Eye Candy Ink: The Complete Series
Welcome to Eye Candy Ink...
Atlas:
Meet Atlas Warner.
He’s the newest and youngest member at Eye Candy Ink and a talented tattoo artist. Neglected by his parents his whole life, he’s finally found the family that he’s always wanted at the shop. He thinks he’s got everything that he needs...until Darcy walks into the shop.
One look at the shy girl with the kind eyes and the curvy body of a goddess and Atlas is hooked. Now, he just needs to show Darcy that he’s here to stay.
Mischa:
Love, romance, dating. Mischa Jennings wants no part of any of it. He’s seen up close and personal how love can ruin your life and he’s vowed to stay far away from that emotion. Armed with a set of rules to keep him safe, he’s been going through life just fine. Then Indie Hearst comes bouncing into Eye Candy Ink and turns his whole world upside down.
Suddenly, he’s breaking every one of his rules, but it’s okay. He’s not even close to falling for Indie.
Right?
Sam:
Sam Kavan has grown up learning to be tough, at least on the outside. Like everyone else at Eye Candy Ink, she’s not interested in falling in love. In fact, after a string of failed dates, she's grown disillusioned with dating. She doesn't want to go out with boys who send her dick pics or who text at midnight looking to hook up. She wants someone that she can rely on—someone who loves and wants her for her. She wants a real man.
Then she meets Maxwell Schulz, and she wonders if she’s finally met her match.
Zeke:
Zeke Miller is the owner of Eye Candy Ink and the father figure to everyone at the shop. He’s spent years building Eye Candy Ink into what it is today. While others dated and settled down, he worked, honing his skills until he’s one of the best and most sought after tattoo artists in the world. At thirty-six, he thinks his time to meet someone has passed and he’s resigned to being happy with the family that he’s found at his shop.
Then Trixie Clemonte comes into Eye Candy Ink. She has all of his protective instincts kicking in. But none of them are fatherly.
Nico:
Nico Miller is the quiet, silent type. With ten years of experience, he’s probably the best artist at the shop. He's a giant at 6'8" and built like a linebacker with tattoos covering his neck and torso. Most people are a little afraid of him when they first meet him, but it doesn’t take long to see that while he might look scary, with his almost permanent frown, tattoos, and size, he was actually a giant teddy bear.
Most of the time, he can’t wait for people to leave, but one encounter with Edie, and he doesn’t want to let her go. Will he be able to convince her that settling down with him doesn’t mean settling?

Eye Candy Ink is where it’s at
I loved every single story in this series. Overall I may be partial to Mischa and Indie but this group of people is a family that I wish it was possible for me to be a part of. One of my favorite series and I’ve already reread it and will continue to revisit these characters in the future. A must read <3

You should read series as a whole..
They can be read as standalone's, but after reading the first two, ( 1.Atlis & 2.Micah ) the following three were just awesome and completed what the first two set up as I get to continue reading about this self made family comprised from everyone who works at Eye Candy Ink. The first two were a bit more angst with one of the MC in the couple that struggles more with self issues that ends up causing the angst/ drama in the relationship. But they work through them with the help of their "extended" fam usually unknown to exactly how much the side people in their lives actually played huge roles in to helping the couple fix the issues resulting in reconciliation.
Ex of each couple that had help with nudged support from friends:
Atlis and Darcy, without Indie encouraging Micah to help her get Atlis and Darby in the same space so that Darby could see she was letting her insecurities break own heart as well as seeing Atlis was heartbroken when she though she was the one who was suffering alone, only to realize that she was blind to every thing that was very blazingly obvious to any one who looked that stood was totally gone head over ass I love with her.
Book two:
Micah was a heavier case that took the intervention of every member of the shop at some point due to some deep seeded f'ed up stuff he suffered as a kid( though this book wasn't as easy going as there were many time u wanted to kick Micah , it also set a foundation to him becoming one of the most entertaining and lovable characters throughout the following books due to his hard he worked to fix self issues including going to therapy, and becoming that easy going jokester he used to half fake being on the outside, and then with Indie at his side actually healed and became.)
Book 3. Sam was a tough young woman that need a strong man ( older and perhaps more mature in the ways of self awareness ( which is what Zeke the owner /' Dad ' of the shop noticed and pushed his friend Max while judging Sam to give it a chance ). Max was pretty consistent and while it took the longest in the story to gain her trust leaving them to not be intimate as quickly as the other couples, theirs was probably the hottest sex scenes of all the couple's in their individual books..)
Then there's book 3 Zeke. This was Dec where the series got more relaxed, with little angst but because of the supporting characters established it made it still have depth with complex character dynamics that allowed for less drama between actual couple, but still feel book to read and hours enjoyable without it being a fluff light read that a lot of book can't help but turn out to be when their is little drama between main couple.
And finally we get book 4 Nico , that just wraps them all together were u get to really see all of the individual couple become this huge complete and awesome fun family to read out with nico and Edie's final epilogue being 18 years out. ( the prior books mostly being 1 yr then 5 yrs out)
Over all, I probably wouldn't have read this if it came out as a single longer length novel, but am super glad I did read it in its series bundle cause it really is better as a whole and so glad I did..

