The Thorne Sisters #1
Ink & Iron
I don’t do messy. Not with clients. Not with feelings.
And definitely not with gruff, brooding ex-soldiers who walk into my shop like they’re still carrying the war with them.
Tanner Maddox is gruff, guarded, and built like every bad idea I’ve ever had.
I knew better than to let him past my walls.
But he showed up with haunted eyes and scars that told a story—and suddenly I’m breaking every rule I’ve ever made.
I don’t fall for clients.
I don’t get involved.
And I sure as hell don’t let someone like him get close enough to matter.
Tanner doesn’t talk much. Doesn’t trust easy.
But somehow, he’s the only one who makes me feel like survival isn’t the same as living.
I’ve spent years building something solid.
A life. A business.
A set of rules to keep my heart from becoming collateral damage again.
But the second he touched me, I started wanting things I swore I didn’t need.
And now?
I’m not sure how to want anything else.
Ink & Iron is a steamy small-town romance about a grumpy, guarded veteran, a fierce tattoo artist with rules of her own, slow-burn tension, and a love that cuts deeper than ink.

I want more…
This story was short but so powerful. I am left wanting more. I want more backstory. I’m hope I h as the series evolves we get more insight into the sisters past more. I loved their love. Was hard not to fall in love with the characters. Each and every one of them. Thanks for the experience. I can’t wait to read about the next sister!

cute
Cute quick read. Damaged warrior and sexy tattoo artist.
There are 3 sisters in the background that will undoubtedly get their own stories.
It was a novella, quick and sexy.

Short but intense
A man of few words and a lot of baggage seeks a tattoo to cover his scar. The tattoo artist, a woman also of few words, transforms his scar and their lives. Really good.

This book was just okay. I’ll forget the plot in a week.
One thing I do not enjoy in books which this book did do is to go over a scene with one MC and the next chapter, go over the same scene with the other MC. Book filler. 🙄

This romance hit me right in the feelings. Lola and Tanner are both so guarded, and watching them fall for each other was addictive.

And why doesn't this deserve a full story? The idea is there...why just a novella?
