Jameson O’Rourke owns the primo tattoo shop in town, one he’s worked hard to build. And in his industry, he’s the current ‘it’ boy, the reigning King of Ink. His career is on fire, so hot television has even come calling. And as a result, the town bad-boy has now become the town’s favored son.
Ava Hightower needs his face on her flyers, if she is to have any hope of her charity gala and bachelor auction being a success. Unfortunately, they get along like oil and water. He’s a hardheaded, controlling jerk, and she’s already had one run-in with the man. Asking him, of all people, for help is the last thing she wants to do.
Not exactly a match made in heaven.
Jameson doesn’t think too highly of Miss Hightower, either.
To him, she’s just an uptight, stuck-up know-it-all; a little Miss Goody-two-shoes. Not in a million years was she the type that he’d have anything to do with. Unfortunately she is also on the city council, and therefore has the ability to screw with his business.
He needed her help once before, and she shot him down.
Now the tables are turned, and she needs his help. Well, my, my, sweetheart, karma can be a cold-hearted bitch.
But, hey, maybe he could work this to his advantage.
You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours, and all that crap.
So they cut a deal. One he has no intention of ever having to fulfill, because he plans to make it impossible for her to keep her end of it.
She thought she could outlast him. Guess again, sweet thing. She may be a stubborn woman, but she’s met her match. And he has no intention of letting her win this game.
Be warned, sweetheart, because the King of Ink has plans to push your limits in ways you’ve never imagined.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Jameson O’Rourke owns a tattoo shop. One he’s worked very hard to build . He’s the hottest person in the tattoo world. The reigning Kind Of Ink. His career is on fire. He’s gone from town bad boy to the town’s favored son.
Ava Hightower needs Jameson‘s face on her fliers and his body at her charity gala bachelor auction. The only problem with that is they get along like oil and water. Ava has already had one run in with the King of Ink. The last thing she wants to do is ask this self serving, controlling hardheaded jerk.
Jameson‘s opinion of her isn’t much higher as she’s an uptight, stuck up,know it all. He needed her hell one time beige and she got his idea shot down. Now the tables have turned and she needs him. A deal is struck. One he has no intention of keeping. If Ava thought so poorly of him before she’s not seen anything yet.
I loved this book. Oh my goodness I don’t think I’ve ever read about two characters who couldn’t stand each other as much as Jameson and Ava. The thing is they are so attracted to each other it is not even funny. Neither one though is willing to admit it. Thus begins the journey of fighting to resist each other and it is so much fun. There is just simply no way you can read this book and not fall in love with both characters.
Nicole James has done an amazing job with this first book in her Brothers Ink Series. I can not wait to see which brother she writes about next.

**Carla’s Five Star Review
After losing his parents, Jameson stepped up to take care of his younger brothers. His goal was to do whatever he had to do to keep his brothers out of the foster care system, and he did it. Now he is a well known tattoo artist and owner of the wildly popular Brothers Ink Tattoo Shops.
Jameson is a bossy insufferable man! While his bark is a lot worse than his bite, he still needs a woman who will stand toe to toe with him. This is where Ava comes in. Ava is feisty and full of sass. As the story progresses, Jameson and Ava butt heads a lot. They are each attracted to one another, but boy do they ever fight it. It takes some time, but they eventually give into the attraction they share.
I fell head over heels for Jameson and Ava. They had a lot in common, and I thought they were perfect for each other. I also loved all of the other O’Rourke brothers, and I look forward to reading more about them in the future!
