Lauren Dane doesn't hold back with the sixth installment to the Brown Family series. It's red hot, blistering action will have you panting for more. The sex between Raven and Jonah is far more than just scorching hot. It is also a rough portrayal of the character's personalities. Jonah has a slight dominant side to him that comes out during sex. Similarly, what makes the sex so explosive is Dane's signature ingredient, a strong, unapologetic heroine in Raven.
One of the things I've noticed is that Dane implements a "tell, not show" style of writing in this book. I would have liked some more showing, as it further engages the reader and also makes for a better story overall. While I do believe that readers can enjoy the book for its romance and its story as a standalone, a lot of the happiness will stem from the fact that there are a lot of familiar faces from previous books in the series as well as characters from Dane's other series.
The touch of angst also transforms this story into one of healing the heart as well. The heroine addresses her dark past and through her relationship with Jonah, she manages to overcome those personal barriers to find a sense of peace within herself. In DRAWN TOGETHER, Raven and Jonah's story will find itself inked onto your hearts like a tattoo.
Book Summary
Beauty is more than skin–deep...
Tattoo artist Raven Smith is blunt and hard, broken and
jaded, dark and beautiful. While she doesn't hide her
painful past, she does keep a wall around her heart. She's
free sexually—but no one gets to the real Raven
beneath the prickly exterior.
With a voice like smoke, Jonah Warner is a
smooth–talking, highly successful attorney, with a
body that should never be hidden by a suit. He's the kind of
man who never takes no for an answer and always gets what he
wants. And what he wants is Raven. She's a survivor, and he
finds that incredibly alluring.
Jonah gets under her skin in a way Raven has never
experienced. He makes her break all her
rules—including her no–monogamy rule.
But when a figure from Raven's past shows up at the
tattoo parlor and drops a bomb into her life, their
relationship will face the ultimate challenge...
