⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

He’s had a crush on her since he was fourteen, now he’s working with her, and she gave him the chance of apprenticing with her. His crush turned into more over the years. She just doesn’t know it yet. Sam is a talented tattoo artist and this time in Mexico at the tattoo convention in Cancun will get his work more recognized and his name associated with awards. Sam’s grown up in the three years he’s worked with Toni Valentine and it’s time for her to see him as more than the teen age boy that she took on as an apprentice.

She’s a talented woman that has done so much in her short career as a tattoo artist, but she’s well known and a star in the business. Toni Valentine also a woman that is still hurting from a huge loss of a love. She’s just going through the motions of life at this point. She’s also in danger and has no idea that she is, or why. When she finds herself in front of a notorious cartel leader in Mexico, her whole world will be turned even more upside down.

I enjoyed this story of Sam and Toni’s discovery of their HEA. Sam is not afraid to put himself out there and show Toni that he can make her happy and he’s also patient with her, and willing to wait for her to be ready to move one. When that time comes, whew, what a ride these two have. I love the characters and the story is action packed. The lives of Toni and her family are blown to bits when secrets are revealed, and Toni’s safety is in danger. I give this story a 5-star review and I am looking forward to reading Elle’s story. Her story looks to be just as hot as the others.
