About this listen

"My house is a mess, my underwear is mixing with hers in the laundry, and my safe, quiet haven now smells of burnt candles and her."

Indy

Being the founder of a non-profit and keeping it going is my only focus right now. I don't have time for distraction–men, my health, my friends–all of it takes a back seat to me keeping this going. I've lived by other people's rules for too long, I am ready to break out on my own, and I'll prove to everyone I can do it. The Crown Project helps sick children and their families find some happiness during hard times, and I am committed to making it happen. If I can't have my own, I'll give someone else a fairytale. The only man I'd want is off-limits to me anyway. He's the meanest, grumpiest, and, unfortunately, the sexiest man I know. He also works with my brother. So there's that. I'll always be a supporting character, never the princess. My life just won't let me. It's impossible.

Derek

Without routine and order, the only thing left is chaos. Chaos leaves room for disorder and unhappiness. And that leads to betrayal. Never again will I allow that to happen. I am steady, focused, and at the top of my game as a tattoo artist at Hel's Ink. I am established, successful, and there is nothing that happens in my life that I don't allow. And then there is Indy. She is inescapable - a whirlwind of kindness and beauty and goodness. Everything about her is impossible. Left with no choice but to help her out of a challenging situation. I soon regret my decision and the insanity that comes with it. I let her in. Into my home and my life. But never– never- into my heart. There's no such thing as fairytales, and love stories don't really exist. But when everything changes, I wonder if maybe I've found a little piece of chaos I can live with.

Loved it! 💜

Book 4 of the Hel's Ink series by DJ Krimmer, and again, I devoured this book's take on the grumpy/sunshine trope.
This book follows Indy and Derek and their journey to finding love and understanding that love is not always sunshine and roses that their can be moments of grey in between. One thing that I have come to love and admire about this author is that she writes characters that are experiencing everyday struggles whether the issues are mental health based or related to a disability. She is not afraid to tackle the dark side.
Indy appears to have it all together with a positive attitude, but she struggles with MS and the constant feeling that she is a burden to those around her. Derek is the typical grumpy tattoo artist who has sworn of relationships and commitment. When these two meet they are forced to come to realization that they are each other's perfect person to overcome the insecurities that plague their minds- this constant feeling that they are not good enough only to realize they are more than enough for each other! Loved it!!
Molly and Joe's performances were perfection. The perfect match up!
