About this ebook

Meet the Damage Control Boys - set in the world of the bestselling series Inked Brotherhood. New Adult Contemporary Romance.

Returning to Madison hurts. I thought I’d left my past behind, but the past goes on living. I carry it inside of me, it’s a piece of me. People have marked me in indelible ways and I drag the shreds of my soul behind me, trying to put my pieces back together. I’m not the Amber I used to be. I fly under the radar, try to be invisible.

It doesn't always work. Drawing attention scares me. It always spells trouble. Returning to my home town is a last ditch effort to lay my demons to rest and start anew, for good this time.

Meeting Jesse Lee wasn’t in the plan. Yet here he is with his heart-stopping, sexy grin, handsome like a god, shining bright. He’s full of life, full of heat, packing the energy of a thousand suns in his gaze and muscular body. Jesse burns, and the pain of being near him is sweet.

But he’s foiling my plans. It’s hard to remain a ghost when he’s around. Hard to avoid his attention, to remain invisible. He sees me, really sees me, and behind his bright radiance, I can see shadows from his own past crowding in. He’s swimming hard to stay afloat even as he reaches for me.

What is he afraid of? And how can he save me from drowning when he can’t even save himself?

Ratings and reviews

Great Read... I am a first time reader of JO Raven and I am impressed with this authors writing style. There is great Character development, things move along at a fast and steady pace. It sizzles "boy does it sizzle." It touches on some dark but real issues. I would definitely recommend this book. Christy Radical Reads Book Blog

4.5 stars Book 2 in the Damage Control series is Jesse and Amber's book. Amber is returning to the place that houses both her best friend and her traumatic childhood. She has some hangups to overcome if she's going to survive this town. Jesse has some hangups of his own stemming from his childhood. For the first time he's somewhere he can call home and it scares him.He works his tail off hoarding money while constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. Jesse and Amber were two perfectly broken people in need of the right person to heal them. I loved Jesse. My heart broke for him a few times throughout the story but the end made up for it! As for the secondary characters, Seth was my favorite, he piqued my interest. The poor guy just can't catch a break and I cannot wait for his story, I just know it's going to be great.

I am so in love with the Damage Boyz. The storylines are fresh and the “damage” makes these men so lovable you just want to grab them up for a cuddle. Jo Raven captures the soul of her characters and makes them three dimensional so you feel like your friend is telling you about their own day. The women that end up loving these boys are strong and that is another great thing that Jo Raven portrays with her engrossing and engaging story-telling. I plan to find a way to get all of Jo’s books that I can, who needs food anyway… Right? Right. I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.
