Just finished reading this new instalment of the Exotic Ink Series, and I was not disappointed.
With all these sexy tattoo artists floating around it’s about time our main leading lady gets her turn, and we get a good background story as to why she is there and what she is afraid of.
Then enter, our simply drop dead, sexy, total player, who is for Evana, our leading lady, her Kryptonite, an old flame from way back in the day.
Jason, as it turns out, is not the total player that she believes him to be, and he devotes his time to try and convince her of that.
Wonderful background, terrific sub-plots, with twists and turns that put all out main characters at risk.
The introduction of a paranormal side threw me for a couple of pages, but then became integral to the storyline, and allowed for the new series to be introduced.
I love all the characters, they have flaws just like everyone else, and with the new characters that have been introduced, I cannot wait to read their stories and see what secrets they have to tell.
I am also waiting for the next book in the Exotic series as I am curious to see how Gabriel’s story unfolds.
Would totally recommend this to anyone looking for a good gritty, sexy read.

His & Her POV’s with sprinkle of Mythical
Jason can be read as a standalone but I would read the other books in the series to get to know the characters.
Vehn (Exotic Ink #1) Vehn & Callie's story
Tegan (Exotic Ink #2) Tegan & Rayna's story
Firstly I was given the honour of proofreading this amazing book, so thank you LS I love you my cyber friend💋💋💋
LS Anders has done it again this book has it all, great friendships, loyalty, lust, passion, love, secrets, hate, revenge, seriously hot sex and to top it off some Mythical powers. Yes we get introduced to the sexy hotties coming in the spin-off series Mythical Ink 🔥🔥🔥
This book is a complete page turner and I didn't want the book to end, I have a major addiction to the characters in these books, they're all special for different reasons and if I was gonna get tatted up I know where I'd wanna go.
⛔️⛔️⛔STOP, HALT SOME ️SPOILERS AHEAD ⛔️⛔️⛔

Jason and Evana were torn apart two decades ago after one night of passion. He has never stopped thinking about her and working his way from one tattoo parlour to the next always hoping he would see her again. Jason has been man-whoring his way through life never committing, that is until he gets to work with Evana, the sex is hot but now he knows what it feels like to be used for just being a good lay. He won't give up and the road is rocky as hell, but with the help of some new friends you never know what the future will bring.
Evana owner of Exotic Ink had been a widow of 5 years and craves a warm hot blooded male, and that just happens to be the new man in her parlour and the one she gave her V card to. Evana has been keeping a massive secret from everyone and Jason is the only one that really knows her. They get closer the sex is the best she's ever had and hotter than sin, but he's a man-whore that would never commit, and there's also the guilt factor she’s feeling if she moves on from Kyle. Then the Shit hits the fan, the past is haunting her and about to tear her world apart.
Will they get an HEA?
Has too much time passed to have true love?
Or will decisions be taken out of their hands?

I liked Jason's and Evana's story a lot. It's their second chance at happiness that both of them thought to have lost forever. Jason, because it took him 20 years to find Evana and Evana because five years ago she lost her husband, Kyle.
They share a history, one date that has carved into their memories and 20 years later, the fire is still burning, and more time they spend together at Exotic Ink, the hotter it burns. But they have their issues. Every move Evana makes towards Jason, she feels like betraying Kyle. And she doesn't trust Jason, the flirty ladies man that he is. And top of all that, she has a secret past that is slowly creeping up on her.
Jason works hard to earn Evana's trust, but she keeps pushing him away, and Jason isn't sure how many of these rejections he can take.
LS Anders has written a story with a good flow, every word is there for a reason and I like how the characters we have got to know in the previous installments, are still very much present. That is important for me in reading series, that life goes on for all the characters, and as readers, we get to see glimpses of that too, not only the main couple. It was a lot of everything, from steamy hot scenes into fear-filled ones. And then there's the introduction of the guys working at newly opened Mythical Ink. If you thought that the hunks in Exotic Ink are hot, wait until you meet this bunch! I'm excited waiting for the first book in the coming spin-off series.

