Lee and Chris have been best friends since elementary school.  For years, Lee’s allowed tattoo artist Chris to use his body as a canvas, hoping that one day Chris would see how he felt.  Instead, he has to watch Chris flit from guy to guy.  It doesn’t bother him too much, until Chris starts talking about tattooing his latest guy.  Will Chris ever see how Lee feels?

The Tattooed Heart is a sweet little tale of unrequited love and the lengths people will go to for love.  Lee, the stoic, tough-guy best friend, was so sweet in his gruff way I wanted to kick Chris for not seeing how he felt.  Chris is pretty oblivious.  He doesn’t see what’s right in front of his face until it’s well past obvious.  I was a bit disappointed in the way Chris finally clued in, but for the most part The Tattooed Heart is a sweet, quick, and enjoyable read.
