The moment I saw her walk through the door of Forbidden Ink, I knew she was the one. With her wide hips, thick thighs, and perfect breasts, she’s every man’s wet dream. Add to that her dark, soulful eyes, pouty lips, and a body covered in gorgeous art, and I knew I needed to make her mine. She’s a walking contradiction of sass and strength and determination, hidden by insecurity and self-doubt. … insecurity and self-doubt. She’s everything I could ever want or need, but she doesn’t see what I see.
I want to take away her pain. To be the one to make her laugh, to make all her dreams come true. I need to prove to her that I’m not him, that no matter what, I’ll be right there beside her. Loving her.
If only she could see herself through my eyes, she would understand we were made for each other.

I absolutely devoured this book, hated to put this down, to head off to work! The self-esteem issues that Quinn has are sadly way too common. The wonderful sexy Lachlan is older but so sweet. This book will have you feeling many different emotions as you take this journey of their romance. You just can’t help but root for these two, even though there are spots where they make you angry.
Nikki Ash has done it once again with her words my heart was all over the place while reading this amazing story . Quinn is awesome she is one of the reasons my heart was all over the place what this girl with through with such a D bag as a husband just wow , she shows such strength through out the story love how she is with the ones she loves and just how sassy she could be at times .

Lachlan was everything!!! Quinn had her ups and downs but after reading more into her insecurities I liked her more. I thought at first she was just being nasty to Lachlan but her ex Rick did a number on her that was truly heartbreaking. Her daughter Kingsley was a good mixture into the story. Lachlan won her over and they formed the cutest bond. The things she said were funny. Quinn’s brothers still showed that they would do anything for their sister and Lachlan proved to her that age is nothing but a number. It didn’t matter that we was 12 years younger than her all he saw was a beautiful woman. And when it came time to defend his girls, he was so alpha and swoony. The epilogues made you want more of this family.
Darling, once in a while I’m in dire need of a true feel-good novel and Through His Eyes was everything I needed.
This is the first book I’ve read by the author Nikki Ash and I promise you it won’t be my last.
She gave me a story to fall in love with. A story to relate to in some ways and characters I just adored.
An Age gap, a single mom and a gorgeous tattooed man is what you’ll get when you dive into Through His Eyes!
Nikki Ash gave me a storyline to fall in love with completely. It’s about moving on from a past relationship and opening your heart to new ones. It’s about accepting that you as a person are enough. That insecurities shouldn’t stop you from moving on and diving into life. And of course lots and lots of family love.
The characters in this book were wonderful, kind-hearted and people you wish all the luck too. Quinn, the female lead left a toxic relationship. One that left her with too many insecurities and traumas she carried with her for a very long time. But the one thing that was a true gift from that relationship is her daughter, Kingsley. These two stole my heart. Well developed, realistic and easy to love. But it only got better when Lachlan entered the book.
This young tattoo artist was a man every woman could dream off. He was kind, smart, talented and a pure gift to the female lead. When he saw Quinn for the first time, he fell head over heels for that woman. And thus started his journey to capture Quinn’s heart as well as her insecurities.
These two made one hell of a match. One that was mature and filled with the right kind of passion. They fitted like pieces of a puzzle and it’s wonderful to read. I ship them, I bet you will too. They found a home with each other. A home where they could fully breathe and be the person they are meant to be.
It’s also beautiful to see how Quinn started to love herself once again and sometimes all we need is someone to point out all the gorgeous stuff about a human. So thank you, Nikki Ash, for portraying it so beautifully. Another bonus to this story is the relationship between Lachlan and Quinn’s daughter. How he cared for the young child and started to love her as his own.
Nikki Ash’s writing is good. She gives us all the emotions from love to pain. The story is fast-paced and reads easily as well as well-developed. I fell in love with her words and I can’t wait for more.
The only thing that stopped me from giving this story five stars is that sometimes I wanted more. I wished that the story was a bit longer. Sometimes it felt rushed. But still, this story is wonderful and meant to be read by you.
