DNF.......very unusual for me. I just couldn't take another minute of the total "bitch" MC! Pike and Gigi meet in Daytona Florida during spring break. She lets her friend make her angry calling her a "prude" so she picks up a guy to leave with. Apparently, she does not watch the news or true crime shows. It turns out fine and they spend the week together. On the last day, she goes out for coffee, then never returns. (Bitch)
Fast forward......she is done with college. Her family owns one of the best tattoo shops in the country. She is starting work there along with another new guy. She arrives at work to find Pike is the new guy. She immediately accuses him of "stalking" her! Now, he knew her name is Gigi (nickname) and she is from Miami.....that is ALL he knew about her. She was so OTT mean/ridiculous about all of it. She got angry the minute she saw him. He was a tattoo artist when she met him in Daytona. Even when she finally admitted to herself he wasn't stalking/looking for her she wouldn't just man up and apologize. I couldn't see her ever deserving ANY guy.....let alone Pike. I gave up.........

Joey/City’s (book THROTTLE ME) daughter Gigi has all grown up she’s aiming to take her place in the family business. Tattooing is all she’s ever known, and she’s excited to start the next chapter in her life. But she didn’t expect to run into past.....
Pike can’t believe his eyes, after spending a passionate week with this woman, she just disappears on him, the last place he thought he’d see her was at his new job. And wouldn’t you know it, she’s the bosses daughter!!! Out of his league and if he wants to keep his job, then she needs to stay that way.....
But the chemistry that drew them together, is still at work, they can’t keep their eyes or minds off of each other. It’s only a matter of time.....
But time maybe running out. Pike’s past has caught up with him, and caught up Gigi too, he never wanted to hurt her, but things don’t always work out that way.
What the hell has Pike brought to town? It could get messy, and people could get hurt. Can Gigi forgive Pike? Or will she watch him ride out of town forever? And what will Pike think when he finds out her real “age”!!
This book is a spin off from her “The Men of Inked” you don’t need to read the precious series to enjoy this new series. But I might have to go and have a look at the old series.
I liked the chemistry between Gigi and Pike. I also liked the fact the series is a next generation series. Very descriptive, really well written.
I have several tattoos so I know how the process works, so it was a nice read.
