Jesse (Damage Control 2): Inked Boys

I received and ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Jesse is so HOT! Jesse and Amber truly personify what soul mates should be. Without the other they are not truly living. Jesse has had such a hard life and does not see all the people around him truly care about him and will be there no matter what. He does not trust that anyone would keep him around. Amber has her own demons and is only comfortable around a select few people. The way they are the best versions of themselves when they are together is amazing. I fell in love with their story from the beginning. Jo tells there pasts so well that I felt like I was right there with them, I really felt there pain.

I love that Amber breaks out of her shell to save Jesse and will do anything to show him just how important he is to her and everyone else. I love how Jesse gives her the confidence to get past her fears. I can't wait to get glimpses of them in the rest of the damaged boys books!

Jesse meets Amber on her first day back in town. He is someone who hides his pain behind a sunny smile and humor. Amber tries to avoid people as much as possible but they just keep running into each other. Both have darkness in their pasts which they deal with in different ways yet both are hiding. Will they be able to pull themselves out of the darkness to find their HEA? I liked this book but I didn’t connect as well with Amber. The ending seemed a little rushed to me but this is a very good read.
On a side note; oh my God poor Seth. I can’t wait for his book!

Number two in the Inked boys story is unbelievably good, these books started with the Inked Brotherhood series and from start to present as there is more to read, every single book has not only broadened the scope of what it is to know that sometimes the family you choose can be better than the one you are born into but also every one is better than the last. I read the Inked Brotherhood for the second time after a couple of years and I think I liked it even more the second time. I went into the Inked boys and do not believe that I will stop until the story does. I cannot express how incredibly good these books really are I loved Jo raven as an author then and I have even more respect for her abilities now. These books are freaking fantastic!

Kindle Copy for Review

Amber returns to Madison, a different person than she was once. She hides her past as she tries to fly under the radar until she meets Jesse.

Jesse is called a man whore who sleeps around and leaves a trail of used woman behind. He did not have an idly childhood running away to live on the streets as he prostitute himself to survive on the streets. He still has his own demons with nightmares and barely spending money despite his job and saving money in his room instead of a bank.

Both having demons, can they save each other as they are more drawn to each other even after one night? Will Amber be Jesse saving grace that will heal his nightmares? Will they be able to move past and have their happy ever after?

Oh Wow!! Jesse Lee, he is such a closed book, defensive, stubborn and underneath all that he is so vulnerable. He is so different to the other boys and the guys from the Inked Brotherhood, he finds it so hard to trust but once he meets Amber, I think he trusts her before he even realises it. I really really liked Amber in this story, she had also had it rough but she was strong and I think this is what brought her and Jesse together,they were both vulnerable and both victims but together they are survivors. I would love to see Jesse grow and see what kind of man he will become, now he has friendship, love and family. Another great read from Jo Raven, I didn't want the story to end but them I can't wait to read more about the Damage Control Boys. Don't miss out and not read this, get it and read it! FABBO!

JJ you нανє тσ мσяє тнαи ʝυѕт мємвєя'ѕ нєαят уσυ нανє ѕтσℓєи мιиє αѕ ωєℓℓ ?!! ι нανє LOVED all of Jo's work BUT this one was truly my favorite. I thought no one could push Asher asude but DAMN Jesse has!! I loved the language, the story, the strength and bond these 2 have been through. Ember reminds me so much of myself!! I would of enjoyed just a little longer only because I didn't want it to end!! Jo has pulled another amazing story out other hat again. I have found myself reading and rereading this story over and over again. I really got lost and loved in this story!!i would love to actually have this book in my hands!! You MUST read this story if you don't read any of her other books ( which would be a total loss to you!! YOU HAVE TO READ THIS ONE!!)

I need a little adjustment of my own!
Okay so the only thing needing adjusting on me is my heart...I think that Ms. Raven has stolen it from me with Jesse and his story. Leading a very rough life from the time he was a little boy up until he is taken in by the guys leaves Jesse wanting to always be ready for anything that may happen including the need for a place to live. Little does he realize that the guys don't want him going anywhere, they have every intention of keeping him around. And now there is Amber. She has been through her own form of hell and is trying to fight for her strength and independence. They need each other in this world, they also need to wake up and realize it before it's too late.

