Lindsey 4 of 5 stars Miguel Ruiz believes his future is gone — he’s lost his dominant hand, his face is scarred, and he’s stuck working in a rundown club. Everything changes when a tattoo artist recognizes his talent and offers him a real chance to start over. Amit Baqri, bisexual, Deaf, and femme, has spent his life hiding parts of himself to survive within his conservative Muslim family while caring for his mother and sisters. Meeting Miguel — the scarred artist with a quiet strength — turns his world upside down. As their connection deepens, both men must confront the weight of their pasts and the expectations trapping them, hoping they can break free and build something real together. This was such a beautifully emotional story. Miguel and Amit’s connection is powerful from the start — two men carrying very different challenges, yet unable to resist the pull toward each other. Their chemistry feels both gentle and intense, and I loved how naturally their bond grew despite the weight of their pasts. The portrayal of their disabilities was especially well done: factual, respectful, and deeply human. It made their individual struggles — and their moments of joy — incredibly easy to feel and understand. I found myself emphasising so strongly with both of them, especially as they navigated family expectations, identity, and healing. I was genuinely thrilled to see everything work out not just for them, but for the people around them too. A heartfelt, moving read. This was an MM story with mature content. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07ZHGSDKF".
