I honestly can't get enough of re-reading this author's work!
Her characters have always intrigued me and the way that she weaves together these stories leave wanting more of them.

Interesting take on romance
I loved the edgier tone of this work. The protagonist was a breast cancer survivor. Powerful imagery about what is beauty.

This is an odd little book, a kind of romance but it is not conventional. This is a tale of boy meets girl with a difference. This story involves only two characters who fall in love. Harley is a tattoo artist who is very sensitive to female emotions. Shae is recovering from breast cancer having had a mastectomy, which Harley covers up with a tattoo.
This book explores the psychological aspects of gaining a tattoo and how people deal with issues concerning their own body image. People have very differing comfort zones that they maintain in public and Shae protects herself by hiding in her hoodie. Her shyness lends great tension to this novel and I hoped that this story would move on and improve but sadly it did not.
Ink & Kink For The Win discussed how people can feel about their own bodies and how this affects their sexuality. Harley is rather bossy in his relationship with Shae and this has a big effect on her but this makes the reader feel claustrophobic. Shae is only just coming to terms with cancer and is unsure about her health and her new boyfriend. Slowly Shae begins to understand who she is and how she relates to pain whilst having a tattoo or sex.
The ending is very poor and is a let down.