The Inked Brotherhood Series is becoming my favorite series of inked guys. They are full of HOT Alpha guys. Damage Control boys each have their own demons to overcome. Jesse is who is my all time fave so far is cocky and sure of himself. Or is he? He wears his emotions and pain like a mask. Then he meets Amber (or Ember, as he likes to tease her)and gives him feelings he has never felt. She is also facing her own troubled past. Can they help each other and overcome their insecurities and demons? You have to one-click and find out. HINT: You won't be disappointed :) . Can't wait to see what Jo Raven has in store with the other "Brothers". I give this a 5+ star rating. Great job Jo Raven!!!

I absolutely LOVED this book!! Jesse & Amber were amazing characters and their personalities just meshed with each other. They were very protective of each other and they fought for each other. Yes there were times I wanted to shake both of them and tell at them, but overall I loved them. Jesse had a lot to overcome in this book. I loved watching him grow and deal with his past. Amber had a horrible past in Madison and yes her insecurities really messed with her but she overcame them especially with Jesse's help. Together they healed and helped each other. Their connection was very intense and their passion was off the charts!! I am so excited for the next book in this amazing series!!

ARC GIVEN IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW

Well Jo Raven has done it again, taken a dark and brooding man and a genuine and insecure woman and turned it into a love story that we all yearn for.

This is what dreams are made of and wish our realities to be.

I have loved every single one of Jo's book's but Jesse has literally taken my breath away, this book made me laugh, cry and feel the anguish and pain of Jesse and Amber (Embers).

I loved how Jesse felt like through the whole book their was a familiarity to Amber (Embers) when truth be told it is because they are two peas in a pod.

An amazing read once again Jo looking forward to the next in the series!

OMG! Love Jesse!!
At first, I was kind of pissed at Jesse on the first part....
But as the story goes, I got to start loving him more and more.
This story is about Jesse and Amber.
Both have issues that have an impact on their lives and self-esteem.
With Jesse's reputation and Amber's issue, will they have a happy ending?
You will definitely enjoy reading this book!
What I love about this book is that Jesse and Amber's story is easy to relate with and I easily got attached to them.
Oh, I also love that the characters from the Ms. Jo's books are here!!! eeeekkk!!!
Loved it!
I can't wait to see who will have the next story!

Jesse!

Another superb addition to this fantastic series Damage Control.
They can be read in order or as a standalone but I recommend that
You read them in order as you will get a better knowledge of each character better
I'm not going to give anything away as that's my rule - No Spoliers.
Jesse is a fantastic book that will have you wanting to jump into this book and grabbing him just to give him a cuddle.

These's books are amazing there soul bearing and will have your emotions going electric you will get the true experience's that people go through daily I was excited to have the privilege to an early copy of this book and my favourite character is Zane but Jesse has gone and took root in my heart he had me angry, sad and smiling and woofing by the end.

I recommend this authors book and have those tissue's at hand.

With fear & Demons, Love sometimes can conquer all and in my heart each and every book has given me a journey I've loved and Jesses story is no different.

Was lucky enough to get this one as an arc for an honest review. And Wow, I have another crush...on Jesse. Love the chemistry between these two. And loved the story. Think I connected with this one the most because I have experienced bullying myself. If I could give this book more stars...I definitely would. This book grabbed me from the very first page & I was lost in a new world & away from mine... And really enjoy glimpses of the other guys from the other books so I can see how they're getting along & moving forward. Can't wait to read about these other "Damage" boyz...& of course updates on the brothers inkhood. Love these boyz so much.

