Broken Soldiers #1
Scarred Soldier, Inked Angel
Max Rider thought putting on the uniform would make him a hero, but he only returned home a broken man. Rider’s entire back is covered in scars. He’s determined to cover them up with ink, and the only man he’d trust with a needle is tattoo artist, Mike Ferrara.
Five hours on his chair and Mike’s already fallen in love with his human canvas, Rider. Those who need work done on their skin always want something. A dose of courage. A lucky charm. Rider wants protection from his demons, but Mike isn’t satisfied with inking wings on Rider’s skin. He wants to claim Rider as his own, cast off his chains, and teach him how to fly.

That's all about a group of soldiers (kids, realmente) and how they survive the after war.
All of them lost something: Josh have loat his lover and best friend Eli, and his arm; Rider have a back full of scars and a lot of loud monsters in his head; and Rex lost the capacity of feeling his legs.
But all of them have, at least, a second chanse to forgive their past and walk to a new future.
Josh found his apoyo en the little brother of his boyfriend (Johnny), quien también está destrozado por la muerte de su hermano.
Y Rider encuentra un respiro de sus monstruos al decidirse a hacerse un tatuaje que simbolice su liberación.
La trama es bastante simple, no me llegó mucho el personaje. Personalmente no me gustó el que eligiera crear un personaje tan dominante (al punto de tratar como propiedad) a un chico que sigue recuperándose a si mismo. No soy psicóloga, pero creo que eso podría salir realmente mal.
Fuera de ello, realmente no hay mucho, the author estaba empecinada con la idea de juntarlos a estos dos; no importa que la vida de Rider ni siquiera haya hecho mucho cambio a lo largo del libro.

Scarred Soldier, Inked Angel by author Angelique Voisen is the first book in the Broken Soldiers series. There is a ton to love about this book. I like how even in a short story context Ms. Voisen makes me feel very connected to her characters.
Ryder is going through a living hell when we meet him. He is recovering from surviving war. He has panic attacks, PSTD, and most of his body is scarred. He goes to Michael's shop to reclaim part of his body as his own with a taboo.
Michael own his own tattoo shop. He is dominate, and has always thought Ryder was arrogant and spoiled. But seeing him broken, awakes the Dom inside of Michael. He wants Ryder. He wants the broken man to be his.
I really think this is a great beginning for both of these men. I hope we can revisit them in the future and see how they are getting along. They are extremely hot, and well suited. I love a story that leaves you wanting more and this one does. When you want your romance short and steamy this is the one to pick up.

I liked this book. Mike and Rider are great characters who are being developed throughout the story. There is sexual content and violence but it is more Rider's memories. I'm not sure if the next is about his brother's in the military or on them but I'd like to see more of these guys.

It was ok... kind of gritty for my taste. But it ended well and was romantic in it's own way.

I would love to see more time between the MCs before they started dating and some time with them after ... other than that I loved the book
