Permanent Lines - Ashley Wilcox

I want to give a huge shout out to ACS Tours for hosting this blog tour and allowing us to be a part of this amazing journey.

Book Synopsis –

Merrick Drake.

Bartender, dirt bike racer, and far from settling down…until that one race, and that one girl that changed everything.

Amelia Driscoll.

Amelia took Merrick by surprise, bringing out emotions that he never knew existed. Amelia stole his heart…

Only to break it.

When fate puts Merrick and Amelia back together, it doesn’t come without a price- it comes with vengeance, determination, and putting his life on the line for the one he loves.

But, how much is Merrick willing to put on the line to have a future with no reason to hide? In the end, fate will decide...

Who's permanent.

Melissa's Review -

Let me just start off by saying - Ashley Wilcox is an AMAZING writer!!!

We first met Merrick Drake in Running from Forever. It isnt really necessary for you to read the previous Forever series books in order to read this one but I would definitely recommend you doing so. Ashley's Forever series is one not to be missed. Also in doing so you will have a lot better of an understanding of Kayla and Merricks friendship. If you have read her previous books you'll know she writes some pretty happy romances with a little angst. Well, this is a complete opposite of those. This book has lots of angst... Murder, Mob Bosses, Underground Illegal activity, steamy sex & lots of love. I was very pleased with the outcome because it wasn't too over the top or too much angst. I’ve read the book twice because I always seem to pick up more the second time. And I wanted to feel that I did justice to this book on a review.

Now as for the Characters.

Oh, Merrick how I love thee. Ashley did an awesome job with the development of this character. Even if you haven’t met Merrick previous to this book there is just something about him that draws you in. At times I wanted to hug him and never let him go. I felt his heartbreak.

Amela, she was well developed sometimes I felt like I wasn’t really as connected to her as I was to Merrick but that is probably because I was already attached a little to him from meeting him in the previous books. When you first start the book I kind of hated her – I couldn’t understand why she would just go a disappear on Merrick. Well, you have a few chapters then you find out the reasons why. I am pleased she completely redeemed herself. She was willing to live a life she absolutely hated to keep Merrick safe.

This book starts off from Merrick's POV and at times you feel he's a little feminine - which he has an apology letter at the beginning explaining this. For me personally until I found out why Amelia ripped his heart out - I very much disliked her. But, she thankfully redeemed herself. You also get a bit of Miles (swoon) and Kayla - her and Merrick are very close and there is some major tension yet understanding between Miles and Merrick which if you read Running from Forever you will have a full understanding.

I can't say enough positive things about this book. Ashley did not disappoint with this one. The story flowed smoothly, plot was executed perfectly and just enough angst to keep you on the edge of your seat. I devoured this book in one sitting because I had to know what happened. This book left me wanting more.
