Review: Ink Deep by Renee Lovins

 Kumiko Lei     5 Stars, Ink Deep, Novel Reviewers, Renee Lovins, Review     No comments   


Most of Briony Carmichael's body was tragically burned as a child. Deeply hurt by the reactions of those closest to her, Briony believes her scars render her unlovable. She hides in her apartment, secluding herself from the outside world.

Tattoo artist Corbin Franklin has everything - including a brain tumor that will kill him. Determined to not let his art die with him, he seeks someone to become his living legacy, a walking canvas for his art.

Drawn in by the idea of having her scars covered with beauty, Briony enters Corbin's studio and changes both their lives. However, when concerned loved ones interfere in their blossoming romance, the resulting chaos could cost them everything.

Author's Note: In this reimagined version of Beauty and the Beast, readers should expect a happy ending that doesn't follow a HEA as expected in a traditional romance."
Just from reading the synopsis, you pretty much get that you will need tissues for this one.

I'm not sure what to say about this.  The cover and title intrigued me, the synopsis screamed "feels", so I said yes and proceeded to read.  I mean, yeah, on the surface I knew what was going to happen, but below that surface, I had no idea.

Briony has got to be one of the strongest characters I've ever had the pleasure of reading.  Even though she doesn't see herself that way, she is truly amazing.  I only wish her parents could see her for what she is.  She has this inner beauty that makes her shine.  The world took a giant shit on her and even though she has closed herself off, she keeps pushing on.

Corbin... I don't even have words for him.  Really, I don't.

Briony and Corbin changed each other in remarkable ways.  This is just a beautiful story and I'm going to start crying again trying to write this review.

While I was reading this, I was angry and I was sad.  I was elated at some points, but there was still an underlying sadness, then I would get angry all over again.  And when I finished this, I won't say I was happy, but I was content and at the same time a little empty.  I only wish that Corbin's legacy included one other thing.
