Harper<\/strong> just got kicked to the curb by her boyfriend. A drunk and crazy night out with the girls leads her to Vik\u2019s tattoo shop. She is tired of being the good girl. She wants to live it up a bit and getting tatted is the perfect start. It doesn\u2019t hurt that Vik is hot and they shared a moment in high school.<\/p>

I liked Harper. She quickly shed her good girl persona and got down and dirty with Vik. He didn\u2019t remember her and she never mentioned their past interaction. I kind of wanted to know more about that but in the grand scheme of things, it really didn\u2019t matter.<\/p>

I liked Vik<\/strong> as a main character but there is very little to him outside of his good looks and great body. He is very sweet and kind but I don\u2019t know more to him. I have to chalk a lot of the missing pieces up to the length of the book but I think that is still a poor excuse since Vik swears up and down that he is only good as a sex buddy. Why is he so closed off?<\/p>

I saw the set up for Harper getting her heart broken a mile away and it annoyed me. The ending was too rushed. Vik literally came around in one chapter and it took away from their HEA. There is a lot of substance that could have been added to the story to make it just perfect.<\/p>

I enjoyed this one way better than the first book in the series. I look forward to seeing other members of the club fall in love.<\/p>