After years of hiding in plain sight, she had developed a habit of becoming very aware of her environment and who and what was around her. (14% Kindle edition)
Jason works hard to earn Evana's trust, but she keeps pushing him away, and Jason isn't sure how many of these rejections he can take.
Even after all this time of waiting for her, he never wanted to admit to himself that she didn't want him in return, but a piece of his soul died as he realized it would always be like this with her. If he didn't cut his own heartstrings now, he was setting himself up for a lifetime of hurt. (55% Kindle edition)

So much happens in this story it's hard to pick what to say in the review. This author has a way of bringing out not only the passion but a story that makes you fall in love with the characters and melt into the story. This one has some excitement and new paranormal folks added into the mix. There is something special about the folks that seem to be there and assist when needed. A well rounded story that will have your heart beating with the intrigue and excitement and your other part weeping from want.
Although these are standalone reads there are carryover characters and a hint to some underlying secrets soon to be revealed. This author has once again done us good with this book in the series.

Review Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Things have just gotten WAY more interesting...and I can't wait for more!
I received an Advance Reader Copy for Jason: Exotic Ink Series (Book #3) written by LS Anders and voluntarily reviewed this book. Jason Gales gets a second chance to reconnect with his first real love, Evana Grey, two very long decades later. Evana had disappeared entirely from his life one night, and since then he’s never forgotten about her, even though he continued to flirt and be a player. Now, Jason has sold his own tattoo parlor business and came out on the advice of his close-friend and apprentice, Teagan, to apply for the manager position at Exotic Ink. It turns out that the long-lost Evana has been hiding out her whole life from her mother’s nasty rival MC, and she has managed to make a good life for herself on the East Coast and in the very same business, too. However, with the death of her husband Kyle, she now runs the parlor, but her heart is still in mourning, and she might not be ready to include childhood-first-crush Jason in it again.
At this point, I hesitate to describe much more of the storyline, because this installment is actually filled with many events, where we see a continuation of the lives of the rest of the Exotic Ink tattoo artists, but also includes a much heavier supernatural thread than expressed previously in the first two books, taking it into the paranormal trope. As well, there is the circling of Evana’s past into her present, adding suspense and action, and the introduction of a new cast of intriguing tattoo artists to add to what is already an interesting set of characters. The red-hot chemistry between Evana and Jason is developed in this book, adding sexy and enticing elements to their relationship development.

Finally, the third installment in LS Anders' Exotic Ink Series - YES! I have been hanging out for this and, have to say, much as I loved the previous two, this one blew them out of the water. Evana owns Exotic Ink, the tattoo parlour featured in the previous books, and while outwardly in control, still mourns her husband who died five years previously and hides a secret. Jason is her newest hire, but he is also part of her past, the past Evana has been running from for twenty years. Unsure Jason will even recognise her, Evana is stunned by her attraction to him, even after all this time, and is astonished to discover, that not only does Jason remember her, he still loves her, he never stopped - seems some things you can't run from. Unfortunately the secret Evana has been concealing is about to rear its ugly head, placing everything and everyone she loves, in serious jeopardy.
I could not put this down - a brilliant novel, fast paced, high energy, plenty of steamy scenes, all woven into a great plot, which continually twists and turns, as Evana and Jason are joined by the wonderfully eclectic mix of characters we have come to love. This story also introduces a paranormal element, hints of which already lurked throughout the other two books, and the owners of Mythical Ink are as intriguing as they are hot - yes, of course they're hot!
This can be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend you read Vehn and Tegan too...its a total win win...! Thank you Ms Anders, Jason is sublime!

Wow! Jason is the third book in the Exotic Ink Series and is my favourite out of all three of the books so far in the series. LS Anders writing just keeps getting better and better! I can’t wait for other books in the series and spin off series to be released.
Jason is such a sweetheart! He has been known to be a bit of a ladies man but since moving to New York he has stopped his playboy ways, as he has eyes on the only women that will ever touch his heart.
Evana is a stubborn women. She is widowed and runs the tattoo parlour her husband left for her after he passed away. Evana has a deadly secret, but what is it? Can Jason and Evana have a future together?
This book had me hooked from the first page, I couldn’t put it down and read the whole thing in a few hours. Out of the three books in the series, this one made me cry the most! I just felt so sad for Jason in parts and just wanted to fix his bleeding heart. He is such a hopeless romantic and it made me love his character all the more. I loved how he finally got a smile like Tegan’s. Finally questions about Avie were answered! And the intro to Vex and Alea was great, I can’t wait to read their story! Thanks so much LS for a fantastic series! Can’t wait to read more once they are released.

