Kinked is a collection of 8 short romance and kinky stories with tattoos at the heart of them.
I found these to be quite creative stories and not your usual hot and steamy romances. If you are going to write short sexy stories, the plots need to be strong and interesting and these do not disappoint.
In Begin Again by Tiffany Michelle Brown we meet Melissa on a night out with the girls. She decides, after a little help from her friends that its time for her to get a tattoo so the girls take her for it. There they meet Callum and Melissa is instantly affected by him. He is convinced he knows her and he may well be right. A taster of how different these stories are.
Inkarnate by Mara Malins tells us the story of Emily. Emily is applying for an apprenticeship in a tattoo parlour. Not her preferred choice of workplace and definitely not her environment as she looks more like a school teacher than a tattooist. But her artwork appeals to the owner. She meets Matt, who seems to hate her. But is there more to this? And to her? The power of Emily and Matt’s connection comes through on this story making it very plausible and believable, something I found lacking in other stories of its kind.
The Courier by Danielle Davies introduces us to Pier and a strange new world where things are done very differently. Pier has a message to deliver. The message can only be delivered by him as it is not written on paper. This message is also not as simple a delivery as he might of liked. A very creative tale.
Through The Glass A Stranger by Renee Dominick is the 4th in this collection of stories. She has been watching Him from her apartment window which is right across from His. She has become used to his ways and routines. But now He knows She is watching Him. And his ways and routines are changing. This is quite gripping.
For The Occasion by Brantwijn Serrah brings is in on a special moment between a Female sub and Female dom. The sub is getting a beautiful tattoo designed by her dom whom she adore and lives to please. But her dom will be pleasing her as it is a special occasion. The tenderness in this stories is beautiful and well written.
Sae-ri by Nicole Blackwood is other worldy, sexy story of something more than sex and lovers. It has potential for much more as it is very creative and hauntingly beautiful. Zoe is very attracted to brothers Logan and Lukas. But there is so much more to this attraction. It runs deeper than Zoe could of ever realised.
Ink And Ocean by Meredith Dark introduces us to Kayla who has separated from her husband. But she should have never been with him in the first place. It was always Mark and she should never have left him. Now she is back with him for, what seems like, one more night submissive passion. Or is there more to it?
Painted Red by Sara Dobie Bauer is a fun, sexy story about Angie who firmly sets her sights on having Ben, just for a night of passion. Angies does not do reruns. But Ben is not her usual type and, alongside imagining what she could do with him, she lets herself imagine more. That scares her as she does not let guys in. But Ben, as I said before, Ben is not her usual guy.
There is a bit of everything in this group of stories and each of them will be preference for many readers. I enjoyed the theme and creativity in these and that some of them were a bit out there. All of the stories are thrilling, not just the sexy parts either

I enjoyed this anthology, there were some of the stories that weren't to my taste but your always going to get that in a collection like this. Equally there are some that I wish were full books in there own right!
There's a few of the authors that after reading this I want to look up for more of their work, id happily read more anthologies like this.
The only reason I've given it 4 not 5 stars is because, as I said, a few stories were not to my taste.

Kinked Anthology is a book of eight short romantic/erotic storys that all center on the field of tattoo artistry and the ones that love to get tattoos.
***Begin Again written by Tiffany Michelle Brown*** Five stars.
Melissa has visited this tattoo parlour several times over the last two months to get tattoos and also because she has the tremendous pull to the shop owner Callum Reid. Every time she gets comfortable on the tattoo bench and Callum starts working on her, she has flash backs and they are so real and almost life-like. Could this be their connection? Could they have known each other in a previous life?
Very good story line and so tender and romantic. Their artistry is what draws them to each other and also the feeling that they have known each other for a while.
***Inkarnate written by Mara Malins****
Five Stars
Emily Mistry is at the tattoo shop to apply for a position as an artist apprentice. She specializes in portraits and desperately needs work to pay the bills. The formal interview process includes a total of seven people including herself. To get the job they have to prove that they can design original drawings that accurately embody what each person they have a photo and description of might want in a tattoo.
Emily goes out with the other artisits one night after work and the club they go to is there mostly for those that want to "hook-up". Emily is inexperienced and "vanilla" and she is just following along until she is goaded into getting up and dancing by her co-worker Matt.
Matt Jones is and enigma all in his own. This story is full of hot kink. Whips and bondage. Which really leaves you wishing it was a longer book and you could see if they were able to build a relationship and to what extents they end up going to enjoy each other.
**The Courier written by Danielle Davis**
FIVE STARS
This is by far one of the weirdest books I have ever read. Not in a bad way more in an intriguing way. I would love to know more about the characters and the back story as well as the outcome of the situation.
This is about a Courier who was sold to the Post Master to do their bidding. He has had a letter tattooed onto his entire body and is sent to the woman it is intended for and he is very turned on by her reading of the letter.
Very different.

