Poor Ashlyn....this girl is literally at the very bottom point in her life when she meets Lane through a co-worker. She has a sad past. But things definitely look up when she meets Lane. He is protective and so sweet. 

This is a very easy to read, sweet romantic story. It has just a little sex in it, so it would be great for those that aren't into the steamier books. 



♥♥♥♥ 4/5 Hearts

Opposites attract, new adult, romance between a young woman facing tough challenges and a sexy, tattooist, single dad!

Written on my Heart is my first read by Cole Gibsen and while the blurb appealed to me, I’m not always the biggest fan of New Adult romances. However, let me say this, this book completely swept me away and I really enjoyed this opposites attract romance between a persevering young woman who doesn’t give up no matter the tough challenges she faces and a sexy, tattooist, single dad. While there is some steamy action and light-hearted moments mixed in between drama, the book has a heavy emotional undertone but with the easy flow of the author’s writing, she really has a way of drawing you in. 

Told from dual perspective, Ashlyn and Lane have a sizzling chemistry that only grows despite neither one wanting to face up to their attraction and feelings. Both characters have been through rough periods in their life for different reasons but no matter how easy it would be for them to break, they both find an inner strength and in each other may just have found someone who can truly understand and respect them. I loved the interactions of both characters with Lane’s sister and Ashlyn’s co-worker, Emily, and Lane’s daughter, Harper; Harper is such a loveable and strong little girl. 

If you enjoy a single dad or new adult romance, definitely give this a read. I enjoyed it!

This new adult romance is very touching, sweet, romantic, sad. The story captured me from the first page, I immediately attached to the characters, are amazing and lovable but Ashlyn's family is really horrible.
Although she is young, Ashlyn has already known the true suffering, her stepfather is a wicked person who tried to destroy her life and is almost successful. But she found the courage to flee. Now she lives alone with a crazy roommate, has a broken-down car, a small and tiring work. But it is free and has the comfort of her dog and her friend Emily, she and a tattoo to be removed do know her a great guy, Lane. For an adolescent mistake he is found to be the father of a beautiful ten year old girl. The mother doesn't have wanted to know about her so he takes care of her alone and when his father died Lane also takes care of his sister and his mother with a lot of love. His life is only made of work and family, he  doesn't have time or desire to a stable relationship. When Ashlyn remains homeless he absolutely can't make her sleep in the car. He allows her to live in a small apartment that is under his shop. Being so close, the attraction between them increases and will be difficult to fight against their own feelings. Will they be able to heal the wounds of their hearts and find a way to live peacefully a love story?
I really loved the protagonists of this story. Ashlyn is very fragile, insecure, Lane can not help but to protect her. They are great, very young but mature, they already understand how life can be tough.
This reading is very addictive, thanks to the alternation of the point of views of Ashlyn and Lane during the story. The plot is believable and realistic, unfortunately even the author has had a similar experience to the protagonist, she knows what it is to be so young and helpless, not knowing where to live.
It 's a pleasant and deep reading, romantic but not trivial,
