About this listen
Inked is an opposites attract romance with a dirty-talking tattoo artist, a curvy girl trying to outrun her past, and a stalker in the shadows.
EMILY ROSE
He’ll never stop looking for me.
That’s why I can’t afford to be tempted by a tattoo artist.
He wants to help me, but no one can.
The last person who tried woke up in the hospital.
I’ve accepted that there are no winners in this twisted game.
Only those who make it out alive.
CHARLIE
Miss prim and proper makes me want to break my number one rule.
Always keep things casual.
Only I can't seem to forget about her or the scar I inked over.
We both know she’s in trouble, but I’m nobody’s knight in shining armor.
Emily’s not the only one haunted by her past.
The only difference is I’ve already laid my demons to rest.
But maybe I’ll stick around and kill one more.
For her.
Readers are strongly advised to read the TW inside. Standalone romance with HEA and no OW drama or cliffhangers.

Story
He says he’s saved me from a fate worse than death. But all I see is a future that was stolen from me. Six months ago, my father promised me to the Bratva heir. My hand in marriage was meant to bridge the violence between our two families–Italian and Russian, mafia and Bratva–and bring peace. Then my father died. Now my godfather is my guardian. He believes the Bratva are ruthless animals, cruel and brutal, and that giving me over to them is signing my death warrant. So on my wedding day, he makes a fateful decision. He takes me for himself. Now I’m wed to the man who vowed to ...

Throw it in the bin, pour the alcohol on it, and light it up. Her career is O-V-E-R. On second thought, save the alcohol. It’ll be good for the pity-party later. Charlotte’s moved back home to sleepy (and so dang hot) rural East Texas to take care of her aging grandmother. And that means her life passion of archaeological digs and carbon-dating unearthed artifacts in exotic locales is at an end. Teaching high-school History is a job she could do blind-folded and hands-tied. Which is why, when a budding romance with her hot cop neighbor comes up, it’s the perfect distraction. But, when...

I like my sex dirty and disposable. I'm not into commitment or chicks who want more than one night. My brothers and club come first, second, and last. Until she walks into my life. Classy, rich, and so out of my league it's crazy. A week together should get her out of my system, but this good girl is so bad when we're all alone and I can't get enough of her. I don't do forever, but she's hooked me so bad I don't ever want to let her go. Except there's no way a princess can live in my world and I sure as hell won't live in hers . . .

Men like him don't notice women like me, and they don't date them. Until that one time that I catch him in a compromising position when I'm also in need of a last-minute date for a wedding...and then it's not a real one, simply a plus-one. It's blackmail.

Tropes/Triggers: violence, murder, death, profanity, reference to prior domestic abuse, including body shaming, crime and morally great characters, tattoos / piercings, explicit sex scenes including but not limited to: car sex, reverse cowgirl.
Format I read: Audiobook 🎧
Audio version: virtual voice narration/ai reading
Narrators and performance:
As far as AI readers go, this one wasn't horrible. If you just heard a few sentences out of context, you wouldn't have even been able to tell that it was AI. However, there was absolutely no difference between the different characters voices. Which made it a little harder to follow conversations when there were multiple people talking. Overall, not a deal breaker. I still finish the book, and I still enjoyed it. But I feel like the enjoyment was less than it would have been had we had real people reading the story.
1st person POV
The POV splits between Emily Rose's and Charlie's point of view
Pros of the Story 👍
- it's a cute little small town romance. Between a girl who was once in an abused relationship. And a jaded tattoo artist who grew up watching his father beat his mother.
- the story isn't too fast-paced, which you get with a lot of the spicy stories. You feel like the author just wants to rush to the sex scenes, but this one held out and was more of a slow burn. Which I absolutely love.
- right from the get-go, I absolutely loved Charlie's character. His crass way of talking and his utter bluntness, is exactly what I want in my book boyfriends lol
Cons of the Story 👎
- the author fell prey to one of my biggest pet peeves. She uses "shake" for both nodding and shaking their head no. I absolutely hate that. When someone nods their head that means they're saying "yes"! And when someone shakes their head that means they're saying "no". You do not shake your head in an up and down motion! When you shake it's side to side you cannot shake your head yes! Our author says the bgs like: "he shook his head yes."
NO!!!!
I absolutely hate that. With a passion! I cannot stress this enough. For that specific reason, the overall story lost a star because I feel as an author you should know the base definition of the words you're using. Other than that it was great! :-)
In summary 📝
8/10 would recommend. I feel like this is a nice little spicy story that has you really rooting for our main characters, Emily Rose and Charlie.
Aside from the pet peeve and the the fact that our main character kind of sounds like a child, I loved it!
