She was as free as the wildflowers she loved so much.
My resolve weakened further, a hairline fracture breakin' through to a fault line runnin' the length of my willpower.
I was going down fast.
“He planted flowers all over my body, inside the cage of my ribs, in the fertile soil of my heart, yet he never noticed how they bloomed just for him.”
“A flower is beautiful as it is, transient, full of colour and life for the time it blooms, but it's simple, shallow even. A flower is just a flower. But art? Art is a flower painted so it won't die. A flower on the skin of a woman with depth and texture to her soul? It's the context that gives it beauty."
“She was mine. And I was hers in the way a wolf is owned by his moon, elementally, fuckin’ irrevocably.”
"You feel this? This is weight of a life. I took it with one squeeze of the trigger.”
"I knew there were real monsters in the world. I’d been born of one."Told in multiple POV, Inked in Lies is a beautiful blend of taboo, action, suspense, passion, and raw and emotional love. The journey that Nova and Lila take is difficult as they both have baggage to unpack along the way. The dialogue is rich with color and Ms. Darling is a true artist painting a picture full of vivid colors of real-life love, loss, pain, and joy! The spectrum of emotions I experienced while reading this love story left me speechless. Although I adored the complex plot and rich character development, some of the individual choices made by both Nova and Lila caused my blood pressure to skyrocket! The action is intense and the love and loyalty within the brotherhood of the club make the supporting characters unforgettable.
" I could feel the roots of him tug hard around my heart, urging me to go to him."Overall, Inked in Lies would appeal to readers who enjoy their heroes rough around the edges. With a tender romance full of challenges every step of the way, Lila and Nova prove once again that love conquers all. This is my first Giana Darling book and I can say with complete certainty it will not be my last. In fact, I have already loaded my kindle with the other books from this series. If there is one thing that I shy away from its angst and yet, I would reread Nova and Lila's story again and again just to relive each and every moment!
He was it. My dream man wrapped up in a sinful package. And he was still completely and utterly forbidden.
She was mine. And I was hers in the way a wolf is owned by his moon, elementally, fuckin’ irrevolcably.