This is the second book I have read by Jo Raven and I can honestly say that I really enjoyed this book and I love her style of writing.
This story is about Jesse (JJ) and Amber (Embers) two broken souls who didn't have the best of childhoods.
This story will take you on an emotional roller coaster and I honestly don't think my heart could take much more.I just wanted to wrap Jesse up and give him a big cuddle.He really wasn't the character I thought he would be.I loved how Amber appears to get stronger as the story goes on.
It's as if there each others Talisman and as it says by trusting your heart to someone it can set you free of your past.
I need more Jesse and Amber.
I'm now off to read book 3 of the damage control series as I can't get enough.
This series is that good I can't bare to put it down.

I am so in love with the Damage Boyz. The storylines are fresh and the “damage” makes these men so lovable you just want to grab them up for a cuddle. Jo Raven captures the soul of her characters and makes them three dimensional so you feel like your friend is telling you about their own day.

The women that end up loving these boys are strong and that is another great thing that Jo Raven portrays with her engrossing and engaging story-telling.

I plan to find a way to get all of Jo’s books that I can, who needs food anyway… Right? Right.

I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.

Honestly, I found the story long winded and nonsensical in parts... and the byline with Nick never really went anywhere.
I found Amber whingey and whiny, and whilst Jesse /JJ had a right trot they had limited redeeming qualities.
This book also reminded me A LOT of a similar but older, well-written series of pierced and inked 'damaged' tattoo artists, and I found myself wondering if Jo had 'sought inspiration' from that series?

Omg !!! I was given an arch copy in exchange for an honest review and can I just say that no one can write a book like Jo Raven. I absolutely loved this book and will probably reread it a thousand more time. Jesse story is heartbreaking and so good all at the same time. I loved Jesse and he is probably one of my favorite characters in this series, and I loved Amber she had her own package but he and Jesse together simply beautiful. I didn't think it was possible, but I fell more in love with Zane then I was before. I can't wait to read more for this series. This book was so close to home and I loved ever minute of it.

Jesse is a really tortured hero - I knew he has a troubled past because all the Damage Boyz do but I had no idea it was what it was. To be honest he and Amber seemed like an odd match and why he kept coming back for more when she was VERY rude to him over and over again is beyond me. Jo did a really great job building up their relationship and showing the connection they built. My only complaint with the book was the ending. It was SO abrupt. I found my self flipping back and then forward a few times not sure why it just stopped. Hopefully we'll see more of their relationship develop in future books as supporting characters.

Just WOW! This is the first book I've read by this author. I will be reading more after this. Jesse geez where to start?

Jesse is a manwhore who tries to block out the past but he can only take so much.

Amber is ting to come to terms with her past so she can move on with her future.

When Jesse and Amber meet there is so much chemistry you don't know what could happen.
It takes sometime but they work out what needs to be in there heads and hearts and finally except how love can heal one another. This is a great story and I can't wait to read more about this gang!

Was given an arch of Jesse for a honest review. I loved this book, the beginning was a little slow but after the first chapter I was hooked. Jo Raven has done it yet again with this book, and I love the way she writes and can tell a story, and the way she can emotionally tie you to her character. Jesse had a mess up life, and you just want to hug him and take him home with you. Loved that we got to see Zane, Dylan, Tyler, Rafe, and of course my favorite Asher. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Can't wait to read the rest of this series Jo Raven can't write it fast enough.

Who else but Jo Raven can make a heartbreaking story about a lost and broken couple uplifting? By the time you're done reading this book it has you believing in happily ever afters. Jesse is freaking hot, sexy and arrogant but it covers up his insecurities. We would never believe someone like him would have self esteem issues. Amber is as real as you can get. What woman doesn't have scars from a lot to a spot of bullying in their life. Clever Jo gives us characters we can not only relate to but fall in love with. Can't wait to read Seth if my family wouldn't stage an intervention, I would binge read the entire series.

I absolutely love all of No Raven's "Boyz"!! They have seen more than their share of struggles but always band together when it counts. Jesse is no exception. He's been a mystery until now and this book does not disappoint. As a companion series to her Inked Brotherhood series, the Damage Control series is awesome! I do wish it was longer though. But then again , I'm never ready for one of these stories to end. I highly recommend both series. The depth of characters and their experiences draws you into the stories and you just can't put them down! You won't be disappointed!

