I really enjoyed this book. There is just enough personality details written in for each character; makes you feel like you really know them all. All the sexiness and drama are just what I like in a good nightime-reading book. I simply can't wait to read the next book in this series, I'm impatiently waiting its arrival!

Great book. It's a wonderful "love at first sight" book. The chemistry between these two was smoking. The complexity of the family tattoo and the "unwritten rules" of love and the workplace gave the story a boost. I loved the flow of this story and the little bit of mystery. Very descriptive and loaded with very hot guys and sweet girls who are as tough as they men. Great read and I will definitely read more by this author!!

The cover drew me in. This is my first book by MS Swegan, but I will look for her book sin the future. I liked Lily and Dylan's story and enjoyed the other characters at the Tattoo studio. Quick easy read. Thank you for the advance reader copy!

ARC provided by publisher and Netgalley for an honest review. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I found it quite entertaining. Lilly and Dylan have great chemistry. Enjoyed the secondary characters. Looking forward to another book.

Armed and Inked was the first book I have read from author M.S. Swegan. I have to admit the cover and synopsis are what grabbed me from the start.
But the story had some sweet times and sexy times and the characters themselves were better than I expected them to be. However, that is about the only postitive things I got from the book. It just didn't work with me and I found myself skimming through a lot of it.

From the first page this book intrigues and compels to continue reading. It paints a picture of a brother and sister who have stuck together through tragedy. Having eachothers backs as they both grow up. The book is an amazing read that has you loving the characters as they appear and you learn more about each one.

I highly recommend this book.

This book was a great love story and page turner to read and I will definitely be reading more of this authors work. Now I just need to get the next book. I also thought the cover was really hot. Thanks Netgalley for allowing me another chance to read a book.

I really enjoyed this book. Dylan is a tattoo artist in Shane and Lilly's tattoo place. Lilly is finally home from college to help with the books and running the place. She and Dylan are immediately attracted to each other but take it a little slow. Not very though. Several people are jealous of their relationship though and cause major problem. The book moved swiftly and I loved the ending. I look forward to more of this author's books

I LOVED this book!! Great characters and a very intriguing plot, it held my attention the whole time. Lilly and Dylan have an immediate attraction. Lilly just came back from her vacation and Dylan is the new hire at the Tattoo shop she co owns with her brother. They soon overcome the hesitation of working together, and things get hot! . There's a few twist that tests their new relationship, that made it an even better story.

A brilliant read with a brilliant storyline and characters and I will look forward to reading more from you from this author thank you for my arc

Who wouldn't love a built guy with tats all over? This story had me from page one. I loved the interactions between Lilly and Dylan. They just seemed made for each other. Lilly has her own personal fears she must overcome throughout the story. The twist in this story had me on edge. This is one you will want to pick up! It was a wonderful, sexy story of love!

I was drawn in by the cover of this book - expecting some badassness, but also steamy romance. I don't really know what I got...

This book needs a lot of remodeling of the language for me to be able to recommend it to anyone. While the story was okay, the way it was written stood in its own way. I understand that it's an ARC and I would love to read it again when it's done.
It was steamy at its places, but I couldn't really engage in the characters with the naiveté and extra careful explanations of their thoughts. I don't know.. More showing, less telling?

The main characters did little for me, but I liked some of the supporting ones.

All in all - this is a story that has potential, but as it is now, it needs some more work to pull me in.

Thank you, Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is the first book I have read M S Swegan but was such a great introduction that I will now be looking for more of their work

Dylan is the new piercer at Armed and Ink the tattoo/piercing shop where Lilly's brother works. Lilly is also returning to work there once again. The attraction between Lilly and Dylan is instant and boy do they steam up the pages definitely 18+ for the content but as their connection deepens both at work and personally people will try to come between them . Will there relationship flourish or will other peoples jealousy tear them apart You need to read to see what happens in this wonderful book

I was given a copy of this book but this is true and honest review

Armed and Inked was my first book by M.S. Swegan. I enjoyed her ability to paint a picture of scenes with small but impactful details. While I enjoyed the book, I did think that the plot was slightly unbelievable at times. I would have preferred more development of the couple's falling in love.

This story has great characters and an intriguing plot line. Lilly and Dylan have an immediate attraction, and soon overcome the hesitation of being coworkers. There's a bit of drama that tests their new relationship, and a satisfying if somewhat predictable HEA.

I wish that the author had spent more time with an editor, but as this appears to be a debut book some allowances can be made. I enjoyed the romance and the setting, and would hope that future books could improve on the foundation set by this book. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I received an ARC version of the book from Netgally in exchange for a honest review. All opinions and critiques are my own.

I had trouble reading this book, not because of the writing in general but just because the book started out really slow and predictable. I was honestly disappointed as I love this type of book. Anyway. Jumping right in.

Lily and Dylan are the main couple. Liky just returned from business school to run the business side of her and her brothers tattoo shop. Her brother is a tattoo artist there and he has recently hired a few new people including our resident piercer, Dylan. They're a nice couple, if one dimensional. They never really feel like they have any chemistry beyond the whole forbidden romance (he's an employee and a friend of her brothers). There is some mystery and drama in the book that makes the book interesting but it feels like a way to push the characters together. Honestly, without the drama they probably wouldn't have ended up together.

Overall, I felt the book was ok. It wasn't my favorite book to read but it wasn't my least favorite either. I wouldn't recommend the book but that's just because I was disappointed in the character development.

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."

Loved this book very much. It had just enough comedy & HOT romance and the storyline was great! I highly recommend!

I enjoyed this read it was a fast paced and quick read but it wasn’t lacking in depth or quality because you really feel the tension and desire the characrers have for each other. I also enjoyed the drama because it was unexpected. One thing that was a little confusing was that scenes would change from one paragraph to the next mid page so I would have to go to each paragraph and see if I missed something but this did not take away from the story too much. I can’t wait to read Shane’s story.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book In exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed reading this title.
I found it fast and fun.
The characters are engaging and easy to like and the plot was quick paced with a few twists along the way.

I have to say the cover was a pleasure to look at too .
I'll be keeping an eye out for Shanes story coming out next.

Loved this book. Just enough personality for each character, sexiness, drama and angst for my liking. I can’t wait to read the next one in this series.
