My goodness, I’m still feeling way too many emotions after reading this book! Alicia Rae has definitely earned her spot on a must read author for me when it comes to romance. This was my first by this author and now I totally know that I have been missing out, the writing, the intense romance and killer heart pumping moments are something that makes a great author.

Tattooed Emotions follows Raelyn after she has been told she is now in remission after her brain tumor was removed. Sadly her life has changed, her fiancé left her during that horrible time and now it has made it difficult for her to open up to people. She is worried about the tumor coming back and doesn’t want anyone to get close to her just in case. It seriously breaks my heart that this girl feels that way.

Raelyn meets Damien through a friend and her life takes another unexpected turn. She tries to not be open with him but he is similar to her and wont open up about his past either. Damien has many scars, his tattoos and dominating attitude reveals there is something hidden in him that is dark. I really was rooting for these two to figure out the whole communication thing, it’s definitely tough what they have gone through but they need to heal and need each other.

I was so not prepared for the ending though, I try my best to steer clear of cliffhangers, I’m usually one to wait until the whole series is out. But alas there is a cliffhanger!! Grr argh! Nonetheless this was a great introduction and I love the intense passion between the two.