God I just fell hard for Jesse. He tore up my heart and made me swoon. Coming from such a dark past he is rescued by the guys at Damage Control. He just can't fathom that he gets to keep the life he is leading right now and keeps thinking that he could lose it at any moment when people tire of him. See...heart breaking. I loved that his girl was Amber. She has some issues of her own deriving from extreme bullying. I loved how she channeled everything into her art. I loved that they were part of healing each other. I just really loved their story.

I give Jesse 5 hearts!

This is the first book I have read by Jo Raven. Jesse is part of a series but can also be read as a standalone (I hadn't read the other books).

The characters are well developed and the pace is steady. Jesse and Amber were both likeable characters - both damaged but perfect for each other.

This book is about two very damaged people dealing with their pasts and coming together and helping each other over the hurdles they've faced.

This was a very sweet read and I really enjoyed it.

I look forward to reading more from this author

Jo Raven how do you do it? I absolutely adored this book (which should come as no real surprise anymore, Jo = amazing story). I honestly don’t know who she keeps coming up with fresh plot ideas! Every time she writes I get a new favourite, I can’t keep up!

I fell in love with Jesse and then with him and Amber as a couple, Jo has an amazing ability to create such likeable strong characters, there are no naive girl stereotypes here! She manages to perfectly balance strength and vulnerability in these characters where others would fail.
Jo, I’m going to need so more pretty darn quickly!

Excellent. Jo Ravens writing has developed so much over the series. The heroine was a little hard to like in the beginning. She did not show much empathy and lashed out a lot to protect herself which is somewhat understandable, but I felt like Jesse had a much harder life and was less abrasive, but everyone is different and we all react in different ways. Typical manwhore and low on herself girl (she was bullied in school) find a connection with each other. They go back and forth with their feelings more of the heroine than hero, however it wasn't quite as frustrating as Dylan and Tessa's back and forth. The story was great and kept me reading with only a few breaks until the end. I am a huge fan of the author and intend to read everything she publishes. Her books stand out because it not only typical adult issues, but always a dark past to work through. Her descriptions are spot on. In her books when the hero is dead tired from being awake for many hours I literally feel my eyes grow heavy from her words alone. Again great book, great author, do not miss this series or the Inked brotherhood series.
ARC provided for honest review.

Jesse is a boy from the streets who doesn't trust that anything good can stay. He's lost everything and everyone he has ever cared about, so how can he trust that he won't lose his home, his friends, or himself? Amber has been pushed to the brink by a bully who stripped what little confidence she had. She's braver now and returns to put her life back together, but it is much harder than she ever imagined. The manwhore and the wallflower--a story of new beginnings where the only way to find yourself is to trust in someone else. Another great story in the Damage Control series and Inked Brotherhood world.

*ARC given for an honest review*
Jesse is the second book of this series. I love this couple, Jesse and Amber. They are so hurt by their past that they are afraid to believe that they can have a happy and loving future together. They start to trust and share their stories with one another and start to heal and fall in love. I love the story and can not wait for the next book in the series. Jo Raven is an excellent writer and If you haven't read any of her books, start from the beginning with Inked brotherhood your fall in love over and over again.

Wow....Jo does it again. I fell in love from the first page of Asher of the Inked Brotherhood so I knew that I would love the Damage Boyz just as much! I was gifted an ARC for an honest review. Jesse pulls at your heartstrings not just because of his story but also because of Amber's story! I had no doubt that this book would be another 5 star from Jo. Amber is the perfect balance for Jesse. The complete each other. None of these boys have had it easy...poor Jesse. Please one-click. You will not be disappointed. Amazing story with lovable characters!

What can I say about this author’s writing that I haven’t said before?? Another hot, troubled guy. Another somewhat broken girl to pair up with.

And although that might make this seem like writing by numbers, let me assure you that this is not the case. Each of the main characters in Jo’s books have a very distinct voice, even if their circumstances are similar.

As always, good pacing and characterisation, with an involving storyline. An easy, engrossing, read.

