Review / Release Blitz: Fox (Hel's Ink #1) by DJ Krimmer


She’s too young for me, and far too complicated.

Fox: Hel’s Ink, a must-read, age gap, enemies to lovers romance from bestselling author DJ Krimmer is now available with never seen before content!


Janie
When my father passed away, I assumed my grieving would be as simple as closing a book and starting another. Only, he had other plans.

Leaving me his beloved tattoo shop, I’m stuck to figure out what exactly to do with it, all while being constantly reminded of him.

Selling it was the easiest option, but after hearing some of the artists elated at the idea because they swore I’d ruin it if I took over, and reading the fine print of my father’s will, I’m determined to prove them wrong.

The only problem is Fox.

He’s arrogant, self-absorbed, and rude–doing everything in his power to show just how true their words would ring. Unfortunately for him though, I’ve never been afraid of a challenge.

Fox
Hel’s Ink was supposed to be mine, but after my mentor passed away, I learned he had other plans in mind.

Leaving the shop to someone like Janie was a bad idea. Sure she may be able to make it look good on the surface, but there is more to running this place than social media posts and some paint. We’re a family and she’s not welcomed.

Only, the longer she’s here, the harder it’s proving to believe my own words.

She’s too young for me, and far too complicated, but I can’t help but wonder what would happen if I just give in.

MY REVIEW


Janie wants nothing to do with the tattoo parlor that was more important to her father than she, his own daughter. Oh he wasn't a horrible father or anything, he was just, preoccupied with his shop, and not with her. Now her father has passed and it's time for Janie to give the shop back to the men who work there, specifically to Fox, her dad's friend and the shop manager. But after hearing a conversation between Fox and one of his colleagues, suddenly Janie's not so sure she's going to sign over the shop to him. Nope, she's going to work here and prove to them she's not the brainless idiot they think she is. And try to ignore the way Fox makes her feel beneath all their antagonism.


Torch, what he likes to call Janie to irritate her, is Fox's best friend's daughter. Not only does she drive him absolutely nuts with her influencer lifestyle and all the makeup she wears, but he knows he's not anywhere near capable of being the kind of man who deserves her. It's why he constantly antagonizes her. But when she decides to stick around instead of signing over the tattoo shop to him, all the proximity is wreaking havoc on his restraint, and even his heart, loathe though he is to admit it. If he could get past all his baggage, he could give Janie the one thing no one has ever given her - sticking around because he loves her.


Damn, these two positively lit up my Kindle with all their chemistry! Their banter is witty and snarky and did nothing to disguise just how much they didn't dislike each other as they claimed. They both had a lot of baggage, though, and it got in their way, a lot. In fact, Fox's back and forth was the only thing I didn't like about their story. I wanted to smack him at times, because he was just so frustrating. And of course he managed to hurt Janie because of that baggage, so yeah, not too happy with him at times. Aside from Fox's baggage getting in the way, I liked everything else. Age gaps aren't always my thing, but it's done well here, they are absolutely delicious together, and the secondary cast is one I'm looking forward to reading more about.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
