A Dangerous Kind of Love . . .
When Ellie Watt offered herself to her thuggish former lover Javier to save Camden's life, she never imagined the twisted game Javier had planned for her. Trapped by him and his entourage of killers, Ellie is forced to commit a dangerous, heinous crime-or Javier will kill Camden. Now ex-con artist Ellie must find a way to stay ahead of the game . . . before it destroys her and the only man she ever loved.
Camden McQueen can't forget Ellie Watt. Seeking revenge and pursued by the authorities for a crime he didn't commit, the talented tattoo artist does things he never thought himself capable of to save Ellie. As Camden straddles the line between love and retribution, he vows to do everything in his power to get her back. But if Camden unleashes his dark side, will Ellie still love him?
This book, a continuation of Ellie, Camden, and Javier’s story in Sins & Needles, is seriously messed up. I wanted to stop at one point, throw down my Kindle, and hide in the corner sucking my thumb. The sex was hotter than what was in Sins & Needles, but the criminal minds were that much more twisted. Not that every book needs a moral, but if this book were to have one, it would be “trust no one.” Shooting Scars is an incredible 2nd book that continues the story we read in the first book, and I can only imagine and fear the messedupedness Bold Tricks will bring.