From the dark of her own condo she watches as he gets home from work and takes his clothes off, walking from room to room in his own apartment. She is mesmerized by his own tattoos and is wondering what they mean and why he has them.
Anthony knows she watches and he is changing things up. He wants her to know he sees her.
Very well written and it gets to the point. You learn why she is a vouyer and what has happened to them both.

This is a F/F D/s short story. Selene is watching on as her sub is naked and tied up waiting to be tattooed for their wedding. The sub is turned on by pain and the Domme is not a fan of experiencing pain but will give pain. The tattoo is a design created by Selene and her sub is honoring her by getting it for their special day.
Pretty good read. A lot of erotica in this one.
** Sae-ri written by Nicole Blackwood**
FIVE STARS
If there was ONE of the storys of this book that I could have an extended full version of this would be the one. I was pulled in and captivated by the sensuality of this entire story.
Zoe is a mapper who has crash landed on this planet that seems so less refined and less modern than where she comes from. When she crash landed she was able to directed her ship to aid a couple of guys who were fighting for their lives at the time. She ended up saving them and from that point on they swore their protection to her always.
Zoe ends up in an Oryndgreph, where Orynd-lao is practiced. The Orynd-lao is a centuries-old art, meaning "the surrendering." The patron, the rae-ki, surrenders their trust to the Master, the lao-ki. The Master in return surrenders their ... expertise.
Logan and Lukas are twin brothers and have sworn to protect Zoe forever since she saved them. The attration and desire between the three of them is undeniable. This book is full of magic and sex. Very erotic and this is the one story out of this entire book that I would enjoy more of. Very sensual. This book is a M/M/F with twins it is almost a D/D/s relationship however I think Zoe is in as much control of this relationship as the twins are.
** Ink and Ocean written by Meredith Dark**
FIVE STARS
Kayla and Michael met in college and durring their relationship Kayle introduced Michael to the D/s lifestyle and then she left him to be with someone else when she thought that Michael didn't want to marry. Now Kayla is seperated from her husband and was travelling on business when she ended up in the same place as MIchael and missed her plane. She calls Michael to come pick her up and this is the story of what takes place afterward. They discuss each others tattoos and explore their unending love for each other. Really good, sweet, sensual, story. Lots of D/s play.
** Painted Red written by Sara Dobie Bauer**
Angie Clare works in an adult sex shop. She is not one for relationships and has been known to be quite the slut. Only good for one night stands but that could all change after this encounter with Ben.
Ben is in town for a wedding and stumbled into the sex shop to buy a gag gift for the Groom when he meets tattooed and beautiful Angie. Ben has a thing for women with tattoos and Angie has a lot of them.
This is their story and how it came to be that Ben may convince Angie to be his.
Overall this anthology is really good. There are a few of the stories I really wished were longer and more in depth. But what I got from them was good too. Glad I read this. This book is not at all intended for anyone other than mature readers as there is sex and many many D/s relationships in them. As well as M/M/F and F/f. If tattoos is not something you like or enjoy, this book is FULL of tattoos.

