Micah

Damage Control, Book 1

By: Jo Raven

Narrated by: Tad Branson, Erin Mallon

Meet the Damage Control boys—set in the world of the best-selling series Inked Brotherhood.

There's me: Micah Owens. Tattoo artist at Damage Control. No parents or siblings. A past that still gives me nightmares.

And then there's her: Evangeline, the girl who saved my life and haunts my more pleasant dreams. Only she doesn't know who I really am, and telling her might well send her fleeing for the hills. She deserves better than a loser like me. She's pretty. She's clever. She's goddamn sexy and has a heart of gold.

Which is why I can't tell her. A smile from her and I'll do all I can to make her mine—including pretending to be someone I'm not, someone worth having.

Isn't love weird?

Note: This is a stand-alone novel. No cliff-hanger.

Warning: This audiobook contains graphic language, sex, and violence. Mature listeners only. Not intended for young listeners.

Sweet spin off

This is a pretty sweet spin off and we get to know the damaged boys a little better, I feel like things were resolved a little to nice and neatly with the ex but other wise it was a good story with good narrators.

good story but predictable

Micah was an interesting character. his background story was dark but understandable given his parent situation. Ev was different. she was strong to help others but weak towards her family. I'm not sure if I liked that or not. the storyline was believable to an extent. u don't make the decision to move out from ur parents without already having another place to live lined up. that's unrealistic.

A match that worked

Micah and Evangeline are an unlikely match, and that dynamic intrigued me when I checked out this book. I wanted to see where the author would take this pairing, and how they would get there. Presenting Micah with his past and the similar past of his friends around him, plays out in my mind even after finishing the book. I love the direction this author took it. I look forward to exploring the others in the series to see how their stories come together.

I enjoyed the audiobook version, but must say, the use of the word f*** continually by Micah was something that made me cringe. I don’t think I would have noticed it as much had I been reading it myself, but the vocalization so often became almost annoying, like there wasn’t any other word he used as expression. Just my opinion.

Good start to the extended series!

I enjoy this one more than the last one in the sense that I love the girl a lot! The boy had his issues and she was so patient even with her own stress and worries. The narrators were great and I am looking forward to another book by this author. Also this was nice too because you hear about these guys in the other books and now you can know their story.. I love when there is a book for all the buddies.

confused

it was a good story and you learned a lot about the 2 main characters, but you didn't really meet any of the other people. in the first series you got to meet more of the people in each story. it didn't just focus on one couple. so I was a little confused about some of the story line. but once I check things closer I realized this was the beginning of the second series. i only gave it 4 stars because I felt she could of had more interaction with other characters.
