More Than Meets the Ink (The Bowen Boys Book 1) - Elle Aycart
Being back at work, I find making time to read really difficult. To get me out of reading rut, I decided to pick up some good old-fashioned smut! There's nothing original about this book, but the comfort of the familiar storyline meant I finished this in 1 sitting. Tate is a 26-year-old (this isn't mentioned until half way through the book, I thought she was 19...) restaurant owner who is visiting her mum in resort when she bumps into the gorgeously inked James Bowen. The 2 hit it off straight away, obviously, and begin a fling-but-its-not-its-a-relationship when they return back to Boston together.
I think there was supposed to be some sort of stalker storyline but it seemed to be rushed into the last 30 pages with the hopes of being called a storyline. There weren't many suspects to choose from, so the culprit was pretty easy to pick out - took the element of surprise right out of it. Aycart wanted to use the big 'showdown' as a means for James and Tate's reconciliation which makes it quite anticlimactic in the end.
James is obviously a dream come true. Tattooed. Muscular. Protective.
Tate. It was a little bit hard to believe that she was 26 given her intense level of immaturity. Her disgust and prejudice about his tattoos based on zero experience was ridiculous and made her a little bit unlikeable. She comes round in the end, obviously, but this book fails to break the mould of annoying female leads.
Overall, a quick read that made me smile. I can't ask for more than that! 7/10
Thanks for reading!
