“The most powerful spark is the one that can reignite the fire that has long gone out.”
After losing his fiancé, Mitchell Taylor abandoned everything that reminded him of her and retreated home to Las Vegas, Nevada. Now his life consists of three things: drowning his pain in the bottom of a vodka bottle, tattooing bodies in the shop he co-owns with his best friend and pissing off their office manager, Shelby. Not only does she infuriate him by challenging everything he does, but fighting with her pushes back the ghosts that haunt him.
Taking control of her future at a young age, Shelby Winston never let anyone or anything get to her. Until now. Mitch is unpredictable. One minute he is drunk and making her want to pull her hair out, the next he is doing something crazy like saving her life.
While every argument between the two has everyone around them waiting for bloodshed, something else is bubbling beneath the surface. There’s no going back once you cross that line, and once the tension erupts into something else, it could change everything forever.
I have to say out of all the Artistic Pricks books so far
Solitude has been my favorite.
Mitch…. At times I wanted to squeeze him and there were
times I wanted to slap the heck out of him. He has been through some tough
times and a serious broken heart but he keeps on going. After the death of
Becky the love of his life while on their way to be married, he has been all
messed up and closed off. Even though he has been told to move on with his life
he just doesn’t seem to know how to let go and live again. Shelby is a spit fire and I just love her! She
is the tattoo shop’s manager and takes no bull from any of the guys, especially
Mitch, and the banter between the two of them puts a little light back into his
dreary world. To find out if things ever heat up between them or if they are
destined to be alone you are going to have to grab a copy of the book to find
out!
This book takes a few twists that I definitely didn’t expect
to happen and Cat definitely had me on the edge of my seat in anticipation at
times. The characters are well written and in essence both Mitch and Shelby are
broken in their own ways and their struggles are realistic. The steam factor is
definitely there as are some rather funny moments. I’m giving Solitude 4 stars
and it is happily sitting on my one click list.
