Escaping Into Books: Love Restored

About LOVE RESTORED

In the first of a Montgomery Ink spin-off series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan, a broken man uncovers the truth of what it means to take a second chance with the most unexpected woman…

Graham Gallagher has seen it all. And when tragedy struck, lost it all. He’s been the backbone of his brothers, the one they all rely on in their lives and business. And when it comes to falling in love and creating a life, he knows what it’s like to have it all and watch it crumble. He’s done with looking for another person to warm his bed, but apparently he didn’t learn his lesson because the new piercer at Montgomery Ink tempts him like no other.

Blake Brennen may have been born a trust fund baby, but she’s created a whole new life for herself in the world of ink, piercings, and freedom. Only the ties she’d thought she’d cut long ago aren’t as severed as she’d believed. When she finds Graham constantly in her path, she knows from first glance that he’s the wrong kind of guy for her. Except that Blake excels at making the wrong choice and Graham might be the ultimate temptation for the bad girl she’d thought long buried.

These Gallaghers are going to give the Montgomery's a run for their money. Graham was one hot Hero, and I feel many re-reads happening in the future.

To finally put her past fully behind her, Blake moves back to the town she grew up in. She's a completely different person than she was when she left, and she has no desire to ever be that girl again. Now she's the inked up version of herself that she loves and works for the Montgomery's at their tattoo shop.

When she needs to restore and get rid of the house she grew up in she goes to the Gallaghers. Right away Graham hates her, thinking she's just another rich princess he has to work for, and the hate outweighs the attraction he feels for her. But when he starts to get to know the real Blake, he realizes how wrong he was and decides to act on his attraction.

I loved the push pull that Graham and Blake had in the beginning. It kept me captivated to see the sexual tension zinging between them while I was impatiently waiting to see them finally do something about it. And when they did, oh boy was it something special. I loved these two together!

Bottom line, I predict great things for this series and I can't wait to see what the author has in store for us next. Weirdly, I'm kind of wondering if Owen Gallagher will have an mm book, but that's probably the pervy part of my mind wishing for things.
