Super fun read with great chemistry, banter, and lovable MCs

This book was so much fun to read! The chemistry! The banter! The innuendos! 😂 The two MMCs, Drake and August, are just so lovable it is unreal. And seriously, were there ever two more perfectly matched MCs? And what about that "not-your-run-of-the-mill" meet-cute? 😅 I really loved the dynamic between these two and how they were willing to risk getting burned as opposed to dousing the flames of passion between them (did you guys see what I did there?! 😉😅) And the sp*ce!?!??!?! OMG! Red hot! And soooo good! Especially since both guys were most definitely getting exactly what they had been craving all along! "God, you're everything I've ever wanted." - Who doesn't want to hear something so profound, especially when battling self-doubt? And the family and found family in this book are just amazing! The crew at Alchemy Ink just loves to meddle, but their hearts are in the right place and the support from them and both Drake's and August's families means everything.

Open Liner - August & Drake - Something True

Open Liner - August & Drake - Something True ‘I swallowed hard and settled into bed and tugged August in with me. He toppled over me, and we were a tangle of limbs, of skin, of heat. I kissed him for all I was worth, wishing, hoping he could somehow feel how much he meant to me through it. How his simple acceptance meant the world to me.’ August, sweet and chaotic tattoo artist, feels as though everyone he becomes close to leaves him. When his ex -girlfriend’s firefighter brother shows up to put out a fire, August fire begins to burn. A wonderful feel good romance that leaves readers giggling, angsty, burning up, and ahhhhhing over Katherine McIntyre’s book one in the Alchemy Ink series! My heart was on fire, Kat!