If you’re looking for a book that just burst with love than Through His Eyes by Nikki Ash is the story for you! Enjoy an amazing storyline, well-developed characters, and good writing. So, what are you waiting for?
Gah!! I fell in love with Quinn and Lachlan from the very beginning of this story. I read the entire book from start to finish in one sitting. I have loved all of the books in this series but I believe that this one is my favorite! Lachlan was so sexy and Swoony! Quinn was such a strong and independent woman and Lachlan was just the man that she needed to help her get over the he** that her ex out her through! Another great book by Nikki that I would highly recommend to anyone!!
I felt every emotion that Quinn felt when her husband would call her names and tell her she was fat. My emotions were all over the place. I loved the characters and I loved the book.
Quinn was in a loveless marriage. Her husband would verbally abuse her. Quinn didn’t know how to leave him. They had been trying for years to have a baby and her husband blamed it all on her. One day the unthinkable happened. Years later with a young child in tow, Quinn walks into a tattoo shop that her brothers own. Lachlan took a real liking to Quinn and wants to get to know her better. But Quinn is not looking for another realationship, especially with a man who is 12 years younger than herself. Lachlan is persistent. Will Quinn let Lachlan into her life? Can Quinn really see that not all men are like her husband?
This is my first book by Nikki Ash and I absolutely loved it. This book pulls you in and takes you along on a well written ride. I highly recommend this book.
Through His Eyes was another great read by Nikki Ash. I loved it!! I loved loved Lachlan, he was just swoony and the perfect man. I loved Quinn, she was sweet, sassy and strong. Lachlan and Quinn had amazing and scorching chemistry. They were perfect together. Kinsley was so adorable!
***5 Stars***
Talk about the FEELS.
All. Of. Them.
The laughter, the tears, the frustration and the swoons were all kinds of real in this baby and I’m really wishing that there were more words to read because I NEED more of Quinn, Lachlan, Kinsley and their crazy wonderful friends!
I adored Quinn. While I may not have experienced what she has, I connected with her. I empathized with each and every vulnerability she had and rooted for her to find a way to work past it all because she is this vivacious, sweet and strong woman who deserves the world. Lachlan ~ Serious SWOONS! This man is just everything. He’s sweet, sensitive, charming and stubborn. Dear lord, is he stubborn, but in the best of ways, and had me at melting practically from the start.
Their journey to their HEA is a bumpy one considering all the roadblocks in their way, but I loved every moment of it. I loved watching as they got closer and Quinn allowed Lachlan in and showed him not only the strong woman she was, but the vulnerable one as well and by doing that started to truly take back her life and see how amazing she truly is. And Lachlan, he was a rock. He was right by her side to be whatever she needed him to be. And then there is Kinsley, that little girl is a spitfire and brought so much goodness to their story, it’s crazy.
This baby just hit all the right buttons and I simply devoured every word. There are some situations that come up that could be triggers for some, so beware. And though you can read this a stand-alone, I highly recommend that you read the Imperfect Love series first. This is set in the same world and you will be around quite a few of the characters throughout the story and truly give you the full meal deal when it comes to all that Quinn and Lachlan go through. And as much as I loved the epilogues, I am crossing my toes that this isn’t the last time we’ll see these characters.

Through His Eyes is a single mom/age gap romance. It is a beautiful story with a powerful and inspiring message. Lachlan and Quinn’s love story isn’t easy. Nothing good comes easy but Lachlan is up for the challenge. Besides, age is just a number right? That’s what my great-grandmother used to tell me.
Lachlan is a sexy 28 year old, sexy tattoo artist who knows what he wants. He doesn’t let things stand in his way when he wants something or someone. To say that he is determined and relentless is an understatement. lol. I loved Lachlan. He was wise beyond his years and had such a loving, giving heart. It didn’t hurt that he was swoony, caring, and hot too!
Quinn is a thirty-nine year old photographer with a sweet but sassy five year old named Kinsley. Kinsley was adorable! She went through some bad experiences that beat her down and made her doubt her self worth, but don’t count her out.