I absolutely love this whole Series!! Each individual has their own review. I am glad to see each couple has their own book, and each time one of them gets married a little bit is included in each others books.
This Wedding Thang is about Mischa and Indie's wedding and I am so happy to read it. I absolutely loved Mischa and Indie together they made me laugh and cry. Atlas stole my heart especially when Darcy came along. Zeke being the father figure that he is I was glad he found Trixie, his forever. Nico is the quiet type and the last to find his happy ever after but Edie was perfect for him.
I am so looking forward to reading the second generation of this series. ❤️ 💕 💝

The storylines for each character were intriguing and I loved knowing how much they all loved each other. But there were things that made it lack luster. All of the stories were basically insta-love which can get boring. It was also kind of repetitive. There was a lot of flipping the middle finger, over and over. A lot of talk about people having the same facial expression, over and over. There was also too many inconsistencies. At one point it would be 6 months and then a few more pages and it would be a few weeks. There could have been a lot of improvements.

Essendo io un’amante delle storie brevi e instant love, direi che non c’è neanche da chiederlo se ho ADORATO queste 5 storie.
Ognuna speciale e romantica a modo suo. Ogni personaggio caratterizzato benissimo nonostante avessero a disposizione circa 60 pagine🥹
Inoltre è ambientato in uno studio di tatuaggi e sono tutti tatuatori. Poteva essere più perfetto? Non per me.
Sempre stata e sempre sarò un’amante dell’arte del tatuaggio❤️🩹

fantastic characters
Great books. I enjoyed them all and it was such a treat to have such great characters show up in each book. Their interactions were really funny. By the end, they feel like family to me. I didn’t like all of Sam’s tests for poor Max but other than that, I’d recommend this to everyone. Loved it.

Eye candy ink
Wow!! All of the stories in the book are so good.Each couple meets and has obstacles to overcome but there is always a happily ever after!
The stories are short so it's easy to read them all in one setting which is what I did.

Yall are going to fall in love with the artists of Eye Candy Ink. Atlas, Mischa, Sam, Zeke, and Nico are no match for Darcy, Indie, Max, Trixie anf Edie. They truly find such a fantastic family in every story, and sometimes family is more than the one you are born into.

Una gran familia Eye Candy Ink... Conocer la historia de cada uno de los personajes fue emotiva y ninguno se imagino que conocerían al amor de su vida de una manera peculiar, ame a cada chico y su devoción por sus parejas. La pluma de la autora es fácil de entender.

Relecture !!!
Jamais vu autant de fautes d'orthographe ou de frappe ou encore de grammaire !!! Les t-shirts deviennent des chemises, des mots manquent, ou sont de trop... L'histoire de Nico est trop courte... Je suis déçue... Pourtant, ça avait bien commencé...

Absolutely Amazing Series
I loved this series so much. They weren't just friends, they were a family and each of their tales of finding love is beautiful. I highly recommend this series if you love sweet and happy endings with some laughs thrown in as well
