Who doesn't love a man in uniform? 😍
I know I do, and Nate is no different!
Nate is in the military and recently getting divorced after 10 years of marriage!
Then comes Lucas-the hottie tattoo artist.
They have chemistry from the first meeting when Nate came into the shop. And when they kissed for the first time...whoa! I read it twice!
Literally throughout the book, I was waiting for the bad thing to happen. They had such a good thing going through out the book. They had chemistry for the beginning, and you can tell they were falling for each other.
It's obvious that Nate was avoiding the Caleb situation. I was waiting for it to sink in. He finally realized, "Right then, Lucas met his, and that heart-stopping smile played at his lips. Oh God. I am in way over my head with you."
Like I said, I waited for Nate to break down and he did. My heart broke for him.

I absolutely love the story of Nate and Lucas. All the emotions were there, the chemistry and the need they had for each other. I'm so happy they found each other and were able to help each other heal after both had failed marriages.

The story line was great. I really
Enjoyed reading this book!

Cover Up is a great standalone in this interconnected series. This story gives us Nate, Caleb, and Lucas's story. However, I enjoyed seeing the characters from the previous books in this one as they are a very close group of men and friends. This story was just as great as the previous book in this series and just like the ones before it, it does not disappoint. I loved the chemistry between the characters and when it comes to this book it does not lack steam. The characters were great, the storyline was great, and the flow of the story was perfect. I finished it in one sitting and I really could have read more of these characters. If you've read the previous books in this series this one is a must read. If you haven't started the series yet and enjoy a good m/m read, then this is definitely a series worth reading. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

This is my second M/M book. I absolutely loved it Nate and Lucas were just perfect. Fab characters xx

I really love the Skin Deep Ink series and its characters, so I was looking forward to reading Nate and Lucas' story, and I wasn't disappointed.

Both Nate and Lucas have been married and been burned by that, so neither of them is looking for a relationship. But when Nate comes to Skin Deep Ink to get a cover up for the tattoo that reminds him of his cheating ex-husband, the chemistry between him and Lucas is palpable, and they end up in bed together. Again and again. Even though they keep telling themselves it's just sex, lying to themselves becomes more and more difficult..

There isn't much I didn't like about this book. Nate and Lucas are great characters, and they're sweet together. I love how there are more and more gentle moments between them, and I also liked how Nate ends up working through his issues. Unlike with the other books, where both characters had something more or less big to work through, here it is mostly Nate. Yes, Lucas has his insecurity regarding his job, but.. that was something that didn't quite convince me, somehow. That didn't lessen my enjoyment, though.

There is plenty of sex, and while personally I could have done with fifty percent or less, it was well written and hot. L.A. Witt's writing is solid and fun to read - the only places I tripped up was when she used "the guys" rather than "they" in a few places, but since I read an ARC this could end up corrected in the final version.

My one issue with it is something I actually feel conflicted about - and it's something I felt in all three novels. The conflict that *has* to happen before the end is build up well, but in all three books is resolved too quickly to feel entirely satisfying. Especially in this book it just feels a little too fast. On the other hand, I love reading about grown ups who actually try dealing with things and do something about it, so... As I said, I'm torn. It's why this is a four star rather than a five star book - it's still a very good book and I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for great m/m to read, but it isn't *perfect*. But I absolutely loved hanging out with these characters, and I also loved how bisexuals were portrayed here as well. This definitely won't be the last book by L.A. Witt I've read.

I've never skimmed an L.A. Witt book before, but I couldn't get through this one. It's literally like every book in this series already and like her Anchor Point series. There's no buildup or anticipation. It's just two guys who see each other, like each other, and bam, they're together. I really like L.A. Witt, but her last four books have felt like the same exact books over and over again. Frankly, all the sex just gets boring after awhile, and it's tiresome how the main characters are always anti-relationship but magically fall in love. I'd like to see her try some different tropes other than jaded guys banging it out. A slower burn would be much better than the instalove that keeps happening to the characters in her books. This one just didn't work for me, and I hope she switches some things up in her future books.
