Coyote Glen #1
Ink Me Three Times
It was just supposed to be a tattoo appointment.
Cover my ex’s name. Start fresh.
But I walked out of the shop with more than fresh ink. A soul-scorching O in a stranger’s lap wrecked me, and a surprise was growing in my belly.
After a breakup, I crash-landed in Coyote Glen with my French bulldog, Pickle, my bruised pride, and a plan to reset my life.
But this town is full of messy charm, diner coffee, and dangerously hot men with dirty secrets that can flip plans upside down.
There’s Freddie—the single dad who hired me to watch his daughter…while he watches everything about me. It turns out Freddie co-owns the infamous tattoo shop, Ink & Iron, where I should never return because of…
Mitchell—the broody twin who already ruined me once in his chair and looks ready to do it again.
And Timothy— Mitchell's golden retriever twin. He drips with quiet charm and mixes sinful pancakes.
It’s not just about them, though. Penny—the little girl who’s already claimed my heart…
If this falls apart, I’ll lose the first real family I’ve ever had.
Once was a mistake.
Twice was a fluke.
But three times? That’s when things get permanent.
Because I’m pregnant… with their triplets.
Ink Me Three Times is a standalone MFMM why choose romance in the “Coyote Glen” series. Expect small-town charm, bad-boy heat, and rom-com laughs. No swords cross, but tattoos leave their mark—with an ultra-cozy HEA.

Well I don't want to say it but.....I really didn't like this book. There was no relationship building, they basically seemed to have s*x and then not interact again just go through angst independently, they weren't actually in a relationship until about 80%! Plus the timelines didn't make sense, it's suggested that it's weeks between Mitchell and Timothy's hook ups so surely she'd know who the father was??? By the end I was skimming as I was determined to finish it but it was not read with joy.

I’m really questioning all the life choices that brought me here.

Three and a half stars rounded up. This was exactly what I needed to get out of a reading slump. It has some problems but overall it is a quick, wild ride. I was engaged from start to finish.
My biggest issue with the story is the timeline. Things move too fast but also there are inconsistencies as to how long it's been between when she sleeps with each guy the first time and then all together. It wasn't clear on the time.
Also along those lines, there should have been more opportunities to see her with the men that weren't sex. I wanted to see them have meals, do things to take care of her out of the bedroom. They all developed feelings fast but we didn't see the why on the page.
I don't think I'll contine with this author but I'd recommend this one when you want a quick easy smutty read.

Pacing was really off in places. Some things popped up out of the blue (kink), and other things never get resolved, like why is the grumpy one so averse to relationships, and how did they get so much money to do that with the ex AND buy a house? Where was the kid in the whole 2nd half? I also hate unrealistic multiple pregnancy tropes.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
I really enjoyed the way each of the main characters stories came together! Mitchell, Timothy and Freddie each brought something unique and realistic to the story. I've was a relatable FMC. loved the spice, story line, easy to love characters! I'm hoping for another book in the Coyote Glen world!

3.5 🌟 It started out so well and then fell apart. Loved the funny banter, which had me laughing hard and a giggling more than I expected. But there were issues with the flow of the book. Timing didn't add up, incomplete situations just abruptly end, lots of fluff that didn't add to the overall story arc.

this was actually so bad but it kept me entertained on a long flight lol

DNF. Freddie's daughter has one last name and then two chapters later has a different one. 🤨 There was so many repetitive sentences, comparing something happening to something else in what felt like every paragraph, off time lines, etc.... I really tried to keep going but as my friend said "2026 isn't the year for bad books." Get some honest to a fault Alpha and Beta readers, be open to their critiques and the idea behind this book has merit... it just needs some help.

