He is going to pop her tattoo cherry and then tie her to him forever
Well book me in for a tattoo as long as the artist is one handsome and sexy Linc. All I can say is Cass is one lucky young lady to land herself such a Alpha man who is also an artist. Mona Zaftig has once again made the perfect match between Linc and Cass.
Cass wants to get a tattoo to memorialize her grandmother who passed a couple of years ago. She has already thought about the design and where she wants it so when she gets a gift certificate to Inkredible Tattoo's and she does some research on the studio and artist's she is booking her appointment. What she does not know is that she has been matched by Mona Zaftig to meet Linc. Linc had been referred to the Zaftig Dating Agency by one of his employee's and fellow artists Lydia. So when Lydia gets the call from Cass for an appointment she initially talks with her, just to make sure she is cool enough for Linc, and then books it. Linc is not too happy as he is getting a virgin. Not a real virgin but a tattoo virgin. However, when Cass walks through the door he is out of his seat and at the counter meeting her before the front door even closes.
Cass and Linc are sweet together. They are each really attracted to each other but each hold back. But once something slips from Linc's mouth when Cass comes back for her follow-up a month later it is going to be game, set and match for these two.
Inked is a wonderful addition to the Zaftig Dating Agency series by Jane Fox. It is a sweet, sinful, engaging, funny, romantic and sexy hot short story with wonderfully entertaining characters. Plus don't even get me started on how funny Lydia is..........I was laughing out loud so hard at what came out of her mouth at the craziest moments. This is another book I would recommend without reservation to all readers.

Linc Dorset is a tattoo artist he’s 38 and being set up by his fellow tattoo artist Lydia she says that the girl needs to be able to handle rough tattooists. Cass O’Donnell wants to get a memorial tattoo for her grandmother who died a couple of years ago so a gift certificate has been sent to Cass and Lydia has put her on Linc’s list. While Linc is setting up his instruments up a woman walks through the door his eyes nearly fall out of his head and he rushes to the desk to serve her she’s gorgeous all curves but that is her first tattoo so Linc hopes that she will be fine. Cass looked over Linc’s work he has beautiful drawings so she picked him to do the tattoo but when she see’s him up close and personal he is gorgeous and Cass knows that she made the right choice. That’s all I’m going to give you guys so if you want to know what happened between Linc and Cass well you’re going to have to find out yourself, I loved this story it’s a fantastic read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

Inked is book nine in the zaftig dating agency series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Linc is a tattoo artist that hasn’t yet found the woman for him. When Cass walks into his shop, he feels an instant connection towards her. All Cass wants is a tattoo in honour of her late grandmother. When she meets Linc, she is instantly attracted. Will Cass and Linc get their happily ever after?
The chemistry between Linc and Cass is clear to see and I liked them as a couple.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

This is the story of Linc who is a tattoo artist looking for that special person to settle down with. Cass is finally ready to get her tattoo in memory of her grandmother. With the help of one of Linc's work friends these two are put together and it is love at first sight for these two. The story is a fast paced sizzling read. The characters fit well together and have amazing chemistry. I look forward to see what will happen in the next book. I love these book and I highly recommend them.

I really enjoyed this book. This is the story of Linc a tattoo artist and Cass who is a nurse looking to get a memorial tattoo for her grandma. After another successful setup by the agency these two end up together. Some things I liked about this book is them when they finally got together. The epilogue. Knowing that Mona was there. Some things that weren’t my favorite were his ex showing up. It also wasn’t as instalove as some of the others in this series. You should definitely read this book. Jane is a fantastic writer.

I really enjoyed this short story. The characters were great. I love that they get set up by a matchmaker and don't even know it.
Linc is a tattoo artist that hasn't had a lot of luck in the love department. He figures that he's seen pretty much everything. Until Cass walked through the door of the tattoo shop.
Cass wanted a tattoo in remembrance of her grandmother for a long time. She has been working up the nerve to get one. Cass researched to make sure she found the most skilled tattoo artist. She had no idea he’d be so hot.
Cass and Linc are great together. Loved their happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.

Cass was a virgin. To tattoos that is She researched where and what her would look like. She was referred to an artist that would do her proud. Now if he wasn’t so stinking hot maybe things would be ok. Linc was not a fan of virgins. he hated the crying and the hesitating persona of the client. Until Cass. Geez the month wait for her tat check up made the scene in the shop hostile but worth the read. Short and nice.

