Crave Me (Geek Ink #2)

Like I said before....here we are, checking out (aka binge-reading) the Geek Ink series (by R. Cayden). The second book is titled "Crave Me."

["Desire thrusts them together, but can two men who are so different really make love work?

There’s no way my tattoo artist is interested in a geeky botanist like me.
I came in to get my first tattoo, a flower, after my friends convinced me it would help build my confidence.
But as soon as I’m under Joey’s hands, as soon as he’s marking me with his ink, all these other desires come alive.
I try to ignore it. He’s quiet and gruff, with a stony expression I can’t read, no matter how hard I try.
I think we couldn’t be more different, but after a blizzard passes through Chicago one fateful night, something joins us.

I need him, and my heart insists that Joey needs me, too."]

GAAAAH. The thing I love about novellas is all of the fluff and the angst and the plot all shoved into less pages. It's a full blown adventure with the falling, and the love, and the oh-shit-I'm-in-love as well as the oh-shit-I-can't-be-in-love-because-xyz, all into half of the amount of pages.

And this novella was worth the binge read.

I hated how bad this book described getting a tattoo. Because it was sooooo fuuuucking accurate, it hurt (emotionally). Like the addiction is real and I need another one and this book's description of the tattooing process and the endorphins and the addition-quality of it all did not help one bit. Thank. You. Very. Much. So, I'll be off planning my next tattoo(s) and possibly emailing an artist or two at my favorite shop. Goodbye now.

Trigger Warnings: bullying, violence, homophobia, etc
