Marked (Roads #1.5) by Garrett Leigh

This novella contains the scene in which Ash does the cover up of Pete's tattoo and what follows next was sexy and sweet at the same time. It's a free download from the publisher's website (Click HERE to download).


In the previous installment we got the relationship buildup between Ash and Pete from Ash's POV only (Pete's POV was only in the "present" after the relationship was solid), this scene was from the start of their relationship so it was a nice glimpse into how Pete saw things right before it became "serious" between them. 


Really enjoyed this one. Short as it was it was still very complete in seeing both Ash and Pete for who they are and how they are with each other. 

Off to read the next one! :

Marked (Missing Moment from Slide)   /   Freed (Missing Moments from Rare)

Ash had a rough childhood, living in several foster care houses before he ended up living on the street of Philadelphia drawing with chalk on side walks. That's where Ellie finds him. A rich girl with a heart of gold who does her best to help him build some sort of a life. After rehab and finished his studies to become a tattoo artist she brings him back with her to Chicago there she introduces him to Pete - a guy who is looking to rent his free bedroom. 

At first they barely speak to one another. Ash isn't a very communicative guy and Pete is working a lot of consuming hours as a paramedic. Yet somehow through few talks they do have something forms there. Pete holds his hand out to Ash, and surprisingly Ash accepts. From there it was a beautiful slide into an amazing love story, against all odds, or rather against Ash's horrible past who doesn't stay there and comes roaring back. 

The first book was outstanding. An amazing, angsty read. I loved it to pieces. Pete was a sweet heart and Ash, he was something else. It was impossible not to fall for the both of them. They had quite a long way to go to deal with Ash's past and present but with the faith, acceptance and strength Pete showed it's no wonder it all worked out in the end. 

It's a beautiful beautiful love story for the "wounded hero" lovers.
