Innocent Ink (Inked in the Steel City #2) by Ranae Rose

Karen has a gift.  Her photography is art.  The photograph she took of her friend Mina’s tattoo got her noticed and Karen is now a full time photographer.  She is still doing tattoo shots for the clientele of the Hot Ink tattoo studio where Mina and her fiancé work.  Ever since she met Jed, the owner of Hot Ink, she has had a mad crush.  Jed and Karen share a birthday and their friends throw them a joint party.  When Jed drives her home the kiss they share has Karen thinking they could share more than a birthday.

You know you are invested in the characters when you want to reach out and smack them on the back of the head as I was want to do to Jed on several occasions.  I really liked Karen when we met her in Hot Ink and was thrilled that she was going to get a story.  Oh what a story.  Jed is hot but he has issues.  Karen is the best thing that could have happened to him.  She drags him kicking and screaming back to life and love.  This book could probably be read stand-alone but you will enjoy it so much more if you read Hot Ink first. 

I’d like to thank the author for giving me an ARC to read and review as I really enjoyed this book.