You never forget your first love, and in Jason's case, you never stop loving your first love. Evanna and Jason knew each other in high school, but due to her mother's involvement with a MC, Evanna left the area with her aunt in the middle of the night. Twenty years later, Jason and Evanna are reunited only to know that neither of them have forgotten what they shared. But can Evanna allow herself to find love again after the death of her husband? Or will her past come back to haunt her and end any idea of finding happiness? This was the third book in the Exotic Ink series and I would have to say this one was my favorite. The reader cannot help but fall in love with Jason and with each page that turned you could feel the love between the two main characters. Once again LS Anders does not disappoint.

Love This Series!!!
This is the third book in this series and I am still as enamored with these characters as when I read book one. Jason is an AMAZINGLY, loving Alpha male and I was glad to read his and Evana's story. I was extremely happy to see Evana break through the shell she had around herself, with a little help and allow Jason and others in.
As always, with my OCD, I will inform when there were a few errors because that's what I do. But, nothing that would detract from my immense pleasure of reading this book. I am SO looking forward to reading more in this series and to find out where this author takes us with the other more "interesting" tattoo shop.
5-Exotic-STARS!!

Loved! This series is awesome, I'd highly recommend all three books but you could read this as a standalone if you have to!!!
LS Anders, you're a truly talented writer! I will honestly say that I was glued to my iPad from the very first page...
Jason was in love with Evana as a kid. He's devastated when hedge leaves without any explanation! Fast forward to adulthood and she's back! will Jason still want her? Will she be able to find the strength to overcome her fears? Will each of them give the other a second chance?!?
Tons of feels, sexy times, some angst...loved Jason's story! If you love second chance romance, I'd highly recommend this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read! I loved it :)

I really enjoyed this story. A second chance at love after being apart for 20 years. Jason and Evana cross paths after all this time. But things are never easy. With some hot sex, some amazing secondary characters and throw in one big secret, you have another great book in an incredible series. It can be read as a standalone but don't miss out on the first 2 books that are equally awesome. Find out if Jason can win back Evana's trust and live happily ever after!! What is she hiding??? I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review and would highly recommend it if you like hot guys, hot sex and lots of love.
November 7, 2017
Jason is a very superficial, charming flirt, as far as most are concerned but in reality he is one hell of a dedicated man! The previous books didn't give us much insight to Evana and her back story was more than I was expecting. Sparks fly from the beginning with this couple but will the past stop them from having a future? I've been waiting for the next book in this series and I feel like the wait was worth it. I'm very intrigued with the new character's brought in, that opened it up for a spin off series.
November 8, 2017
I can't stop Smiling!!
OMG!!! Jason's book has so much that you just won't be able to put it down! He is so such a great add to this family and he is such a sweetheart like the rest of the men in this series. We also have a lot of action that gets pretty hairy that you have to hold your breath for and hope it comes out ok! God i LOVE this author!! Her characters are Awesome and so full of life. It really is hard to put down these books! I can't wait for her new are because i love these new characters!

This is the second book that I have read by L.S. Anders, and I really enjoyed it. I read the first book Vehn in the Exotic Ink Series. I did not read the read book 2 Tegan before book 3. I wish I had read book 2 before hand because at certain times I felt like I was missing something. The story flowed really well, I just felt like I didn't know some of the other characters that are from book 2. Overall I would recommend this book.
November 6, 2017
This book is fantastic!
I couldn’t put it down! It held my attention from start to finish!
This book is filled with secrets, revenge, lust, love and hot, hot sex!
It was a roller coaster ride all the way through!
Jason loved Evana most of his life. He tries to convince her to give them a chance. He pause comes back to haunt her.
Will they get the chance for a new start?
This is a must read!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series!

I love second chance stories and that’s what this is. Jason and Evana met as kids. Evana left suddenly and 20 years later she comes back. Can they pick up the pieces?
No spoilers here!

This book was awesome. It took a turn I never seen coming and I have to say it blew me away. It can be read as a stand alone but is better if you read the other two. Add in Mystic Ink and this is a rockin series. I can not wait for more. This is a must read.

