Heat & Ink #7
Marked By The Filthy-Mouthed Grizzly
I've been teetering on the edge for months.
My grizzly bear is one step away from snapping and I feel like I'm losing my mind.
He has one overwhelming obsession.
Finding her.
My mate. The one I'm destined to be with.
Watching my brothers find their mates while mine never shows up is enough to kill a man.
But just as I'm about to crack, she walks into my life, all soft curves and shy smiles.
The second I smell her sweet intoxicating scent, the beast goes quiet.
We know she's mine.
The torturous wait is finally over.
All that's left to do is mark her.
And I'll do it while bending her over, growling against her skin, and saying the filthiest things she's ever heard until she's begging for it.
The fun is about to begin.
Welcome to Heat & Ink where hot possessive tattoo artists leave their mark in more ways than one.
The Heat & Ink series mixes Contemporary, Sci Fi Romance, and Paranormal in three standalone stories by best-selling STEAMY authors, Hope Ford, Michele Mills, and Olivia T. Turner.

October 11, 2025It was okay. A novella that spans 2 whole days with 2 epilogues showing them years later. It was instant, everything happened too fast, but that's the short story for you.
My only issue probably would've been that 2 out of 3 men in this series are takers. Look, for some reason I enjoyed it more when the MMCs did the giving first before they took something. Idk, why, though.
For someone who claims to be looking for their mates their whole lives, I expected these men to be more eager to please their women, but what happened is quite the opposite. 🤷♀️ But somehow, in the story, the author made it look like the women wants it and enjoys it the act too, so maybe I should just get on board with it. Anyway, it's a me issue, obviously, but I know some would be fine with it.

This book is a part of the Heat & Ink series and focuses on Magnus and Erica. Magnus had been struggling with his bear for a while due to them not having found their mate yet. All Magnus wants is to find his mate and be settled and happy like his siblings. When he begins to struggle with being around all of the happy couples while at work, he goes outside and discovers what he has been desperately looking for for years. As soon as he sees Erica, he immediately knows that she is his mate and he is ready to claim her. Erica came to town for the funeral of her stepbrothers when she decided to get a tattoo in their memory. She wasn't close to her brothers but was conflicted since they were her siblings. When she goes to the tattoo shop, she is met with Magnus and feels an undeniable pull to him. Unfortunately for Magnus, he had a hand in her brother's death and that leads to him having to work hard to prove to Erica that she is safe with him and that he just wants to love her. This was a great story and a great addition to the series.

Magnus has been living on the edge, his grizzly restless and half-mad from waiting for his fated mate. Watching his brothers find their forever while he spirals into frustration and loneliness? Torture. But when Erica walks into his tattoo shop—soft, sweet, grieving, and so damn right—his world finally stops spinning. One look, one scent, and every feral instinct in him goes still. She’s his. The one.
Erica’s heartbreak runs deep—she’s come to town to bury her stepbrothers, both wolf shifters. She’s not looking for love, or magic, or a mate… until she meets the tattooed, growly man whose touch feels like both danger and home. Their chemistry is explosive, and Turner doesn’t shy away from the primal pull that drives them together—it’s possessive, passionate, and laced with the kind of dirty talk that will have you fanning yourself halfway through chapter two.
What sets this story apart is how beautifully it blends the heat with heart. Beneath Magnus’s filthy mouth and grizzly growls is a man desperate to love, protect, and finally belong. Erica’s grief and hesitance make her strength all the more endearing. When these two finally give in, it’s not just about claiming—it’s about healing, about finding peace in the arms of someone who was always meant to be yours.
And that epilogue? Pure gold. A warm, funny, family-filled bow on a story that’s equal parts primal passion and forever love.
🩶 Read it for:
Fated mates and feral devotion
Tattooed, dirty-talking alpha who melts for his woman
A heroine with heart, healing, and quiet strength
Steam that scorches the page but ends in pure softness
Found family and a feel-good ending that makes you sigh.

