Three silver fox tattoo artists…
Are about to turn the fantasies of one curvy librarian…

And Trick’s icy blue eyes burn with a fire that could melt steel.
Then there’s Hugo, whose dark intensity sends sparks down my spine.

All hell will break loose when Daddy finds out his angel is getting inked by his three best friends…
And one of them is my baby’s father.

But God, I’m ready to burn for these men that taste like heaven and sin.

this was basically just smut with a side of plot that made literally no sense. (and trust me I love a good smut book, the smut was not the issue here at all, i also love a smut book that has a good cohesive plot line) the beginning of the book mentions the creepy guy from the church like it's a major plot point, and then you just never see him again. also, the end of the book focuses so much on the mysterious buyer who just has to have Marie, and then that also is never mentioned again, and the book just ends. also I will say that the 3 love interest literally talk about how they watched this girl grow up and were around her a bunch when she was a literal CHILD. and I get that she's an adult in the book, and them thinking about her when she was a kid wasn't romanticized at all (which i appreciated), but she was not developed as a character enough for me to understand why they just had to have her so bad. like how do you fall in love with someone just based on eye sight when it's your best friends kid that you've know her entire life.

anyway I think I am over analyzing the plot of book titled inked daddies. if you like just smut and a reverse harem then this book is probably for you.

i also read this book as a part of a book club this was not a book I picked for myself so do with that what you will

Inked Daddies was a fast paced and largely easy read reverse harem romance about giving into an attraction that defied social expectations and finding your forever in it.

I found the main characters to be well characterised into their roles within the book’s plot and the romance’s dynamic. Maire was the soft and shy heroine to the heroes’ toughness with a quiet confidence and hidden feisty nature. Sam was the moody and broody boss who saw reason and whose dependable nature the group turned to. Hugo was a smooth and charming hero with an accent and a mild man of mystery persona that hid his affectionate side. Whilst Trick was the flirty and fun hero who brought laughter to every situation but had his own trauma and hidden violent streak that made him lose control and seek adrenaline. Whilst I liked the characters I don’t think there was much character development that evolved beyond the character archetypes they were put into at the start of the book. Which when combined with the plot’s pacing and limited epilogue felt like I was given only a snapshot into who these characters were rather than being given ample opportunity to learn it and see it evolve.

Sam, Hugo, and Trick had become the stars of Marie’s fantasies and desires. With an attraction she couldn’t ignore she had taken to using them as her muses in her writing and lived vicariously through her female characters. For Sam, Hugo, and Trick things were a little different. Having known Marie her whole life it was only when she became a beautiful woman and returned home unexpectedly 6 months prior that they began to pretend she didn’t exist in an attempt to ignore growing wants and desires. However a dangerous situation led to the giving in to temptation and the realisation of mutual attraction that started their forever. I found aspects of their romance development enjoyable such as the angst from the age gap and dad’s best friend’s trope and thought they had good chemistry both in and out of the bedroom. However with a fast paced plot and the main moments of their relationship focusing more on sexual chemistry and intimate scenes the romance felt lacking. I’ll be honest in saying that this is the kind of book which favours spice over plot and I was expecting that going into this but overall the feeling of there being something missing was too much to ignore and it did lessen my enjoyment a little.

Outside of the romance you had a suspense storyline which featured all the potential triggers in this book. It gave the book a darker tone in places but despite the nature of the triggers I don’t think it had an effect on the overall tone of the book. This storyline, like the romance, developed quickly and resolved just as fast with some aspects of it having never been revealed or fully solved. It was a plot device which added some suspense and angst to the romance but didn’t do much beyond that.

Inked Daddies had enjoyable elements and made for a good palate cleanser in terms of getting lost in a book for a few hours without it being to mentally taxing. I liked the characters and elements of their romance but the fast burn and fast paced secondary (to the romance) plot lessened my enjoyment.

This book review is based off the original Advanced Reader Copy I received prior to publication. In exchange for my honest opinion and review.

This is an open door explicit, why choose, father’s best friend’s, age gap book.
With a surprise pregnancy, and a large splash of suspense.

Some readers may find some of the content, and scenarios discussed in this book triggering. Please be aware of your triggers, and never be afraid to put a book down. It is okay, to not be okay.

This book is meant for mature readers only age 18 plus.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story line, and back stories of these characters.

