JAMISON: Whiskey & Ink

by Lena Black, Julie Cameron (Editor), Joshua Minette (Editor)

Abby Delaney wasn't expecting Jamison O'Rourke when she scurried into his North End tattoo parlor late one night. She was seeking sanctuary from the shadowy figure following her. The same shadow that always follows her. However, by the end of the night, she got more than she bargained for. Like a new hip tattoo and the interest of the mysterious artist who put it there.
Jamison is inked, rough around the edges, and absolutely irresistible. He's the bad boy of Abby's dreams. But dark secrets loom behind his mismatched eyes.
Abby wants Jamison.
Jamison wants Abby.
His past wants to destroy them both.
He warned her there would be casualties—she should’ve realized her heart would be one.

This is a standalone novella in a series of standalones.

What do you get when you have a hot tattoo guy and a tough girl Abby , a great suspenseful love story .

[Leanne · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved everything about Metal & Lace, the first book in this series, so when Lena announced this novella I was on it like a car bonnet.
First things first...Lena knows how to write a hot male lead. Man, Jamison is delicious. He really fits the bill, brusque and moody, quiet yet dominant and protective. He plays the part perfectly.
Abby is strong and ballsy. Just the type of woman I like to see in a book. None of this namby pamby I need a man to live stuff and towards the end, my heart broke for her.
I really enjoyed this story, despite the predictability of it all. That's the thing with Lena's writing. She has this knack of drawing you in with her characters. I felt like I really needed to finish reading their story.
I would have loved this to have been longer, to really get to see the bloom in their relationship, but then it wouldn't be the book it is now.
Fingers crossed for more from the O'Rourke and Delaney clans in the future...and I hope to God that man Gunnar Haze makes more of an appearance, now we know how he fits into their lives!

First let me say, yes I am a huge fan of Ms. Blacks. I have said this before and I will say it again.. if she wrote the dictionary-I’d read it and probably adore every word.

That being said. I really like both these characters. Jamison is rough and raw where Abby is softer and more charming.

I love the story line of the bad boy and good girl who fall in love and he’s trying not too.

My one and only complaint is.. I wanted more. I feel like these characters didn’t get a chance to really bloom. I devoured this story in two hours and it left me wanting to hear more about their story.

Will I recommend this book.. duh. I have already sent messages to my reader friends. It’s a great quick read!

This was a great read. The hero and heroine are complete opposites...but the spark of attraction is there from the start. She's sweet...he's heavily inked and from a notorious family, but they want each other.
I'm not a lover of tattoos, but Jamison intrigued me. He was gruff and menacing, but he had a tender heart where Abby was concerned.
I guessed the twist, and was relieved when I was proved right.
My only complaint...it wasn't long enough.
More from this couple, please.

She did it again!

I didn't think I could live characters anymore than dominant but you just proved me wrong. Ok queen you did your damn thang now give me more. You made me happy, you made me mad, you made me sad and then you blew it all away and said here chew on this and then dropped me off a cliff. I'm sorry give me more woman!

Meh. Needed a good edit - the tenses were all over the place and some of the words were not what the author was intending. Also pretty tame compared to what the author's other books look like. Read as part of the Reckless anthology.

What can I say about Jamison ? I loved it , I love how he looks like a big bad guy but was all tender under it all. I just wish it was longer. I can't wait for more from Lena !!!!
