Bolt
I've lived my life exactly like you imagine a rockstar would.
The booze, the drugs, and so, so many women.
I had it all and did it all.
Until I walked into a tattoo shop and met her.

Peyton didn't see me as Bolt, my stage persona.
She saw me for me.
There was something between us.
Something invisible, electric and undeniable.
It pushed us together and pulled us apart... again and again.
Despite it all, I knew Peyton had to be mine.
Until she was brutally taken from me.
And my seemingly perfect world came crashing down.

This collection contains:
1. TEMPTATION
Right out the box, I'll say this. There could be trigger points so if you're prone, be advised. The book immediately shows Sam, lead singer of Rancid Vengeance, overcome with grief after returning from Peyton's memorial service, drinking vodka straight out of the bottle crying uncontrollably. Having taken a hand full of pills with his drink he takes a bread knife and proceeds to start slashing his wrist trying to escape the pain while someone is beating on his door.
This is a Rock Star Romance. It's fun, it's light, it has its angst and drama. It has it's good and bad guys. And it's a well-written story with relatable, lovable and hateable characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the book while trying to find out what brought about the Sam's pain. This book ends with a cliffhanger that you can make assumptions about but with no definite ending yet, so be prepared. Amiee Louise has done her job well by keeping her readers entertained, engrossed, and definitely spellbound waiting to see what happens.

2. REVELATIONS
Fair Warning: There is a major cliffhanger at the end of this book!!! I just thought the first book, "Temptation", was good. This one will grab hold of you and not let go throughout its entirety. Sam and Peyton are such large personalities unto themselves and then you bring in the mix of characters surrounding the band, their friends and family and you have so many emotions, storylines, backstories, and betrayals slithering through. This truly is one that pulled a plethora of emotion from me and just as my heartbeat could be heard in my ears, Amiee Louise has me expelling a breath I didn't realize I was holding. As a reader, I'm aghast!!! As a follower of her stories, I say great job, well done!!

3. CONFESSIONS
This series just keeps getting better and better with each book. Amiee Louise has created a storyline that just grabs hold and doesn't let go once you start. No characters, other than the strong characters she's created, could hold up under the rollercoaster ride of events and emotions like these do. More and more details continue to unfold as the plot is further laid out but will these seemingly star crossed lovers and bandmates make it? Will there be a true happily ever after when it boils down to it? Don't miss this one. You're sure to find some of the answers you've been asking yourself.

4. NO REGRETS
Holy Toledo Batman!! If you've been reading the "Tatoo and Tears" series then I know you've been waiting for this one. Peyton and Sam have literally been through hell and back just getting to this point. What happens here? You'd never believe me if I told you. Just know Amiee Louise has taken these characters, placed them in a plot that will twist and turn keeping you dumbfounded, bringing out every emotion (including a pause to grab the tissue), and then leaving you giddy by the end of the book. Not only is this one of the most heartfelt, emotionally relatable books I've read in a while, it was the perfect ending to an outstanding series. Congratulations.

Tattoos and Tears is a set of four books that you can purchase individually but i recommend that you get the set as the first three books end with a cliffhanger with the exception of the fourth book.
The four books are
Temptations
Revelations
Confessions
No Regrets
Firstly i have to say that i couldnt stand the way the characters were speaking to each other and once i got into the British lingo i was so caught up in this epic journey of love between British rockstar and frontman Sam aka Bolt and tattoo artist Peyton that i couldnt put e-reader down until i finished reading all four books......
When Sam walked into the tattoo studio and saw Peyton he knew his life would change......drastically......Peyton was the only woman that saw him...the real Sam and understood him..... she would be the woman that drew out the possessive side in him that wanted to take care of her and love her......even when she wasn't around he loved her
this book is filled with drama, suspense, high octane sexual chemistry, jealousy, betrayal, heartbreaking revelations and shocking surprises that will have you gasping in shock and also in relief...a truelly emotional book that will have you weeping at times, grinning and cursing.
I one hundred percent recommend that you read this book

Tattoos & Tears: The Complete Collection includes Temptations, Revelations, Confessions, and No Regrets. This is the complete saga of Sam and Peyton's story of life, love, and loss. This is a heartbreaking and emotional collection that captured both my attention and my heart from the beginning and kept it to the end. There is life and death, suspense and drama, sorrow and joy, new birth, emotions, tragedy, and a love for all time.

The books in this collection are the first I have read from this author but cannot be the last if this powerful collection is any indication of her writing.

I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.

[Holly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great set! So glad they are together because cliffhanger would kill me
This is the third story in the Tattoos and Tears series and is not resolved by any means.
You need to read them in order.
This is an emotional story like previous one and on dark side. Is intense romance with chemistry out of the roof and suspense that will keep you turning pages
As much I enjoyed this continuation in Peyton and Sam’s story I’m not happy with ending.
Now you have to all Books for yourself.

This is a four book, complete series collection that tells the amazingly emotional journey of Sam and Peyton. Sam is a rock star that has lived and breathed the persona to a T. But walking into a tattoo shop and meeting Peyton turns his world upside down. Peyton knows who Sam is but treats him as a man and not his stage persona. This is the start of this amazing ride, hold onto your hats, have a tissue or two handy and make yourself cozy. This was a great collection and one heck of a journey. Enjoy!

