415 Ink #2
A savior lies in the heart of every good man, but sometimes only love can awaken the man inside the savior.
The world’s had it out for San Francisco firefighter Mace Crawford from the moment he was born. Rescued from a horrific home life and dragged through an uncaring foster system, he’s dedicated his life to saving people, including the men he calls his brothers. As second-in-command of their knitted-together clan, Mace guides his younger siblings, helps out at 415 Ink, the family tattoo shop, and most of all, makes sure the brothers don’t discover his darkest secrets.
It’s a lonely life with one big problem—he’s sworn off love, and Rob Claussen, one of 415 Ink’s tattoo artists, has gotten under his skin in the worst way possible.
Mace’s world is too tight, too controlled to let Rob into his life, much less his heart, but the brash Filipino inker is there every time Mace turns around. He can’t let Rob in without shaking the foundations of the life he’s built, but when an evil from his past resurfaces, Mace is forced to choose between protecting his lies and saving the man he’s too scared to love.
Review:
Back in the City by the Bay with the sexy men that work at and own 415 Ink. This time we get Mace, and his story isn't an easy one, but then wouldn't be a Rhys Ford book if it was easy.
Mace is the cocky, hardass firefighter in the family. But that persona is hiding so much hurt and fear that it practically radiates off the page. His back story broke my heart, and seriously made me want to kick some ass.
Rob is such a great balance for Mace. He is strong enough to handle Mace's pain and gentle enough to love the flawed man that stole his heart.
I love going into a Ford book because I know I am not only going to get a beautiful love story but it's going to be filled with heart and humor and family and so many pop culture references that I have to read the book multiple times just to be sure I catch them all.
