Luciano DeRose is looking to get the hell out of town. He’s been absent from his position of head artist at Thorn Tattoo since the day he watched his future go up in flames. However, the bonds of family are strong, and he’s dragged back into town as a favor to his younger brother. But Luciano isn’t staying for long, and certainly not for the anniversary of the day his life went to hell.

Melanie Noel has spent most of her adult life fixing Luciano’s. She’s his virtual assistant, organizational guru, and problem-solver extraordinaire. However, this ex-hippie chick wants her boss, and secret crush, to see that he can finally move on. Melanie thinks that this anniversary is the perfect time for Luciano to face his grief, let go, and finally be free to see what’s been waiting for him all along.

When Luciano decides to do everything in his power to leave, Melanie sees that she needs more than logic to make him stay. Risking her heart to save the man she’s loved from afar, Melanie gives into her desire for Luciano - sparked by a world-rocking kiss. The heat between them has the power to heal all wounds, or it may set both their lives up in flames.

Always Love A Tattooed Bad Boy

Leslie North is always a great go to for a great, quick listen. I absolutely adored Melanie. I always love a strong female character. I especially loved how she handles Luciano, who seems to always need a swift kick. This was my first E.M. Carberry experience and will not be my last.
I received this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Rose has thorns

I really enjoyed listening to this book by Leslie North and was happy to discover a new to me narrator. I was impressed by the range of distinguishable characters E.M. Carberry was able to perform. The story of Luc and Melanie was not instant attraction, but friends to lovers discovering the importance of living. The imagery in this story was great, and one could feel the inner-demons chasing Luc. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this talented author and narrator.

Great Sassy Woman and Clueless Man

I loved how Luciano and Melanie work together and the relationship between them. This is a really great story and just the way everything builds between these two is awesome. I loved how E. M. Carberry gave voice to these two and how easy it is to fall under the spell of his words.

Great Read

Thorn by Leslie North was a great read. It is the second book in the Thorn Tattoo Studio Series. Luciano is the head artist at Thorn Tattoo who is just trying to get out of town since his ex died. Melanie has spent a lot of time fixing Luciano's life even though she has a crush on him. I loved reading Luciano and Melanie's story and cant wait to read more by Leslie North.
