"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. ;)

Excerpt: Chapter 1

"He scared me. He thrilled me. And after one touch, all I could think about was getting more…

Makayla never thought she’d set foot in an underground mixed-martial arts club. But if anyone needs a medic on hand, it’s these guys. Trouble is, at her first sight of the club’s owner she’s the one feeling breathless.

All sleek muscle and restrained power, the man they call Torment plays to win at any cost. Whether it’s in the ring or in the bedroom, he knows exactly when to use a soft touch and when to launch a full-on assault. He always knows just how far he can push. And he’s about to tempt Makayla in ways she never imagined…"  ~ From Goodreads

Reading this story made me so giddy and so happy it's still hard to contain my excitement, days later! Where do I start? The story, Makayla's second job to pay off a debt collector brings her face to face with Torment, a sexy as hell tattooed MMA fighter who sets his sights on her and comes at her a subtle as the fighter he is. But jealousy and his violence scare Makayla, she seems to have the right things to say to calm him down, but with her own dark past with family violence is her attraction to Torment going to doom her yet again.

I loved Torment, he didn't just bring it to others but had a tormented past of his own. I loved the tall, dark and muscled looks on him, his hawk like focus on winning Makayla and his fascination with ropes and tying up Makayla when it came to sex, can you spell  hot! Torment's penchant for domination and some bondage was sexy as hell, while staying off the bdsm scene. I loved how captivated he was after tying her up wither on his motorcycle or his office desk... you could see he wanted something ever lasting with Makayla from day one on. But he did have a dark side, he was violent, but he knew how to control it, the was protective overly so but Makayla seemed to know how to control his toeing on the line behavior. He was bossy, arrogant and over protective but Maykayla was his perfect match, knowing how to get him off the ledge, or maybe he did all by himself. That side of him was very very interesting, as I've never read a hero before with serious over protectiveness issues.

I absolutely, definitely loved Makayla, she was funny as hell, She kept cracking me up left and right with her observations and her dry wit, of course her reactions to Torment were as hilarious as they come. With all the amusement in her, she still had darker side, even though she abhorred violence, literally it made her hurl, she had a side that handled Torment, she had some fighter in her though even if she chose to deny it and be as far away from it as she could. Of course working in Torment's unsanctioned MMA club didn't help and she was forced to change, to become who she was supposed to be, and that wasn't a girl afraid of some blood and action.

The romance was so beautiful - man I wanna read this book again! It was hot, the chemistry was perfect and Torment being an MMA fighter just added to the intensity of it all. The sex was hot, wither he was playing ropes with her or if it were just intense on it's own, so so yummy.

This should be a series, I am serious, could read twenty more of these! :D
