Seventeen-year-old Marilee Mackie has everything going for
her, beauty, money and a bright future. But when she’s diagnosed with Stage 3
Hodgkins Lymphoma her world falls apart. Instead of finishing her senior year
she begins the fight of her life.
Nineteen-year-old Jax, an enigmatic hospital orderly, lives
on the Strip, the proverbial other side of the tracks. With his edgy attitude,
sleeves of tattoos and rocker look, he’s the kind of bad boy that Marilee has
always steered clear of.
But when Marilee’s cancer strips every bit of her identity
away, leaving her a shadow of the person she once was, all the things that
mattered to her before no longer hold any meaning. Determined to make a
difference in the world before she dies, Marilee enlists Jax to help her with
something she calls the Peace Project, a way to use her college fund money to
help the people who need it the most on the Strip.
With Marilee’s money and Jax’s knowledge of the Strip, the
teenagers embark on an unforgettable journey. Where two people from completely
different worlds see that miracles do exist, and that the darkest cloud of your
life may be lined with the brightest rainbow.
Tattoos is a story about love, hope and the preconceived
notions and barriers that we put between us for no reason other than the way
someone looks or where they live. It’s about letting go of all the things that
we thought were important in the quest for our true purpose. And that sometimes
the people you never thought you could love, may be exactly who you needed all
along.
"Sexual content, recommended for older teens."

I was given a copy of Tattoos by Love Romance books for an honest review. Jax was a good character. The way he helped Marilee and the love that grew between them was wonderful. Although I love sad and sappy books, this one clung to my heart. Not many books can do that. I was crying while reading this book. I loved that miracle that occurred in this book. It was a beautiful story. I found joy and hope in it. There aren’t many people who are willing to help others. I loved that Jax helped Marilee to do something for others. This book helps you to see past barriers and stereotypes and I loved every minute of reading it. I give it 5 out of 5 stars!

She plans on writing until the stories run out,
something she hopes never happens.
