Title: Jax
Author: J.L. Perry
Publisher: Hachette Australia
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 Release Date: November 27, 2016



Blurb

My name is Jaxson Albright. To my friends I’m known as Jax. I’m the disgraced son of well-known Politician, Malcom Albright. You could say I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I was supposed to follow in my father’s footsteps and move into politics. My whole childhood was spent being groomed for this role, but that wasn’t what I wanted. I had other plans.

 To my family’s disgust, I’m inked, I’m pierced and I own and run a tattoo parlour, in the hip suburb of Newtown. I fit in here. I can be the man I was destined to be, the man my family are ashamed of. The son they regret having.

 I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for my saviour, Candice. My pink-haired angel. We grew up in the same circle, but like me, she’s an outcast. She refused to conform to society’s ways. She’s the only one who stuck by me and not only encouraged, but supported my dream.

 I love her. No, correction—I’m in love with her. I have been for as long as I can remember. She has no idea how I feel. It’s a battle I struggle with daily. I’ve kept my secret all these years because I couldn’t risk losing her. That’s a chance I’m not prepared to take, because she’s my best friend; my only real family.

 I’ve spent the last few years moving from one hot chick to the next, trying to mask these feeling I have. But it doesn’t help—I can’t get her out of my head. She still owns my damn heart.

 How do you get over the girl you know you can never have? And how do you live without the one person on this earth who is made for you?

 She’s my soulmate.

BLOGS REVIEW


I will start off by saying you do not have to love tattooed men to enjoy this hot read cause you will feel the emotions no matter which way after reading this book. You will feel the happiness including the laughter moments, the betrayal, the hurting involved in friendship/family and the stubbornness between these two is real.
Jax's life was molded for him, whether he wanted this life or not. He doesn't want a life in politics and wants to open up a tattoo shop against his parents wishes. He is the outcast in his family since he wants to be his own person and not what other people expect him to be. Candy or his Candylicious as he calls her, is his BF and although he loves her (no not just friend love-he is in love with her) he won't take that next step and ruin the only true family he has since Candy is an outcast in their society as well.
Well a turn of events you could say may just change their friendship and the twists that occur over the years will have you on the edge of your seats waiting to find out the outcome. While you can guess where it leads, you don't know the full details so it keeps you in suspense until you finally get that gasping moment of shock.
So that I don't give away any spoilers, all I guess I can really say is that it may have taken years and I mean years for these two stubborn people to make their final move in the end it leaves your heart beating and not crushed as it does while reading this book. Family doesn't have to be your actual family and sometimes those you choose as your family are the better option in life. Just ask Jax and he would agree. As would Candy when you read how the turn of events play out for her side.
I so want to go back and read book one and the novella of his friend and partner, Carter. Those two (Jax and Carter) definitely felt like brothers and twins with the similar stories these two experienced. With this said, you do not have to read both books to understand the story as they are standalones about each character, but you will want to read the first book cause Carter is just as intriguing as Jax was even being a secondary character. Being rich is all its cracked up to be and I will take my middle class life any day if I had to endure what Jax and Candy does in the high society life.  I highly recommend you read this book when you have time to sit and read in one sitting cause you will not want to put it done to find out how this plays out. Wicked Ink is more than the name of Jax's tattoo shop it can be held as to how you feel reading this book with all the emotions you experience in one book.
