Gorgeous looking books, and while at first I thought these might be paranormal (due to the mysterious covers and titles), I’m thinking this is 100% new adult. Characters with dark pasts, guarded hearts, personal walls and… tattoos!
She works across the street from a tattoo parlor, and is drawn to the hottie tattoo artist. Who can blame her. 😉
About book #1:
Tenley Page is looking for a new start: a new city, a new apartment, a new life. Her plan is to keep to herself and stay focused. But leaving her past behind and starting over isn’t as easy as she thought. And neither is maintaining her solitude. As Tenley settles into her new surroundings, she finds herself drawn to Inked Armor, the tattoo studio across the street. But it’s the gorgeous, dark-haired tattoo artist who captures her interest. There’s something about his severe beauty that captivates her—and not just in her waking hours.
Covered in the ink he inscribes on other people’s skin, Hayden Stryker has made a career out of being a tattooist. He’s got his own business and a tight circle of friends. As far as he’s concerned, that’s all he needs. At least until his aunt, who owns the antiques and used book store across from his tattoo studio, hires a new employee. At first his intrigue is based on physical appeal; hot chick equals something nice to look at. But as he begins to catch glimpses of the fiery personality under the fragile, feminine exterior, his fascination with Tenley grows. Annoyed by his inability to control his fixation, Hayden decides the best way to cure him of the new obsession is to get to know the girl under her skittish façade.
But like the ink he wears as armor, Tenley has the ability to get under his skin and stay there.

I’ve read the novella and the first book and I am hooked!! Cannot wait to read the rest. I think that you will really like them, they are full of angst and lots of delicious tattooed boys!
Yes ma’am!!!! Melissa… that sounds right up my alley!! 😀
I have bought “clipped wings” do I need to read cupcakes and ink first?
I just realized I missed the release of the last book (Chris’s book). I love this series,
This was a good one! My only complaint was the second book was a little to drawn out.