Mona is on a roll with her match-ups! Linc is a tattoo artist whose co-workers think he needs a good woman. Cass is a sweet younger nurse, looking to get a tattoo in memory of her grandmother. This is a really sweet book. These two are just so cute together. It's good to see him find his happy with Cass since his long-time girlfriend turned out to be such a witch. And Lydia (his co-worker) is a total hoot!

Cute but too simple
New installment in the Zaftig agency series. The story is very short, well written, cute, but a bit too simple.
Linc meets Cass when she comes to get a tattoo in tribute to her grandmother. When she returns 1 month later, and Linc has an argument with her ex, Cass hears a sentence that makes her think that the attractive tattoo artist is not as unreachable as she thought.

Cass wants to commemorate her late Grandma and after lots of investigation picks Inkredible Tattoo's. Linc is a tattoo artist whose not excited about a tattoo virgin but when Cass walks through the door his feelings are so different.
It's an instant attraction but not so much so as it's a month after they first met that they go out.

Another short but oh so sweet Zaftig Dating match with tattoo artist Linc and nurse Cass. They meet when she goes to him for a tattoo to remember her grandmother. They have a instant attraction and things proceed from there except for his ex girlfriend who stops by hoping for a rematch but Linc is having nothing to do with that.

I love the Zaftig series and we finally get a glimpse of Mona, the conductor behind all these spectacular matches! Linc is a gorgeous, alpha tattoo artist and Cass is a curvy, sassy girl in want of a tattoo. The attraction was instant, but it took a while before they actually connected and once they do connect, there is no going back! Love this story!

It was very enjoyable and entertaining story.
He is hot tattoo artist and he will do her first . She is not really scared, having this handsome man definitely helps.
She is not bad on eyes,either, so next visit he invites her for a drink and a rest is just history..
It’s short story, just if you need quick pick me up.

The Zaftig Dating Agency Series by Jane Fox just keeps getting better and better. In book 9, we meet Linc and Cass. Linc is a tattoo artist not happy when he learns his next appointment is a tattoo "virgin". That is until he sees Cass in the waiting room. He is smitten at first sight. Lately he has been looking to settle down and he is convinced Cass is the one for him. This was a quick read that will definitely leave a smile on your face. Ready for book 10!

I really enjoyed my first book by Jane, yup that's right I jumped to book 9 in the series as my first. I'm a bit of a rebel that way. 😉
I'm a huge fan of tattoo shop/tattoo artist romances so that's why I grabbed this one first. Linc is that ideal bad boy hottie tattoo artist and Cass the tattoo newbie who is a total knockout.
Instant sparks and chemistry, a fun romp in the shop and a mad dash to an HEA. My idea of a perfect quick read.

Linc is a tattoo artist looking to settle down. Cass is a nurse looking for her first tattoo. They never expected to find love but the sparks could not be denied. These two were perfect for each other and this book was another great installment of the series.

I love tattoo artists!
This is a super sexist and sweet book. Cass wants a tattoo to honor her grandmother so she goes to Linc's shop. A month later she has to do a follow-up and that is when the sparks really fly. Super sweet! I love this series. Each book is a stand alone, but I just like reading them in order.

Lincoln is a tattoo artist. Cass wants a memorial tattoo for her grandmother. Mona sets up the two of them with the help of the friends. She also gets to attend the festivities in this book. The author threw in a curve ball as well. Great, fast paced read with wonderful characters.

As always, I throughly enjoyed Linc and Cass’ story. I enjoyed the drama of seeing one of Linc’s exes come into the picture for a bit and am so glad he went with Cass! Mona Zaftig match-making streak continues and I am enjoying every moment :)

It looks like I have a few favorites in this series however Linc stoke my heart! He was attentive and romantic even before he kissed Cas for the first time and I loved his cockiness during sex and Cas’s “old man my ass” made me laugh out loud because that would have been my response.

The book Inked has tattoo artist Linc Dorset meeting his perfect match Cass. Cass is looking to get a tattoo in memory of her grandmother. Linc is one of the best in the field and does the tattoo. He is attracted to Cass but unlike the other books in the Zaftig Dating series Linc and Cass take a bit longer to connect. Throw in a crazy ex and you get quite the drama!

Kass wanted a tattoo to remind her of her grandma. She had a picture of what she wanted showed Linc he drew it out it on her arm and had her come back in a month and Linc ex showed up running her mouth and he went off and told her to get out and never come back. Kass asked what he meant about what he said and it all fell into place from there they got married