SPOILER ALERT: THIS IS BOOK 3 IN THE EXOTIC INK SERIES. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ VEHN (BOOK 1) AND TEGAN (BOOK 2), THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
Evana Grey's a woman with deep, guarded secrets. No one knows of her past, and that's exactly how she intends to keep it. It's been five years since her husband, Kyle, passed away, leaving her sole owner of Exotic Ink, the best tattoo parlor on the East Coast, maybe in the whole country. Evana loved Kyle deeply. But even he never knew her secrets. When a series of events leaves Evana shorthanded and overstressed, she takes Tegan's suggestion and contacts his former boss, Jason Gales, to offer him the job of manager and tattoo artist at Exotic Ink. Jason's just sold his own business in Boston and readily accepts. There's just one hitch. Jason's no stranger to Evana. In fact, the two have a long history going back over 20 years. Jason's searched for Evana ever since she mysteriously disappeared from their hometown. But Evana's changed. Not even Jason knows the extent and depth of her secrets. Although Jason's never stopped loving Evana, and he fully intends to win her over at any cost, he's not prepared to deal with the walls Evana's built. She's too guarded, too careful. She won't let anyone get close. Mortal danger will do that to a person. As she and Jason share an office and tattoo workspace, Evana finds the old attraction to Jason is much harder to fight that she thought. Jason tries and tries, but Evana refuses to let them be more than friends. Jason wants so much more, but even he can only take so much. As Jason makes a fateful decision to move on, Evana's past suddenly reappears, threatening everyone and everything she holds dear. What can she do? She's terrified, with good reason. She can't ask her employees, her adopted family, the people she loves so much, to help her. She drove Jason away. How can she turn to him now? And she won't lose anyone to the evil that's been stalking her for so long. Even if she could ask Jason for help, after all her rejections, would he even want to? And what of her employees, her adopted family? Tegan, Rayna, Vehn, Callie, Avie, Cale, Gabriel, Dylan...all want to help but she can't let them get near, can she? But there are forces at play of which no one, not Evana, not even Jason, is aware. Can they be enough? Will they be able save Evana, Jason, and the rest? Or will they all pay the price for a 20-year old vendetta that never should have been Evana's problem in the first place?
LS Anders is another new author for me. She was highly recommended by a number of friends, and I'm very glad I read this book. I loved it from beginning to end. Ms. Anders has written a combination of mystery, thriller, and romance, and she's done it very well. I loved the ever-present suspense and mystery in this book. You never know what's going to happen next. While the main focus of the story is the relationship, past and present, of Evana and Jason, I also fell in love with all the supporting characters. They're quirky, unique, creative, and so very special. Ms. Anders has created a rare combination of raw grittiness, deep emotions, and even touches of the supernatural in this book. The emotions are real and run the gamut from silliness, laughter, absolute terror, tears, anger, and the depths of passion and friendship. I felt every second of Evana's terror, uncertainty, and her eventual acceptance of reality, despite her reluctance to do so. Jason is so unique: an artist extraordinaire, determined, seemingly obsessed, but yet willing to do anything for those around him. There's nothing about this story I didn't love, especially the totally unexpected ending which left me wanting more! I've added another author to my favorites. Congratulations, Ms. Anders, on an absolutely riveting book.
One final note. Please be an informed reader and consumer! This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language, sexual scenes, and some violence. If you don't enjoy this genre, think hard before buying any book you know you won't enjoy. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and all booksellers' websites. Use these resources. DON'T LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WON'T ENJOY THE BOOK. It's not fair to the author! She works extremely hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you'll object to the book's subject matter before you buy it, you're doing yourself and the author an extreme disservice.
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Already loved this series now it's my new obsession!!
Great addition to the series.
This is a second chance at love story both characters take you on a journey in this book torn apart when they were young. Evana's life hasn't been easy now a widow she struggles with letting Jason in but don't worry he doesn't let that stop him!
The secondary characters help tie in all the books in this series but add so much to every book.
I love them all but we got a real treat in this book we was introduced to a HOT new group of mystical tattooist.
The paranormal twist has me really looking forward to the spin off series 'Mythical ink'
L.S. Anders done it again can't wait for the next one!

It was a wonderful way to start my 2018 challenge!
I really loved the story, I loved Jason and whenever he spoke of Evana I wanted to get inside the book and hug him. So sweet. But don’t fool yourself thinking this is a soft romance. Nuh-huh, this is steamy hot! And probably my favorite of this series so far. The only thing is that I thought this was just a contemporary romance so I was a little confused with all the . It’s not that I didn’t like it, it’s just that I didn’t expect it. Still a great read!

A great book. Hard to put down once you pick it up to read. Jason had been in love with Evana most his life. An has been looking for her since the night, that her and her aunt left town. Now they are finally back together. But there have been a lot of obstacles in the way of getting there.