Not my cup of tea
Nearly 400 pages of fluff.. badly edited fluff...
Jesus, who read this and went aye! That's great print that.. maybe my KU version was broken or something cause there were chunks missing, and bits that were just wrong! lmao 🤣 continuity errors all over the place.
Plus, this must be were we get to meet characters from other books, "the ranchers" the other mysterious guy...
And who the flip is "him"!!! omg him.. its him.. let's not talk about him... no, aye.. let's.. who??? cause him changes 8 times in this book. lmao 🤣
You'd of got 1 star, but even at 400 pages I finished it in a night.. So now you get 2, you tried for banter, and almost got it, the first chapters were promising..
Im no worse for having read it.. but boy, my Facebook recommendations really don't know me. lmao

🥃 ARC Review: Ink Me Three Times by Lacey Day
By The Bourbon Sipping Bibliophile
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ (2.75/5)
Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️ (Light-to-Medium, repetitive heat)
Genre: Spicy Small-Town Reverse Harem (MFMM), Surprise Pregnancy, Found Family
Format: E-ARC (534 pages)
The Pour: A Small Town, Four Men, and One Very Chaotic Timeline
Ink Me Three Times starts with a premise as bold as barrel-proof bourbon: Ivy arrives in the tiny town of Coyote Glen to cover up her ex’s tattoo and rebuild her life… and somehow ends up entangled with three men, a surprise pregnancy (with triplets), and a ready-made found family featuring a precocious kid and a French bulldog named Pickle.
On paper? Delicious chaos.
In execution? A little like mixing bourbon with soda water and hoping it drinks like an Old Fashioned.
The Notes: What Worked + What Went Sideways
🥃 Smooth Sips (What I Enjoyed)
Found Family Vibes:
Freddie, Mitchell, Timothy, Penny, and Pickle? The idea of this little mismatched family is heartwarming. The domestic scenes—when they show up—feel cozy and low-stakes.
Strong Premise:
Lacey Day consistently delivers high-concept poly romances, and this setup had real potential. Each guy brings something different to the table, and Ivy has the emotional depth to anchor a story like this.
Character Visuals:
I adored how each character had an image. A small touch, but it made the cast easier to keep track of, especially with so many personalities in play.
🥃 Harsh Burn (Where the Book Lost Me)
⚡ Pacing Issues All Over the Place
The pacing felt like someone had left their finger on the fast-forward button.
Major emotional moments were rushed.
New kinks appeared out of thin air.
Conflict entered and exited scenes before the bourbon even had time to open up.
⚡ Unresolved Plot Threads
There were too many moments where the story started to build toward something…and then abandoned the effort entirely.
Why is Mitchell actually so allergic to relationships? We never get the depth we’re promised.
How did they come by the money to handle the ex situation AND purchase a house?
Penny—the adorable, spunky daughter—vanished for most of the second half.
The side plot with Penny’s mom felt like manufactured drama that didn’t enhance the story.
⚡ The Quad Didn’t Feel Like a True Poly Relationship
This is a big one.
It didn’t feel like four people choosing each other.
It felt like:
Ivy can’t choose → the men allow it → boom, quad.
A true poly romance requires intentionality. Mutual desire. Emotional grounding. This one felt more like a compromise than a commitment.
⚡ Timeline & Chemistry Issues
The timeline is thin as tissue.
Connections jump from spark to inferno to family-level devotion in record speed.
Repetition creeps in. Scenes blur together. The emotional arcs never fully root.
⚡ Spice Level: More Sizzle Than Spice
Despite the 5-chili marketing energy, the spice is:
Light
Repetitive
Often dropped into scenes with no buildup
Several scenes read like placeholders instead of immersive intimacy. And for a book positioning itself as high-heat, that’s a miss.
⚡ Unrealistic Pregnancy Trope
Triplets. Again.
At this point, the surprise-multiples trope feels more gimmick than plot. If you’re sensitive to unrealistic or compressed pregnancy narratives, this will stick out.
The Final Sip
Ink Me Three Times has the ingredients for a warm, chaotic, big-hearted why-choose romance—but the execution dilutes the flavor. Pacing issues, missing emotional depth, unresolved plot threads, and underwhelming spice keep this from becoming the rich, full-bodied pour it could’ve been.
If you love poly chaos, small-town mess, tattooed men, and don't mind suspending disbelief to the sky, you may still enjoy the ride. But if you prefer poly romances with intentional emotional architecture, deeper character motivations, and believable timelines—you may want to pour something else.
🥃 Drink Pairing: A Half-Poured Bourbon Sour
A little sweet, a little tart, a little messy around the edges—but still drinkable if you’re in the mood.
This book aims high, but the balance isn’t quite right. Much like a bourbon sour missing the foam, something important doesn’t fully come together… yet it goes down easy enough if you’re not too picky.
🥃 Half-Poured Bourbon Sour - The Bourbon Sipping Bibliophile Edition
Ingredients
1.5 oz bourbon (something smooth but not too fancy)
0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
0.25 oz simple syrup
1 dash Angostura bitters
Optional: a half scoop of egg white foam (to make it “half-poured”)
Ice
Lemon wheel or cherry for garnish
Instructions
Fill the shaker halfway — not full, because this drink leans into the chaos.
Add bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, bitters, and your half-portion egg white if using.
Shake briefly. Like… way too briefly.
Add ice and shake again, but half-heartedly, like someone who’s not sure if they should commit.
Strain into a rocks glass with ice.
Garnish with whatever you have on hand — a lemon, a cherry, or even just a vibe.
Tasting Notes
🍋 A little tart
🥃 A little sweet
🤏 A little off-balance
😌 Still goes down easy
Perfect for a book that had all the ingredients… just not fully mixed.

