    About this audiobook

    Candace Andrews has had enough of pleasing others. In an act of birthday rebellion, she sets out to please herself-by walking into the tattoo parlor owned by her cousin's ex-boyfriend. All she wants is a little ink, and Brian's just the guy to give it to her.

    As soon as she submits to his masterful hands, though, the forbidden attraction she's always felt for him resurfaces . . . and she realizes the devilishly sexy artist could give her so much more.

    Sweet, innocent Candace is the last person Brian expected to see again. She's everything he's not, and her family despises him. He doesn't need the hassle, but he needs her, and this time no one is taking her away. Not even those who threaten to make his life a living hell.

    Backed into a corner, Candace faces the worst kind of choice. Cave in to those who think Brian is a living nightmare . . . or hold her ground and risk it all for the one man who rocks her world.

      Yeah I could not agree with all the five star reviews.. I liked Brian well enough but did not care for Candace like at all. First she goes to get tattoo from Brian who she has liked from the beginning of her cousin Michelle's and Brian's relationship. She claimed that she loved this cousin and didn't want to hurt her yet knew how her cousin had loved him she throws herself at Brian getting hurt that he doesnt want to take virginity and she was waiting for him all along.. she goes back and forth she is supposedly 24 yet acts like a twelve year old...Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..(netgalley) voluntarily reviewed with my own thoughts and opinions.

      Synopsis
      Candace Andrews has led a sheltered life and decides to rebel against her family by getting a tattoo. The one person she trusts to help her is Brian Ross, her cousin's ex. Candace has always been attracted to Brian and this is her opportunity to take things to the next level. Will Brian be accommodating?

      Review
      Brian and Candace are a cute couple and their scenes together are hot and steamy. Brian in particular is one gorgeous hunk.

      Unfortunately, this does not compensate for their immature characterization, especially Candace whose hot/cold behavior becomes irritating after a while.

      Moreover, the conflict revolving around Candace's disapproving family is too simplistic and its resolution is completely unbelievable.

      The first book in the series is better and the cameo appearances of Evan, Kelsey and their new baby are great.
    • 4/5
      I thought this one was a little bit better than the first one, but I think I liked the main characters more than Evan and Kelsy. Brian and Candance had as much chemistry as the other two, but their history was different and I really liked how Candance turned out at the end of everything. And Brian is such a badass with a big and sappy heart that I just want him for me. Good book. :)
    • 5/5
      I haven't found one book by Cherrie Lynn I haven't enjoyed! Brian is a hot man covered in ink and piercings that loves heavy metal...what is not to drool about!! there are not many books better than that! This was a hot, hot read~!!
    • 4/5
      When I first decided to read this book I had no idea it was a "new adult" book. I usually stay away from that genre because I'm rarely in the mood for too much angst, too much drama, too much immaturity. I guess I just don't identify anymore. But after realizing it was "new adult", surprisingly, I kept reading. It was just so well written with a minimum of those elements I dislike. Candace is a good girl who has grown up very sheltered and lives under the thumb of her parents. But she's starting to rebel. She's decided she wants a tattoo and she has her sights set on a bad boy tattoo artist. Brian was a troubled teen who now owns the tattoo parlor. This is the point where I had to decide if I was going to keep reading. Good girls looking for bad boy tattoo artists are not my cuppa. But there was just enough good plot and character development to keep going. And I'm glad I finished it. There were scorching hot sex scenes and Candace and Brian were a great couple. Brian was especially responsible and mature despite the problems that came their way. I think Candace was very immature at times. But she managed to grow up a bit near the end. And the book had a great finish. My grade: B-
    • 4/5
      I really like those inked and tattooed bad boys by Cherrie Lynn, although I have to confess that Leave Me Breathless is still my favourite installment of the series so far. The dynamics between Brian and Candace was well developed and progressed nicely as the story continues, but I was missing the ultimate "zing and sizzle" I practically got burned with when reading LMB. B-
    • 5/5
      I think this can be considered a solid 4 stars book.

      In this installment we're facing Brian's story. Brian was a troubled teen, and that left a bitter taste for his family, even though he had picked himself up, opened a business and is behaving (mostly) like a responsible adult. Yes, he's tattooed and pierced, in more than the visible places, but that has nothing to do with his heart.

      His ex girlfriend, Michelle's cousin, Candace, was always in love with Brian. She's been pining for the past 2 years, and now that he and Michelle are broken up, and her cousin had moved on and is dating someone else, Candace is taking the first step in her self-liberation, from the norm in her life and from her controlling family. She's come to him to get a tattoo.

      Their romance is angst filled, and extremely hot and sexy. Candace is growing into her own independent self and learns to stand up for herself in front of her family, especially her tyrannical mother.

      I absolutely adored Brian and his love to Candace. Beyond his sexy, gorgeous and swoony self, he is incredibly mature about everything he's dealing with.

      Another thing that bothered me with the first novel was too much sex and too much sex, explicit anyway, is sometimes too much and distracting from the story. This book was a lot more focused on the plot and worked well with the smut.

