Alyssa Jackson is one of the lucky ones. She has a thriving business, great friends, devoted husband, adorable daughter, and a scorching hot sex life that would be the envy of any married couple. Then, one tragic loss flips her world upside down. Floundering and unsure of how to cope with their grief, Alyssa and her husband drift apart until they are living as roommates instead of a deeply connected couple. Alyssa will do anything to get the intense passion back into her life and marriage, no matter how far out of the box she has to step.
If there is one thing tattoo shop owner Derek knows, it’s that once he set his sights on his wife, he never wanted another woman. Years together haven't begun to put a dent in his desire for her. But everything falls apart when the anguish of loss barges into their lives. Adrift in his own suffering, Derek doesn’t realize how damaged his marriage is until his wife forces him to confront their issues. Now, he’ll do whatever it takes to get their lives back on track, even if the plan seems outrageous.
This is the first book in the Trident Ink series.
Alyssa and Derek Jackson were an extremely happily married
couple but then suffered the most tragic loss. Over the last couple of years
they have not only lost their way but each other. Always passionate and closer
than close, they have become virtual strangers.
Derek is totally focused on his tattoo parlour business and
making an expansion of it, whilst Alyssa is resetting up her styling business
but neither know this of each other. Finally realising what is at risk of being
lost, Alyssa seeks external help which leads to some amazing interaction with each
other again but could this be the catalyst for them both to get back what they
once had?
This was a deeply emotive and heart wrenching read, that my
emotions were all over the place. However there was also a hot bed of passion
and temptation to add another dimension to the read.
I loved both characters and was instantly drawn to them.
Derek was ultra alpha but hid his emotions well, however his deep love for his
wife was unmistakable. Alyssa was so lost but with the help of her bestie, Roxie
she was able to comprehend what she was in danger of losing. This drew out her
strength and determination which illustrated her character perfectly.
I really enjoyed this and the emotional rollercoaster it
took me on. There were some parts where I thought more could have been explored
with the couple to have more emotional scenes outside the bedroom but this was just
a small detail.
Overall this was a four star read I would definitely recommend
to others.
