Dear Wes, let’s skip pleasantries.I’m not going to med school a v*rgin.I want to learn everything, and I want you to teach me.I’ve looked at all the men in my life, made a list of pros and cons, found you the most suitable. Sure, a lot of that was your gorgeous blue eyes and your charming smile.The strong arms and the tattooed torso don’t hurt either.I swear, I don’t have a thing for bad boys. … don’t have a thing for bad boys. Just you.
There’s no way I’m ever sending this. I can’t believe I’m even writing it.
But, god, I really, really do want to study under you.
Is that too formal?
How am I supposed to phrase this?
Wes, please, teach me how to love.
I promise I’ll study hard.
I’m an excellent student.
And, well, I’m pretty sure I don’t need to spell out why this is win/win.

Well, it seemed that more than just the obvious was lost in this novel for both the main male and female characters. This loss of a different nature were very positive happenings for both of them. It showed growth and maturing of character. Ms . Kasweĺl does not mess around when she decides to tackle issues that her characters experience, albeit directly to themself or to someone they are close to. This reader always finds Ms Kaswel’s novels to be thought-provoking. It was a pleasure to watch the camaraderie of friends; in this case, friends who have become family to one another. Both the main male and female characters experienced familial issues. Here too it was interesting to observe the interchanges between family members. Through all these story lines runs the main development of a romantic relationship. The path to this relationship was most intriguing and refreshing in the down-to-earth style of communication the two main characters had. This was indeed very pleasurable reading and Ms. Kasweĺl again provided the reader with a fabulous read.
Highly recommended reading. Great entertainment value. Thank you Ms Kaswell … until next time …

I need a Wes in my life!! Can not wait for Griffin’s story!!!
I don’t even know what to say about this book. If you have read any or all the Inked Heart books you have read a bit out Wes before. Not too much but you get to know him a bit in Hunter and Emma’s book.
So when we get pulled right into his and Quinn’s unconventional love story you get hooked right from the start. We all know we will get their HEA but their road is definitely bumpy along the way.
They hunk they can keep their arrangement strictly sexual but we all know that never works.
They both have to learn to trust and that change don’t a bad thing. Quinn has to learn her voice and gain her confidence. And good thing Wes is the most confident person she knows.
I think the only thing I would change in this book is that sometimes I find they book rambled a bit. Maybe too much detail sometimes but other then that I loved this book.i love the Inked Heart books and can’t wait for Griffin story next and Chase’s after that. I’ll be sad when this series ends but hope we get more from them in the future.

An amazing well written romance. This interesting storyline had me engaged from begining to end told from a dual POV. The characters are well developed, interesting, and have off the charts sizzling chemistry with entertaining secondary characters. A wonderful story of trust, friendship and love that was serious, full of humor, and alot of steam.

Losing It Crystal Kaswell is the story of Quinn and Wes. Quinn is off to college but doesn’t want to go as a innocent women. So she goes forward to get Wes to be the one to help her overcome that issue. Wes has always liked Quinn and he thinks this is the time to act on it. So he wants her to give him a few weeks before she leaves to ‘teach’ her about sex.
Loved this couple! Really enjoy Ms. Kaswell’s books so I hope to read more in the future.
Hands down the most satisfying read I have experienced in awhile. I loved the pace, the slow burn. I loved the characters, Wes is the sweetest bad boy around and Quinn the coolest most unaware of her cool character. I loved how I felt like I was a witness to their blossoming love. I love how Quinn offered herself up to Wes but he didn’t take advantage, he cultivated her trust and love. The fact that they made each other better by bringing out the best in each other was sweet and nice. I loved how the angst level of this story was about self confidence and outside family issues not about each other. Not once did either really doubt what was happening between them. How Wes wanted Quinn to see herself and her life options they way he saw them and for anything more selfish then his desire to see her happy was so sweet. I just felt really good at the end of this one and so happy that I had decided to read this book. I can’t stress enough how worth it I find this book. Worth your time, money and emotional investment.

The storyline was great and the chemistry between Wes and Quinn was off the charts HOT which kept me glued to my kindle as I turned each and every page!
A great story with characters I really enjoyed. I liked how they grew and connected. Wes is dealing with family things and I loved seeing that struggle. Quinn is so sweet and fighting her own life decisions. The story flows, I always love visiting with everyone from Inked Hearts and can’t wait to visit everyone again.

Absolutely amazing and I loved it! It is an engaging page turner that is emotionally deep with a fantastic story-line that moves along at a brisk pace, is well written, well-developed, and consistent. It is drama-filled, funny, and witty, and exciting. The chemistry between the main characters is deep, strong and sizzling hot. The story ended beautifully, it could not have been better in my opinion.