We have Marie: A 26 year old librarian, and daughter of a preacher.
Who happens to have a deeply rooted secret that she hopes will not be discovered.

Then we have our leading Males.

Sam: Who is a stoic, broody, and the strategist of the three.
Hugo: Who is the observer, and tends to always notice what few others do.
Trick: Who is the Joker, and extrovert. He uses his charm as his armor.

They are all loyal, protective tattoo artists, and co-owners of Lethal Legacy Tattoo shop.
They have been friends with Preacher, Marie’s father, for the majority of her life.
Although she has not been that involved in theirs during that time frame.
He is in fact the Parish Preacher, and shares an extensive history with the men from Lethal Legacy.

Even though I enjoyed this book. It was a page turner. With characters that had good back stories, and decent depth to them. It had a decent amount of suspense. Without it being too over the top.


I found the advanced reader copy needing more editing, and adjusting.
Which I have notified the author, and made suggestions.
That I hope she will take into serious consideration, and implement changes prior to publication.
I would recommend this book even though it is only a 4 star book.
This is fairly high praise from me, because I am very stingy when it comes to star ratings in my reviews.

I am a fan of this author, and would definitely recommend reading the Venom Vultures MC series. That is also composed by this author.

Inked Daddies

Warning!

Spoilers ahead!

You have been warned.

.
.

Well, Marie is back home after the death of her mother, killing herself at the library where she works, crushing on Daddy’s hot best friends and walks right into danger.

Sam, Trick and Hugo are thankfully there to rescue her and we see a little bit of their feelings towards Marie. Like maybe they share the same feelings as hers.

Her “show” of appreciation for Trick was very steamy. I liked that. Hugo’s visit to the library and asking her for a show for both him and Sam made me blush right along with her.

She pulls the “wanting a tattoo” card instead, but of course Trick isn’t going to back down and let her get away.

I get that the guys have a past. They’re older and more experienced, but constantly talking about how many women they have been with is just gross and it gets old. How do they even know that they aren’t going to break her heart after breaking all of the rules?

Absence makes the heart grow fonder … and secrets come out … and lessons are learned (i.e, the pullout method is not 100% effective) something someone(s) over 40 should certainly know already.

Them calling her “baby girl “ is a little gross.

Naturally they can’t just have a good night. Hell’s Hammers have to go and screw things up. Preacher’s life hangs in the balance, but Crow should know they’d never give up his daughter to save his life.

Marie stubbornly refuses to hang back and I just know she’s going to do something stupid and put herself and her baby in danger.

Way to go Marie!!! That was awesome.

Preacher’s reaction was exactly what I expected one the haze of gunfire dissipated. But the epilogue was cute, and the bonus epilogue was very very hot.

I really enjoyed this read. There were a few things that I was disappointed with but they weren’t major. Also, I thought the age difference would put me off but I decided to give it a shot and I’m so glad I did.

Would I reread? I think once was enough but I’ll keep an eye out for the author in the future. Would I recommend? Yes.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy and am voluntarily reviewing it. Ms. Archer continues to keep me as one of her fans. This book hit that sweet spot perfectly. Marie Durand was back in Auclair, Louisiana with her father, Preacher. Yes, he was the town’s preacher. After Marie’s mother passed, she moved back. She works at the town’s only library and is an author. She writes smut under the pen name Cat Blackstone. There was no way Marie could have her father or the townspeople finding out what kind of books she wrote.

Next to the library was the Lethal Legacy tattoo shop. The tattoo shop was owned and ran by Preacher’s best friends. Trick Morrissey, Hugh Bonhomme and Sam Cane were also the stars Marie’s dreams. The characters in her books tended to be based on these men. Marie tried to keep her feelings to herself but they were obvious when she was around the guys. The guys knew they should stay away, but there was something about Marie that drew them to her.

That’s not all. The town is having trouble with the Hell’s Hammers. They have been slowly going through the Parrish and Auclair is up next. The Hell’s Hammers have set their sights on Marie. Trick, Hugh and Sam refuse to let anything happen to her. Not only do they have to get through the Hammers, Preacher will probably not be too happy with them all trying to be together. This book gives us a love story along with some action.

Hook: Who knew stepping into a tattoo shop would mean getting inked—and claimed—by a group of swoony, possessive, and inked-up daddies? 🔥

Summary: Inked Daddies is exactly what the title promises: a deliciously steamy reverse harem romance set in a tattoo shop, with a strong female lead who finds herself entangled with a group of irresistible, alpha-but-sweet tattoo artists. There’s heat, heart, and a lot of ink.

