My Review:
Chrome series ‘Opening Up’. Since I really enjoyed that book, I was super
excited when I received ‘Falling Under’, the second book in the Ink &
Chrome series.

knows how to have fun. Ever since Duke first laid eyes on his red-headed neighbor

neighbor Duke for almost three years. But his appearance screams trouble, and
trouble is the last thing Carmella needs. When Duke offers Carmella a job in
his shop, she can’t decline, and she promises herself to keep their
relationship strictly business. But is Duke really so much trouble and can
Carmella keep her distance?
the way these characters are not your average characters. All characters have a
little attitude, have some awesome tattoo’s, like fast cars and motorcycles and
they all work hard for a living. I just love these characters. This second book
in the series is the story of Duke, which we already got a little taste of in ‘Opening
Up’. Duke seems to be this bad guy on the outside, but really is a great guy
who really cares for his neighbor Carmella.
kind and honest men in her life. Duke and Carmella immediately hit it off, and
I was rooting for them from the beginning.
thing that bothered me a little about this book, was the way Duke and Carmella
hit it of pretty in the beginning of this book, and from that moment there wasn’t
a lot happening. There were some very hot scenes, and there relationship grew,
but mainly they were fighting, making up, getting to know each other and
fighting again. It was fun to read, but a little predictable and there just wasn’t
a lot happening.
did like it and would still recommend this book and this series, but a little
more action would have been nice.
to read the third book in this series.
