*~~*ARC kindly provided by the author to me in exchange for an honest review *~~* 
 With Pounding Skin L.A. Witt wrote her second book in the Skin Deep Inc. series and this time it's about Matt, Colin's colleague in the tattooshop and Jon, a fighter pilot. 
 I really let out a scream of joy when I read about the fact that a tattoo artist and fighter pilot getting their love story because, holy moly, what's hotter than this combination? :D 
 The way both Matt and Jon met is pretty unconventional and Jon's reasons to get a tattoo - loosing a football bet with his military friends - isn't a thing which pleases Matt right from the start. But like Colin and Daniel (from Back Piece) had a connection right from the start, this is happening here too. 
 I really loved with what expertise L.A. Witt is writing about military stuff. She really do her research and I am really fond of the way she creates a setting around the character you truly believe. The character feel sometimes so real it's hard to say they are not. :D 
 The way how Matt and Jon connect to each other and how they reveal their feelings is sweet, powerful and full of emotion. Matt and Jon made the compromise only to have sex, keep it totally on the platonic, friends with benefits way. But soon, Matt isn't satisfied yet. The deep feelings set it. 
 It is heartclenching how emotional both guys get and you really suffer with them. You also understand both ways of thinking and you have until the last page your hopes - and you are - I assure you - satisfied at the end. :3 
 The erotic scenes, the sex between the guys was hot, really smoking and sensual. Emotions are there but they are surpressed first. 
 5 out of 5 stars for this. Jon sometimes annoyed me a bit, Matt had my whole heart. I can't wait to read the next book, because next to the major story between Matt and Jon there was the side story of his friend Nate. ;) The small glimpse at the end of the book was already really promising. :3
