I Did Before I Do

No Regrets Ink #2

by Adele Niles

Every girl loves a surprise and this one decision changes everything.

I’ve made plenty of bad decisions.
Saving myself for my ex the last seven years was the worst.
Moving back to my hometown takes a close second.
It’s filled with bad boys and bikers.
Everything I escaped from.

And then came Ryker.

The exact opposite of the man of my dreams.
Long, shaggy hair. Built like a tank. Tall. Tattooed.
Bad. Really, really, BAD.

He certainly doesn’t fit into my goody two shoes, good boy checklist I thought I had to have.
But everything about him brings me to my knees and makes me want to do bad boy things.
Including handing over the v*card I have been holding on to.
My head says this is a bad idea.
My body says it’s the perfect decision.

I guess it can’t hurt because I’ve already done this in my head with him a thousand times.

Love hot, tattooed alphas? You’ll love the men of No Regrets Ink. All Alpha, All tattoos, all bad-ass. This is book 2 of the series, and they can be read in any order. All of the books in the No Regrets Ink series have a HEA with no cheating and over the top alpha men.

This was an enjoyable read. Sydney is coming off of a really bad breakup and it's been a while since Ryker has dated. He is still trying to get over his ex. Then these two meet and it changes for them both. Neither was looking for long term but after a short time that's all either of them wants. Luckily after a misunderstanding they get their happy ending.

Transition
Good romance about the maturation of a tattoo artist who until then was more a playboy, with a girl who is still a virgin because she was preserving with her fiance, before discovering that there was only that was concerned by this abstinence.
I really liked Ryker and Sydney's characters. The story remains simple enough, but it is well written and good.

The story was ok. Sydney was recovering from a messy breakup. She is back in her old town still clutching her V card. She is looking for a fun guy to help her live a little. In walks Ryker, the perfect guy to do the job. Ryker seems to be a mystery to Sydney. He is more than he seems. Things progress, misunderstandings and insecurities cause some problems. Good characters and nice banter.

This is the first book from this author that I have read and I really enjoyed it. Sydney moved back home after she broke up her fiancé. She wanted a new start and maybe Ryker is the new thing she needed. She already had a new job so why not. Ryker and Sydney had off the charts chemistry. It was a quick read that you won’t want to put down to see how it ends. It was well written and fast paced. You won’t be disappointed with this book. I will be reading more from this author.

Extremely entertaining, captivating and interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong, intriguing characters. I want to read more from this author.

[Julianne Macneil · Rating 5 out of 5]

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the second book in the No Regrets Ink series. In this book, Sydney moves back to town after her relationship with her fiance falls apart. Sydney is embarrassed about the break up and when she sees Kenzie one night at the bar, she doesn't want to explain what happened. Sydney is now working at a law office and wants to move on. When Sydney sees Ryker, she is instantly attracted to him, but Kenzie tells her he is a player and he never has relationships. Ryker wants Sydney and thinks she would be up for a fun time,, but Kenzie tells him she is a virgin and just ended a long relationship, she tells him to stay away from her. Ryker likes Sydney and still wants to be with her, so he decided to talk to her anyway. Sydney and Ryker decide to go on a date and Sydney is pretty sure she is ready to lose her virginity to Ryker. I really liked this story. I think Ryker was a lot more than anyone thought he was, he was smart and he had been hurt in the past. Sydney wanted to move on, but i think she was not able to just have a fling without feelings. I really like this series and am looking forward to the next book.

Sydney had been saving herself for marriage with her fiancé that is until she came home and found him having sex with a man. She moved back to their hometown and started moving on with her life again. When she met up with an old friend she bumped into Ryker and was attracted to him even though she was warned that he was a player. Sydney wasn't really looking for anything serious right now so exploring things with Ryker was something she wanted to do. Ryker wasn't sure what he wanted from Sydney but he did know that she was different from other women he knew. Soon both knew that what they went in expecting from each other quickly changed into something serious between them. Would the seriousness of their feelings scare Ryker away? Can they make their relationship work?

This is an amazing story about two people getting a second chance a love. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Sydney just broke up with her boyfriend of seven years after finding out he was gay, the hard way. She was saving herself for when they got married. Now all she wants to someone to take her virginity. She’s at the bar with her friends when she spots Ryker, a bad boy biker tattoo artist and she really wants him. Everyone tells her to stay away because he just uses women but she is drawn to him.

This is a sexy, steamy contemporary romantic love story about two people hurt in the past and just want to find something to hold on to. The characters are extremely well detailed making them interesting and personable. You find yourself drawn into their story and hoping they can get together. The narrative is great and the dialogue is well written. It is a rollercoaster of emotions as the two main characters manoeuvre through their personal obstacles and everything else life throws at them. The steamy scenes add to the storyline rather than detract from it. It is a well written hot romance.

This is a new author to me and I am loving this series! I received an advanced reader copy through BookSprout. Ryker and Sydney are explosive together. These two have had heartbreak and disappointment in their lives and are doing the best they can. Sydney is crushed when she finds her fiancé with someone else and moves back to her home town and running into Ryker was the last thing she needed. He’s a player, smoking hot tattoo artist and all kinds of delicious trouble. Her friends warn her to stay away, Ryker is warned to stay away from her, but there’s just something about Sydney that sets her apart from his ex Bay. The banter is so much fun, the insecurities Sydney has, Ryker bringing her out of her shell and realizing that she just might be the one, but one misunderstanding could ruin everything if she won’t listen to what he has to say. Loved this book and I can’t wait for what’s next in this series.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this quick story about Ryker and Sydney. She's came home to get hometown after finding her fiance in bed with a man. She's a virgin who was saving herself for marriage but now she's flustered. She is working for a law firm in town and they've asked her to go for drinks after work one night. Agreeing she goes and runs into one of her friends from high school, Kenzie. Well there she also runs into Ryker whom Kenzie warns her to stay away from. There's just an instant chemistry between the two they can't deny. They throw caution to the wind. Riker is willing to take it slow and see what happens. Sydney knows there's more to Ryker than what he's letting on and she's determined to find out what that is. Great HEA, hope to see more of these two.

