About this listen
The hardest thing a rebel can do isn't standing up for something - it's standing up for himself.
Life takes delight in stabbing Gus Scott in the back when he least expects it. After Gus spends years running from his past, present, and the dismal future every social worker predicted for him, karma delivers the one thing Gus could never - would never - turn his back on: a son from a one-night stand he'd had after a devastating breakup a few years ago.
Returning to San Francisco and to 415 Ink, his family's tattoo shop, gave him the perfect shelter to battle his personal demons and get himself together...until the firefighter who'd broken him walked back into Gus's life.
For Rey Montenegro, tattoo artist Gus Scott was an elusive brass ring, a glittering prize he hadn't the strength or flexibility to hold on to. Severing his relationship with the mercurial tattoo artist hurt, but Gus hadn't wanted the kind of domestic life Rey craved, leaving Rey with an aching chasm in his soul.
When Gus's life and world starts to unravel, Rey helps him pick up the pieces, and Gus wonders if that forever Rey wants is more than just a dream.

The prologue in this book is a perfect example. Ford turns the action ' A man wakes up-smells smoke- gets out of bed' into three-thousand words. Maybe some readers like getting the same action repeated with alternative word usages for five pages, but I was eye-rolling within the first minute and knew i'd made a mistake in purchasing this book.
I never discovered if there was a good story here because it was hidden among the paragraphs of pointless internal dialogue and repetitive description.
Can't win 'em all.
