Nash and Jenna's Story . . .

Nash Nelson and Jenna Murphy are tattoo artists at Inked Redemption with an unusual relationship that seems closer to antagonism rather than friendship. Perhaps the competition to be the best brings it out, but the two of them bicker and snarl at each other, although his snark stays on the teasing side. Yet Nash feels attracted to her despite the “trouble” vibe she sends out. But the 15-year age gap and being coworkers makes it a bad idea to make a move on her. He slightly grinned at her outfit as she stepped out of her car and she cursed and threatened him in a rage as she assumed (incorrectly) that he was making fun of her. He tried to lighten things up, complimenting the cupcakes on her exposed bra strap while she snarled about his life in the nursing home because he was an old man. Her comments have bite. She has a terrible temper and a foul mouth when she gets started! And even after a year, she hasn’t built up her client list the way she had anticipated. It’s time for her to go out and find an adventure to get rid of her dismal attitude, a road trip of some sort. So her friend suggests taking her coworker with her for protection, despite claiming she hates him.

Nash joins Jenna and her friends at a bar for a drink. She gets drunk, inviting him to take her home. She was not expecting the perfect gentleman he was. He told her she was his, but he would not touch her until she knew what she was choosing. When she comes in to work looking upset, Nash takes her to lunch to get her to talk. Her landlord just sold the building and she has 2 weeks to get out. And maybe she should just move on? So Nash asked her about the road trip, offering to put her stuff in his garage and move in with him until she finds an apartment. But they both need a road trip. And she can decide what she wants to do after that. Can he show her the man he truly is? And that he wants to have her in his life if she will allow it?

The sparks between Jenna and Nash have been flying since they met. Their fiery interactions only heat up as they let down their guards and get to know each other better.

Great fast read from the start.

Nash and Jenna are both tattoo artists. Their friendship is unusual, they fight like they hate each other but deep down they like each other. Jenna always feels shes trying to prove herself but Nash is always giving her conpliments.
One day Jenna goes to work upset and Nash senses it. He finds out her apartment building is being torn down and she needs to move. She also feels she needs to move on. Nash suggusted they go on a mini vacation to get out of town for a few days. She reluctantly agrees.to go with him. Their banter at work changes while on their mini get away.
Once home he asks her to move in prematurely and even though its quick to marry him and spend the rest of her life with him. She agrees and couldn't be happier.

Nash is the fifth book in the Mountain Men of Scarlett Ridge series. It is a short and super steamy, age-gap, enemies-to-lovers, curvy girl gets her mountain man romance. I think this book is my favorite in the series so far. Jenna is a young, curvy, punkish tattoo artist with a sharp tongue. Nash is the older,hunky mountain man and tattoo artist that gives Jenna a run for her money. Their witty banter had me laughing out loud from the start. Nash was so sweet on her from the beginning, and I think bit misunderstood. It was nice to see Jenna let her guard down a bit and start to let him in. Their chemistry was off the charts, and we got a great HEA. I think Nash is my new book boyfriend. I loved it!.

MMC/FMC- Nash and Jenna
POV- 1st person dual
Genre- Contemporary Romance
Heat- they do the thing seven times and name the parts
Standalone? Y
Cliffhanger? N
Cheating? N
HEA/HFN? HEA all the way
Triggers- language, explicit erotic content
Tropes- Inkslingers, Hate To Love You/Love To Hate You, Workplace Romance, Redneck Riviera, Orgasmic Gardening
What I liked- The Hero and heroine actually communicated! They were willing to talk about their feelings. That’s refreshing.
What I didn’t- not much. I’d have liked some more scenes in the tattoo studio, but then again, that might have thrown off the balance of the book.
Verdict- recommended. This book is both cute and steamy.

Nash and Jenna are tattoo artists at Inked Redemption, constantly irritating each other. He secretly loves everything about her but they both have backstories of failed relationships with spouses and parents so neither wants to start anything. When need arises, they both end up on a road trip that turns their relationship around. The character were terrific before in the series and now they are fully developed into a heartwarming couple. The storyline was so fun with comebacks and the feelings are so strong as they learn how the other feels. Loved their chemistry and strength to move forward. The ending was perfect and I think it is my favorite so far in the series.

