Review "Fractured Heart by Scarlett Cole"

All things, when placed under pressure, eventually break or leave a mark.

Tattoo artist Brody "Cujo" Matthews knows how to keep things simple. In life and in love. Abandoned as a child by a mother who refused to stick around to raise three boys she didn't want, he's intent on staying clear of complicated women. The only things complicated in Cujo’s life are the killer tattoos he designs and inks. That all changes when he’s asked to help organize his best friend Trent's engagement party, which means working with Trent's fiancée's best friend, Drea, the definition of high maintenance and sizzling curves. And the one woman he doesn’t want to walk away from.

Andrea "Drea" Caron is broke and tired. After years of caring for her ailing mom, she's at the end of her rope trying to manage the piling medical bills, two jobs, and a life placed on hold. She certainly doesn’t need the added frustration of a sexy playboy tattoo artist messing up her best friend’s engagement party or her carefully balanced life. But when Drea witnesses the abduction of a woman from the café she works at, she can’t help but turn to Cujo who’s determined to prove to Drea that he’s someone she can count on forever…but as they attempt to bring the truth to light, someone is working to bring that forever to a sudden, deadly halt.

Favorite Quote: “I don’t want a fling, Drea … When it gets hard, I want to be there for you … But that means you have to be there for me when I get hard.”

Review:I really liked this book in the beginning. It started of great. It started off with a thrill, with some mystery and I was excited to see where it would go.
Sadly, for me, the mystery was a bit lack luster. There was allot of build up but it ended a bit quick and meh. Could be better.
I loved the chemistry between Brody, or Cujo as he goes by and Andrea or Drea. They had nice banter.
I really loved Cujo. He is a charming, nice guy.
Drea is admirable, she took care of her mother for years and it wasn't easy for her. She worked her ass of and I really feel for her. However she got a bit annoying at times. I get she used to making decisions for herself and her mother but she took some really stupid ones.
If the mystery part was wrapped up a bit better, was explored a bit better then it could have been an amazing book.