Lacey Day went and did it again, each time I read one of her books I throughly enjoy each one. The dynamic and the built relationship that each character has while trying to work through their struggles and then coming through with a stronger understanding of one another.
Ivy arrives in the tiny town of Coyote Glen with her frenchie, Pickle, and a long term plan of wallowing in her brother, Jesse's, guest room. A plan that Jesse immediately throws a wrench in, when he insists that they go out her first night in town. While Ivy knew she hadn't exactly landed on her feet, a semi-drunken mistake at the town's tattoo shop convinces her that she's ready for a fresh start, and to cover up her ex's tattoo, rebuild her life and since she will never see mystery tattoo man again she should have no issues with that, right???
Ivy's ready to start working as a nanny for her brother Jesse's best friend, Freddie, whose daughter Penny is an adorable, chaotic goblin. Something she's sure is going to work out until mystery tattoo man walks into her new boss's kitchen... well actually a carbon copy of mystery tattoo man and then mystery tattoo man walk in, but things only get messier from there.
Penny was she was adorable and spunky. Lacey always does a very good job with having the children’s perspective. And the comedy act with Penny and Pickle existed when they weren't actively participating in a scene.
When the three men discover they have each been with Ivy, there's shock, hurt feelings, and disbelief. Then they decide to try something they have done in the past...share a woman. If Ivy is agreeable. She is.
They’re finding their way in this new relationship they've created when Ivy learns she's pregnant. With triplets! When her brother finds out, he's livid and he confronts all three men. They make sure he understands that this is not a game they're playing, they all have feelings for Ivy. Jesse doesn't understand...can't wrap his head around it. It makes Ivy feel like all she's doing is bringing chaos in their lives.
Why is Mitchell actually so allergic to relationships? And why does he react with certain emotions when Ivy gives them ground breaking news.
But she can't choose. Each of them give her something different and she wants it all.
Freddie, with his steady presence and the way he looks at me like I’m worth staying for.
Timothy, whose chaos somehow quiets mine, who sees every messy piece of me and never flinches.
And Mitchell, who shouldn’t matter the way he does, who pushes me, challenges me, and still manages to make me feel like I can finally breathe.
This book was pure poly chaos, small-town mess and tattooed men. But Ivy, Freddie, Mitchell, Timothy, Penny, and Pickle. The idea of this little mismatched family is heartwarming. The domestic scenes-when they show up-feel cozy and low-stakes.