kINKED – Pen and Kink Anthologies
5 star review overall
Wow what a fabulous collection of stories you will find in kINKED! All of the authors in this anthology were new to me so I was looking forward to reading the short stories that it contained and what a gem of stories they were! As with all anthologies I enjoyed some more than others but they were all an enjoyable read. They stories were hot and steamy! They were all different but with one common theme that begin ink! There were a few BDSM themed and some with paranormal elements to them but they were all kinky!
Begin Again by Tiffany Michelle Brown
What a fantastic first story in this anthology! It was unlike anything I had read before and I loved it! This one definitely had the potential to be a full length novel as I desperately wanted to know how Callum and Melissa knew each other! For a shorter story it wasn’t rushed. Callum sounded very sexy! Even I would consider a tattoo from him! This story also had a little bit of a paranormal feel to it!
Inkarnate by Mara Malins
This was one of the longer stories in the anthology but I still wanted more! I have to say this was probably my favourite one! It could be that it was because it was slightly longer and I could get my teeth into it or it could be that the scenes between the two main characters were steamy!! Emily wants to become an apprentice at a renowned tattoo parlour but one of the tattoo artists interviewing seems to take an instant dislike to her – but not for the reasons Emily is expecting!
The Courier by Danielle Davis
This was an interesting short story. It’s about Pier who has been sent to deliver a message – except his message comes in the form of an intricate tattoo on his body. Aubra is meant to read her message and send the courier back on his way, except she takes a liking to him!
Through Glass a Stranger by Renee Dominick
This was a nice little short story about Liliya who likes to watch the hot guy across the street! She thinks he can’t see her but one day when his routine changes she realises that he is also watching her. That’s when the game changes! This was a great hot short story that had quite a few steamy moments in it! I was quickly hooked on it and didn’t want it to end!
For The Occasion by Brantwijn Serrah
To be honest this was probably my least favourite book but only because I am not a fan of f/f stories however I cannot fault how well it was written! It was quiet a short story but didn’t feel rushed. I did like the relationship between the Mistress and her sub – they had a very sensual type of relationship. In the story we see the sub getting a memorable tattoo and how the Mistress enjoyed seeing the pain her sub was going through whilst getting her tattoo done.
Sae-ri by Nicole Blackwood
This was one of the longer stories in the anthology and I will admit it took me a while to get in to. It is a paranormal/fantasy type book with an erotic twist. Once I had got into I quickly found myself drawn in to the story and I really enjoyed it. In this story we read about Zoe who travels across planets using stars to guide her. She arrives on one planet and find gorgeous twin brother who need her help. Little does Zoe know is that the twins will claim her as theirs and she has to decide whether to surrender to them or reject them. I loved the chemistry between all of the characters. I wouldn’t say this was a particularly easy read but definitely one that will captivate you!
Ink and Ocean by Meredith Dark
This was another shorter story in the anthology about Kayla and Mark. They were previously in a relationship where Kayla introduced Mark to the Dom/sub lifestyle but then Kayla vanished from Mark’s life. Mark struggles being a one woman man and that’s what Kayla wanted so she left to seek a normal relationship, even though she craves the Dom/sub life so when her marriage ends she seeks out Mark because she knows he’s the only person who can give her what she truly desires. In this story we see Kayla and Mark reunite and what a hot and steamy reunion it is! This is definitely a story of second chances along with Dom/sub characters! I really enjoyed this story!
Painted Red by Sara Dobie Bauer
This was another favourite of mine in the anthology! It was a completely different storyline to anything I had read before and it was more about tattoo fetishes! In this story we meet Angie, who I thought was a great character, who owns a sex shop, she is also covered with beautiful, bright, colourful, video-game related tattoos. She also has a rule about never sleeping with the same man twice – that is until a sexy red-haired lawyer comes into her shop! Their attraction is immediate. The scenes between them were hot but also sweet at times. I was hooked into this story and would happily have read it as a full length novel!
Overall I really enjoyed this anthology and would definitely recommend it!! All of the stories were different, well thought out and excellently written – there is definitely something for everybody in here and some of these stories definitely had to potential to be full length novels!

The authors of these stories have created stories that will pull you in from the first word. They are short stories that some of them I would love to hear more from. I loved each one and I don't think I have a favorite one as they are all my favorite. The characters in these stories are strong and seem to know exactly what they want and how to get it. Some are submissive and some are more controlling. You will love how you will be able to relate to these characters in some way. They are hot, steamy stories by some great authors that you will need to fan yourself with. I highly suggest this anthology as I know you will fall in love with the characters like I did.

This anthology has eight stories that are hot, sexy, and entertaining short stories that I NEED to be turned into longer novels!! So authors, could you all work on that please!?!
Everyone else hang on to your panties! If this anthology doesn’t make you a little hot and bothered, well I really don’t know what to tell you! These stories include f/f, m/f, voyeurism, and many other ideas. They all have one thing in common though, ink. Tattoos, sexy men and women with tattoos. Some are the artists creating the tattoos some are receiving them. Each story is worthy of five stars!
Begin Again by Tiffany Michelle Brown is a story about Melissa, who when she finally goes to get her first tattoo, starts having visions of the tattoo artist. A feeling of knowing him, of remembering them together. But how? They do have a very hot connection.
Inkarnate by Mara Malins is about Emily who becomes a tattoo apprentice, despite or maybe because of the fact that she doesn’t have a single tattoo anywhere on her body. Matt is one of the artists in the shop but he’s hiding something…does Emily want to know?
The Courier by Danielle Davis is a different type of story. The ink in this short story certainly has something to tell. Can there really be a happily ever after for Pier, who carries the message and Aubra, the one receiving the message?
Through Glass A Stranger is by Renee Dominick. I loved this story. We all have things we want to hide. Sometimes we just need to be seen for our true selves. This story has some voyeurism and even some exhibitionism in it.
For the Occasion by Brantwijn Serrah is about getting a tattoo for a reason. Sometimes we get them for a reward, for love, or to remember a special event. This “occasion” calls for some bondage and a little ink!
Sae-ri by Nicole Blackwood is a story I’m calling Ink Magic. Oh my. This story is about simply surrendering. As easy as that sounds, giving over all control is hard. This story definitely seems to have more to be told.
Ink and Ocean by Meredith Dark is a short story about dominant Mark and submissive Kayla. They are ex-lovers but they get back together for one wild night. But do they want more? Can they really have more?
Painted Red by Sara Dobie Bauer. This story made me laugh out loud and sigh and smile. Angie works in a sex shop. She sees and meets all kinds of people. Some she even hooks up with. Then one day Ben enters the shop. And things change. But doesn’t everyone want one night with the “tattoo freak girl”?
I said it at the beginning of this review and I’m saying it again: these stories are hot and I need more! You won’t be sorry reading this anthology. Each author had smooth writing styles that made me keep turning the page. Eight new to me authors! So many books, so little time!

