They say your childhood paves the way to adulthood, and maybe it does. I know mine was lit up in flames. I walked the roads of Hell until I figured out that the only way to survive was to exist under a cloak of darkness—to deal with the devil himself. It was the only way to escape the pain, the torment. But the nightmares are still very real. They’ll never leave me alone. The shadows of solitude … solitude follow me wherever I go.
Weapons—they can be anything I need them to be. Unlike people in my life, they are predictable, dependable. Without any effort they can cause so much destruction, but also so much peace. Through the internal chaos, the anger that won’t cease, and the constant noise, everything is silenced with the pull of the trigger.
Ink—I’ve loved it since I can remember. It defines me. It’s my release. When I feel like I’m about to blow I turn to the needle. It is the one high I need. I brand people. It’s what I do. Kross Brannon is the best there is when it comes to tattoos. The success of my company proves it.
But I never teach. Those that work for me learn from someone else. I’m a solo artist. Always have been and always will be…but then I looked up and saw her, standing in my shop, beautiful, tattooed, and her soul screaming for me to reach out. She was a force of nature I couldn’t turn away.
That’s the moment everything started falling into place…

This is her best book yet!! I can’t tell you how much I heart Kross Brannon. He may be the ultimate Book boyfriend for me—if he doesn’t destroy my heart first.
Love and War is so good. Marked has been my favorite of Charisse’s until now. I knew several years ago, when she first started this book he was going to win my heart. And she did not disappoint.
I NEED part 2 with a drug addict needs their next fix. This book is crack. And I’m dying to know how Kross and Delta get to the end. I already know most—I got the inside on that shit—but I need to read it. I need to feel it.
Omg! What a totally awesome read! I loved the story from cover to cover and I could not put it down.The story had a amazing cast of characters both good and bad and we loved them all.
The story was filled with so much emotion one minute you were laughing your butt off the next you felt like crying.The story kept me on edge the entire time and I felt like Kross almost gave me whiplash as his moods changed so rapidly as one minute he was all dark dangerous and scary as hell the next trying to be super sweet or as reasonable as Kross can be. Omg!I just loved his character and I have to say he even scared the hell out of me.
Delta was a favorite character of mine as I found her to be sweet,kind,caring,mouthy,had a wicked sense of humor,sexy,bold,strong but, not so strong as not to have her own insecurities.Delta was broken yet determined.
I have to say that I loved her friendship with Lux they were perfect for one another and when they were together they were a hoot!
Kross and Delta were and explosive couple in and out of bed and perfect for one another.The two of them together were hot ! hot! and hotter!This duo took us on one heck of a ride!Holy friggen fanning !
I loved Kross as broken as he was and you felt the pain this man suffered and understood how all these tragic events in his life shaped him into the man he was today.We saw two sides of Kross the very very dark and dangerous killer but. underneath it all was capable of so much love.I loved his struggles and how he adapted to change as sometimes it had a positive effect sometimes a negative one but, he eventually worked through them in his own Kross way. Kross was very dark but, loving someone and caring for them changed him for the better . I loved how he let Delta see both sides of him the good along with the bad yet still loving him with knowing some of his deepest darkest secrets she stayed and loved him with all his faults.Delta suffered her own demons and even though they were not as dark as his she understood the man because of her own past being so jaded it made them just perfect for each other.
We loved the tale as well as the setting and all the characters as they added tons of humor to a book that was very intense and very dark we loved the balance of it all.This is the type of story that had you totally engrossed from the very first pages and I hated to see it end.I have to say once book ended I started right on the next one and the remainder of the story did not disappoint.
I love when you can connect with the characters that you read about and I was able to do that as the characters were intriguing to read about as they were definitely a eclectic group of individuals working that tattoo parlor.I have to say their antics had me laughing more than once.So looking forward to reading more of this series as we would love to see more of Delta and Kross as well as the other characters that we have gotten to know.
