Under My Skin Summary:

Under usual circumstances, Lucy Blake would happily fly home to visit her family. But when her brother unknowingly breaks the news of their parents’ abrupt divorce, she’s determined to learn why they called it quits and didn’t bother telling her.

After the loss of his dad, Everett Meyers dedicated everything to his tattoo studio. He sacrificed his time, money, and even his relationships for the sake of keeping busy, but the stress of running the shop still isn’t enough to keep his grief at bay.

When his best friend’s younger sister comes into town seeking a spontaneous tattoo, he knows something isn’t right. It may have been a few years since he’s seen her, but Lucy doesn’t even like tattoos.

He’s emotionally unavailable. She’s feeling reckless. The combination might be a bad idea, but what was once casual familiarity shifts to inescapable interest. Will the result be catastrophic, or will they find themselves leaning on one another when they least expect?

Under My Skin is a heartfelt brother’s best friend romance full of swoony moments to take you on a journey of hope and healing.

My Review:

To begin with, I’d like to thank Netgalley for supplying and ARC of this book to me. I greatly appreciate it! Netgalley is a platform where you can request ebook and audiobook ARCs, and it is completely free to use! I highly recommend trying it out!

I just have to say wow. I loved this book! This was my first time reading the trope ‘brother’s best friend’ and I couldn’t get enough!

a sweet, cozy romance

The author did so well with keeping the story sweet, cozy, and lighthearted while also touching on and dealing with the heavy topic of grief and loss. This book made you feel without leaving you down.

We got a wonderful slow burn and a dual pov, which gave us a wonderful front row seat to this man’s yearning and it was amazing! We got some spice but it didn’t overwhelm the scene and overall didn’t overwhelm the book.

In conclusion:

If you are looking for a small town, fall, cozy romance read then I could not recommend this more!