Two characters who’s orbits cross occasionally suddenly collide in an earthshaking and blindingly wonderful explosion.
Wes is a deeply troubled soul, who cares deeply and recklessly, but feels the need to cover it all with a carefree candy coating.
Quinn is at a turning point in life; decisions need to be made, experiences had, strength found.
Wes & Quinn both need something in life to help them see how much they have, how much they can give, and how much they can still gain.
When friends become more and the complications start to unravel the ground pulls out from beneath them in a spectacularly wonderful way.
Crystal Kaswell does such an excellent job writing completely believable characters who live lives we can actually relate to at the same time. Once again she sucked me into her world with humor, angst, love, tragedy, and joy. I think that this may have been my favorite so far. However, I’m pretty sure I said the same about the last book in this series. I can’t wait for the next to see if she can continue to develop, improve, and master the tattooed world of Inked Hearts.
Quinn didn’t want to start med school a virgin so she asked a friend to pop her cherry. She has 4 weeks left in Cali before coming home to Chicago to follow in her family footsteps of becoming a doctor. The deal was for no strings, 4 weeks for Wes to show Quinn skills in the bedroom. Quinn has a bucket list too they check off during this time but what happens when she gets Wes to break down those walls? This story captures the guys from the previous books in the series and brings emotion on what is means to have someone you love addicted to alcohol.

Quinn Thorn wants to lose her virginity before she heads home to Chicago to attend medical school, and she only wants to lose it to her childhood friend, Wes Keating. Wes is a hot, playboy tattoo artist. Wes says yes to Quinn’s proposition but wants to make sure both are aware that it is a casual fling that ends in 4 weeks when Quinn leaves for Chicago. Wes finds himself wanting to spend more time with Quinn and helps her cross things off her bucket list. Will Quinn decide she really doesn’t want to go to medical school? Can Wes give his mother an ultimatum and walk away? Can Wes and Quinn confess their feelings for each other before Quinn moves away? I loved Losing It by Crystal Kaswell. Losing It is full of steam, humor, and a few serious situations. I would definitely recommend getting Losing It by Crystal Kaswell. I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest review.
Quinn is a firecracker waiting for a spark. She’s set her sights on Wes and could end up in over head. Losing It is a guilty pleasure worthy of the addiction. Kaswell showcases an alluring sense of humor with a naughty little twist. Losing It is irresistible fun.
When innocent Quinn asks her sexy, tattooed friend Wes to help her lose her virginity before med school, what’s a guy to do??? This is her summer to check things off her bucket list. They only have 4 weeks until Quinn leaves. These two have grown up knowing each other and it seems always had a thing for each other. Their chemistry was hot. Once the decision is made their road to love slowly grows. This is one sweet, sexy read that I loved!!!
Once again we have another hot couple from the inked heart series, you will love Quinn and Wes. Quinn and Wes have been friends since they were kids so when Quinn decides she wants to lose her virginity before going off to med school who does she pick? You got it Wes, and he is more than willing to help out his friend, but will his feelings for Quinn develop into more after they sleep together?
Thanks again Crystal for another great book, you just seem to get better and better.

Quinn has a question for Wes. Will he say yes? Help her with her little issue before she heads off to med school?
I’ve been loving the Inked Hearts series, and this fits in well with it. Quinn is adorable – a little insecure (a lot), inexperienced, but a sweetheart. And Wes was a surprise – an absolute doll without the jerk tendencies some of the guys in this series have exhibited. Unbeknownst to Quinn, Wes had been attracted to her for years, so her little question was absolutely the right question to ask him. He made the experience better than she honestly could have hoped for in a million years. And that sweet, sweet epilogue. I can’t wait for more of this series, because it just keeps entertaining and giving the reader sexy, sweet couples.
4,5* Fantastic read, great plot and lovable characters
It was very easy, heartwarming read. Words were just flowing before my eyes and with every sentence I fell more and more in love with all the characters in the book. This is my first book of the series but for sure will read them all. Need to know more about other characters and I really hope there will be story about Griffin and Juliette. Quinn and Wes were so funny together, their easy banter and exploring each other feelings and getting to know them was a pleasure. I really spend fantastic time with them. I loved the way author exposed their inner thoughts. It gave more insight to what they were feeling, thinking. Even if from the blurb I had an impression that the plot would be silly it wasn’t that at all. It gave me feels, it was deeper and really I could feel what characters were going through. Great delivery and fantastic writing.
Quinn and Wess- a beautifully awkward combination of heat-seeking sparks, and guarded hearts- Their four-week adventure of scratching off Quinn’s bucket list and Wess’s messed up family life bring them closer to something neither thought was on their radar…
Delectability naughty, humorous, with a soul search here and there, this heat and heart fueled journey claimed my attention from the very first page and still has not let go!
Ticks off everything I look for in the romances I read.
I highly recommend checking out Wess and Quinn’s sexy, zany and sweet story for yourself!