This book was so relatable, raw, and real. It was an awesome love story with a HEA. Nikki Ash did a beautiful job of writing this story. She made my heart ache and I felt the emotions dripping off the pages. It was heartbreaking, funny, steamy, angsty, and had me holding my breath at times. The characters were wonderful & I fell in love with them. I especially loved the epilogue. I recommend reading it! I can’t wait to see what comes next from this author!
***ARC generously provided in exchange for an honest review.***
Through His Eyes touched me on a whole different level. This story sends a powerful and inspiring message and the raw emotions are amazing. Quinn and Lachlan have a story that is not only sweet and sexy but is guaranteed to steal your heart completely. Lachlan and Quinn are two very special characters and I fell so in love with them for different yet for the same reasons.
This story was a combination of a lot of different topics. It was truly an amazingly written story. The storyline sucked me in and made me feel so much for these great characters. An heartfelt and heartbreaking story of healing and finding ones true worth. It was addicting and captivating. I had goosebumps while reading it.
There is so much to this story. It was raw, it was beautiful, it was sweet, funny, but held so much emotion. I’m in awe of this author and her amazing way with words, making us feel every emotions through her writing. Through His Eyes is outstanding, all-consuming, sexy, and an emotional read that I absolutely loved! This book is a must read.
When author Nikki Ash releases a book, I already know I’m going to #oneclick. Not because I’ve read all her books and they were amazing. But because the books of hers that I have read, I’ve enjoyed so much. And I read nine thus far, and hope to back-read anything I missed one day soon. The life of a blogger makes it hard to just read anything I want, anytime I want. Not complaining, just stating a fact. There is just not enough time in a day to read all we would like.
Through His Eyes was such a compelling book. The premise was real and believable. Quinn had been through so much with her previous marriage to a complete jerk. When is it okay for any man to make a woman feel less than beautiful and appreciated? To make a woman feel like she is never enough? Well the answer to that is never. But unfortunately when verbal bullying is all you know, it’s hard not to believe it.
This book is about healing. It’s about finding a way to love yourself once again; being confident and and able to trust in a man’s love once again. I appreciated how the author took her time with Quinn and Lachlan’s relationship. It was not rushed because otherwise it would not have been believable. That said, I also want to mention that this is an older woman/younger man romance. One of the issues Quinn has, on top of her already self-doubting, is that she thinks she is too old for Lachlan. Nikki Ash wrote Lachlan’s character to be mature for his age but still maintain his youthfulness. Again, another aspect that makes this book believable.
I won’t tell you much more so you can experience their journey on your own. However, I will tell you that Karma does make appearance when necessary. 😉 And that was another reason why this book was endearing to me. I highly recommend this book. If you haven’t yet read the previous interconnected books in this series, no worries. Through his Eyes is a stand-alone novel. Though, if you have the time I suggest you read the others as well. This will make your reading enjoyment even greater.
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. 🙂
THIS.BOOK! Definitely 5+ star worthy and one of my top favorite reads of 2019. Nikki Ash has truly outdone herself with Quinn and Lachlan’s story. I couldn’t get enough of these characters and this story just had me in pieces with all the feels and a personally very relatable plot and powerful and empowering message. This will be one of my most recommended books and one no one should miss out on. I truly devoured this book in one sitting. Amazingly written in dual POV and it’s own HEA, Nikki hit her mark with another addictive unputdownable book.
The love you didn’t know you needed.
When Quinn was left widowed and pregnant by a man who emotionally abused her, she still believed his “labels” as her “truth until one encounter with a man named Lachlan would change her life. Lachlan knew immediately when he met Quinn that she was the woman for him and damn if he wasn’t set to right all of her insecurities. Lachlan knew when to push and when to retreat until together they both completed one another.
I loved how patient Lachlan was with Quinn. He respected her boundaries as it pertained to Quinn’s daughter, Kinsley. The bond that Lach and Kinsley, irrespective of Quinn, was really sweet to watch unfold.
If you have never read a Nikki Ash book before well you’re missing out! I had never till Through His Eyes and I feel like I need to binge read her other books.
