Cam lost her fiance to cancer. When she decides to get a tatoo to honor him, she had no idea she would find someone to help her move on. Ethan, a former hockey player, is now a fantastic tatoo artist and willing to help Cam heal.
I love the descriptive and smooth writing style of Samantha in this HEA! I love the characters and learning their backstories as well as watching them move on. The supportive characters are great in this book, too!
Cam had the love of a lifetime, and lost it to tragedy. She has moved to make a fresh start, to hopefully also move on with her life. Part of moving on is a new tattoo! At the tattoo shop, she meets Ethan, a former pro-hockey player turned tattoo artist.
Cam is so sweet, so brave, so strong, to come out still in one piece after the hand she has been dealt. Her amazing life outlook is inspiring. Ethan is exactly what she needs. He is absolutely amazing! Sincere, understanding, supportive. Totally swoon worthy!
This is a story about getting a second chance at life and embracing love when it finds you when you least expect it. A beautiful story, with a healthy dose of hotness!
This was a perfect, quick read that gave me all the ‘feels’. Even though seeming like a simple read, I enjoyed the quick connection of Cam and Ethan. Each one has their own past baggage of hurt, but they don’t let it come between them. Loved it, and would recommend it to anyone.
What a lovely novella by Samantha! I have been following her since her debut novel and her writing just gets better and better as she continues!
This story of Cam and Ethan is heartwarming, fast and smexy! I didn’t want it to end!
I loved the fresh start that Cam was engaged in, I was heartbroken when I read her back story and really applaud that Samantha wrote that there was nothing but love and no hard feelings when Cam decided a fresh start was in order! (I don’t want to spoil the story, but once you read it, you will know what I mean!)
Ethan was just what Cam needed and his understanding and support was beautiful!
I only wish this story was longer! I could have kept reading about these two for longer!
Thank you for your words Samantha, I can see you really gaining confidence and coming into your own in the writing world!

He has never been interested in a relationship in the past but one touch and he knew that his life was about to change.
This is a quick, sexy, sweet story of finding a chance for love, second chance in Cam’s case, when you least expect it. Of not being afraid to reach out and grab at happiness when it’s in front of you.