3.5 I think how much you enjoy this narrative will depend heavily on your expectations going in. If you are looking for something light on plot, with some humorous moments, and a guaranteed happy ending this is probably right up your alley.
Hot on the heels of a particularly bad break up Ivy lands in picturesque Coyote Glen with her disgruntled frenchie, Pickle, and a long term plan of wallowing in her brother, Jesse’s, guest room. A plan that Jesse immediately throws a wrench in, when he insists that they go out her first night in town. While Ivy knew she hadn’t exactly landed on her feet, a semi-drunken mistake (that maybe wasn’t a mistake, but is something she resolve not to think about ever again) at the town's tattoo shop convinces her that she’s ready for a fresh start, and since she will never see mystery tattoo man again she should have no issues with that.
After a week of settling in with Pickle, Ivy’s ready to start working as a nanny for her brother Jesse’s best friend, Freddie, whose daughter Penny is an adorable, chaotic goblin. Something she’s sure is going to work out until mystery tattoo man walks into her new boss's kitchen… well actually a carbon copy of mystery tattoo man and then mystery tattoo man walk in, but things only get messier from there.
I will say that from the title and blurb I was expecting this narrative to involve a bit more actual tattooing where the main characters were involved. Instead there was a lot of agitated sketching and emotionally constipated brooding; which isn’t necessarily an inaccurate representation of tattoo artists/tattoo shops.
Penny was a favorite for me; she was adorable and spunky. Her vocabulary might have been a bit extensive for her age, but her mannerisms were spot on, and I gotta agree with her, there is most definitely a wrong way to cut a banana, and Freddie found it. I did also appreciate that this narrative didn’t forget that Penny and Pickle existed when they weren’t actively participating in a scene.
Ivy was an interesting character, and of the main characters she was the most developed. Her decision making skills were questionable, but I think the blurb makes that kind of clear. Mitchell, Freddie, and Timothy were pretty flat in comparison, but did have some development across the narrative. Olivia, Ivy’s best friend, was also a fun addition to the cast and I have a feeling we might see more of her soon.
The pacing of this narrative was a bit inconsistent, and the timeline was a bit difficult to follow, but overall, this was a quick, cute read with a happy ever after and fairly low stakes across the board.

Lacey Day has done it again! Her books are always entertaining and full of heart and heat.
Ivy has just gone through a bad breakup and her brother, Jesse, invites her to come stay with him in Coyote Glen and just be.
Freddie, Mitchell and Timothy are co-owners of Ink & Iron, a tattoo shop. Freddie has a daughter, Penny, who is 3 years old and will probably rule the world one day!
Ivy goes to the bar with her brother on her first night in town and when she leaves, she stops in at the Ink & Iron shop to see if she can get a tattoo over the word Luca that she regrets putting on her body. Mitchell fixes the tattoo. The air gets thicker and Ivy finds herself in the chair under Mitchell.
Freddie is Jesse’s best friend and since Freddie’s in need of a babysitter for Penny, Jesse tells him he’ll ask Ivy, his sister, to watch Penny. She agrees and falls in love with Penny…she’s so fun and unique! Not too long after, she finds herself tangled up with Freddie.
When she meets Timothy, she thinks it’s Mitchell, but something is off…he’s not Mitchell, but Mitchell’s twin brother! Oh my!
When the three men discover they have each been with Ivy, there’s shock, hurt feelings, and disbelief. Then they decide to try something they have done in the past…share a woman. If Ivy is agreeable. She is.
Things are just moving along and they’re finding their way in this new relationship they’ve created when Ivy learns she’s pregnant. With triplets! When her brother finds out, he’s livid and he confronts all three men. They make sure he understands that this is not a game they’re playing, they all have feelings for Ivy. Jesse doesn’t understand…can’t wrap his head around it. It makes Ivy feel like all she’s doing is bringing chaos in their lives.
But she can’t choose. Each of them give her something different and she wants it all.
Will she get it all? What happens when Penny’s mom shows back up? Is this relationship going to work or is it doomed? You’ll have to read this book to find out. Go ahead and get it…you’ll love it, I promise!
Another winner from Ms. Lacey Day!

