Written on My Heart by Cole Gibsen

Official Blurb:


It's been six months since Ashlyn Daniels was kicked out of her home. Six months since she stood up to her abusive stepfather and got a busted rib—and seeing all her things set ablaze in a backyard bonfire—for her trouble. Never going back. She doesn't need trouble...especially if trouble is tattoo artist Lane Garrett, who's six-feet-plus of tattooed hotness and a complete ass.

Lane has spent the last decade fighting to support his family. To protect them. There's no room for romance, even with a fragile (yet amusingly feisty) stunner...even if she somehow manages to invade his world and his heart.

But while some secrets are as visible as ink on the skin, others must remain hidden at all costs...


You know when you finish a book and you just have to...sit and stare at a wall for, oh, i don't know, THE REST OF YOUR LIFE just to contemplate all the things you learned and the characters you met and...

My Review:

NOTE: I was given this book as an ARC by Entangled Publishing

Oh, my god.

I think I need to take a few deep breaths and start again.

Alright, here goes nothing...

This book should not have stood out to me. I don't mean that in a mean way, all I mean is that this book fits the regular formula, and should've been the same as every other book, but it wasn't. I can't tell you why it stood out; I can't identify whether it was the down-to-earth everything, the writing, the characters, or just that I was looking for a good book, but this book just got me. It totally got me, right where I am right now, and I just can't think of a better book to read, or a better person to be than the one that WoMH just made me.

Oh, my god.

I feel like every second sentence that I state when talking about this book will have to be those three words, because I am just starstruck. Gibsen has crafted a magical novel which, for some reason, had me almost in tears. It had me begging to wallow in the depth of this book. It had me kicking and screaming to hold onto the novel just a little longer when I saw I was at 96%

And, when I finally finished the book, it had me calmly closing my kindle app and clicking on Cole Gibsen's name on my goodreads page. But, when I saw the multitude of books there, it also had me exiting the page and writing this review because this book was too perfect to marr with any other forms of perfection. This book must be framed and placed where it is, where it should stay, up on a pedestal of human existence because

Oh, my god.

Those words are the ones I will always come back to.

Oh, my god.
