Michel’s Review
Congratulations to Lauren Dane on her new dynamic Ink & Chrome series. The first book, Opening Up, is a sensational introduction to this series.
PJ comes from automotive royalty. Her family’s tire corporation has been one of the reigning companies in the automotive industry. PJ and her siblings are expected to take over the throne. The only problem is that PJ isn’t conforming into the expected mold for a leading executive in the company. Between her lack of a college degree to her artistic visions most of her family doesn’t see her as a promising part of the corporation. PJ has visions of expanding and updating the company’s presence in other avenues of the industry.
When she meets Asa Barrons from Twisted Steel she begins to bring her visions to life. Not only is she getting the chance to bring her visions to life, she has met a man that makes her stand up and take notice.
Asa Barrons comes from the complete opposite of PJ’s background. His dedication to his family is to be admired. His work at Twisted Steel is phenomenal. He’s the perfect kind of guy for PJ. He’s strong, inked, talented, and smart.
PJ and Asa develop a relationship that goes beyond friendship. It is a relationship based upon respect, admiration, and pure sexual chemistry.
Together they are a new force to be reckoned with in and out of the showroom.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love that Lauren Dane created verbal interaction between the characters rather than focusing on their sexual chemistry, even though that was smoking hot. The dialogue was fantastic and the story flowed beautifully.
I am looking forward to the next book in the Ink & Chrome series.