Ivy goes to the bar with her brother on her first night in town and when she leaves, she stops in at the Ink & Iron shop to see if she can get a tattoo over the word Luca that she regrets putting on her body. Mitchell fixes the tattoo. The air gets thicker and Ivy finds herself in the chair under Mitchell.
Freddie is Jesse’s best friend and since Freddie’s in need of a babysitter for Penny, Jesse tells him he’ll ask Ivy, his sister, to watch Penny. She agrees and falls in love with Penny…she’s so fun and unique! Not too long after, she finds herself tangled up with Freddie.
When she meets Timothy, she thinks it’s Mitchell, but something is off…he’s not Mitchell, but Mitchell’s twin brother! Oh my!
When the three men discover they have each been with Ivy, there’s shock, hurt feelings, and disbelief. Then they decide to try something they have done in the past…share a woman. If Ivy is agreeable. She is.
Things are just moving along and they’re finding their way in this new relationship they’ve created when Ivy learns she’s pregnant. With triplets! When her brother finds out, he’s livid and he confronts all three men. They make sure he understands that this is not a game they’re playing, they all have feelings for Ivy. Jesse doesn’t understand…can’t wrap his head around it. It makes Ivy feel like all she’s doing is bringing chaos in their lives.
But she can’t choose. Each of them give her something different and she wants it all.
Will she get it all? What happens when Penny’s mom shows back up? Is this relationship going to work or is it doomed? You’ll have to read this book to find out. Go ahead and get it…you’ll love it, I promise!
Another winner from Ms. Lacey Day!

Lacey Day once again delivers a captivating read with her latest instalment, launching a brand-new series set in the charming and interconnected small town of Coyote Glenn. In this quaint locale, the lines between personal lives and public knowledge often blur, making secrets a nearly impossible commodity to keep. The pervasive familiarity among its residents creates a unique backdrop where everyone’s business is, in some way, everyone else’s.
Our protagonist, Ivy, arrives in Coyote Glenn seeking solace and a fresh start after experiencing a significant heartbreak. She finds refuge with her brother, Jesse, who not only offers her a place to stay but also helps her secure a job that perfectly intertwines with the town's close-knit dynamics. Ivy becomes the nanny to Penny, the spirited and wonderfully imaginative daughter of Jesse’s best friend, Freddie. Penny's boundless energy and wild creativity are infectious, making her a truly delightful character whose antics and perspectives add a layer of warmth and humour to the narrative.
Freddie, along with his two close friends, Mitchell and Timothy (who are identical twins), are the co-owners of the town's popular tattoo shop. As Ivy settles into her new life, an undeniable attraction begins to bloom, with each of the three men falling for her in their own distinct way. The tension builds gradually, simmering beneath the surface, until it finally erupts in a series of truly electric moments, where sparks emphatically fly. Each man brings a unique dynamic and set of qualities into Ivy’s life, and their individual appeals are beautifully explored, making it easy to understand why she finds herself drawn to all of them. Despite navigating the complexities of multiple relationships, experiencing a few bumps in the road, and indulging in some steamy, chaotic nights, the group ultimately finds their way to a well-deserved and deeply satisfying happily ever after.

This book was a really good read and I absolutely loved Ivy and her Frenchie, Pickles. I immediately felt like I could sit down and have a cup of coffee with Ivy and just chat. She has a dry sense of humor but is guarded in that her heart was broken so she ends up in a new town bunking at her brother Jesse’s place. When Jesse bails on her first night there leaving her in a bar, she stumbles into a tattoo shop to cover up her ex’s ink. In all her feels, she makes a “one night tattoo shop stand” and figured she’d never see the guy again. But a week later when she starts a nanny job that her brother’s gorgeous best friend Freddie gives her since he is a single dad, she realizes she is going to see the mystery man more than she thought as he not only has an identical smokin’ hot twin brother but they all work at the tattoo parlor with Freddie. Freddie’s little girl Penny is adorable and super sweet as she really connects with Ivy and all three of the guys individually fall for Ivy but emotionally but also fall into bed without the others knowing. It all comes to a head when they realize and there are some fireworks both good and bad but they all seem to navigate a shared relationship. There is some drama when Freddie’s ex and Penny’s absent mom tried to make a come back and also when Ivy realizes that she pregnant, doesn’t know who’s kid as she slept with all 3 of them and oh yeah, there are 3 heartbeats at the doctor’s appointment.
The author did a great job with some of the side characters with the guys that Jesse works with and Ivy’s bestie Olivia to round out some of the banter between the characters but also give more depth. Can’t wait to see Olivia’s story what she is in store for. Only issue that I had was the timeline was sometimes hard to figure out as it was one day at a tattoo convention and suddenly it was several weeks later with no time jump header or notes. But overall this was another great read

