Carrie Anne Ryan writes great books that stand on their own but also help to flesh out the world that all her intertwined stories exist in. She is one of my favorite cozy Sunday afternoon/relaxing beach day reads. All of her books are must reads for me. ( )

Callie has a fulfilling life with amazing friends, and a job she loves, but lately she’s felt…listless. She knows something is missing, but what? When Morgan McAllister walks into Montgomery Ink, she’s immediately attracted. Too bad her first impression of the guy is not a pleasant one. She’s determined to give him a tattoo to be proud of and send him on his way, but fate appears to have other plans for the two.

When Callie was introduced in DELICATE INK, I hoped we’d be gifted with her own story. She was adorable and bubbly; I grew attached pretty quickly. I can confidently say Carrie Ann delivered an awesome story for her. FOREVER INK was a delicious novella with a gruff, growly dom and a sweet, bubbly, sexy heroine with lots of yummy sex mixed in.

“You say you’ve been a bad girl so I’m going to ruck up that little pleated skirt of yours and spank you until your ass is bright red. Then I’m going to fill that little hole with my cock so I can fuck you hard. You ready, girl?
*raises hand* Me! MY BODY IS READY. As you can see, he has a dirty, dirty mouth that I *ahem* really responded to. Morgan had many asshole moments, but I was able to overlook them because I related to the struggle he had with learning to be his true self when he spent most of his life trying to please his blue-blooded, snooty family. However, it did take a good minute for me to get over his asshole ways. Ultimately, by the end of the book he showed a lot of character growth which is more important to me disliking him at first.

All-in-all, FOREVER INK was a delightfully delicious erotic romance. If you love a smutty read with growly alpha males, sexy inked ladies, and a wicked happily ever after, give this book—THIS SERIES—a shot! ( )