Marked by the Filthy-Mouthed Grizzly by Olivia T. Turner is part of the Heat & Ink Series
Magnus along with his siblings and best friend own and operate a tattoo shop. Recently, his bear destroyed that shop and then ran across several states all thanks to his bear's short fuse. You see, Magnus' patience has run out, he and his bear are done waiting for their mate. He has stood by while his siblings, and by default his best friend, have met their fated mates, all the while pining for his. He is now almost feral. That all changes the moment he meets Erica. Unfortunately, things are never going to be simple in this shifter romance.
I am always a fan of Turner's books, and this series is really good. I will admit I wasn't a fan of Erica throughout most of this book. It was stated she barely knew her brothers and did not see them often, yet she was loyal to them to the point it was annoying. Including knowingly putting herself in danger for a watch. It got to the point that I felt sorry that she was the one Magnus ended up with. Of course, it worked out okay in the end. But again, just not my favorite FMC. I did always liked Magnus’ character throughout the series as well as his siblings and enjouyed their relationship. Overall, the story is good and well written as I knew it would be.
While each of the books in this series is technically a stand-alone, the stories and characters are interconnected so I would recommend reading them in order.

*Contains SPOILERS* for the SAFE readers…
Magnus and Erica
A Dual virgin one!!! Yess. True fated mates that find each other.
But this story was a little sad. He is the remaining brother to still find his mate. When she arrives at his ink shop he picks the job for himself. I wish he didn’t go through with the tattoo design. Just like his brother, I wished he branded her with something else than her two estranged and violent brothers (that were killed by Magnus and Adrian in self defense, btw). He simply goes with it and draws the tattoo. I also wished she decided to change the tattoo, ask Magnus to transform that one into something meaningful to them, instead of keeping the memory of her half-brothers with her as a tattoo. Especially after knowing what they did to Magnus and his family!!
The book is called marked by the filthy-mouthed grizzly. He doesn’t talk dirty until like 75% in the book. 🙄 He was super respectful to her from the beginning. So, to me the title doesn’t match with the book.
Idk, I was expecting something different. His story is a sad one, and I feel for him. He didn’t deserve to be rejected. Or misunderstood.
She was a naive girl, too. Even putting herself in harms way with Banks!! And when Magnus had to protect her from Banks and his two goons… everything sped at warp speed.
It’s an okay book to maybe cleanse from a bad book, or just to relax.

I have been waiting for Magnus’ story, and it did not disappoint. To get the full experience of the story read the first two books first.
Magnus is the oldest sibling of three grizzly bear shifters. He is also the only one left unmated . His bear is almost feral searching for his mate. Magnus has lost control of his bear as he searches in agony for her.
Then all of a sudden she appears like a dream in his tattoo shop.
Erica is in town for the funeral of her two half brothers. She had mixed feelings about them, then were evil but they were still her family. She is immediately drawn to Magnus and feels a connection.
Magnus is in deep trouble and he knows it, he has finally found his mate but a secret may split them apart before they even form a relationship.
I love how powerful and protective Magnus is. He is a gentle giant until provoked. He protects those he loves and has a huge heart.
Erica is strong willed and struggles with the secret until she sees the truth herself .
Such a great series.

'Picking up chicks is the last thing I’m interested in.
What girl could ever compare to my fated mate?
What the hell is a hook-up going to do for me except make me even more miserable?
I’m looking for my best friend. My life partner. My mate.
I need her.'
I loved this book. Great world building and wonderful characters. I loved both Magnus and Erica. Poor Magnus is struggling as his "maniac" bear is going feral wanting to find their mate and he's suffering for it physically and mentally. Erica was in town for her stepbrothers' Mace and Knox's funeral. She cared for them even if she didn't grow up with them or was too close. She was in an unsettled place, mourning, but also thinking it might be for the best. And dealing with a creepy shifter who doesn't understand 'no.'
'But how do you mourn when you’re not totally sure the people you’re mourning didn’t deserve it? That the world just might be a better place without them in it.'
I loved the chemistry and connection between Erica and Magnus. How she comes to trust him and how he'll do anything to protect her. The tension and danger from Banks add excitement, and the outcome was very satisfying. 5 stars

Just because they are fated doesn't mean it's going to be easy!
Marcus is a lonely, half feral bear who is desperate to find his mate, he is surrounded by newly mated couples and it makes it harder to control his bear and his own frustration. Fate definitely has a twisted sense of humour, when he finally finds his fated mate he knows she is never going to be able to forgive him....he is convinced he is doomed to be alone forever.
I am a little disappointed that it takes Erica being targeted for her to really listen to what Marcus and Victoria have been telling her....what her heart has also been telling her. Had she listened to her gut and her heart at the funeral, then she could have saved them both heartache and pain. I am however impressed that Marcus's bear doesn't go on a feral rampage the moment she walks away.
It is great to see Marcus finally get his mate and his HEA, even if it is a very bumpy road to get there.

