has given us the kind of story I like reading. We get a good love story that has a few problems for the main characters, and then there is a little suspense/mystery thrown in that makes you question what’s going to happen. You get to learn, like, and feel for all the characters in the story. And then you get that HEA that you want. I can’t wait to see who, and what, Book 2 is about.

This was a quick and sweet read full of interesting characters. I loved the setting and the plot line intrigued me though I soon figured out the twist. Lily and Dylan's instant attraction was one that refused to be denied. I enjoyed watching their story unfold though I found myself having to go back and figure out which character was speaking. Overall Armed and Inked was an enjoyable read that left me a bit curious for the rest of the crew's stories.

Not totally my cup of tea but interesting enough. It is a bit of a slow going but I think it was worth it to stuck with it overall. It's a largely okay plot with interesting characters.

I received a copy of this ebook for an honest review. At the time I received it there were some grammatical errors, but they didn’t distract me from the overall story. But, I will say that Miss. Swegan has given us the kind of story I like reading. We get a good love story that has a few problems for the main characters, and then there is a little suspense/mystery thrown in that makes you question what’s going to happen. You get to learn, like, and feel for all the characters in the story. And then you get that HEA that you want. I can’t wait to see who, and what, Book 2 is about.

Lily returned home and was ready to take her place by her brother’s side running Armed and Inked. Things have changed at their tattoo parlor. Since their success continues to grow so does their staff. Meeting Dylan was something she never expected since she had zero luck with men. Her past relationship still haunts her as she tries to have another. When a threat appears, he will do anything to protect her bringing them closer together reminding her there are good guys out there.

Really enjoyed this one. I loved the plot and thought the characters were really well written. This one had some really great sexy scenes in it. And the cover is gorgeous. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice story. I liked the storyline and the characters were well thought out. I really enjoyed reading it.

Welcome to this book review!
I received a copy for free in exchange of an honest review !

I really enjoyed this book, I wasn’t expecting to like it so much. It did however take me a chapter or two to really be able to get into the story. I would’ve enjoyed more content by the end of it I was left wanting to know every detail of their romance. The writing style was set at a nice pace and easy to read which made the romantic scenes and emotional scenes even more aweasome. Overall great read totally recommend !

I always love books with tattoo artists. I find tattoos an amazing way of expressing ourselves, and personally I want to get some tattoos in the near future, I just got my first one this week. So the first time I saw the cover and read the blurb I was immediately curious.

This romance novel about Lilly and Dylan, and I much say that as newly graduated young woman, I could relate to Lilly, although she already know what she will be doing and I’m still thinking about my options. Nevertheless, she was a fun character to read about. Then there is Dylan, and he was sweet, kind, hot, and determined kind of person, and it was refreshing to read about a piercer instead of just tattoo artists. Plus he was an ex-military man, which of course just adds some extra power to his personality.

That been said, I think the characters were well written, and I would love to read more books about other characters. I would love to read Jen and Maddox’s love story, there were so sweet and Jen was a firecracker, I would love to have a friend like her that knows how to tattoo. And then there is Shane. Can I read about about him too? He needs love. And there is something about him that is mysterious and I’m curious about it.

Besides the characters I loved the plot. Although the romance was sweet, but since this is a contemporary romance that is also in the erotic genre, it had some hot sexy scenes. They had chemistry and they really were very cute together, and you could see that from the initial attraction, their relationship started to develop and you could see they really cared about each other and that it wasn’t just attraction.

Overall I loved it. The plot was great, I loved the suspense because I wasn’t sure who was behind it all. And I recommend it, just keep in mind that it’s a erotic romance.

A Contemporary Romance novel with tattoos, great friends, sexy scenes and suspense that made me stay at the edge of my seat and want to read more, no matter if it was the mystery or the erotic scenes.

This is the first book of Ms. Swegan's that I have read. Dylan the  new Piercer at Armed and Ink, and Lilly just graduated college and moves back to work at Armed and Ink again alongside her brother. When Dylan and Lilly meet each other, they have an instant connection and attraction right off the bat. What sucks is so many people have been watching them get to know each other and want to rip them up because they are jealous of what they have.  Will Lilly and Dylan's relationship take off or will it fall completely apart?
Armed and Inked's characters are well written, leaving me to fall in love with certain people in the book while not liking some other charters at all. The plot of this book is solid and kept me guessing what will happen next. I highly recommend this book to those 18+ because of the sexual content . I can't wait to read what will happen next and to what characters!I  had some issues with the spelling, I mean any good editor would have caught the mistakes. Other than a few other hiccups this was a fast paced and fun read.

Started a bit slow for me, but after a few chapters I really got into the story. I liked the overall character development, and although I enjoyed the buildup to the first sexy time scene, I felt like that was rushed and glossed over.

Dylan is the new piercer for the tattoo/piercing shop that Lily's brother owns. Lily has returned home from college, ready to pick up where she was before she left. Dylan and Lily have instant chemistry. This was an interesting story, just needed a bit of editing.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and am leaving a review.

This book was slow for me. The characters were written well but I had a hard time finishing it. I hate that too because I wanted to love it yet I just couldn't. Although this was a new author for me I will certainly be looking for her other works.

For all the anticipation leading up to the first sex scene you would really think it would be something else. Sadly it was rushed through and didn't provide any detail. Don't get me wrong there were plenty of hot and heavy agsty scenes that made you want to keep reading, but when it came down to it everything seemed a little rushed. Now I don't want a long drawn out romance book either, but you can definitely take your time detailing the exhibitions in the romance book just to tickle the readers fancy. I just felt hot and bothered the whole time and not in the good way occasionally skimming over places just to see if it got any better. Decent romance read, but also have had better.

I really enjoyed this story. It's not only well written but engaging. It keeps you guessing and wanted more. It gets your emotions riled up and captivates you to the end. The characters are colorful and fulfilling. I couldnt get enough

I found it to be a solid and enjoyable read. The reader is able to contact wholeheartedly with the characters. Thanks for that

I love Dylan and Lilly's story. It's very catching and draws you into the book. This book was amazing and definitely a page Turner. I read it straight through without ever putting my book down.

A really great book that had everything you could want. There was romance, sexual attraction, tattoos and drama. It was well written with excellent character development. It was a wonderful experience to read.

At first glance what drew me in was the cover, then the title. This book was great. LOVED it. It combined all things I love in a romance book.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book In exchange for an honest review.
This was a fun and fast paced book. I really enjoyed it. This is my first book from this author and it def will not be my last.
Dylan is a new piercer that is buddy’s Tattoo and Piercing shop.
Lilly is Co-Owner of A&I (Armed and Inked)..She has just graduated college and moves back home to start working again at Armed and Ink alongside her brother.
Lilly and Dylan have an immediate attraction, Lilly is hesitant due to a past relationship that ended very badly – but soon enough she goes in with her heart and just WOW! This book does have a couple twist and I think that made it that much better..

I cant wait for Shanes book!!