Well first thing first Jessie is hot but damaged my favourite kind of man

I loved the story Amber has serve issues that have shaped her life and changed who she was

She struggles to be with any one and it takes her everything to trust
Her and Jesse have a spark at first sight you can see that they are both broken and both have there pasta to face

Can they do the right things so they can both move on and be together or will the deck of cards fall all around them

**ARC received in exchange for an honest review**
Another amazing read in the Damaged Control series. I found myself falling for Jesse just how I have fell in love with all the Ink Brotherhood, and Micah. I am so happy he and Amber find each other. Their journey is long and hard with serious topics but it is also strong, loyal, and loving. They compliment each other beautifully. I love all of Jo Raven's Boyz and I can't wait to see who she writes about next! Highly recommend, you won't be able to put it down!

An enjoyable read with decent storyline. Jesse was cute with all his player-turned-boyfriend confusion. I like the entire cast of characters in these two connected series but I'm finding so far the Damage Control books don't seem to have the same depth as the stories in Inked Brotherhood. Still, good writing and makes for a fun afternoon of reading.

I love all of Jo Raven's books, however this one has moved to my favorite. I started this book and couldn't put it down until I finished. This is the second book in this series and I can't wait until the next one. Jesse is one of those guys that captures you right from the beginning. He is a man whore that you just fall for. Good looking with a heart that I just wanted to hug. Jesse is an emotional read. Amber is a fiesty woman who comes back home to find herself and in return finds love. We get to see all the boys and catch up with all of them to where they are now. I can't wait to read the next book.

I was given an ARC copy of this book by Jo Raven, this is my second book that i have read by her and all i have to say is holy hotness. from the minute i started reading i was not able to put this book down. Jesse is every girls dream of a bad boy and Amber is the shy girl with some issues. they are amazing for each other. they have their faults just like everyone.
I am not one to give spoilers but you need to one click this book and fall in love with Jesse.

I never thought that I'd be falling so hard for Jesse. Holy cupcake, Jo Raven creates one book boyfriend better than the last one, and then she goes and does it again. What in the world?! This story had so much heart, and emotions, and awwww-moments, I cannot even begin to describe it. I love her writing and her characters, and here, please, I take one. Send him right over with a nice emerald bow. On to the next book without a break.

Truly amazing story by Jo Raven. The depth into the characters is crazy deep and you will not be disappointed!
This story follows Amber who has just moved back to Madison to face her past demons. She is anti- men until Jesse comes into the picture and slowly opens her heart back up. She is in love before she even realizes it. Both have incredibly difficult pasts they are trying to move on from. LOVED LOVED LOVED!

Given arc for honest review.

Jo did it again I absolutely loved it!!! 5 stars all the way Jesse is damaged but not beyond repair and Amber helps keep him afloat as he does for her... The boys of inked brotherhood really keep them going damage boy all have a story of their own and I can't wait for Seth. Jo raven is a five star author a must read in fact all o the ink brotherhood books and damage boys need to be read she out shines in this series in all her book really!!!! READ THEM!!!!!!!

I received this as an ARC from the author.
I love the first series and couldn't wait for the next series. Jesse might just be my favorite seeing the chemistry between these two characters. The story just keeps you going and it's not her typical story. He encourages her to better herself and they compliment each other nicely but not that overly lovey dovey crap that makes you just not want to read it or believe it.

I received this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I loved this book. This is the 2nd book in the Damage Control series and just like the Inked Brotherhood series, I'm drawn into the characters lives and their heartbreaking pasts. Each time I read a new book in the two series, I fall in love with the main character and he becomes my favorite. This is a great series and you won't be disappointed.

These Damage boys just keep getting hotter and hotter. Jesse has a tragic and sad background. Amber's life hasn't been all sunshine and roses either but together they are a perfect fit. They seem to heal the broken in each other and make the other one so much better. This is another reason why Jo Ravens one of my go to authors. Besides Jesse and the damage boys are just hot! :)

i loved this book Jesse is such a Sweetheart bless him, this book shocked me in some ways and broke my heart in other ways i could relate to a lot of it i wanted to wrap jesse up in my arms and mind him, who am i kidding i want to have all the damage men ! you may need tissues a time or two but hopeless romantics you will love this book, Jesse will always be my book boyfriend

I really love this series - I have read them all.

