Carmen
I know what I want. I’m strong, I have a child, I know my worth. So Ink walking back into my life after ghosting me? Not in the plans. He’s covered in tattoos, he’s part of a Motorcycle Club - my parents don’t approve. So here’s the choice: follow my head - or my heart.
Ink
Mystic Venom MC member, tatted up ex-con, mechanic- all true descriptions of me. I’ve never cared before what people think of that - so why now? I made a mistake when I walked away a few months ago, but I’ll change. I can fix this. I know what I want now: her.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
Looks can be deceiving, and with tatted-up MC biker Ink, that's definitely the case. He looks a bit rough around the edges, spent time in prison, but has a heart of gold that he proudly puts on display in his attempt to claim single mom Carmen while keeping her and her daughter safe from a rival MC. After the glimpses readers got of him in the previous installment in the Mystic Venom MC series, Rider, I knew I needed to see more of him and his decadently delicious flirtations with Carmen. With each turn of the page I got all that and more in this action-packed tale of revenge and second chances!
To the outside world Ink looks like nothing but a bad boy, a tatted-up criminal who women should stay away from if they value their hearts. The reality though is that he has a heart of gold, is a loving and protective man, and is completely drool-worthy in his interactions with Carmen and her daughter Lucia. Carmen and Ink might've had a rocky start to their relationship courtesy of her parent's dislike of him (and through a misunderstanding and miscommunication) but when her car once again breaks down he's given a second chance to make her his...and he wastes no time in becoming her white knight. Ink knew the moment he met Carmen that she was meant to be his and is now determined to prove it to her too. From giving her his truck to drive to bringing her and her daughter into his home when danger from actions in the previous book have a rival MC now seeking revenge. Throughout this book Ink proved his love over and over, in big deeds and small. He was a strong support to Carmen, never being overbearing, but always there for her as she navigated being a single mom. He's sweet and sexy, and his interactions with Lucia warmed my heart and made me smile.
Carmen's a single mom just trying to juggle everything going on in her realistically depicted life. It's a precarious balancing act of school, work, and parenting a sweet little girl, that implodes the moment her car breaks down again. The strong and sexy Ink is who comes to her rescue which gives them a second chance at HEA (and the sweet and flirtatious burgeoning connection they started) after miscommunication pulled them apart. Carmen's a tough heroine, one who knows what she wants out of life and is going after it. To save money she lives with her parents but it's not an easy situation as they're judgemental of her life and of her being a single mom. In a culture where women are to manage the house and care for their husband, Carmen was often made to feel like she was lacking and was a disappointment to her parents. While this hurts her feelings she doesn't let it pull her down. She's definitely her own woman and makes her own decisions without letting her family overrule her choices. She's a memorable heroine who I was rooting for from start to finish and I thoroughly enjoyed the family she made with her, Lucia, and Ink once they moved into his house. Watching all of them together just made me happy!
This book might've started off a bit slow but it quickly picked up the pace once Ink and Carmen embraced their second chance. Carmen and Ink were crackling in their interactions, sweet and flirtatious, and it's clear that they were meant to be together from the very start. Their journey to HEA was a heartwarming one, a journey full of heart and soul that was nicely balanced with the plan of vengeance set forth by the rival MC. Carmen and Ink's love was put to the test through the rival MCs machinations and kept me frantically turning the pages. Along with this unforgettable main couple was an equally entertaining cast of secondary characters, ones from the previous book and ones that have me excited for the future. On a whole this was an exciting thrill ride with a heartwarming romance that's another satisfying addition in the Mystic Venom MC series!
My rating for this is an A-
*I got this book from the author for review in exchange for my honest opinion.