What I Liked:

The chemistry between the characters is off-the-charts.
Each “daddy” has his own personality and backstory—no copy-paste love interests here.
The pacing never drags. Whether it's romance, drama, or steamy scenes, something is always happening.
The found family vibes hit me right in the feels.

What Could Be Improved:

A few scenes felt a little rushed, especially emotional resolutions.

Would’ve loved more time exploring each relationship in depth—some moments felt like they needed just a bit more space to breathe.

Overall Thoughts: If you're into reverse harem with alpha males who are surprisingly soft, tattoo shop drama, and steamy group dynamics, this is 100% your next guilty pleasure read. It doesn’t try to be anything it’s not—it’s fun, sexy, and addictively over-the-top in all the right ways.

Marie has had a crush on her dad's best friends for a good few years. It doesn't help that their tattoo shop is across from the library where she works, fuelling her fantasies when she sees them. Those fantasies play out in her secret life as a romance author.

Sam, Trick, and Hugo watched Marie grow up until her mother divorced her father and moved states. But now she is back home with her father since her mother passed away. The only thing is that Marie is not the small girl with the pigtails; she is now a shapely young woman, their friend's daughter, someone who they should not be having lewd thoughts about.

But fate pushes them together when an incident involving Marie happens outside the library. The men go into protective mode, nobody messes with 'their' woman. The opportunity arises for Marie to act out her fantasies with the men, and she takes the chance. But is this a one-off arrangement?

But Marie is still on the radar of her initial attacker; he wants her, and he'll do anything to get her. Can the men keep her safe, or does this shy librarian show that she has a fierce side, protecting those that she loves?.

[Sheila M. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ms. Archer packs a lot into 313 pages. One of the plot points of this spicy romance story is that the sweet, innocent 26-year-old FMC writes spicy romance stories in her spare time. She is also a preacher’s daughter, librarian, and a virgin. Marie has so many contradictions. Then she falls for her father’s three best friends. They are tattoo artists now, but had a colorful past, along with her father. Throw in a gang targeting women for a trafficking ring, a gang fight, an attempted kidnapping, and a whole lotta hanky-panky between the FMC and her three MMCs and you have a book that keeps you in suspense and on the edge of your seat, reading long into the night because the writing and storyline is too good to stop. Archer had done an excellent job with character development, creating wonderfully flawed, unique characters that you can’t help but cheer for and hope they get their HEA. Archer’s attention to detail in world building makes you feel like you could walk down the street of Auclair and know your way around. I liked the reference to the small-town busybodies and the struggles of being a small-town preacher. I really enjoyed the book and the ending.

Marie works at the Auclair Public Library in Louisiana. across from a tattoo shop.
Sam, Trick,Hugo are the owners and workers of a tattoo shop The Lethal Legacy. They are also best friends with Marie's dad.
Her friend and coworker is warning her to be careful. There is a gang, the Hell's Hammers, who are targeting women for trafficking.
As she's leaving the library there's a guy there and he tells her he knows her father and he's here for her. Her father's name is Preacher. Her dad and the guys have been tight since before she was born. They try to ignore it but there is no ignoring how she looks at them. Then one night changes everything. Trick is watching over her to make sure the Hell Hammers don't show up at the house. Only to watch as she does something he didn't think she'd do. Then he makes sure she knows he's there. The next day he tells the others. They know it's wrong but she's a grown 26 year old woman. The biggest barrier is her dad...knowing him for as long as they have. But is there any turning back once they set their minds? What about Marie?
The guy who tried to kidnap her is in jail but what about his cronies? Are they going to make another try for Marie? And what will happen when her dad finds out!? EEEK!!
A fascinating story that creates a story that hits the reader in the emotions on all levels.

A great and hot HR story
What a wonderful, satisfying story! Every single MC was amazing in his own way. The guys, Sam, Hugo and Trick are great. Three tattoo artists, former special ops, each with his own qualities and character, but together share an unbreakable bond. Brothers in arms and in life. Sam is the levelheaded one – the supposed leader, if you will. Trick is the playful one and Hugo compliments the other two and he is the one who breach the subject of Marie first, admitting that he wants her – not only for himself but for all of them. Marie is a librarian (slash a…writer), their friend’s (and former brother-in-arms, turned preacher) daughter. On the outside, she seems innocent and unaware. But this is just a mask. She is one determined, strong, independent woman, who is not afraid of how she feels – she decides to pursue what she wants. And it’s them. A rollercoaster of events occur – someone is after her. The guys step in. How will her father react to all of this? And how will everyone involved in this non-traditional relationship react to everything? I couldn’t put the book down. 5 stars.

