No. 2 - Second the Best
$ Lake Mother F#cking Masters is in the house $
Why do I have to do everything around here? Oh yeah, because I wouldn't have it any other way. You may call me a control freak or even an a$$hole. I'm also always loyal and take care of my own. I'm finally f#cking back in So Cal where I belong. Unfortunately, I had to bring Tat Masters and all that drama with me. Look alive b*tches, Lake Mother F#cking Masters is back and cleaning house. Can you believe someone had the nerve to mess with my family? All I keep hearing about is this chick all my brothers are sprung on. I'll take care of that sh!t real quick too. It's time for me to remind people who's boss around here.
♡ Mistory ~ Lex ♡
I'm so excited to meet Lake. I've heard so much about him already. Now whether what I've heard is true or not remains to be seen. I've been hurt enough already. How can I trust anyone or anything right now? This kind of relationship is harder than I ever imagined, but I'm not going to give up. I will find a way to get through to them all. Now if only I could work along side of him on a daily basis. I can barely say his name and look him in the eye, but I have to try because I'm professional. Let's just hope we're safe long enough to figure everything out.

About the author
Rainy Flower
6 books402 followersHey BookLand,
I write under the pen name Rainy Flower, but my real name is just as unique. I'm a dedicated wife and loving mom to three boys/men. I've lived in Southern California my whole life, but let's not talk about age. Unlike some authors I didn't fall in love with books until I was in my late twenties. That's when I decided to teach myself how to read and write beyond a fourth grade level. Then in 2021 after years of on and off reading my husband encouraged me to, "Stop reading other peoples' books and try to write your own." So that's what I did. I've always been told I have a great imagination and I'm a good storyteller. All my books will talk about mental health since I have bipolar and I know this field from first hand experience. I'm not a huge fan of fade into black sooooo they will always have spice too.
I appreciate you giving this indie author a shot because I know time is precious. Thank you and happy reading!

NO. 2: Second the Best
I read this book twice people! I don't ever read books twice for the simple fact that I have a massive TBR list, and new series keep popping up leaving me no time to re-read any book. My emotions with this one was all over the place. Like D..a...m...n... girl. what. are. you. doing. to. me. 🤣 I love this series, obviously not everyone will, but you have to read it to find out for yourself. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me!
A lot happened to Mistory this go around. One of my guys has me upset with him, I won't spoil it, that's all I can say about that, lol. I have some wants and wishes for book 3. Like... I would love to definitely see some additions to Mistory's harem. I think these 2 guys would be perfect going forward, lol. There is also a few couples waiting to happen in my opinion that would make this group of friends even better. Hmm... can I just get a wishlist of things i want to happen in the next one?!?! Ahh.... 🤣
I can't wait for book 3 to release...is it time yet???
*Edit*
I made a Spotify playlist for NO. 2. You'll find songs 1-21 from the book as they are mentioned. Check it out! I did add 2 others to the list not mentioned. I hope you find they fit, once you've read the book, lol.

YES PLEASE GIVE ME #3!!!
YES PLEASE, give me more of this! This book is filled with everything I love! Hot, Tattooed, Dirty Talking, Possessive, Loyal men whom are all in love with the same woman and want nothing but to see her happy. There are some wild twists in the storylines but there is never a dull moment, from all the deliciously hot encounters that this group has together or one on one time with each other in this book it kept me right on the edge and who doesn’t like a little kink in their books (oh this girl sure does)! Mistory has an amazing relationship with each of her guys and they all vibe well as a group because of their longtime friendships. The secondary characters play amazingly well in this book too! This installment on the series is definitely spicier than the first book. It had my attention from the first page of the first chapter! I am dying to find out what is going to happen in the next book from the way the cliffhanger was played out at the end! Hands down this new author is a rising star! I have fallen for each of the main characters in this book (including Mistory) and some of the “secondary characters” I am so hoping they either get their own stories or some might make their way into the group relationship. Book 3 can’t come soon enough for me!!!

This book blew me away!!! AND MY NAME IS IN THIS BOOK!!!!!!
No.2 Second the Best is book 2 in the TNT- Top Notch Tats series. It's a reverse harem and you have to read Tricked, book 1, first.
I have been in love with Lex, Gage, Jessie, Lake and the rest of The Crew since book 1 and I love them even more after finishing this one.
Rainy created such an amazing, addictive, spicy, captivating story that will have you glued to the pages.
I cant say enough good things about this series!! Mistory (Lex) is such a relatable FMC and every single one of her guys are smoking hot!! I can't wait to see if a certain bodyguard gets added to the harem 😉😉
And that ending!?!?! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING!!! I cant wait to see what happens in the next book!!
If you guys haven't started this series yet, you REALLY need to!! Its an AMAZING read!!!

No2 - second the BEST (TNT - Top Notch Tats book 2) and Mistory (Lex) is pretty much part of the TNT family now. Her love life has changed a great deal too with plenty of steamy scenarios with her guys. Its Lex's dynamic with Lake that is a big factor in this book. Hes rude, obnoxious and pretty much an alpha****. He and Lex seem to rub each other up the wrong way which is funny in parts and very steamy too. Apart from that this book seemed to be darker than the first. That ending completely threw and shocked me at the same time but im still enjoying reading it so much. I cant wait for book 3
May 15, 2022
WOW. I am speechless! This has been one of my top reads in 2022 so far. No.2 Second the Best is the second book in the TNT- Top Notch Tats series. It's a contemporary reverse harem story and you definitely need to read book one in order to properly enjoy book 2. And it is well worth the read!
Book 1 had me hooked with the amazing, diverse characters and the addicting plot. But book 2 just got even better (AND MORE SPICY)! Rainy has this way of writing that pulls you in and keeps you there until very end.
I definitely need book 3 ASAP! I will not be okay until I know what happens next to Mistory and her men. I have about million questions and theories that I need answers to. I am so glad I found Rainy Flower and this book series.

