![]() Our hero Vincent is almost an antihero with his constant stream of women and his totally bad ass and dirty ways. An unusual beginning but an emotional ending filled with hope. Written in a completely different style to what I'm used to from this author it took a while for this reader to actually begin to like the characters so to end up caring was a huge surprise! Yes this author is so good that she turned my opinion around one hundred and eighty degrees. Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books I found this book had a unique style of it's own. This is the third book in the Wicked Ink Chronicles series that features those who work at Wicked Ink tattoo studio. *Special thanks to Netgalley for the e-book given in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed this book more than anything I’ve read from Laura Wright and I will have to listen to the prior books in the series. I have read this author before with her PNR/UF series, but this particular book was really smooth. Don’t get it twisted, there was a good amount of sex in this one, but it didn’t over power the story. Both characters found the courage to make good changes in their life. We had what appeared to be a weak heroine Lisa and an aloof hero in Vincent, and they managed to grow by the end of the book. I thought it was a brilliant execution because this book fit in everything that I normally expect in a full size novel especially with regards to the plot and character development. This is probably one of the only novellas I’ve read that didn’t feature insta-love and I am amazed that the author wove a nice story in less than 100 pages. I found the writing to be very sexy and humorous. ![]() I just knew the over-sexed steez covered up some deep seated emotional baggage and so I was just waiting to get to the bottom of his need for multiple women. I know Vincent was probably annoying to many readers, but I found his antics very amusing. This is my first book in this series, and I think I will go and read the first two. ![]() Originally posted at Love Affair with an E-Reader Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review. I can’t wait to go back and start from the beginning and get more wicked goodness. Rebel Ink has whet my appetite for more Wicked Ink books. I will be waiting with bated breath for the next Wicked Ink book. Thank goodness there will be more of Vince and Lisa. It doesn’t feel rushed, although it does feel unfinished. I am impressed at how much emotional punch the author is able to deliver in such a short book. What Lisa provides is unconditional support, something Vince has never had before in his life. Vince and Lisa are thrown into this situation and have not even had a chance for insta-love. However, for Vince and Lisa, this is not the case. In a traditional romance, the hero is motivated by the heroine to overcome obstacles. We get to see what is underneath the layers and that is satisfying. It’s a reminder that underneath people’s bad behavior is often pain. When put into a situation to confront his horrific past, Vincent’s courage comes through. ![]() I was not certain this guy could be redeemable. I found him to be reprehensible and his manner revolting. Rebel Ink is the third book in the Wicked Ink series and my first read for these stories. If only a gorgeous tatted, foul-mouthed problem from my past would stop showing up and showing off what I’m never going to allow myself to have. I just want to fade into the Santa Barbara’s overly polished woodwork. In fact, she thinks she has to rescue me. And yes, it’s to ‘Buttons.’ I’m not embarrassed and I don’t think it’s a failure. Maybe I can finally get her - legs up and back to the mattress, that is. That’s right, another blast from my past. And who’s along for the ride? You’re never gonna believe it. But with one phone call that bliss is totally shot to shit. Hot chicks and cool ink have been my life, my everything, for the past five years.