Dad's best friends

Liked the storyline, each guy had well defined personalities as did our fmc. Spice 3/5 not as much or kinky as I like but they had feelings and that made it special.
The climax came and suddenly there was an epilogue, this was a huge negative for me.
The biker gang who were trafficking women from neighbouring town came for Marie, the bad guy knew her by name, knew who her father was and even mentioned someone specific wanted her, after the battle the remaining bad bikers run off but seriously?
It seemed weird they'd just give up and no mention of the cops or FBI going after them. So there's a climax with no real resolution.
Also they all feared how the town would have their relationship, treat her etc nothing it mentioned about the town, Preachers congregation or her boss reacting.
Added note is at least two of her men if not all three mentioned in their internal dialogue they want to marry her, no mention of any plans.
It was fun, a bit steamy with the desire they all had but then sudden ending fell flat with missing answers. The bonus epilogue didn't add much other than another sex scene.

[Manda · Rating 5 out of 5]

On the surface, Marie is the quintessential small town librarian, but underneath still waters run deep. She has been fixated on her father's three best friends for as long as she can remember. Now that fixation has become more intense, the outlet of which she pours into her published romances under a secret pen name.

Sam, Hugo and Trick have done everything together since the Preacher found them. Now they are holding onto their control by the skin of their teeth and not ravishing their best friend's gorgeous daughter.

All that repressed passion erupts just as trouble comes to town in the form of people traffickers.

A fantastic, fast paced, action packed, steamy page turner. The relationship between the main characters is lively and bumpy enough to give it some real depth. Plenty of angst, danger and steam to keep it utterly engrossing. Thoroughly enjoyable and would absolutely recommend this book.

Marie has returned to live with her father after the death of her mother and is working in the library. Her fathers best friends own the tattoo shop across the street and she has harbored a crush on them for years. Sam, Hugo and Trick begin to notice Marie as the woman she has become and not as the little girl they remember. When Marie is attacked outside the library one night, the guys come to the rescue and things heat up. This is a steamy, RH romance with a ton of action. I appreciated the lead up and the relationship that is built between all of them, however, the ending felt rushed and not quite wrapped up.

Inked Daddies is a spicy, why choose age gap romance featuring Marie Durand, Sam Cane, Hugo Bonhomme, and Trick Morrissey. The story is set in Auclair, LA where Marie has returned following her mother's passing. She lives with her father, Preacher, and works as a librarian at Auclair Public Library. Across the street is The Lethal Legacy, Sam's tattoo parlor, where he works alongside Hugo and Bonhomme. The three are best friends with Marie's father and share a past. Marie has found the trio to be alluring but knows nothing can come of her attraction.

They're my dad's best friends. Older. Off-limits. Dangerous.

Little does she know that these sexy men are drawn to her as well, until Marie is almost grabbed by a member of the Hell's Hammers who are targeting women for trafficking. When she screams, those three men come running to her rescue. Of course Marie wants to show her appreciation, and these men share everything.

The three men are very different from one another, but all alpha males with hearts of gold. Each has his own chemistry with Marie. I appreciated that Marie, while younger, didn't lose herself in her men.

As expected. this story is definitely sexually explicit but there is a plot with action, some mystery and character development. Overall I found it to be an enjoyable read.

This book was jam packed with everything!!! Lots of excitement and heat. A why choose taken a direction I never expected. As the daughter of a small town Southern Baptist worship leader, I fell under the same idea as a preachers daughter. I acted like the proverbial preachers kid. This girl, once she finally let her true self come out, took it to a whole other level!
I loved all the action, enjoyed the emotional connection to each of the characters. Really great book!.

Marie might sound like she should be rather straight laced as the librarian daughter of a preacher. She's anything but that though. With her father's 3 best friends (Sam, Trick and Hugo) she finds herself in a forbidden relationship in a story with drama (they are 3 ex-military men after all), off-limits and plenty of steam.

I liked this story. It was well written. The characters were uniquely identifiable. I had to look up the Ezekiel reference of course.
