"Leni Brewster should have been disappointed when her twin sister had to bail on holding her hand during her first tattoo, but going to her appointment solo means time alone with the sexy-as-hell tattoo artist who falls into the Dot Not Touch category two-fold.

Only Jamie Rodriguez isn't as off-limits as Leni thinks. Privately single for months, Jamie finds himself more than looking forward to having the hot little librarian in his chair. And when she accidentally reveals a naughty secret about herself, he can’t get his hands on her fast enough–he has to find out what else she’s hiding under that buttoned-up exterior of hers.

What he discovers sets his blood to boiling, igniting a burning determination to test every single one of the boundaries, both personal and physical, that she’s set for herself."  ~ From Goodreads

Ink Lust brings together a hot, bad boy tattoo artist, a naughty librarian and wicked hot chemistry! Jayne Kingston has found  her place among my favorite erotic romance authors - she not only talented writer but she knows how to entertain, ignite some fire and create a sexy story in 60+ pages that will never make you look at a tattooed hunk the same way.

Jamie is tattooed, pierced, intense and not afraid of commitment - be still my beating heart - add to that tall, dark and handsome and we have a serious case of book boyfriend crush! Oh how I wish my tattoo artist had had the same qualities. ;)

Leni is adorable on the outside, prim, proper and chic and a librarian to boot - and then she's tattooed and pierced under all the clothes. I love that juxtaposition! As does Jamie, who can't get enough of figuring out the mystery that is Leni. And as a reader I was right there with him.

No need to look for hotter romance! The chemistry is there from page one on and doesn't let up, Jamie's the intensity, Leni the voice of reason... and what do you know there seems to be a lot of reasons to hook up after the sizzling chemistry just gets too potent. The sex is wicked, Jamie has a little wild streak and Leni's nipple piercing drive him nuts, he's also into a little pain ( evident by the HolyWTF piercing he has ) and it turns out so is Leni. The romance is hot, it's intense and there is a lot of it!

Top 3 Likes : Seriously hot hero, The heroine is a Librarian (!) and plenty of yummy tattoo stuff!

Top 3 Dislikes : I got nothing... sorry. ;)

INK WEEKEND SPOTLIGHT - GOD OF ECSTACY ( #GIVEAWAY )

"Jaime Leighton has had some pretty unremarkable sex in her lifetime. So when she rubs a bottle of wine and a hot, half-naked tattooed man appears in her bathtub, offering three fantasies, he's pretty hard to resist. 

Dionysus claims to be the Greek god of ecstasy, wine and madness - and he can breathe underwater. Thus begins the best three nights of Jaime's life. They also turn out to be the most dangerous, when the evil djinn who cursed her new sex partner attacks. 

Now Jaime must come to terms with her growing feelings for the god and break the magic spell inked into his arms before the djinn snatches away both her love and her life."

"Jakuta Dagbo knows bad weather’s approaching, even though the sky above the faie world is clear. And when Gràinne Bairdie walks into The Midnight Café wanting an arcane tattoo, he realizes the tempest raging into his life has nothing to do with wind and rain.

What she’s trying to do will bring the wrath of the Banshee Council down on her head, and she knows they’ll do anything to stop her.

Yet, as Gràinne and Jakuta peel back the layers of their lives, searching for the answers she needs, they can’t ignore the lightning-hot passion searing their blood. And when emotion reaches its apex, demanding complete surrender to the cyclone of desire, neither can resist. Even if it means Gràinne’s banshee wail of release will be her last."

"By night, Mandi is a waitress in her best friend’s adult entertainment club, complete with long raven hair and bright blue eyes. By day, she’s a boutique jewelry maker with a flair for the occasional naughty design. She’s shy, quiet, a definitive Plain Jane—and completely in lust with the one man who wouldn’t ever be interested in her. He’s big, menacing, and inspires every one of her dirty girl desires. If birthday wishes came true, he would be hers.

Tattoo artist. Business owner. Lover of vintage cars. Drummer. Jaz is far from the average guy. Built like a brick wall and inked from head to toe, he can scare the faint of heart with just a look, but faint of heart isn’t what interests him, isn’t what fuels his fantasies and keeps him hard from dawn to dusk. It’s her—the waitress, his sister’s friend, the birthday girl.

Mandi is given the best present ever—Jaz. And she’s got one night to make every wicked thought and erotic dream she’s had about him come true."

A Romantica® paranormal erotic romance from Ellora's Cave

Publisher’s Note: This book was previously published elsewhere under this title in 2010, but has been revised for Ellora's Cave.

      She’d almost made it to the next section when a familiar face grabbed her attention. He was wearing tight jeans and a black t-shirt instead of the suit that she’d grown accustomed to seeing him in, but there was no mistaking his smile. Or his lean, muscular physique.

      As if hearing her thoughts, he looked up. His gaze caught hers for a second before he began making his way toward her.

      “Isabella.”

      “A—” Realizing she was about to call him Agent Phinney, she stopped and shook her head to clear it. “Um, Jacob. This is a surprise.” She couldn't help but wonder how he’d gotten past the guards.

      He smiled rakishly as he ran his fingers through his short black hair. It was a gesture she’d become endeared to over the past six months. “I know, small world.”

      “What are you doing here?” She’d expected to see him, but not until the bust had gone down. And, try as she might, she couldn't think of a single good reason for him to be at the bazaar. Admittedly it was difficult for her to think of anything at all given his proximity. He was so close she could smell the spicy mint of his shampoo and her arm would brush against his chest if she swayed ever so slightly.

      “I’m on a date.”

      The words snapped her out of her haze. He didn't seem to notice, though. He was too busy staring at the voluptuous redhead several people ahead of them whose singed fingertips hinted at fire manipulation.
That explained security. With someone like her as a date, they’d have let him through, no questions asked.

      “Funny, she isn't what I’d imagined as your type.” Izzy realized that he could never be hers, not really, but she didn't like the idea of him being with someone else. Especially when that someone could manipulate fire. In her experience, pyros were one of the more dangerous types. They tended to run hot in all things—including their emotions. “She looks kind of dangerous.”

      “Although I do go for the dangerous type,” he whispered with a playful wink, “you’re right. She just happened to be in the right place at the right time—here.”

      Hearing his words, a possible reason for his presence became painfully clear. “Wait. Are you checking up on me?”

      He looked genuinely hurt. “I thought you knew me better than that. I’m here as backup, nothing more,” he whispered softly.

      He’s human, he’s human, he’s human…The warning echoed softly in the recesses of her mind. But as his fingers tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear, it faded into silence.

      “I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to you on my watch,” he said.

But she’s found that sometimes, like when you’re stuck inside because of a good old-fashioned Southwestern heat wave, you have to make do. Fortunately for her and her loving family, who don’t like seeing her suffer from cabin fever, she’s found creating new people and places equally as fascinating. Also, you’re a lot less likely to spill your ice tea.