This was mostly a fun read. I generally liked the banter and the chemistry as well as the relationship with the brother. I couldn't tell if his situationship was meant to serve any purpose but to get him out of the way for convenience sake.
I had a few complaints: Penny's age is unclear. In the beginning it says she's three, but she talks like a much older child. Then later it's been four years since her mom left. Then again, maybe three?
Timelines didn't make sense. There appear to be weeks between each sexual encounter with the MMC's, so realistically, she should know exactly who the father is. Also, weeks just disappear without any real explanation. It seems she goes much of this time without interacting with anyone except for Penny and a little with Freddie.
Also, maybe this is petty, but there is a LOT of simile abuse. They are fun, and some of them clever even. But at times I was counting 3-5 "like....."'s per page, and I read on my phone in semi-large font.
Last mild complaint was that not much seemed to happen. At times the book felt like no more than a tour of other men who served no purpose and I have to assume they'll be featured in other books. But mostly all they managed to do was distract me without adding anything to this plot. I would have liked to see more time between the FMC and MMCs outside of sexual encounters.

From tattoo cover up to so much more
Ivy ran from her previous life and came to live with her friend who gets her a job as a nanny to an adorable toddler.
In her fresh start she needs to have her ex's name covered up. What started as a simple tattoo appointment turned into a fantastic one night stand with her grumpy artist. She didn't know his name and never figured she would see him again.
Enter the father of the little girl she's watching. He also works at the tattoo shop. However, the biggest surprise is that his ride is the grumpy man from her one night stand. But wait, she also discovers there's a golden retriever version of that man in his twin brother.
This is a new chance in a new town. Ivy certainly never thought she would casually end up sleeping with three different men who all knew each other and two of them were twins.
If you can't handle the miscommunication or pregnancy tropes you are going to wait to pick a different book. I dislike a lot of miscommunication but I do understand what Ivy saw and how it got out of hand.
This is a spicy small town read where the FMC gets pregnant and doesn't have to choose. There were some moments that were funny, challenging, adorable, spicy, and frustrating but it kept the story interesting.

🔹 Why Choose
🔹 Twins (identical)
🔹 Single dad
🔹 All the angst
🔹 One night stand turned into…..
🔹 Instalust to love
🔹 FMC struggling through life
🔹 Happy Ever After
🔹 Surprise 😳 x3
This was such an emotional 🥹 book! My goodness. Miscommunication is one of my biggest frustrations and this definitely had that going for them. Like JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER!!
I felt deeply for the FMC throughout the book. She was going through it and kept going through it. The ups and downs in this book were tough. The bright light throughout the entire book, Penny. That sweet little girl will rule the world one day!!
Rated a 4🌟/5. My critiques. I would have liked a little more character development for all the MMCs and I have so many questions about what happened to Mitchell in his past. Do we find out in another book?? He’s so broken almost. There were time jumps that weren’t super smooth towards the end. I have so many questions about those in between moments. But I’m also one that loves the little details too.
I did read this in a day and could not put it down. And there were 3 surprises towards the end but it all worked out. This ends in a HEA and I sure hope we get more books about this little town.
If you’re one that loves to tear up and cry during certain books. This is for you! If you love surprise pregnancies, this is definitely for you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
Ink Me Three Times delivers everything I want in a rom-com: heart, heat, and hilariously chaotic sidekicks. Penny and Pickle absolutely steal the show — they deserve their own novella. I laughed so hard I cried, then cried so hard I had to hug my dog. The feels? They were feeling.
Lacey Day definitely didn’t hold back on the spice (thank you for your service, ma’am), but beneath all the heat is a story that’s genuinely fun and emotionally grounded. There were a few spots that felt a bit overwritten — maybe a quarter of the book could’ve been tightened — and some transitions jumped around enough to make me reread a few lines. Still, the overall flow worked, and the humor more than made up for the choppy bits.
Bonus points for clean editing — barely any grammar hiccups. (Lacey, if you ever want a detailed proofing buddy, I got you.) My only lingering question: why didn’t Ivy get inked three times?! That’s gonna haunt me until the next book.
Speaking of which… please tell me Olivia’s story is up next, and that Jesse and his fire bros are getting their own happily-ever-afters too. 🔥.