I like tattooed bad boys although these aren't so much bad boys but do have a past which is where the story comes in. I think the mix between the romance and the story behind the man is balanced fairly well and I enjoy that you see the couples from the previous books in the book you are reading ... like their lives are going on instead of barely seeing them.

I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Poor Jesse Lee had it rough just like all the Damage Boys, and he has definitely met his troubled but sweet match in Amber. This is there story mixed with past events and present. Plus all your favorite boys are here too.

Great Read... I am a first time reader of JO Raven and I am impressed with this authors writing style.
There is great Character development, things move along at a fast and steady pace. It sizzles "boy does it sizzle." It touches on some dark but real issues. I would definitely recommend this book.

Jesse is the 2nd book in the Damage Control series and I have to say Jo did it again! I love all of her books and this one was no exception.

This book is about Jesse and Amber and the struggles they deal with from their past. The story was heartbreaking and fantastic! You really feel what the characters through and are rooting for them to overcome their demons.

I couldn't put this book down and I really can't wait for the next one!!!

Arc of Jesse---I love the way Jo Raven writes. The start if the book was humbling. You felt Jesse's pain even before he, met Amber and the lonliness he felt at the loss of Helen. She presents guys who are bigger than life who come from pasts that are so broken you want to fix them. The girls are either really strong or become strong because of life. Perfect...

Raised on the streets, another Damage Control Inked Boy with a terrible history. He is trying to better himself. Than he meets Amber and falls hard for; but he does not think he is good enough. Rough road to their happy ending. Entertaining ebook.

This is a pretty intense drama. The two main characters are both damaged and broken individuals. This is an emotional drama of two people trying to find their way in a new relationship. This book is so intense that it was hard to but down.

It's a good book I guess my only complaint is it's book two but it really is it's own book. It doesn't contain my inked brotherhood, only Zane and Race and it doesn't have an epilogue left me hanging.

Love Jessie and Amber's, it touched my heart. Jessie is smart, and thoughtful, kind and deep but he hides it well under his handsome façade. Amber think she got nothing on Jessie. This is one of my favorite books in the series. Is warm and charming.
Don't miss it.

Once again Jo you have done it!! I simply love Jesse!! I've waited for this book and once I started I couldn't stop reading. I will say this again...if you haven't read any of her books you really must start!! Now I can't wait for your next Damage Control book! Definitely a must read!!! Loved it!!!

Jo raven can write a story. I absolutely fell in love with all the previous books she has written but I think this one may end up being one of my favorites. She know how to keep the reader interested throughout the book. Jesse just captured my heart. Thanks for writing such great stories.

Walking this world alone is no easy feat. Being a broken soul trying to put yourself back together, a better version of your previous self. Jesse and Amber have an immediate attraction...a pull towards each other that is undeniable...time stands still. With the shadows of the past lurking in the distance, uneasiness in the now and fear of the future these two souls come together as one and as the song goes "you knew me best" and that's Jesse and Amber. They saw the beauty in each other all the while being each other's greatest strength.

Jo has done it again!!! Jesse is just as loveable as the other boys! Jesse and Amber make a great couple. It was great to see them help each other out. I love all the little things Jesse does for Amber. Can't wait for the next book!!

The characters are so deep and well written. This whole series rocks but the books are stand on their own. All the characters are damaged but how these wonderful redeeming qualities. You won't regret reading any of these books.

This was my first time to read a book by Jo Raven. I had a little trouble getting into this book. The beginning was a little to dark and redundant for me but I sure am glad I stuck with it. The story line picked up and I was hooked. Now I will be checking out Ms. Raven's other books.

I was gifted this book as ARC by the other for an honest review. All I have to say is WOW. Jo has done it again in writing a great book. She writes about a guy that has been underprivileged Zane. Then falls for the girl. This book is a little dark but well written.