This second book, wow! Did I just totally devour it in less than 24 hours? Why, yes. Yes I did.
💜 sassy, strong FMC
💜 yummy men and strong women that support and love the FMC
💜 ongoing mystery
💜 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 spicy spicy
The character development in this book was outstanding. We got to know each person so much more and got to watch as different relationships grew. Of course, the mystery continues to get deeper and I have no clue how many people are involved. I have some theories, and can’t wait to read the next book to see if they are correct. But, seriously. That cliffhanger! Geesh! Can’t wait to get the next book in the series to see what happens next.

WOW 😮 what a book! Completely loved it and I desperately need book 3 now!!!! It was so good. Mistory is so much fun and her guys are great. I love that the relationships are evolving and gosh Lake is just yum..! I love how Rainy just builds the layers of the story, there’s still mystery and the ending really threw a curveball! I mean, what’s going to happen next?! I just can’t wait! The steamy scenes are great 🥵 and I love that there’s a lot of variation in them! It’s not just all the same or repetitive (which is great because Rainy gives us a lot - yes woman!) can’t wait for the next one. If you like alphas, tattoos, lots of steam and a fast pace then this series is for you!

Brilliant
Book 1 was good book 2 is brilliant.
Omg lex and her guys are all literally going through hell.
I have never read about so many twisted ex's in my life.
Is it fair to say I want to kick all the women in the lady garden I mean holy hell they are so seriously deranged women.
Lake I want to hate him but I truly can't he's just so annoyingly amazing.
That cliffhanger though I mean what the actually hell is going on, my heart literally feels sorry for lex.
Rainy this is a truly amazing second book to this series and I for one cannot wait for book 3

Wow book 1 was amazing and book 2 did not disappoint. What a roller-coaster and I loved that you got to read from the guys POV along with a few characters getting bought in and others being in the story more. . Well written and addictive and to top it off it's a decent length read, I do enjoy long books. Warning there is a bloody cliffhanger arhhhhhhh. Rainy has once again written a great story bring on book 3.
May 1, 2022
This is the second book in this series. The relationship between Lex and her guys continues to build (and it is hot 🔥 🔥!). This story is full of intrigue that will leave you unable to put this book down. You need to read this series. The ending is definitely a cliffhanger - can’t wait to see what happens next for Lex, her guys and the Crew!
May 2, 2022
I patiently waited and I was not disappointed at all!! RAINY girl. I love you. I love your books. I love lex and watching her transformation through these books. I love her men I totally want to slap one of them you know who but still lol. Also we finally got some lake!!!! Ahhhhhh!!! I love him he’s wonderful and just ugh. Yes please!!
May 4, 2022
Well shoot. So much happens in this book, a true roller-coaster of emotions. It has some good steam and a variety of characters. The drama really pushed the story along and kept me intrigued. I'm loving this storyline so much. I'm so beyond excited to see where it's headed and to have some questions answered. After an epic cliffhanger, my brain is not ready to let go!
May 4, 2022
OMG! This is the BEST series ever! I don't know how Rainy Flower does it but these books just keep getting better. The characters are phenomenal, they are all so different yet fit together so well. The story has a great flow that keeps you flipping the pages to see what going to happen next. I've never been more jealous of a fictional character than I am of Lex... She is one lucky lady! The chemistry between her and each of the guys is off the charts, set your kindle on fire HOT!

Brilliant! I loved this more than the first book
…I just couldn’t put it down. I’m not a fan of the jumpy narrative sometimes, it takes a few pages for things to make sense. I love the guys and Lex most especially. The end of the book was a little confusing and in Alex’s own words talking about these thing, miscommunication is key in stories like this.

Now that Mistory AKA Lex has stolen the hearts of the MILK crew (Gage, Jesse, Anthony, and Lake) she finally feels ready to start her book. That is until the past of someone comes to destroy what they have. I stayed glued to this book as Book 1 left me on a cliffhanger. Just when Lex thinks life is finally looking up, her world comes crashing down. She gets kidnapped and her whole life gets turned upside down. Who took her? Will the guys come find her? Who can she trust? These are just some of the questions you will ask yourself. Book 1 brought Lex into your life but Book 2 will have you breathing Lex's life into yours. I love Lex's character but after Book 1 ended, I wasn't sure if I hated her or loved her. After reading Book 2 I found I loved her character more. Will they get their happy ever after? I guess only Book 3 will tell. I highly recommended not only this book but also this series. Trust me, you must read this series. The plot twists and turns are incredible. Once again Rainy has done justice by this book.

nasty ghetto trash
I really hoped this would have been better than the first. It wasn’t. DNF at the first mention of the nasty Lake. *gag*

Holy cliff hanger.
May 12, 2022
I really like Mistory, aka Lex, and seeing her relationships with the guys grow. We do get more with Lake, and while I had a few moments of -he’s not so bad- at other times I still wanted to shake him. There are a couple jumps, where I wish we had a little more info before the fast forward, but i enjoyed the story, until the end. The last few chapters have really big jumps/fast forwards in the story where I almost felt like I had whiplash trying to figure out what was going on. They were big emotional jumps too, and I really didn’t get what she was doing with Alex and Jace or why she had done that. Also, what happened with Jesse? The guys would also flip from super over protective, to no one guarding her - which really just felt like a way for someone to get at her.
December 2, 2022
Picked up this series and couldn't put it down!! These guys and Lex are amazing characters & keep you entertained the whole time!
