Tempting, inked and addictive. Alex is all that and more…
Six months into tattooing at Ravage and already I’m the most wanted and sought out tattooist. My biggest clientele consists of women.
They come into the shop, end up in my bed and we both come out happy. It’s been my release since I’ve stopped fighting. It’s become part of the “new” me.
But when Tripp reappears in my life, I can’t deny the fact that I would do anything for that girl.
So when she asks me to move in with her and her ‘boyfriend’ – our other childhood friend – I never expected for things to get so messed up and twisted that I would find myself only more attracted to her by each passing second or wanting to protect her from everything that isn’t me.
I have worked so hard over the years to suppress my feelings for her but when I find out that her and Lucas have been having an open relationship, I have the strong urge to rip his heart straight from his chest – to destroy the very thing that keeps him breathing.
What I didn’t expect was for Lucas to ask what he did. For him to ask me to do the one thing I have secretly longed for since I was old enough to know what the need was. The second thing I never expected was the look of need that I saw in Tripp’s eyes when he asked.
One night of free passion could change our lives forever.
I never said that was a good thing either...

☆ I received an ARC via the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for always being on the lookout for me! I really appreciate it!! ☆3.5 stars!! “I never hold back. Fast and dirty is what I’m known for.” Alex Carter and Tripp Daniels grew up as best friends and have always been there for the other through thick and thin.

My first five-star book of the year. To say Something for the Pain is right up my alley is an understatement. Victoria Ashley is the queen of writing outside the normal, with the hero stealing the heroine away from the other guy. I do recommend reading Get off the Pain first to understand certain events. Alex and Tripp have been best friends since they were kids. They are inseparable and always put each other first. Both secretly in love with each other and afraid to take the next step and ruin
