3.5, 3.75?

The saga of the Hot Ink staff continues and ends with it's final single staffer, James the tattoo artist. James finally makes a move on his long time crush, client Arianna, just as a baby is mysteriously left at his door.

Another enjoyable and sexy read from Ranae!

First I have to say that I loved the cover. But after reading this I love it even more. That is exactly how I picture James. James is the last single guy standing at Hot Ink. So when he asks out Arianna it is a good thing. Finding a baby on his doorstep not such a good thing. But they work together to help out the baby and it only fans the attraction between the two. Now if they don’t let their pasts ruin a chance for happiness in the future the last man standing may fall hard and fast.
This like the others in this series can be read stand-alone but you will get so much more out of it if you’ve read the others. This is a well written fast paced sweet and sexy tale that will leave you with a smile on your face and in your heart.

this was a cute book, and i liked the premise of the sister and such.

Another well done story in the Inked in the Steel City series. It was a bit unexpected - reminding me of Dedicated Ink in that way. You expect all these dudes to be super tough - and they turn out to just be made of goo. But I guess that's what makes them so good - that they can surprise you like that.

I particularly liked the dynamic between James and Jed. It was nice to see how well they got along and supported each other. Obviously, I liked Arianna and James' relationship more - but it was still nice to see. These were solid people who just wanted to help each other. A story you could totally relate to, which is always awesome to read.

The plot was also good. It moved fast and I was happy to see how it ended. Heart warming and lovely, as usual for Ranae Rose. This was a great story full of even better characters.

This is probably my favorite book of this series! First is the cover can we say Holy hot tattoo artist, Batman!!!!! Wow definitely my favorite book cover so far!!! As for the story it is also great what starts out as a simple date turns into a whole mess of other things for James and Arianna!!! You can tell right off James has some issues from the past and you know there is something g up with Arianna but exactly what stays a mystery for a bit!!! One thing I love about this series is that it can be read out of order if necessary and that each book can stand on its own, which is great considering I had to skip the 3rd one!!!! Each book has its own unique story with its own unique set of characters that you can fall in love with separately or together as whole when you read the entire series. There are little snippets of the other characters in each book but no big thing that if you miss a book and have to move on that to me makes a huge impact on the next story!!! I can't wait to see what's next from Ranae Rose and the Hot Ink crew!!!!

Ever since the first time she walked into Hot Ink James has not been able to get her out of his head. It has been a year and he has done each of her three tattoos with each visit she visits his dreams even more. This time is different, this time James decides to ask Arianna out for dinner. Their mutual attraction seems to build and they decide to go back to James apartment, to only discover a baby left abandoned on his doorstep; his niece he didn’t know he had.

James, I can’t put into words how much I truly loved James as a character. He is my favorite of all the Hot Ink leading men. Arianna realizes after becoming involved with James that she lives a very lonely life. She is warm and very loving. Ultimately they help each other learn that decisions in their past shaped but did not scar their futures and that they are deserving of love.

The plot of this book is a little different from the other Hot Ink books because it does have some flashback scenes showing some important moments in James and Arianna’s lives. We also get to see a glimpse at Jed and Alice’s relationship. This is a book in a series and can be read as a stand-alone but full enjoyment can be found if you read the others first.

I received this book from the author for my honest review.