Have been looking forward to Magnus’s story and this did not disappoint. Magnus has been on edge for a while, his bear caused havoc and destruction when he couldn’t find his mate. The guilt of his past has been eating away at him then one day a young woman walked into his shop wanting a tattoo to remember her dead Stepsiblings. Erica has returned to town for her stepbrothers funeral, they were strangers to her but they were family. When the MCs meet their need and attraction for one another is instant but what will happen when truths are revealed? Magnus knows she is his mate but will Erica forgive him when she finds out she’s in town because of him? Great characters and ott story with plenty of heat and amazing family dynamics. Great to catch up with Magnus’s siblings and great insight into their future.

This is a story I've been waiting for and the author did a fab job bringing joy to Magnus...finally. This bear shifter is going mad with his need for his mate and I was thankful he finally met Erica, in town for her half-brothers' funeral. This does not mean HEA now, though, as it's Magnus that was involved in unaliving her brothers. Yikes! As you can imagine, this brings a ton of angst to Magnus, and guilt, except he had no choice in how he dealt with her brothers... I love how this story brings closure to both their loneliness and longing to belong. It also has a ton of dirty talking spice to go with it ;P The author was super kind and gave us a fab epilogue to see how Magnus and his sibs are doing in the future. This was a highly engaging series, for me, and I know these books will be resting comfortably on my re-read shelf. So good!
October 7, 2025
Marked by the Filthy-Mouthed Grizzly is a fantastic finale to OTT’s sibling shifters of Heat & Ink! In true over the top fashion, Magnus’ mate appears when he least expected and simultaneously needed it the most—and she is a stunner with a beautiful heart. The conflict they have to overcome is a doozy, and I love that Magnus puts its all out there before Erica gets too involved, giving her the chance to make her own decision and respecting whatever choice she makes. The suspenseful moments and tension were well-built, and the chemistry between these two crackles and sparks. And when they finally do come together? It is explosive in the best way.

I have been looking forward to Magnus’s book, oh the heartbreak of his endless wondering and pain/joy of seeing his siblings find their fated mates yet as the eldest not finding his yet.
Magnus fought for his family and in the battle killed vicious enemies that will come back to haunt him.
Erica attends the funeral services of her two half brothers and wants to get a tattoo to honor them.
Walking into Heat and Ink will change everything. Instant attraction and pull between Magnus and Erica is palpable.
His fated mate Erica is the half sister of the wolves that attacked his family.
Love will be tested and hard truths will be spoken.

Once a bear finds his true mate, that fire will burn forever. I loved that sentence from this INCREDIBLE book with an AWESOME, EXCITING, and Super STEAMY love story.
Imagine your siblings having found their mates, but you haven’t. The loneliness, longing, despair, and desperation was unbearable for Magnus. He was fortunate to finally find his mate in Erica, but circumstances almost kept them apart.
I especially enjoyed the wonderful HEA, and the look down the road
Read this fascinating, spicy story of how love triumphs.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this fabulous book.

Magnus has been fighting his grizzly for a while him and his grizzly have been craving finding their mate and it is getting very hard to hold things together. He was sitting behind his tattoo shop when he got a wiff of his mate who had just pulled into the parking lot. Erica wanted a tattoo in memory of her brothers that were killed. She knew they were not good men but they were still family. She had no way of knowing the sexy Alpha man that she had just met had killed her brothers. This is a sweet romance story with action that keeps you on the edge of your seat. This is very well-written, and a must read!!!

