This book was provided to me by the publisher for an honest review I am a huge fan of tattoo d heroes and tattoo artists there is something edgy and dangerous about them that appeals to that bad boy attraction I have Imagine my surprise when reading this book and finding out the hero who owns a tattoo parlour is actually a pretty laid back normal guy Don t get me wrong I liked him but can t say I d rave about him, he is sweet and nice, no edge about him at all This all being said means I m in a [...]

Review from mischievousreads ARC courtesy of Entangled Publishing in exchange for honest reviewI thought that this was going to be one of those stories with violence and dark secrets and whatnot, but instead we got a sweet love story between a tattooed guy and a slightly obsessive compulsive girl This book is definitely one of those that made me scream in anguish when I finished because this was just so cute and so awesome that I didn t want it to be over I love everything about this book This i [...]

I love this Something to Celebrate series The first book, Ivy Entwined, introduced us to a small town in central New York, Celebration This latest book, Permanent Ink, has many of the characters from the first book that I loved, as well as some new faces to Celebration I can t deny that as a inked and steeled mama, I love Ben Lambert, the tattooed hunk of manliness at the front and center of this book This one centers around Blair and Ben Blair has come to Celebration from NYC to stay with her A [...]

Set in the fictional town of Celebration, New York, the story centers around the town s many planned holiday celebrations and an out of work party planner The premise of party planning versus tattoos is unusual and not a plot that I d ever seen before and I ve been reading romance novels for decades The opposites attract premise with a twist premise works well here.The story is full of humor and fun from accidents to overbearing elders to verbal diarrhea There s something for everyone The sex sc [...]

What a sweet story about finding yourself and falling in love with your opposite I loved Ben in this story throughout the whole book He was just an all around perfect guy, a little edgy, hot, down to earth, sweet and giving There was not a moment that I did not like his character And I loved his unique nickname for Blair Blair was a fun character I did enjoy her as well but there were times when I felt like bopping her and yelling at her Woman She was a hot mess with good intentions The supporti [...]

This was a 2.5 star read for me Maybe this is a case of it s me not you but it took me over a month to read this book I read over twenty books a month and this story did not capture my attention for than 10 20 pages at a time The main character, Blair, just wasn t very likable The book was almost 400 pages which is probably 200 pages longer than it should be The plot centers around a parade The female characters in the small town are so hard to tell from one another The love interest, Ben, seem [...]

Blair takes Stress Queen to a whole new level times I was stressed reading about her LOL Ben isn t your typical tattooed hero He s nice and gets what real love is So many romance books now have a hero or heroine stop talking break up with the other over something or another Ben gets angry but he never stops loving Blaireven when she keeps important things from him and lies Now the lies aren t HUGE but they do make a difference in Ben s life It was a refreshing read Well written and sweet.

This book did not flow It felt like the first half was filled with Blaire and Ben saying they should have a conversation they never had Tge second half was filled with actions you never read about, but were referred to by other characters I might not have finished the book if it weren t for Ben he was a great character The town of Celebration and its residents were quirky and lovable I think the book had a lot of potential, and hope the author keeps writing and maybe twerks her style a bit.

Copy was given for an honest review This one one of them books that i had a love hate relationship with , There were parts i loved and wanted , but in the same breath There were also parts that annoyed me and made me want to put the book back down In saying that the author did a great job with the character and the story line And i will pick up the next book It carries a lot of steamy scenes , and a lot of laughing during the book And I do recommend this series and this author to others

This book really surprised me It definitely falls into the don t judge a book by it s cover or title category This is a wonderful small town romance that hooked me from the very beginning Great kooky small town characters add a lot of humor and the budding romance between Blair and Ben is wonderful to watch This is the first book by this author and she definitely has a new fan, I m already diving into the first book in this series I definitely recommend this one.

I am writing this review as I received a copy in exchange for an honest review This book didn t appeal to me I just couldn t get into it It is about Blair and Ben It is your typical boy meets girl, girl doesn t like guy, then decides she likes him Something then happens that boy doesn t like her, and then they make up and have their happily ever after It was not a bad book, but the subject matter was not interesting to me.

This one was pretty slow for me It was super sweet, but it felt like not a whole lot happened I was glad that Ben and Blair were able to work things out, but the story wasn t interesting enough for me to want to go back and read 1 or continue with the series Again, it was a sweet story, just one I ll probably forget.

This story is about 2 people who know they want to be together, but lack the skills of communicating to each other It s such a roller coaster of wanting to shake them to talk to each other You ll just have to keep reading to find out if they get their Happily Ever After

Good story, good characters and good writing The best part of the story for me was Ben, and the town of Celebration Would read in the series.