I didn’t love this book. I went in with higher expectations and was let down. The 3 men owned a tattoo shop together but the only one they mentioned that actually tattooed was Mitchell. No clue what Freddie or Timothy did there. The timeline between her being either each man individually didn’t make sense. They talk in the book that it’s a few weeks in between each one and if that’s the case she should know which one is the father of the babies. I don’t care for how they didn’t seem to be in a relationship until almost the end of the book. She is with each man individually then just suffers alone through most the book. I found her relationship with her brother really weird. They talked about how he grew up there but if they are siblings why didn’t she grow up there. I didn’t like how her brother treated her about the relationship and how mad he got. It’s ok to be mad about his best friend but not treat her the way he did. Then the main FMC got on my nerves. She was too whiny for me. I did love her dog. Overall I feel this book was a mess and not what it could have been.

New Beginnings and Found Family in Coyote Glenn
Lacey Day does it again with another fantastic read! This new series is set in the cozy small town of Coyote Glenn, where everyone knows everyone, and secrets are nearly impossible to keep.
After a heartbreak, Ivy leaves the city behind in search of a fresh start and moves in with her brother, Jesse. He helps her land a job with his best friend, Freddie (who just happens to need a nanny for his spirited little girl), Penny. Penny’s wild imagination and infectious energy make her an absolute delight to read about.
Freddie and his two friends, Mitchell and Timothy (the twins), co-own a tattoo shop. Each of them falls for Ivy in their own way, and when the tension finally boils over, sparks truly fly. Every man brings something different into Ivy’s life, and I adored each of them for it. Despite a few bumps along the way and some steamy, chaotic nights they find their way to a well-deserved happily ever after.
And of course, I have to mention Pickle, the dog, an absolute ball of energy and sass who steals every scene he’s in. I’m really hoping Olivia gets her own HEA next, preferably with a few of Coyote Glenn’s finest men!

This was another good poly romance from Lacey Day. I really enjoy her writing style, and her characters were well fleshed out. There is a lot of angst in this one. Ivy came with a lot of baggage, but then so did Freddie, Mitchell and Timothy. Freddie’s daughter Penny was adorable, but she didn’t seem very realistic to me. As often happens in these books, Penny was extremely wise for her years. I also wasn’t too keen on the side story about Penny’s mom. That just seemed thrown in for added tension and drama that wasn’t needed. And I have to admit that I didn’t feel like the four main characters got together out of a real desire to be a polyamorous group. The quad formed because Ivy couldn’t settle on any of the three men, and they loved her enough to accept that. I would have preferred all four of them choosing the relationship out of want and not necessity. Ah well. It was still an enjoyable read.

Wow! Talk about an emotional roller coaster. Ivy has come to stay with her brother after her relationship broke down in a dramatic way. On her first night she has a one night stand with Mitchell who is a tattoo artist, then she sleeps with her boss Freddie who also is a tattoo artist, but her brothers best friend, and finally she sleeps with Mitchell’s twin brother who is also a tattoo artist. When she discovers that she is pregnant with triplets, she tells her men but dreads the time she has to tell her brother.
There’s a lot going on in the background with Freddie’s ex coming back threatening him to take his daughter after she abandoned her after she gave birth. The guys are fighting amongst themselves and trying to make out their feelings for Ivy. But it all comes to a point where they need to stand up to their responsibilities and go on to a HEA.

