Tattooed Dots is about love, but the pressure on love was decidedly low key and more about accepting the risk of what may come. It's all inner struggle.
Easton Crawford put his modeling career on hold to fight his wife in a bitter custody battle over their daughter Cheyenne. On the final day of the trial, his wife died in a tragic car accident. Years later, he and his godbrother Avery co-own the hot new Halo Bar. Easton only does casual hookups, not yet seeking a mother for his little girl, but he sensed time is running out. Then Avery surprised him by sending both of them to a Singles Cruise, where they ran into Brooke and her bestie, and Easton was hooked on Brooke. Brooke was celebrating her 30th and her bestie got her to go on a cruise (only later revealing it's a singles cruise) When Brooke's shoulder pain (from before the cruise) was diagnosed to be a tumor, Easton was right there to hold her hand... But is Easton only there in passing, or is there a happily ever after in store for them?
The chemistry between Easton and Brooke was never quite explained. And even though Singles Cruise is hook-up city, Easton only has eyes on Brooke, but they didn't quite hooked up there, just cuddled. Still, both characters were drawn nicely, both with their issues (Easton with his daughter and dead wife, Brooke with her douchebag BF who cares more about COD than her) so the romance can work, but it doesn't feel very emotional except for "OMG is the tumor cancerous?"
