After ten years of blissful marriage, Navy Pilot Nate Chandler is divorcing his cheating husband. Single for the first time in years, Nate is numb to all emotion and kisses any chance of another relationship goodbye.
Not only is Nate struggling to get through this divorce, but his body is branded with a permanent reminder of his failed marriage: a matching tattoo with his ex. Searching for a place to cover up his old tattoo, Nate finds himself at the Skin Deep, Inc., where he meets the young and charming cover-up tattoo apprentice, Lucas Brandt.
From just flirty glances to steamy hot encounters, Nate and Lucas dive headfirst into a fling of hookups. But worried that he’ll forever be Nate’s “cover up” rebound relationship, Lucas fears that their love won’t be anything more than just skin deep. What was once just a casual attraction, Lucas now hopes to turn into a real relationship. But will he be able to convince the still tender-hearted Nate to fall in love again?
Third installment of L.A. Witt’s Skin Deep romance series, COVER UP is a story of passion, pleasure, and happily ever after.

I really enjoyed this book. Although it is part of a series, I didn’t read the first or second (but I want to now!) and that didn’t hinder my reading experience or the story line.
A lot of times books are one main character or the other unwilling to get into a relationship. For a myriad of reasons. This time it was BOTH main characters who weren’t looking for anything serious. But it snuck up on them and found them anyway.
Instead of one guy chipping away at the proverbial wall around the other’s heart, they are both content to continue as they are. Until they both realize that there is way more to what is happening than a convenient hook up. They enjoy each other, spending time together, hanging out together. Neither was pushing the other away in fear. It was refreshing.
They were romantic without meaning to be and sexy as hell. There is a lot of sex in this book. A LOT. But it wasn’t repetitive or boring.
Naturally there comes conflict. But the conflict was so….mature. Not a big dramatic fight. No giant misunderstanding. It was really well thought out and well written.
A good read that I would absolutely recommend. Both main characters are just so, normal, I guess. But that isn’t a great word for them. One works three jobs to pay the bills, the other is recently divorced. That is life. People have things going on. I appreciate that in a book.
