In search of salvation, four convicts opened a tattoo shop. They didn't expect to find true love along the way. This is Phoenix's story. I never expected to meet the love of my life in a bar. Especially someone like Everly. She's absolutely perfect. Maybe too perfect. She's a good girl alright, exactly what I've been waiting for my whole life. I just hope she can overlook my tainted past so we can create a brilliant future. Because now that I've found her, I'm never letting her go. I didn't think men like Phoenix existed in real life. The minute I see him, I'm hooked. Then he tells me he's an ex-convict. I do believe in second chances, But I'm not sure I can be part of his story. Walking away from him is hard, especially when I've fallen so fast. But guys like him and girls like me never work out. At least that's what I keep telling myself. Phoenix is the second standalone short romance read in the Redemption Ink Series. All four books can be read separately, but the stories are interconnected. This insta love romance short story features a tattoo artist alpha male and the curvy woman of his dreams. It’s the perfect short romance read when you’re crunched for time, but want a high heat quickie romance to hold you over. If you love a protective tattooed OTT alpha and a confident curvy heroine, this is the one hour short reads romance for you!

Good

This was a sweet, feel good sexy read. Phoenix and Everly meet at a bar and instantly click. After a night of love making Everly feels like they are too different from one another, that she isn’t wild enough for him and she leaves while he is sleeping. Fast forward six months and Everly tracks Phoenix down to ask for another chance. Phoenix was ecstatic that Everly found him. He wasn’t mad, he just wanted some answers and to be with her again.

Safety and Spoilers
Completely safe. No ow/om drama, minor drama and separation. Doesn’t say but both were probably celibate during six month separation. H has been celibate since he went to prison and h’s past isn’t mentioned. No abuse.

Book 2 in the series and we finally found out how Everly and Phoenix met.  Short novella with little steam. 

Everly is a good girl who doesnt do bad things so when shes at a bar she meets Phoenix and sparks fly. They get hot and heavy right away, enjoying eachothers bodies and company until Phoenix informs her he's a ex-con, making her self doubt that guys like him wouldn't want a good girl like her. So she ghosted him. Phoenix bless that tattoo man feels lost and when he sees Everly he wants a second chance. Tiny disapproved parents at her job, is not going to make her leave her man.

Next couple is Titus and Taryn and her son.. idk the history? Maybe ex or? Idk we shall see

No ow/om drama, no cheating,  Secondary charas,  sexy times, no virgins (celibate)

First things first; I love the cover of this book!
Phoenix is book two in the redemption ink 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 entertaining. Phoenix falls in love with Everly as soon as he meets her in a bar. The problem is, he has been in prison and he doesn’t know how she will react. Everly is instantly attracted to Phoenix. She does believe that people deserve second chances but she doesn’t think she can be a part of the new chapter in his life. Will Phoenix change Everly’s mind?
The chemistry between Phoenix and Everly is clear to see and I liked them as a couple.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

A great love story

Everly met Phoenix one night in a bar while she's out with friends. Turns into a one night stand for her once he tells her his past. Six months later she goes to the tattoo parlor to see him. They end up talking and pick up where they left off. While out to dinner one night she sees one of her students. The girl's mother asks if she could talk to her. She proceeded to tell her who and what he's done which could hurt her job. Read the story to see what she did. It's good. Written by Cindy :)

Phoenix

I thought it was rude of that parent to interrupt Everly and Phoenix's dinner date. I knew she was going to warn Everly about Phoenix. She's lucky her daughter was there because I knew she would have gotten cussed out, Damn busybody. I'm glad Everly decided to go looking for Phoenix at the tattoo shop after ghosting him. They deserved every happiness.

Excellent book!

An ex-.com tattoo artist seems a little cliche, but it's really a good story. Phoenix had a one night stand with Everly, but she ghosted him. Six months later she shows up at his tattoo shop to explain. Sweet story.

Excellent!!!!!

This was another great read! I know that each series are not together and you can read it without reading the first but I think you should read in the order that it goes! Love wondering what is the next story!

Can a good girl love a bad boy? You betcha!

I loved Phoenix and Everly’s chemistry. Off the charts hot, it nearly melted my Kindle! Never underestimate a good girl. Who said opposites don’t attract? Great read with all the feels!

Short and sweet

I love a good unconventional couple and an ex-con tattoo artist and a kindergarten teacher certainly qualify. Sweet and quick.

Differences

Everly and Phoenix are as different as can be but the same where it counts. Love can not be held at bay even when it seems impossible.
