About this listen
“A man like him could never be tamed....”
Giovanni DeRose only came back to Las Vegas to work with his brothers in the legendary family tattoo studio. Instead, he’s found himself the leader of a sinking ship, thrown together with a gorgeous woman who won’t back down. But with the threat of closure if he doesn’t turn a profit ASAP, working alongside her may be his only option. Gio can do just about anything with his talented hands and bare skin, but this bad boy will need something different if he’s going to save Thorn....
Riley Bryne is an Irish lass that’s as smooth as whiskey - if you don’t mind the burn that comes along with it. As Thorn’s new co-manager she’s desperate to pull it back into the green to clear her own debt, but her numbers-focused tactics throws her up against her Gio’s art-centered direction.
Challenging the tattooed hunk is easy, but stopping herself falling for his smoldering touch? The odds don't look good.
Riley is business savvy and a little bit bossy - something Giovanni finds frustrating in the studio and hot as hell when he’s got her pinned to their office desk. But if Thorn Tattoo is going to survive they’ll need to combine not just their bodies, but their talents outside the bedroom, too.

Callum Griffin is the heir to the Irish mafia. He’s ruthless, arrogant, and he wants to kill me. We got off on the wrong foot when I set a (very small) fire in his house. Our families believe a marriage pact is the only thing that will prevent all-out warfare. I think I might need to murder him while he sleeps. This would all be a lot easier if Callum wasn’t so damned good-looking.

Sinclair Amadeus Sterling, a.k.a. Mr. Superior Jackass with a God complex. Who also happens to be my blackmailer...gulp. Tall, dark, gazillionaire growly pants. The first time I met him, I kneed him in his very well endowed balls - don't ask! He had that tightly leashed, controlling air and a smoldering glare that made me damp in seconds. The only thing that sucks worse than his attitude is his (lack of) sense of humor! Honest. Sadly, he's also the one who could save my business from going bust. Hell!

I had a plan: Sign a contract, and board a plane to Ibiza. The anonymous deal would salvage the smoldering wreckage of my life. It would not involve billionaire Harrison King, the reason I need saving in the first place. He’s as beautiful as he is cruel. A British business titan who makes a living getting what he wants. The man flies private. Dates supermodels. But the crisp accent and cocky smirk don’t fool me. He’s a gentleman on the outside, a savage beneath. Dangerous, rough, and brutal.

An immovable force meets a force of nature.
An immovable force meets a force of nature. Sparks fly in this battle of the tattoo artist and the headstrong temptress. Ms. North picked a super title for this prickly couple. From the most stubborn of thorns Riley and Gio created something beautiful. Animosity bloomed like the most sensuous of buds and became as breathtaking as a rose.

Geo and Riley are incredible. The sparks fly and dialogue snaps. Perfect book to settle in with. I enjoyed every minute (minus one nasty fall, I could have lived without) Highly recommend! I can't wait to look for other books in the series.

Gread story! I love tattoo shop stories!
This is the first book in the Thorn Tattoo Studio. I love tattoo shop stories. Besides the love story, Leslie North added a lot of information about this Art. It's really interesting and well written! I love the two main characters, Riley Bryne and Giovanni DeRose, they are great together. It was my first E.M. Carberry's listen and the narration was great. I'm looking forward to read/listen the second book in the Series.

The narrators voice wasn't really believable to me as a female voice. That being said by the end I had gotten around it.

Gio and Riley
From the first meet, Gio and Riley clash but their chemistry does not let them stay away from each other. They are both complex characters and a contradiction as it is revealed throughout the story, but it works, they mesh so well. A good set of secondary characters that add to the story. It was an interesting and informative look into the tattoo artistry world. I liked the flow of the story, some tension, a bit of drama, steamy scenes and it ends in HEA, I enjoyed listening to it. Looking forward to the next story.
New voice for me, Mr. Carberry is a good fit for Gio's temperament. It is flexible to differentiate the many male characters, not so much for female ones, but that didn't take away from the story. I will check his other works for sure.

Brilliant as always
I've listened to a lot of books by this author and I've cone to expect a great book, and this book delivers exactly that.
This story had me laughing out loud and feeling right along with the characters.
I loved the slow build of the relationship between Giovanni and Riley, I thought it made the story realistic and the tension between them was a lot of fun. The mystery of Riley's past also added another great element to the book.
I really enjoyed listening to it, the narrator did a great job with the character voices and conveying emotions.
I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.