It was supposed to be simple—cover up an ex’s name and move on.
Instead, she walked out of Ink & Iron with more than new ink… and a surprise that would change everything.
After crash-landing in the small town of Coyote Glen, she finds herself tangled in the lives of three men who couldn’t be more different:
🔥 Mitchell — the broody tattoo artist who already ruined her once.
☀️ Timothy — his golden-retriever twin with the world’s softest heart (and pancakes).
💀 Freddie — the single dad who sees more than he lets on.
It’s steamy, chaotic, and surprisingly heartfelt. Between the laughs, the heartbreak, and the sizzling tension, this story delivers the perfect blend of heat and heart. The found-family element, especially little Penny, gives it the emotional depth that makes you root for everyone involved.
Ink Me Three Times is messy in the best way — it’s about starting over, finding unexpected love, and realizing that sometimes forever looks nothing like you planned

Cute but hard to follow sometimes
Definitely a cute story and a concept I can get behind. I found the continuity of scenes very hard to keep up with. Almost like the author kept forgetting how they just described someone standing and now suddenly they’re facing the other way without moving. There also would be no mention of something important and then suddenly it’s there now that its purpose has been fulfilled.
The timeline was a bit hard to follow as well, the beginning sounded like just days apart but somehow was weeks between chapters and then it was to be a few days away from something happening and the events of over a week happened before that day came. And then suddenly it’s been 12 weeks but no mention of time passing that way.
It takes me out of the story when I’m trying to figure out when each chapter is compared to the last. Or when someone is sitting on a table but suddenly is fully surrounded by 3 people.

I can highly recommend you read this beautiful, descriptive, funny and heart warming romance which is also very steamy.
Lacey Day's work is brilliant to read and this latest series is no exception, if you haven't read her other series "Men of Medford" and "Aspen Springs" then I suggest you do. No 2 stories are the same, all have very strong characters and storylines that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
Looking for a fresh start with her French bull dog Pickle Ivy goes to stay with her brother Jesse at his cabin, where she meets three dangerously hot men Timothy, Mitchell (the twins) and Freddie and his daughter Penny. There are ups and downs, burning passion and rejection, struggles with feelings, there is plenty to keep you hooked.

I don’t know about this one. The other book of hers I read was much better.
Anyways, I feel like these characters were just pushed together. There wasn’t even any real relationship building. They each slept with her individually and then got upset when they found out they all slept with her. Just to turn it around and say they did this before with other girls? No way.
You don’t get much backstory of any of the characters besides a little of Freddie’s. Even that was pretty vague and simple.
There was a lot of stuff skipped over or just plainly left out of in the writing. Like steps missing in a recipe. That’s was extremely annoying. The timeline was all over the place too. And Penny? She went from being a toddler, 3 or 4 years old. Her mom went from leaving 4 years ago to 3 years ago. It was all a complete mess.
Overall, I liked the book but I wouldn’t recommend it or reread it.
Anyways, I feel like these characters were just pushed together. There wasn’t even any real relationship building. They each slept with her individually and then got upset when they found out they all slept with her. Just to turn it around and say they did this before with other girls? No way.
You don’t get much backstory of any of the characters besides a little of Freddie’s. Even that was pretty vague and simple.
There was a lot of stuff skipped over or just plainly left out of in the writing. Like steps missing in a recipe. That’s was extremely annoying. The timeline was all over the place too. And Penny? She went from being a toddler, 3 or 4 years old. Her mom went from leaving 4 years ago to 3 years ago. It was all a complete mess.

I wanted to smack Ivy at times, For a grown woman, she didn’t know which way or which man she wanted or needed. After a terrible breakup, she ends up in Coyote Glen, staying with her brother. Getting a job as a nanny for his best friend, Freddie.
A night in town ends with Ivy going into a tattoo shop and meeting Mitchell. He gives Ivy a new tattoo that covers up the name of an old boyfriend. Things heat up and they have an incredibly hot encounter. A few weeks later Ivy connects with Timothy, Mitchell’s twin brother. And things heat up with Freddie.
If you’re keeping score, yes Ivy has slept with three friends (who all work at the tattoo shop) and they all want a relationship with her. Drama, heat, an ex wife, a little girl and triplets plus a very happy ending!.