Sydney had moved back to her hometown because she came home early one day from work when she heard noises in the bedroom her now ex was cheating with a man, so she packed up got a good job but at 25 she was still a virgin and she was saving that for her wedding night but now not so much. Sydney went to the bar after work with the people from the office she ran into her best friend Kenzie and then a guy had bumped in to her his name is Ryker he’s a bad boy covered in tattoos and he definitely peaked Sydney’s interest but Kenzie warned her about Ryker’s womanising ways but Sydney was stubborn she at least wanted to talk to him but he is so sexy. Fantastic story I loved it and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

[Courtney Turner · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second book in this series. And I have to say it’s pretty addicting.

Sidney has returned home after a brutal heartbreak from her fiancé. And all she wants to do is to finally get rid of her v card.

Ryker is totally not her type but the best way to get rid of the virginity she’s been holding onto for years l. And Ryker is totally up for the job.

Both think this will just be a fling, but of course feeling get involved and two people from two different world collide into an amazing HEA.

Loved this book and can’t wait fir next book in this series

Ryker is a picture perfect bad boy who uses women after a bad break up. Sydney go the shock of a lifetime when she mistakenly finds he ex in a very compromising position. After saving herself for a man who asked her to, only to be betrayed has her returning home. When Ryker and Sydney meet both their worlds instantly change. There’s reputations and misunderstandings and the past that presents obstacles that could keep them apart. The betrayal of the ex was the biggest shock, you’ll need to read to find out the spoiler.

Here we have a really sweet romance with the neccessary heartbreaks and difficulties of life and dating. This one has a good storyline and solid characters. There is a continuance from the first story in that sense that we get to hear a bit about the people we got to know in the first story. It is simply said a sweet summer romance that is ideal to read in an evening or so. It is well deserving of the four stars I am giving it here.

4 1/2 Stars

A cute couple in Ryker and Sydney in this sweetly intense and graphic contemporary romance. Sydney was deeply hurt by her childhood love and fiancé as he betrayed her while making plans for their wedding.
I loved the way Ryker responded to Sydney. His long list of conquests became a short list with just Sydney as he realized that his feelings for her were deep.
Super graphic and intensely passionate scenes between these two!

[Sharon · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is the first one I have read by this author, although this is book 2 in the series, I had no problems as it reads just like a standalone novel. Sydney returns to her hometown with a broken heart and meets Ryker, who under usual circumstances she’d steer clear of, but they have amazing chemistry. This story does end with a HEA but there’s a long way to get there for this couple. It’s a really great story that is very well written and a joy to read.

Short, sweet, steamy, satisfying

I Did Before I Do (No Regrets Ink Book 2) by Adele Niles is a fun read with lovable characters. Sydney is recovering from heartbreak, but with a positive attitude. I love it that she’s not wallowing. Ryker, on the other hand, has taken the spurned by love to the extreme, becoming a player. I am absolutely a fan of alpha meets his match and falls without warning. I Did Before I Do definitely fits that and more.
Overall, a good book that gets to the relationship quick, with little adversity, a lot of steam and a hopeful HEA.

[Holly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sydney,curvy beautiful women who saved herself for the love. The love of her life is ex and prefers boys. She that by her own eyes. Now she has to do something with this VCard
Ryker,hot sexy tattoo artist,tattooed bad boy,ok,maybe not that bad. His girlfriend is ex now and he has broken heart.
Between misunderstandings, bad past is a lot for them to get involved again.
Will they?

[Brandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Setting aside the implausibility of Sydney (and her sex drive) being with one man for 7 YEARS without sex, this is a fun story. It’s cute, funny, sweet....and feels like it’s missing about 5 chapters with the way it jumps from one phase of the relationship to the next. The final chapter feels like an epilogue, but the chapters that should be leading up to it just aren’t there. So that part was a let-down, but I’m interested in the different characters introduced that will likely star in their own books.

Sydney and Ryker have great chemistry. The writing is good. The backstory is interesting. The continuation of the group of friends is fun. I like that there isn't too much angst. I like that Sydney and Ryker can solve their issues without so much whining, doubt and hand wringing. Kenzie is a good friend and I like her a lot in tis story.

A compelling, passionate, steamy fun read! The storyline is fast pace, well though-out, funny, witty, and emotionally deep. The characters are amazing; their chemistry is instant, potent, and off the charts. This book will captivate you from page one and hold your interest until the very end. Definitely recommended!

Sydney works at Hills and Bridges law office as a paralegal. She is back in Richland and runs into her close friend Kenzie at The Republic bar. Ryker is an artist at No Regrets tattoo shop. He has a mastiff mix dog named Daisy. There is steamy chemistry between Sydney and Ryker but Ryker has not dated since he got his heart broken years ago. This has betrayal, friendship, secrets and so much more.

Another great book in this series. Two people who are harboring a broken heart meet through mutual friends. Neither ready for anything serious so they approach any hookups as flings. Of course there are the well-meaning friends who interfere and other roadblocks. A very satisfying sensual read!

This is a sweet story, it is paced really well and then all of a sudden rushes to finish and just ends. It was very odd, like a couple chapters were missing, which is a shame because the characters were amazing. Worth reading to continue the story about the No Regrets Tattoo Shop.