We follow Marcus and Erica. Marcus is the last of his brothers without a mate and goes crazy without encountering his mate. Everything changes when he meets Erica, who has come to town to bury one of her stepbrothers. They meet when she comes to his shop for a memorial tattoo. Marcus is happy because his mate is there, but there's one problem: will they stand a chance if she knows he's the reason her brother died? A wonderful story with suspense, humor, sadness, longing, chemistry, action, and plenty of steam and passion.

Magnus has been waiting to find his mate and his grizzly is almost feral. Erica comes to the funeral of her step brothers and decides to get a tattoo in memorial even though she was always afraid of them. Magnus is thrilled when his mate shows up and he gets to put a tattoo on her but then discovers that he has to tell her he killed one of her brothers. She is not able to forgive him and while telling him goodbye one of the wolves that rode with her brothers tries to claim her and Magnus protects her. She realizes that the mate bond is correct and chooses him. It is a quick OTT read and I couldn't put it down. You will love it.

Marked by the filthy mouthed grizzly
I love all your books Ms. Olivia and this one is no exception. Love the way they met, her conviction of her beliefs about her brothers even though they were bad news from the beginning and her discovery of his love and protective nature that makes her understand him fundamentally and bursts her love into overdrive. Of course the love scene that follows doesn’t disappoint and the ending is heartwarming all of those bears together with their families and happy. Thanks for always sharing what we your reader have come to love and admire about your stories. Blessings.

When your mate is your salvation 💞
Ohhh this is one hot hot hot, dramatic read! Magnus is on the edge literally as he has not met his mate yet and things are dire. Erica is in town to bury her stepbrothers who are wolf shifters. When she goes to Magnus’s tattoo shop to honor their memory - to say sparks fly is an understatement. Magnus is the king of spicy and the epilogues wrapped the story around you like a warm hug filled with family and love.

Magnus finally gets his mate and boy is it drama packed.
Erica is in town for the funeral of her two step brothers, the two brothers who just happened to be the Wolf shifters who caused issues for Adrian (Magnus' best friend) and Victoria (his sister) in Marked by the Possessive Polar Bear.
What she didn't expect was being the hot tattoo artists mate.
If you enjoy fated mates, shifter romance, pure love, dual pov, sexual chemistry, drama, interlinking characters, interconnected standalone, steamy scenes and HEAs.

I actually really enjoyed the first two books in this series. and I was looking forward to this one because I adore Magnus. but this fell really short for me. I did not like the main female character Erica. it should have been really good with the plot twist and everything. but I just felt like her character was way too wishy-washy and naive. I just really did not like her for him LOL. I found myself kind of hoping she would leave and he'd find a new mate, better mate. of course I knew that wasn't really going to happen. it was good to get the two epilogue bonuses to see their futures.

This is round 3 in the Heat & Ink series with authors Olivia T Turner, Hope Ford, and Michelle Mills. Magnus was introduced in his siblings' books as his grizzly bear struggled without his mate. Erica is Magnus 's fated mate but their is complications due to Magnus killing one of her half brothers. I was rooting for Magnus and Erica. Happy that Magnus got us own HEA.

“Marked by the Filthy-Mouthed Grizzly” by Olivia T. Turner
-A scorching, emotional fated-mates romance that sizzles from the start. I received a free copy and am voluntarily sharing my honest thoughts.
Magnus’s loneliness and desperation make his bond with Erica all the more powerful. Their meeting sparks fire, passion, and a fierce sense of destiny fulfilled.
Tenderness, heat, and a perfect HEA wrap this wild, heart-melting story beautifully.

Finally Magnus finds his mate!!!! I'm so excited that Magnus finally finds Erica. She's the balm that he so desperately needs. She's in town for the funeral of her two step-brothers whom she really didn't know. This is an over the top love story with a very possessive bear with a HUGE heart. I loved this story and couldn't put it down.

Magnus and Erica have a connection so strong they can't stay away!
Their story is mildly steamy and slightly emotional. Magnus is such a big teddy bear. He's amazing and will protect Erica until the end of time. Erica is confused because she shouldn't want him after everything that happened. However, their feelings will not be ignored.
I loved reading this story. Also, the second Epilogue was just perfect!
