REVIEW: The next installment of the Men of Inked: Sinner series, Need is a fast paced, action packed, swoony romance. As always I recommend reading a series in order, but each book is a standalone in the interconnected series.

Lulu is a professional planner, she lives and breathes all things organization, when her car breaks down on the side of a random road, she is less than pleased. She calls a tow, as one does and gets handsome loaner Oliver to the rescue. The man, quite literally saves her life, and then makes it his mission to keep her safe. Even for a Gallo girl, Lulu is stunned, she can take care of herself, but with Oliver, there is just something about him that makes her feel a certain way.

It’s always nice to visit with characters from previous books, and the Gallos will always hold a special place in my heart. Their tight knit family, love and loyalty for one another and their willingness to go as far as they need to protect their own, it’s what makes the series so enjoyable. Lulu and Oliver have this quiet chemistry between them, their attraction is palpable, but it’s also an unspoken bond they have. When Oliver protects Lulu’s sister, it means more to her than she can say, and really shows her the kind of man Oliver is.

The plot was easy to follow, the spicy moments good, the angst and banter really made the story what it is though. Overall very pleased with the newest addition to the series and can’t wait for more.