      Edit : Just added a 5th star. After reading book 3, I realized this one deserves more. Yes, book 3 is a little more solidly written, but it only grabbed me completely almost half way through, whereas Rock Me had me engrossed from pretty much the beginning. Not to mention Brian. So... yeah.
    • 3/5
      I really enjoyed the emotional angst of this story. The first 3/4 were pretty delicious. The sex scenes were spicy and I enjoyed the heroine's internal battle between doing what her family wanted vs what she wanted. The hero was hot and I liked seeing him fall.

      After the 3/4 mark the story kind of fell apart. The heroine started making some strange decisions and the hero started acting emo. This isn't a perfect story but I did enjoy it for the most part.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this book. I normally don't get into coming of age angsty stories, I suppose because as my Mom has said I was always the 15 going on 30 teenager.

      But this is a well written book, well paced and both characters have interesting character development. The sex scenes are amazing and they certainly make me wonder what being with a guy with an Apa would be like. ;)

    • 4/5
      I've been reading for ages how Brian was everyone's new favorite book boyfriend, and after reading Rock Me, I totally get it. Brian is pretty much perfection- tatted up pierced bad boy, with a sweet, gooey, melty center. When he fell for Candace, he was totally all in, he didn't run from his feelings, he didn't try to pretend it wasn't happening, and that was so awesome.

      And Candace is the type of virgin heroine I wish we had more of. Yes, she was innocent as far as men go, but she wasn't some bumbling, naive twit with no clue what that part of her body was for. She just had very strict controlling parents. But she wasn't afraid of sex, and she wasn't afraid of her body, she'd even given herself orgasms before. Nowhere near as good as the ones Brian gave her, of course.

      Candace did bug me a bit with her back and forth about Brian and her parents, but I kinda got it. She's been under their thumbs for her whole life, doing pretty much what she was told, plus she depended on them to pay for her apartment and her school. I was happy to see that she was finally willing to set out on her own, get a job, pay for her own school. And she was 23, hell, I'm 39 and my mom can still make me feel like a 12 year old, incapable of doing anything right. I just wanted Candace to see that even if she was married to Country Club Carl, had her mom's dream job as a teacher, and had perfect kids, she still wouldn't have been happy.
    • 4/5
      Oh yeah, this one was good! Loved it. Can't wait to read more by this author.
    • 5/5
      Brian, is not only tattooed, but pierced. BONUS! Pardon me while I fan myself. He works as a tattoo artist. Candace and Brian are friends because he used to date her cousin. They haven't seen each other since the relationship went sour. When Candace decides to get a tattoo, she goes to Brian. The way Cherrie Lynn describes Brian, well the man is seriously sexy. Candace and Brian are feeling out their relationship and it brought a smile to my face more than once as I watched it unfold.
      “I want to bury myself so deep inside you, you’ll think you won’t ever get me out” - Brian
      One of my favorite reads. I liked this one so much I was about 40 pages in when I said, "Whoa, I need to go back and sloooooow down. Savor it." The chemistry between Candace and Brian ins explosive. Cherrie Lynn builds the sexual tension to a fevered pitch. This is one I moved into my personal library.

      Apadravya I will respect any man who has one of these - all for the greater good.
    • 3/5
      This story lead to a tantalizing and horrifying Google images search digression. The story itself was entertaining but not memorable.
    • 4/5
      I'm keeping this short because Candace wore me the hell out with her waffling. The high star rating is for Brian, his apadravya and for the great writing that sent my emotions (and hormones) on a roller coaster ride.
    • 2/5
      Awful heroine. Everything else was great, including the hero, but the heroine ruins it. The first book was better.

      2.5 Stars
    • 4/5
      A book about a girl learning that it's alright to be herself.

      Candace always pretty much does what her family tells her to do and the book tells her journey and struggles to be her own person.

      There are many scenes when I wanted to choke her for giving in to the pressure her family puts on her and putting a distance between her and Brian.

      But Brian doesn't give up that easily and keeps pursuing her in all his glory. Ahhh, have I mentioned that he has several tattoos and piercings? Yes, we encounter the cliché of the heavily tattoo'd, scary looking guy who is just a bit of a softie after all. I'm a huge sucker for that though.

      All in all, the story is sometimes cheesy, sometimes frustrating, sometimes seriously sexy, charged with chemistry between likeable characters and an enjoyable read.

      I'm definitely glad that I chose to read this :).
    • 4/5
      Beautifully written story of love worth fighting for. The characters are different in appearance but not on the inside. A family trying to get in the way but will true love pull through. This story put a smile on my face. A girl trying to find herself and a guy just wanting to be himself. Both having something to prove and both finding it difficult to prove themselves to the ones they love. I always put off buying this book and now I'm kicking myself for not buying it sooner. Worth every penny. I feel in love with the story, the character's, and love all the band's mentioned. Worth the read.
    • 3/5
      I would have gone 4 stars just for the sex alone. I just happen to like the bad boys. What can I say. :-) However, the writing wasn't all that good at times. Too much narrative and the behaviors of the H/h had a tendency to behave juvenile.
