[Blog Tour - Review & Top 5] Masquerade ~ Nyrae Dawn

A biker. A tattoo artist. A love to last a lifetime.
Maddox Cross has always had to be tough. When his father went to jail for murder, the teenager took care of his sister and mother. Now on his own and working security at a night club, Maddox wants to become a tattoo artist-a dream that comes closer to reality when he falls for the hottest, most tatted woman he's ever seen. She's wild and beautiful, and Maddox will do anything to be with her.

Bee Malone came to town to open up her new tattoo parlor, Masquerade. Since being kidnapped as a young girl, Bee has had trouble getting close to anyone. But when she meets Maddox, she sees that under his hard biker's body is the sensitive soul of an artist. What starts out as a sizzling one-night stand soon becomes so much more.

Bee wants Maddox to join her tattoo business, but letting him into her life means revealing all her most intimate secrets. And as the past begins to intertwine with her present, Bee fears their love may not be as permanent as their ink . . . 

Top 5 Favorite Tats

AWESOME question. I have a tattoo of a quill with the quote “It’s never too late to be what you might have been” which I got for my writing. That will always be one of my favorites.

I am a fan of quotes so I like a lot of quote tattoos.

I like the tattoo Bee gets in MASQUERADE because it’s a tattoo that really means something to her.

I just think a tattoo should be from the heart. Something that has a meaning for person. That’s what makes it special so any tattoo like that is incredible in my book.

Jasmine's Review

Masquerade is one of the best book I have ever read. Even if the spelling is really hard. Yes, I have spelling problems I get most of the correct spellings from autocorrect.:) I don't know what I'll do without autocorrect. Anyway!! Back to the topic. This book really touched me. I don't know why, but it did. I just couldn't put this book down even if I still have tons of HW (26 pages). I just read for the whole day, I literally couldn't make myself put it down, I had to hide in the bathroom for like an hour to avoid getting caught.

Bee is a really cool chic. It seems that recently I have taken a liking to tattoo artists. Anyway who chooses what they should be called is really awesome. If I could choose my name I'd name myself Sky (it may or may not have anything to do with Sky from Hopeless.) 

Anyway, let's talk about Bee. Her background is really complicated which makes her views on love,well, complicated too. (Read the book so you'll know why it's she has a complicated background.) She doesn't really understand what love is and that's why she doesn't love anyone back. It's not like she never received love, in fact she received a lot but because of her said complicated background, it messed with her views on love.

Aside form all that serious stuff. She's seriously cool, she stands up for herself. She knows what she wants. And she doesn't let anyone talk shit to her. 

Maddox is a really hot guy, just look at the cover! Anyway, he runs away from EvERYTHING! The ones he love and hates. I can totally relate to that though I just usually run from the ones I hate, like tutor. Anyway he holds this really big guilt over his fathers sin and because of that guilt I think he feels like he deserves not having the thing he loves which is Tattoos. I think a lot of people can relate to that guilt. Or maybe not. 

This book had A LOT of denying between the two characters and I'm just really happy they had their HEA. I also want to ride Maddox's motorcycle (not the dirty kind).:) 

Overall, one of the best books I have read. Tears were falling from my eyes at the ending and all the words got kinda blurry. And I love it!! Crying is good once in a while. And it seems that I can only cry over fictional characters.:)
