Review of The Mad Tatter by J.M. Darhower

Reece Hatfield has just one rule when it comes to falling in love: don't fucking do it. There's no room in his life for another person. He can barely keep a handle on things as it is. A shadow of the man he used to be, Reece spends his days tattooing, the artist inside of him longing for the chance to do something different. 

Avery Moore is all dance, all the time. Ballet is all she's ever known, and she's damn good at it. Her body is her art, a living canvas that captivates Reece the first time he lays his eyes on her. 

He yearns to leave his mark on her body... in more ways than one. 

The tattooed degenerate with a shady past. The beautiful ballerina with a bright future. They live in different worlds, yet somehow, they fit. But just because they fit doesn't mean they belong together. Cracks sometimes form. Two pieces don't always make a whole. The course of love never did run smoothly. Things get messy. 

And Reece doesn't do messy. 

Not anymore.

Overall Rating:  4 Rockin’ ★★★★

When all you have known in your life is people that do not except you for who you are, it can be hard to think of yourself as anything.  It can be common place to think of yourself as a looser, an outcast and not worth much.  Your own family kicked you out, you have a kid that you don’t get to see as much as you would like and you are considered a man whore, life really isn’t that wonderful. That old saying, ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’ can really be applied to the two main characters in the Mad Tatter.

Their two very different worlds collide in this remarkable story that you will not want to put down until the last page is read.  I have to admit that when I started reading this book, I was a little skeptical that a ballerina would hook up with a degenerate tattoo artist that comes with a sordid past but this incredible author makes it work.

The girl of his dream walks into his life and shakes up his “I will not get involved with a woman” attitude.  Reece cannot believe his eyes when he sees Avery for the first time!  She is beautiful, classy and makes all of him stand up and take notice.  She is at his Tattoo Parlor with a friend that wants to get a tattoo and he is determined that she will want to get to know him before she leaves.  How can to opposites attract and survive that attraction? Read this book and you will find unexpected answers.

Steam: 4 stars 

Plot: 4 stars 

Cliffhanger: No

Would I recommend this book: Yes! This is the story of two people that appear so adversely different that they could never work, but they fit like missing pieces of a puzzle.  Really hot sex with a bad boy that knows how to use what he has and a girl that has no idea what she has gotten herself into.  

Would I recommend this author: Yes! This author has a way of telling a story that you will not forget reading.  Characters are well defined and the storyline is unique with interesting kinks that make for a great read.
