short and sweet bundle
Carved by ink
Short and full of drama. Trial by fire as Tess says it was definitely try. They hit the ground running with their relationship of attacking and then coming together. They had raw chemistry. And since both were at vulnerable places seemed to bark and bite when backed into a corner they didn’t want to deal with. Good story.
Bound by ink
Good story. I liked holly and how she was starting a new chapter in her life. Tattoos are awesome for marking new beginnings or endings. I liked Kane. He was adorably sexy. I’m that out your foot in your mouth way. Their first meeting was hilarious. Honestly o get both sides about not telling him about Dylan. It was still early in their relationship and her thoughts should always be about Dylan first. But I also get Kanes side. She lied by omission. And that’s fact. Having a kid is a big deal and not something you would hide. He took everything in stride even dealing with her a-hole ex.
Forged with ink
Wow what a happenstance story. For childhood best friends and sweethearts to meet again ten years after losing touch. Poor Sophia she has gone through so much. And I u sweat and why she didn’t want to burden Rocco and let him live his life. I also got his perspective. She took away his choice and he loved her above all else and it wasn’t ok that she took that decision from him and then hid how sick she was later. I love Rocco for trying to see his comparability. The ending was adorable.

4 1/2 Stars! London Inked Boys complete series. All stand-alone short and sweet with a little steamy! Each book told in dual POV and about a different tattoo artist at the Carved in Ink studio and them finding their HEA! Even though novella length there is detail and back stories to the characters.
Carved in Ink –Tess relocates to London having just inherited a building. She desperately needs this new start. Art gets notice that the building housing his tattoo studio has a new landlord. He doesn’t know how he can afford the increase in his rent. I liked the chemistry between Tess and Art! I loved where they were at 8 weeks into the future!
Bound by Ink – Kane is tired of the “one night only, no relationship” policy at the studio. He is envious of the relationship between Art and Tess. Holly is getting her first tattoo to signify her new start. There is sparks and more between them, but Holly doesn’t have just herself to bring to a relationship. I loved how Kane was ready to open his heart to Holly AND her son!
Forged with Ink – Rocco is the last single man at Carved in Ink. Sophia and Rocco grew up as neighbors and best friends until her family moved away 10 years ago. Sophia and Rocco have a chance meeting and realize they still have all the same feelings for each other, but can Sophia be honest about why she didn’t stay in touch all those years ago. Rocco is super sweet, caring, and understanding and accept Sophia as she is! Loved the epilogue!!

Carved in Ink – Great short story showing how first impressions and stereotypes cannot always be relied upon. Amazing chemistry fires up between Art and Tess after their initial reserved opinions of each other.
Bound by Ink - The second book in the series follows Kane, a tattoo artist who has an unexpected reaction to his customer, showing once again that stereotypes should be ignored. Throw an ex husband and a young child into the mix to complicate matters further, can Kane and Holly work through their differences?
Forged with Ink - Book 3 starts with a real twist of fate which leads to Rocco working on his day off and meeting up with his childhood sweetheart. Can they work past the problems and secrets which have kept them apart all these years?

A compelling box set of amazing, enjoyable, and exciting read-worthy romances. The amazing storylines are emotionally deep, well written, witty, funny, and relatable. The plots are well-developed, consistent, interesting, engaging, and the stories move along at a brisk pace. Each book is unique with characters that are loveable, strong, and has great depth. The chemistry between them is steamy and off the charts. The stories will tug your heart strings, make you smile, and hold your interest until the end. Highly recommended!

Great!
I chose this rating because I enjoyed this book. That just booked with this series of the London ink guys. This set of books were very compassionate and they set the tone for helping one another and doing what you can to try to help your fellow man or your fellow woman. I really enjoyed this series because it touched on several different subjects. Pretty good series. I recommend this book to all compassionate and romantic people.

This is a box set of romance stories each featuring a different sexy alpha member of a London tattoo studio. Each book is a stand alone and has well described characters who have great chemistry with each other. The individual books each have an interesting plot that held my interest.

This was a great set of books with intriguing characters and wonderful storylines. I really enjoyed reading back to back stories because once I was immersed into these characters and the way the author brought them to life, I wasn't ready to let them go.

Very nicely done!
These 3 stories are great! They are all standalone stories but they all about men and tattoos. Highly recommend lovely read.

Great read!
Hard to put down! Once you start you are pulled into the lives of the London Inked Boys, and the women who fall for the bad boys.

I gave up..... After several chapters I felt no investment in the characters and felt like the writing was too jumpy.

Great trilogy
These stories were so great that it left me wishing for more installments or bonus chapters. The characters are so real I just want to keep reading their stories.

3 great stories based in a London tattoo studio.
3 totally different stories
The last one got me - Marissa is well informed and all the facts were correct.
