I never saw him coming.
I walked away from an abusive relationship, determined to create a new and better life. Swearing off guys seemed like an easy task until I started working at Life in Ink.
Adrian is the hot tattoo artist at the shop I work for. I’ve stared at him from afar for months. He’s grumpy and the most I get out of him are grunts when I ask questions, but that doesn’t deter me … that doesn’t deter me from finally working up my nerves to approach him outside of work hours.
I can’t deny the chemistry I feel between us, but a threat from my past could make everything tumble to the ground before it’s even started.

This was another great addition to the series I just loved Adrian and Sophie’s story and once I started reading it I did not want to put it down. The chemistry between these two was really strong but both have baggage from their pasts. I enjoyed getting to know these two more it was a super read and I really enjoyed it.
How can I count the reasons I loved this book. The fact that even though there’s an instant attraction between these two but they take time before they even investigate more. The fact the characters have the strength to be rid of their circumstances and not repeat the past. This is a great read and these two and their friends will reach out to you in some way or another they just can’t help it. Each story new and different from the last each with their story to tell. Whether it’s to escape a bad relationship or just not settling for what you can get, they have a story to tell. There are so many reasons I keep coming back to this author and love her characters. Her stories are not about the sex but the passion, strength, resolve and depth which makes for good reading. Loved it

Adrian and Sophia are both coming out of bad relationships. When they start working together they ignore their connection for a while. Once they explore it, it blossoms. His ex wanted him to change an hers was verbally abusive. Add in a funny ginger brother, a tattoo shop and a stalking ex and you get a fun read.
I enjoyed this story. Sophia should her inner strength when she got out of an abusive relationship and found her own independence. Adrian was gruff but a real sweetheart. Together, they found a way beyond their pasts. I loved their interactions with each other and their coworkers as well as Sophia’s brother. The secondary characters did make the story fun. I recommend this book.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
Sophia and Adrian have been dancing around each other and their attraction for the past few books. They were both hurt by their ex’s. His wanted him to be someone has was never going to be to please her parents. Sophia’s ex was controlling and abusive and she thinks now that her restraining order has expired he’s stalking her again. Her family including her little brother were a riot. It was great to catch up with the rest of the characters at Life in Ink.
This is a great addition to this addictive series, and is finally Adrian and Sophia’s story. These two have book been damaged by their pasts, and are not looking for any relationship, but they have undeniable chemistry between them. Will these two be able to move forward together when the past comes back to haunt them? No spoilers; this is a definite must read! This is a well written sweet and entertaining story which had me hooked throughout, and I look forward to reading more from this gifted author, whose work I recommend for all.
Oh holy sweet swoon! This book is adorable. Love Will Save Your Soul is one of those perfect escape reads. You know the ones with super swoony heroes, a sweet heroine with a loving family, and just a bit of drama to really pull you in? That’s what this book is. I read this so dang fast because I was entirely wrapped up in all things Sophia and Adrian.
Sophia is a sweetheart. After escaping an abusive ex she’s putting her life back together with the support of her family. I love that there wasn’t a rush with this, Sophia got herself back up on her own two feet before anything really progresses with Adrian. That’s not to say the sparks weren’t there the moment they met though. Adrian himself was getting over an awful ex too at the time and I truly adored that they had that time to move on before things got heated between them. That was so true to life it really made them more real. Once these two do get together though, hold onto your hearts because they are so darn sweet!
Love will save your soul was a good story it would be the second book that I’ve read by Katrina Marie and I’m excited to read more by her . This book really had no drama so if you are looking for a drama free book then this is one you need to get . The characters are equally likable they had alot of chemistry the only thing that drew me away a tad was the little bit of heat I wish there was more because those two could have really steamed up the story but that is just my preference overall this is a good book you don’t want to miss out on can’t wait to read more by the author and I hope this isn’t the last we see of the couple .

I have been waiting for Sophia and Adrian’s story. You could feel there was something between them in the previous stories and I just wanted more. This did not disappoint, though I am sad that this series is over.
Sophia is starting over after leaving an abusive relationship. She needed to start over and when she lands a job at Life in Ink she finally is starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. She isn’t looking for a relationship, she isn’t looking to date but Adrian just worms his way into her life slowly. Adrian is also recovering from the ending of a serious relationship but there is something about Sophia that is drawing him towards her.
I loved reading about their relationship, I loved watching it form and grow. Their chemistry is undeniable. Adrian is instantly protective over Sophia, even before he learns about her past relationship. I loved that about him.
This story had some drama, it was sweet, it was hot, and it had it’s funny moments. It can be read as a standalone, but it is so much more enjoyable when you read the entire Taking Chances series and get to know some of the other characters.
This was the perfect story to end the series on, but like I mentioned previously I am so sad it is over and to say goodbye to all these characters.
The book is a good romance read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry. The story is an enjoyable clean romance read.

A clean romance.
The book started really well and held my attention for well beyond the first third of this novel. Nearing the halfway mark, the story, had lost a bit of momentum as the two main characters, Sophia and Adrian, both of whom severely traumatised by their respective previous heartaches , skirt around their feelings and attraction for one another. They both swore off relationships for the foreseeable future as a result. The story is set in a tattoo parlour where they both work and I must say, I learned a bit about inking, I previously knew nothing about. The characters were very charismatic and likeable, and the story plausible. The heat and attraction between Sophia and Adrian was well described and implied but the whole story is handled as a very clean romance, so is suitable for those who don’t like their romance very ‘descriptive’. There is an undertone of danger implied throughout the book from Dawson, Sophia’s abusive ex-boyfriend. I feel that the story had lacked a certain punch that the underlying history could have given a good basis for. Nevertheless it is an easy read and merit a positive note and the book was quite carefully edited.