This is book five in the series but can be read as a complete standalone. I have been waiting for Jenna and Nash's story and it doesn't disappoint.

Jenna is in her 20's she has sworn off relationships as everyone she knows ib them has been so unhappy, especially her parents. She is feeling restless and her self belief is fading at work. Her one high point is the fiery back and forth she shares with Nadh the sexy older (40s) tattoo artist that loves to wind her up. When he becomes her confident things change very quickly.

So much fun banter, steam and ofcourse a beautiful HEA.

I loved Nash: A Mountain Man Curvy Girl Age Gap Short Instalove Romance Book 5 of Mountain Men of Scarlet Ridge. Nash and Jenna live to push each others buttons. This is the perfect example of there’s a fine line between love and hate. I loved the storyline and the characters. Most people think Jenna is to much but not Nash, he loves her just the way she is. Now he just has to convince her. I would definitely recommend this book and the series.

I absolutely devoured this book! I received Hendrix's story as an ARC and couldn't wait to read Nash and Jenna's.

I love the tension, the banter, the hate that's not really hate. Jenna is so guarded after witnessing her parents awful marriage and she's sworn of relationships, Nash has been addicted since the second he saw her

Will they make it to their happily ever after? Maybe a beach trip and a bit of bonding will help them along.

We have seen snippets of Nash and Jenna’s interaction from the other books of Ink Redemption artists. I will say I am pleasantly surprised at how their story turned out. Nash is a tattoo artist with 20 years experience and Jenna is a newer artist with 5 years experience. There is a lot of chemistry and sexual tension between these two. This entire series has been enjoyable I think Nash is my favorite character so far. Expect steam age gap romance, attraction and chemistry.

This was another fun addition to the series and this time it's Nash and Jenna's turn to find love. These two are coworkers and have quite the witty banter going on between them. I giggled away quite a few times as I followed them along ;) Nash was so into Jenna and finally, she was able to let her guard down a bit and let him sneak in ;P Expect a steamy age gap romance with a lot of humour to have you fully entertained and looking forward to more. Good fun!

Nash calls her cupcake and Jenna calls him an as-hole

These two the most unlikely lovers. They bicker and banter constantly but it's all by in snarky fun. Nash never wanted anything serious till Jenna blew into Inked Redemption. When she loses her apartment he finally steps up and takes a chance at more. Sure he's older but he's so taken with Jenna he finds her fiery temperament and caring heart irresistible.

Nash and Jenna made a hot couple. Baggage kept Jenna seeing Nash for the good person he was. Nash’s feelings for Jenna and maturity kept him patient. Until circumstances aligned for them to spend time together. Wow!! A good one.

[Michele · Rating 4 out of 5]

An age gap co-worker romance that starts off enemies to lovers with a lot of built up tension that is one sided. Enjoyed the characters and the small jealousy that was undeserving since Nash always tried to be supportive. Liked how easily he defused his cupcake with unexpected moments.

He comes in as a new employee at a tattoo shop and she thinks he has been taking her clients. This is a fun story. The chemistry is there but she doesn't want to acknowledge it.

Another short and sexy mountain man romance from REN Booth. If you are a fan of the mountain men of Scarlet Ridge, this book won’t disappoint.

It instalove for Jenna and Nash as they enjoy a beach getaway and he is her knight in Shining armour when she needs a place to live.

Even though she calls him an asshole, they have flirty banter and this book packs the heat. I really enjoyed this romance and can’t wait to read more from Ren Booth soon.

I’m loving this series with all of these sexy guys from Inked Redemption Nash has it bad for his co- worker Jenna but Jenna just insults him not that Nash doesn’t deserve it, even though Jenna finds him infuriatingly attractive she wouldn’t dare say anything to him. I loved this story and the characters and I highly recommend this book/ series.

The author has given us a wonderful older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Nash and Jenna. The story keeps us turning the pages with desire, banter, fears and steam.
