It was the perfect declaration of love for a woman like Iris. He knows those words mean something to her. It’s what she’s been made to feel like a waste of time. When Dex says, “You are not a waste of time to me” it’s because he knows it’s what Ris thinks she is. It does require the ability to read the subtext though. She writes about men who show their love in actions, and less in words. I can tell you, it’s probably the number one reason I love this authors books. When the gruff hero becomes tender, it feels so much more meaningful, I guess. I adore brooding, gruff, tattooed love interests, so I fell crazy in love with Dex right along with Ris. Each chapter filled my stomach with butterflies and bumblebees. For being one of her earlier books, you can still sense the amount of talent she has. Under Locke was another really excellent story. In completion, Zapata has become my newest favorite author. I immediately searched for the tie in book, Under Locke. However, in Kulti, the scene at the tattoo parlor felt too important. In Wall of Winnipeg and Me, the overlapping story wasn’t obvious. If I’d known I would have read them in publication order. So, it turns out Mariana Zapata overlaps her stories.