Quinn has such a realness to her that I can relate to and makes me want to hug her! Her situation from the get go is one I am sure many women have been in and although I myself didn’t experience all of what she went through I can feel a connection with her character.
Lachlan is younger but is exactly what Quinn needs in her life. He has patience, humor, gentleness and love for her and Kinsley. He is not afraid to show her all the emotions he feels and even better his actions show her.
You will laugh, cry and root for this couple all the way through. You may also experience wanting to punch a few characters in the face. I did anyway.
Happy reading!
This book was one of my favorite single parent romance books EVER. The realistic story line, amazing characters, and the rollercoaster of emotions kept me turning page after page. I couldn’t put it down. This is a great read!!
This is was amazing book. This is how so many woman think men think about the way we look. We think if we think we’re heavy or not attractive that that’s how they see us, then a man like Loch comes around and just surprises the hell out of you you!!!! But it still takes time for our minds to heal from how we have protected it all that time. This book hit home for me and I couldn’t put it down. It’s a must read and a feel good book with so damn good sexiness in it!!
Omg I absolutely loved this book I could relate to Quinn on so many different levels I thank Nikki Ash from the bottom of my heart for writing such a beautiful story I think this is one of her best so far !
So many emotions so heartbreaking but heart lifting at the same time amazing….
So definitely a must read definitely a book u don’t want to miss out on ….
I’m a little sad that this series is over but it was finished in this amazing book so I will recover lol
Oh my god! This was one of the sweetest, sexiest most romantic 6 star story of 2019. I basically devoured it.
Quinn has been through a lot. She is a shell of the women she used to be. She doesn’t see herself as Lachlan sees her. One look at her and he wants to make her his.
This story was a combination of a lot of different topics which I will not divulge. I don’t want to spoil this amazingly written story. The storyline sucked me in and made me feel so much for these great characters. An heartfelt and heartbreaking story of healing and finding oneself.
I devoured this story in no time. Too bad I had to work because it would’ve been read in one sitting, it’s that amazing. It was addicting and captivating. I had goosebumps while reading it. Bottomline is this is a must read story.
Standalone told in a dual POV with an HEA. I strongly recommend this story. All of this authors previous stories are all worth the readers precious time and money.
Must-read and top favorite of 2019!
I swear everything that this author writes is gold! This book was… the word to do justice hasn’t been invented yet. We’ll leave it at that. Just know that you won’t want to miss this one. I wholeheartedly LOVED it. I will forever treasure it and will be rereading it soon.
I kept tearing up, I swooned sooo hard for Lachlan and my heart broke several times with Quinn. Don’t get me started on Kingsley- I loved that little girl. Revising others of Nikki’s main characters and the epilogue were some of my favorite parts. Basically the whole book was perfect. Don’t question me- just read it! As for me, I will be patiently (not really) waiting for Nikki’s next release!
Sometimes the most beautiful stories are born from pain. Quinn knew that her marriage was a huge mistake but it was too late to leave. When fate steps in and she can escape that hell, she runs back to her family to repair the damage that her husband caused. Five years later and she has a successful business along with a five year old daughter. Life has moved on but in a lot of ways Quinn is still dealing with the effects of her terrible husband. When the handsome Lachlan asks her out, she shoots him down. He is too handsome and younger than her, there is no way that it would work out, so why bother? Lachlan knows that Quinn is special and he will stop at nothing to make sure she knows it. But that pain runs deep and Quinn will have to decide if she is going to live in the past or move on to the beautiful life she was meant to have? This book was simply phenomenal! It was so easy to step into Quinn’s shoes and feel all the emotions that run riot through her. She is a hot mess, like most of us are, no matter how much we hide it and her self esteem is still trying to revive itself. Having a hot, sweet, thoughtful, caring guy like Lachlan ask you out would crank my insecurities through the roof. He knows it won’t be easy to convince her but he knows she is worth it. I don’t want to say more because it just needs to be experienced. I was blown away by Through His Eyes and everyone needs to read it! 10 stars for Lachlan and Quinn!
