Synopsis (Goodreads):
Mysterious. Anonymous. Genius.Thoughts on House of Payne: Tag: The House of Payne artists never disappoint. They're volatile. They're passionate. They love loud and hard. Yessssss. Even when I'm battling the plague, they're a treat.
No one knows the identity of the famous urban artist known only as Tag, and that’s just the way Tag likes it. He got his start in one of the most gang-ridden neighborhoods in Chicago by anonymously tagging his world with beautiful graffiti, and that anonymity kept him alive. Sure, Tag’s work is now so hot it’s being turned into tattoos at the greatest tattoo studio in the world, House of Payne, but he’s still not going to reveal himself. To anyone.
Volatile. Passionate. Brilliant.
Artist Ivy Gemelli is the last of her family. Mother—dead. Father—shot in his cab for fifty bucks. Uncle and brother—murdered in the family’s auto paint shop, which was then burned down to the ground. She’s the last one standing in a never-ending struggle to just freaking survive, and it’s made her tougher than nails. That’s why, when she sees her own art show up in Tag’s designs, she’s more than ready to go to war.
Hot. Powerful. Irresistible.
Tag wasn’t looking for a sexy complication like Ivy, but that’s exactly what he’s got. Her murdered brother’s long-ago lie brought them together, but now that Tag’s got Ivy in his sights, he’s not about to let her go. Ivy is all fire and fury, and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep this sex-on-stilettos woman with him, even if he has to keep her in the dark about his past.
***This standalone, hot contemporary romance contains a strong alpha male, mention of the sexual practice of edging, and a spank or two (or three). There are multiple, explicit sex scenes (you have been warned). No cheating, no love triangles, no cliffhangers. HEA guaranteed. This book is not intended for readers under the age of 18***
This time around, we have Tag and Ivy. He's the mysterious street artist who keeps his identity a secret. She's a firecracker who confronts things head-on. Together, they're combustible. Seriously. The two verbally go at it like it's going out of style at first and even that's hot. Then Tag sets his mind on convincing Ivy they need to be together and things get even hotter.
Did I mention the hot? *fans self*
As always, the characters have the type of past that left them damaged, but doesn't shatter them. Instead, they're made stronger by what they've had to go through. I kinda love that. A lot. Especially when they're Stacy Gail's characters.
Speaking of characters, I pretty much adore when new characters see characters we've met before (let's take Payne, for example) and they have an ENTIRELY different take on them then we saw. Maybe it's just me. I mean, Payne has a flare for theatrics and he's confident to the extreme and it TOTALLY cracked me up that Ivy saw him as a circus barker. I mean, yeah. It fits. It just strikes me as funny. First impressions, y'all. They rock.
The House of Payne crew get bigger and better with every book and I can't wait to see what's in store for them next.
