Report For Booty by Jayne Rylon - Almost three years ago a quirky woman with a love for tattoo’s, piercings and colored hair was in love with a man who was in the military. She thought he was the one, but when he got his orders to deploy he broke her heart by breaking up with her before leaving because he didnt want her to grieve over him if something happened to him. Fast forward 3 years and a tattoo shop becomes that catalyst that brings these two back together.

Inked Memories by PG Forte – I think we’ve all seen the picture that went around on FB about the woman that had a double mastectomy and had a tattoo done across her chest. This could be that story. It’s heartbreaking not only in the sense of how a woman feels after losing a part of herself but also the hero was the last living member in his family after losing everyone in Katrina including his twin brother. Bring a box of tissue for this one.

To The Bone by RG Alexander The new owner of Midnight Ink (the Tattoo show featured in all the books) is at a crossroads in his life. Up until this point he was in band since high school but got burnt out on the scene, even though music is still his passion and he is never without his guitar strapped to his back. When he sees a woman looking very nervous to go into the tattoo shop he is instantly smitten and sees her as his muse to start writing again. It turns out the woman is Etta Santos who used to have a crush on him in high school. She left New Orleans and is back on vacation looking to put some of her painful past behind her, but she cannot believe that Christopher Ryder is interested in her. Christopher is ready to finally commit to one woman but the woman he had chosen even though she is still fascinated with him hasn’t let go of her baggage enough to totally trust him not matter how sincere he is.
