Elementary schoolteacher, Nayla Vitale, decides to check out a local tattoo shop. Rumor has it, her favorite metal band are only tattooed at Wicked Ink. Once she meets the owner, Mateo, she becomes more interested in him, putting the band second. When she and Mateo begin dating, something comes up that could stand to ruin their budding relationship. Jaded tattoo artist, Mateo Alvarez, was burned by a woman he loved deeply. He's unable to put the poison of her memory in the past...until he meets Nayla. She didn't seem the type to be in to tattoos. He realizes he's mistaken when he introduces her to friends of his from a popular heavy metal band. Despite the reason they were brought together, something toxic from his past could very well end things for them.
Tanya Sands is the pseudonym of a stay-at-home mom who, having written but not published short stories for years, finally took the leap and published her passion. When she’s not writing she’s raising her 2 young boys and 4 furbabies while her husband supports them all by driving all over the country as a long haul truck driver. She is the youngest of 6 and a proud vet of the US Air Force.
Really loved Mateo and Nayla's story. The storyline is fast paced, the sex scenes are hot, and love the supporting characters. Really liked how we got the intertwining of two author's different series wrapped into one. They play and read perfectly with each other. Really enjoyed getting scenes with the characters from Iron Fist by Zana King mixed into the storyline. The two are so well intertwined its an amazing thing. Nayla walked into a tattoo shop hoping to get a glimpse of her favorite rock band, but instead meets the owner Mateo and can we say lust at first sight for both. What could a prom proper school teacher have in common with a tattoo artist ummm a hot one at that!!! For Mateo he is coming out of a terrible relationship, but one look at the proper curvy woman and he's a goner or lust. This book had some funny moments, hot sex scenes, and memorable characters. Can't wait for book 2 in this series. Thanks Jamie Nibarger Ellis
Tanya sands is a new to me author, but I’m already a huge fan, her story line is excellent and flows through the whole book. As an intro book, I love that I am able to meet and get to know the people that will be written about in the next book. I highly recommend this series.
Being a big girl myself I adore stories with BBW heroines. Tanya has a way of making me feel like the main character and I get to go for a ride of a lifetime.
In this story I get to be an elementary school teacher who is obsessed with the heavy metal Iron Fist. I might get to do a little bit of stalking. Find myself an attractive tattoo artist with an ex from hell.
