She’s etching her mark on my skin and the pain has never felt better…

Dahlia got caught up in my dangerous past a long time ago, but she rebuilt her life. Now, I’m back because she’s the only person I can trust. And I couldn’t stay away for another day.

Being near me means danger for the both of us because no one leaves the mob unscathed. She’s inking over my past one day at a time and it's strictly business for her, but the flames licking at our heels aren’t just from the heat between us.

But the only thing harder than leaving the mob is leaving her. I’ll show her that what we have is forever as long as I’m still breathing…

MyReadulteryLife Review

I am a lover off Mob themed stories, so when I first read the blurb for Under His Ink, I was expecting lots of mob action and some dirty loving. However, this book mainly focuses on the relationship element of the main characters. It was refreshing!

I loved Ivan’s character, his tortured soul and his desire to be free from his Uncle’s reign was enlightening. From the get go you are drawn into Ivan’s character, especially when it comes to him wanting to protect the people he loves, his family and Dahlia.

Dahlia has rebuilt her life, having lost the man she loves and her father. She has managed to make a good life, she owns her own tattoo business and gives back to the community by tattooing ex-convicts gang signs.

I adored the second chance at romance between Ivan and Dahlia. You can relate to Ivan’s need to protect Dahlia from his world and you feel Dahlia’s struggle in forgiving Ivan for breaking her heart.

The chemistry between Dahlia and Ivan, was a slow burn. Once ignited neither off them where prepared to give each other up. No matter what happens!

I enjoyed the flow off the story. I didn’t find myself skipping past chunks off the story. It was well thought out. The secondary characters, Alexei, Rachel and Elena help to build onto the story. They are a great addition.

Well worth a read! Hopefully there is more to come from the secondary characters, I’m hoping that Alexei, Ivan’s brother, gets his own story. Fingers crossed.

**** 4 Stars