Absolutely love, love, love these guys. The unbreakable bond they all have in their troubled souls. Each story gets better and better. JJ and Embers how cute are they? Two souls that seek each other with difficulty for both to trust in others. Finally they see it was meant to be. Another great one Jo Raven.

I have read all the books from the other series and now I am reading the Damaged Boys. Coach's story was really good and they just keep getting better. Jesse and Amber was a really good story. Can't wait for the other boys.

jo knows how to write books. How to get us so excited we can't sit still. How we melt and moan when we read her books. If you haven't already read jo's book you will regret it for the rest of your life. jo knows a Lot But she definitely know how to write about men.

Wow I really like this story. I identify with Amber so much in the sense of the anti-social behaviour, the nervousness of going out meeting new people, being in crowds, panic attacks going to gatherings, the insecurities of dating and the common feeling between Amber and Jesse no attachment to others, always expecting for people to leave them. Jesse is such a heartbreaker and not because of his looks and charisma to attract women, but for the life he had to endure since a child. The topics of homeless, foster children, child prostitution and bullying are so heartbreaking and so realistic. It makes you see people in a different way. Love how Jesse and Amber come together another perfect couple.

This story is full of passion and heartache. Amber moves back to Madison after her trouble past makes her leave. When she goes to be with her best friend Evangeline she is hoping for some piece, to put everything behind her, and to show her parents she can do it. What she doesn't expect is a crazy roommate a party and Jesse the man-whore. However Jesse has a past too and it isn't all sunshine and roses. These two will butt heads like there is no tomorrow. But for Jesse all he sees is her and he will manage to get under her skin more than anyone else she knows. Can two people with trouble past get through their heartache to be together? Can Jesse move past everything and see that he now has a family that loves him? Only this story will tell and so will Jessie and Amber.

Who else but Jo Raven can make a heartbreaking story about a lost and broken couple uplifting? By the time you're done reading this book it has you believing in happily ever afters. Jesse is freaking hot, sexy and arrogant but it covers up his insecurities. We would never believe someone like him would have self esteem issues. Amber is as real as you can get. What woman doesn't have scars from a lot to a spot of bullying in their life. Clever Jo gives us characters we can not only relate to but fall in love with. Can't wait to read Seth if my family wouldn't stage an intervention, I would binge read the entire series.

**ARC received in exchange for an honest review**
Another amazing read in the Damaged Control series. I found myself falling for Jesse just how I have fell in love with all the Ink Brotherhood, and Micah. I am so happy he and Amber find each other. Their journey is long and hard with serious topics but it is also strong, loyal, and loving. They compliment each other beautifully. I love all of Jo Raven's Boyz and I can't wait to see who she writes about next! Highly recommend, you won't be able to put it down!

Jesse is my favorite Damaged Boy. He breaks my heart with how he views himself, I just want to hug him and tell him everything will be okay. Jesse and Amber are a perfect match for each other, both damaged in their own way and slowly they put each other back together. Love this series and I can't wait to see what happens with the rest of the boys.

You know I loved this book because at the end I was screaming for more.

Jo Raven never disappoints when she puts pen to paper. This story is so real with lots of feels!! you will just want to hug and kiss poor Jesse. I laughed, I cried and I loved it!! Both Amber and Jesse have bad things that happened in their past. They have to try to get past them and they help each other do that. This book was sweet, loving and HOT!! You won't be disappointed!!

This series is incredibly written. Jesse is another lost soul. His past is built from pain and loss. Amber's past is built on fear, self loathing. Both need healed, they need each other. But sometimes what we need takes work, trust and faith. They'll need to work for that first.

Jesse(JJ) and Amber(Embers) are two damaged souls looking for something and find it in each other. Embers is scarred by childhood issues that have decimated her self-esteem and given her social anxiety issues. Having returned home after years away she hopes that thus time she will be able to push through her past issues and finally come to terms with who she is and find happiness. JJ has scars that run deep. Forced to do things on the streets to survive he now has to deal with physiological pain those scars have left behind. Both have trust issues in their own rights and when their bonds are tested will they find the strength in themselves and each other to fight for love?
