GRR Reviews The Permanence of Pain by Desiree Lafawn

Regina has the perfect voice for the perfect job: she's a female sales rep in the sex toy industry, and she's the sales leader in her company. She was devastated when her best female friend just confessed to her... via email, that she was doing her boyfriend Richard (Dick) behind her back. Unfortunately, this FORMER best friend is also a good client of the company. So Regina did the next best thing... handed off the good account to the next sales guy... who's a total douchebag. Regina needed something to remind her to stay strong, so she headed toward the tattoo shop, and met Beck. // Beck is a painter and a tattoo artist, and he helps people dealing with their pain, having suffered some major pain of his own. When Regina walked through the door, all he saw was the pain hidden behind her facade. But will his attempt to help her actually do her good... or send her over the edge?

I've seen the plot where TSTL jealousy mistaken impression leads to break up, then a total meltdown, but somehow that made the character famous, and that lead to the truth, so the character had to do a grand gesture to get the other MC back. This one is not bad. But not outstanding either. The "sex toy sales" angle was not used much other than some amusing chuckles.
