Brighten Karrington is a pre-med student with parents from the right side of town who are over-protective and extremely concerned about their image. When Brighten decides to do something for herself and get a little tattoo which she could hide she has no idea it will lead her to Madden Ransom, the kind of man women dream about.
Madden Ransom is a highly sought after tattoo artist with no tattoos. He is struggling with making sure his younger sister, Devanie, is taken care of by his mother who seems to be less and less interested. His father is in jail and Madden hasn't talked to him since he went to jail all those years ago.
Brighten is so much different than Madden could ever expect but each of them have issues and Madden is not looking for a relationship. As the two begin to get closer will they be able to tear down their own walls or will the past stop them from finding their happy ever after?
This was such a good book that was filled with emotions from start to finish on so many different levels!!
I loved Brighten and although she grew up rich she really wanted her own path and didn't want to do a career that didn't make her happy. She knew why her parents were so protective over her but she wanted to make her own mistakes and follow her own dreams. She was so friendly and I loved that she was trying to find her own way.
Madden was an awesome character who was still so troubled about his past and everything that had happened that left him without Dallas. He was there for his sister as much as possible as he knew his mom was just not into it anymore which was sad. Right from the beginning you understand he avoids relationships yet there was something about Brighten that he just couldn't stay away from.
The chemistry between Madden and Brighten was through the roof and what started out as "casual" slowly started becoming more and more but there were issues with that. I felt bad with when things began to go downhill with Brighten letting her parents know she didn't want med school and then things began to get so much worse from there.
My heart broke for what Brighten went through with her parents and how Madden got dragged into it all. I knew things were about to go completely sideways but I just never imagined how much!
There were so many twists and turns towards the end that left me breaking into a million pieces and I had my fingers crossed that things were going to work out as it didn't look good!!
The very, very end was awesome and I loved how Brighten reacted with the truth!
Such an amazing read that left my heart broken and then put back together just in time!!
5 Stars