Loved the books they were great, the stories were well written and the characters are interesting. Once I started I could not put the book down from start to finish you just could not get enough with twists and turns hot and steamy like a rollercoaster ride of emotions that makes you want more with Bolt is gorgeous he went to a tattoo shop and that was it, he liked Peyton a lot, the chemistry between them is hot and steamy.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

I’m kinda speechless

This was an absolutely amazing series. It has much to it that you can’t even begin to touch them all. It’s. It just a rockstar romance it’s a rockstar life story. It has the typical sex drug and rock-n-roll but it has so much life along with all of it. Harsh reality, love, drama, murder, kidnapping, and on and on. It’s so worth every minute it took to read it. I absolutely loved it.

[Amy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Intense, sexy and rip your guts out emotional. This journey encompasses the entire emotional gambit. Falling in love, fallout, reconnecting and extreme loss. My heart hurts for this beautifully written story.

Amazing read!

Series was awesome, loved Sam and Payton. They had so many ups and downs. The box set had so many twist and turns. And was filled with love, mystery and heartache. Would love to see a story about the other band members and how their story ends.

[Annette · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rock stars

Wow that was a hard read. Words repeated way to much. Some time line stuff didn’t make sense and it was just way to much baby.
The story line was good but the writing not so much, did my head in. But in saying that , I really wanted to know what was going to happen.

[Kristen DeSando · Rating 1 out of 5]

Couldn’t finish

I tried to like it but just couldn’t. I read the first book and a couple chapters of the second and couldn’t get past the 20 “babes” and “honeys” on each page and how ridiculous Peyton is. Sorry...definitely won’t be finishing.

[Abigail · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good

Would of been a 5 but it took 3 books for me to really get into it the words babe were so over used it became so annoying however I did love the last books and then I didn't want to put it down

[Tayra Sanders · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading this book very much. This story has a good plot and well-developed characters and they have good chemistry.

[Joanne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wow

I loved the story line and characters but it was dragged out as well. I read it TIL the end but it could of been tied up with a lot less bullshit

[Michelle Aranda · Rating 3 out of 5]

Needs a less flaky female lead

Peyton was a very annoying character. I enjoyed the storyline for the most part but Peyton just annoyed me. Chemistry was good though

Rollercoaster Ride

It was an awesome read. Keeps you on edge from beginning to end. Love wins every time. Lots of twists and turns. Loved it. Best read in a long time.

[Glenda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read these individually back in January and I'm so happy it's finally in a box set! Here are my reviews:
Temptations (Bought It!)-When Sam walks into the tattoo shop where Peyton works, the attraction is instant, for both of them. This could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship, but will their past mistakes and heartbreaks let them build a future together?
Wonderful start to this series! I can't wait to start the next one.
Revelations-Sam and Peyton have overcome a lot, but this latest surprise may prove to be too much. Will it be the end of a new beginning?
I was in tears no less than 3 times while reading this, some happy, some sad...such a delicious roller coaster! I loved it and I'm starting the next book in the series as soon as I hit Submit on this review!
Confessions-I really can't say too much about what happens in this book or I'll spoil it for you. It's the 3rd in the series and just like the first two, it leaves you on the edge of your seat wondering if Sam and Peyton will ever get there happily ever after. But I will say this, I will never again believe a character is dead until I read that they've seen and buried the body...sigh...that was stressful! I've got the 4th book on que to start as soon as possible. I strongly advise getting them all and reading them in order. Great series so far!!!
No Regrets-If your an impatient person like me, you'll definitely want to read this series all in order, one after the next, as quickly as possible! If I'd only had book one, I'd have gone batty waiting for the next one. I really enjoyed this series and it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
The things Peyton and Sam go through in the first three books would have ended most people, but they're still here. They're both fighters and have survived so much but will these next challenges be too much? Their relationship is shaky at best. Will it endure these new temptations and heart breaks? You've got to read this series!

An interesting story that takes place over a period of two years and involves several characters. The two major ones are Peyton, a tattoo artist, and Sam, a rockstar. The first day they meet there is instant attraction but the road to their happily ever after is filled with death, violence, and heartbreak. There are circumstances that have conspired to keep them apart and they are will to go to extreme lengths. The story is filled with steamy events, but also events that may be triggers for some people. It is an emotionally charged story that will get you to think about how much love is worth.

[Belinda · Rating 3 out of 5]

When I read a book I want to escape. I put myself in as one of the characters and go for the ride. I could not do this with Tatoo & Tears. SPOILERS... Sam, a weak former drug addict with manic depression, attempts suicide from the jump and then the story backtracks from there. Peyton, a train wreck herself, enters into his life. I could not understand how a woman who was cheated on and attempted suicide when her boyfriend rejected her would then cheat on the new boyfriend and cause him so much pain. This series was not to my taste, however many people love it. I received this as an ARC and voluntarily leave a review.

I have never read anything from this author before, and when I found this book series on booksprout, I jumped at the chance. And I'm so glad I did. The stories are incredible, you get pulled into them from the very beginning and they hold your attention until the last page. A real page turner.
