Tattooed Scars (Tattooed Billionaire Series #2) by Alicia Rae *~*~*~*~*~* Read-A-Long, Giveaway & Review

ts-day3

We're so thrilled to be participating in the third day of the read-a-long of TATTOOED SCARS!

What happened in chapters 10 - 14?

The oncologist in New York offers Raelyn a different option than the others - surgery. All of the other doctors, however, told her surgery was entirely too risky with the location of the tumor. Her initial reaction is absolutely not, but she tells Dr. Coleman and Damien she’ll think about it - but she’s not ready to talk about it yet.
When Raelyn returns home, she meets with the client, Annabelle Faye, who has a last minute issue. Damien comes storming in during their meeting, enraged about Annabelle’s presence. It turns out Annabelle Faye and Damien have an unexpected connection and he demands Raelyn leave with him right away.
Damien wants to get away with Raelyn, so he takes her on a surprise trip and won’t tell her where they’re going. She has a fever when they get on the plane and she ends up passing out for the entire trip. When she wakes up, they’re about to land - in Hawaii.

Favourite Quotes:

“So, are you going to let me in on the joke? Or should I pull over and ravish you on the hood of my car until you tell me?”
“Never thank me for wanting to look out for you, Raelyn.” His eyes met mine. His expression was soft and genuine. “I will always take care of you.”
“No matter what life brings us, you rekindled my heart.”

Discussion Questions:

  • Did you expect Annabelle to turn out to be who she is?
  • If a man were going to take you on a surprise trip, where would you want him to take you?

Tattooed Scars (Tattooed Billionaire Series #2) by Alicia Rae
Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5

Some scars run deep...

Raelyn and Damien are back right where they left off in Tattooed Emotions! And while I hoped and hoped Raelyn was nauseous because she was pregnant, my hopes were dashed. Join the two lovebirds on a trip looking for a cure and love. While both try to protect the other from the truth to avoid hurting the one they love the most will they succeed in the protection they seek or just push the other away? And now a bit about the story...

Why would anyone ever leave the bed of a sexy, domineering billionaire? I'm not sure, but Raelyn does because her work ethic drives her to the office. But then the dizziness and nausea set in and even a few black outs. When Damien discovers she is sick again he takes her on a whirlwind trip looking for a cure. Between fighting off new clients, potential partners, and her sexy boyfriend... Raelyn just wants to freeze time in hopes of staying forever with him!

Favorite passages:
- “The only person you have to live your life for is yourself, Raelyn.”
- It seemed like the first jump was always the hardest, no matter what it was in life.

Tattooed Emotions (Tattooed Billionaire Series #1) by Alicia Rae *~*~*~*~*~* Read-A-Long, Giveaway & Review

te-day5

We’re so thrilled to be participating in the two-week read-a-long of Alicia Rae’s Tattooed series! Today we’ll be discussing chapters twenty through twenty-three of the first book, Tattooed Emotions! If you haven’t read it up yet, make sure you pick up a copy and follow along with the read-a-long!

What happened in chapter twenty - chapter twenty-three?

Raelyn is accompanying Damien to a charity event, one that she finds out he started for abused children. Paparazzi outside the event bombard them with questions about if Damien’s involvement with the charity and if he’s been abused himself.
After Damien’s stepbrother appears at the event, Raelyn is finally able to get Damien to open up to her, at least a little bit. He’s willing to take off his shirt for her, let her see his scars and his tattoos fully, although he still won’t tell her more than the answers to a few questions.
Raelyn is getting sicker and she’s worried her cancer has returned.
Several unexpected visitors show up at Raelyn’s office. First she finds Cale and Damien in the conference room together, where Damien tells her that Cale has signed over the ownership of their firm to her and she now owns all of the the shares.
Then her ex-fiance Nick shows up, wanting to talk, but Raelyn tells him to leave. When Damien finds out he’s saying he’s her fiance, they get into a fight, only to be interrupted by Raelyn getting sick.
She finally has to tell Damien about her cancer and her fear that it’s returned. She’s scared he’ll leave her like Nick did, but he is going to fight with her.

Favourite Quotes:

  • “I don’t need music, Raelyn. I just need you.”
  • “I’m right where I’m supposed to be, Damien, and nothing you or those heartless idiots outside say will change the way I feel.” “There is a great deal in my past that could make you have a change of heart, Raelyn,”
  • “I’ve given you my whole body, Damien, imperfections and all, without reservations, and now, I need you to give me yours.”
  • "I need you to understand that you might not get forever with me.

Discussion Questions:

  • What do you think made Nick change his mind about being with Raelyn?
  • Are you concerned about Zoey?
  • How freaking badly do you NEED to read TATTOOED SCARS right away?

Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5

Heartwarming and Hot... couldn't put it down!

Wonderful new series from Alicia Rae staring Raelyn Jennings , a wonderful lady with a huge heart, and Damien Heathman, a sexy billionaire who's overcome his past. The rollercoaster of emotions in this story seem to follow the path of Damien's tribal tattoos. And now a bit about the story...
She is recovering from a broken heart, but excited to find out her life threatening brain tumor is in remission and she can head back to work to focus on her career. He is ready to crush Adam and Jennings Accounting Services. That is until she walks into the conference room. His plan flies out the window as another one takes its place. Can Raelyn protect her heart? Will their past experiences come back to haunt them?
I can't wait to continue reading Raelyn and Damien's story!!
Favorite passages:
- The only way to be rid of it would be to let nature run its course and let faith guide us, hoping to still be standing in the end.
- God, where is your mustard or ketchup or ranch stain? I need something! He has to have at least one flaw visible to the eye! Damien cleared his throat and laughed. “Excuse me?” My entire body went rigid, practically seizing with fright. No. No. I couldn’t have possibly said that aloud.
- “So, you have a past. Everyone does.”
- “My world is no longer hollow with only darkness.”
