Description
He tattoos her skin; she gets under his. Can these two ever find something permanent together?
Joel’s got the whole “gruff Viking pirate” thing nailed, with his somewhat-cranky attitude and a body that’s a living billboard for his arty tattoo studio.
But underneath the bad boy façade, he harbors a devotion to his adopted family that’s as true blue as his deepest indigo inks. All he wants is to make his business a success so that his people will be proud of him.
When his planned expansion is thwarted, Joel can’t help holding a grudge against the woman who stole his perfect location, no matter how enticingly adorable Olivia’s mussed hair and bunny slippers are.
For her part, Olivia has no idea she’s coming across as “bed-rumpled sex goddess” rather than “sleep-interrupted, perpetually frazzled single mom,” but either way her skin prickles the first time she meets the presumptive, cocky Joel.
She’s dreamed of meeting a Mr. Nice Guy to offer her and her daughter Abby some stability, and while she knows she shouldn’t judge a book by its cover (or a man by his ink, in this case), nothing about Joel screams “smooth sailing ahead.” So why then is she so drawn to him?

What a fun story this turned out to be. Funny and emotional with some good main characters. Olivia and Joel are kind of good at self-sabotaging, with Joel being in a number #1 Class all by himself. It was fun to see how bold and adventurous that Olivia used to be until life slapped her down. Her relationship with her daughter was so good though. And that girl, Abby she was innocently hilarious. The things that came out of her mouth, made me laugh. She was bold, adventurous and sweet just like her mother used to be.
Joel what a grump he is just as advertised. In fact,his colorful best friend Zel said that Joel's love language was grumpiness. Who wouldn't smile at that? There is so much more to him than that but he also has the weight of the world on his back.
If you want to enjoy another fun person, check out Granny V. I fell in love with her just like everyone else. There is also more wacky people to enjoy too and I did. In fact, I enjoyed the whole story and liked the ending too.
