Romance author Nicky Love isn't looking for love. He's used to being mostly on his own. His wealthy parents dumped him on his gram's doorstep a week after his elder brother OD'ed on heroin and he hasn't seen to them in the intervening years. 
 He grew to be fast friends with Josh Stone, and is happily celebrating in Josh's upcoming wedding to a fellow author and good friend. Nicky's a little sad to lose his wing man, but that's nothing compared to seeing Josh so happy. Still, he doesn't miss the allure of Josh's new parts supplier--Cat Steele. She's all kinds of buttoned-up this skirt-chasing bachelor would love to undress. 
 Thing is, Cat's not interested. She makes every effort to dismiss Nick from her life. Their close connection through Josh does have some benefits. Nick is able to woo Cat's body, but not her heart. And, that's such a frustration that he actually tries to get into her tattooed skin. 
 There's a huge secret surrounding Cat's past, however, and her burly, protective brothers are always on hand to force Nick to turn away. Which, only sets his sights more fiercely on the woman whose cold exterior hides a burning Wildcat. 
 This is the second book in the series and I liked both of them. Nick has a many "come to Jesus" moments here and has to really overcome his own demons of abandonment in order to see past the problems in Cat's life. She's had her own tough road, if the remembrance sleeves permanently inked on her arms are any clue. The story has a got lotta heart, and a good lotta sex. I do love the close bond between Josh and Nick. They have a serious bromance happening, and the whole Stone Service family is a fun experience.
