Trouble by J.M. Dabney
Model perfect Jimmy “Trouble” Carver had never heard the word no. Tattooed, sexy and the quintessential bad boy Trouble had men falling over themselves to get to him. What people didn’t know about him was he was self-conscious even if life was easy for him. He’d started out as an apprentice at Twirled World Ink after college and never looked back. Trouble was exactly where he wanted to be, although there was one speed bump, his crush refused to go out on a date.
Brody Vaughn worked in a dead-end job, barely making it from paycheck to paycheck. He didn’t have much time for anyone other than his five-year-old daughter Mina and besides he’d never quite found a place in this world he fit. Chunky and average, that’s how he felt, except for when Trouble came into the grocery store where he worked. The flirty, gorgeous man asked him out every week with a sexy smile, but Brody had to refuse. It wasn’t as if he wanted to say no, it was just how could he date a man Brody knew he had no business trying to keep.
The Crazies of Twirled World Ink excel at one thing, matchmaking, and they are determined their resident bad boy would get his man. They just had to make sure that neither Trouble or Brody screwed up their plan.

Second read through and I still loved it.
There were quite a few errors - grammatical or otherwise. Generally the whole book is in urgent need of some good editing (and it's the second edition, I'm afraid to think what the first would be like). The characters were interesting but we never got a deeper understanding of any of them and so quite a lot of the decisions made were a bit out of the blue or so it seemed to me. Also the plot is a bit overused - guy neglected and hated by his family thus turning in a tattooed hunk with a soft, depressed heart yada yada yada. Anyways it kinda seemed a little bit too fluffy for my tastes.
Interesting characters. But PLEASE have your editors notice that passed and past are two separate words!!!! You almost always misuse passed when you mean past. Passed="I passed a car going too slow on the highway." Past="World War II happened in the past."
Five stars