kINKED is the second volume of the Pen and Ink Anthology Series. The anthology is made up of eight stories all with the same thread or theme which is- Ink (Tattoo’s) and Kink… the stories are contributed by eight very talented authors. Some of the authors I know and have read, but most of the authors are new to me- which is always an exciting thing for me to be able to discover some new sources of reading material.
I really am surprised by how brilliant this whole anthology is. The stories were ALL really well written and completely captivated me from the very first story, all the way through till the last one. There wasn’t one amongst the lot that let the side down; all the stories were really interesting, imaginative and very polished.
Begin again by: Tiffany Michelle Brown
“Don’t let the past get in the way of what could be.”
Melissa is a talented artist who has a great life and some wonderful friends. But she feels like there is just something missing and she can’t quite put her finger on it. She has always wanted a tattoo, but lacked the courage to get it done. So after a night out with her friends, they convince her to get one right then and there. They find a Tattoo shop in the area, but it isn’t open at that time of night. The girls decide to knock on the door anyway and when the door is opened by the store owner, Callum Reid- the connection and chemistry between him and Melissa is instantaneous and powerful, they feel like they have met before, even though they know they haven’t. This meeting opens up a whole new and exciting source of artistic inspiration for Melissa, and has her exploring the possibility and idea of past lives and soul mates.
I really loved the concept of this story. It was really sweet and quite erotic. Callum was a hunk and I would have let him tattoo me in a heartbeat. This is coming from a person who has never had any ink done before and never had an interest in it, till I read this story. The author wrote so beautifully, I felt like I was part of the story.
Inkarnate by: Mara Malins
Emily Mistry is a very talented portrait artist, but there isn’t a lot of money to be made from portraits at the moment and she desperately needs another source of income. She finds exactly the job she wants, at a tattoo studio- so she applies for the position and attends an interview with 5 other applicants, where they have to design tattoos for 3 different clients. Emily’s tattoo designs are superb and quite unique- the only problem is that Emily doesn’t look like your typical Tattoo studio employee; in fact Emily looks more like a Sunday school teacher.
She manages to get the job and is welcomed by all her new colleagues, except one- Matt Jones, who is the studio’s top artist. Things get off to an awkward start and don’t really improve as the days go by. But when all the staff go for drinks one night after work- things get interesting. They end up at a Dom/Sub Club where the sweet and inexperienced Emily has an awakening of sorts. Matt has a whole exciting and dominant side that Emily wants to get to know better. Matt has a lot he wants to teach Emily.
This story is HOT. It’s very erotic and really well written. I would have loved it to be a much longer novel, it was that good!
The Courier by: Danielle Davis
This story tells of a world where paper is so scarce that it has become a rare and valuable commodity. Messages are now written by Scripter on a human ‘canvas’, the courier. The Post Master controls the couriers, who are bought and sold like cattle.
Piers was sold by his family to become a courier and he has just been given his first assignment. His job is to deliver his message to Aubra- whose fiancé is breaking up with her via the canvas.
Aubra is very wealthy and owns a whole room full of books. Piers has never seen so much paper before. She is quite jaded and moody even though she appears to have everything a person could ever want. Piers is hopeful and optimistic, even though his circumstances are far from being ideal.
She is saddened at receiving the message, but feel a connection to Piers that she wants to explore. She organises for Piers to remain with her until the ink can fade from his body. Will they find their own fairy tale and happily ever after?
This is another great story in this anthology. It was different in a good way. The concept was unique and very imaginative. The story had a great pace and flowed well. A quick, easy read.
Through Glass a Stranger by: Renee Dominick
This story is about a voyeur and her obsession with her neighbour in the apartment opposite hers. She is fascinated by him and appreciates his routine. Watching him makes her feel powerful and sexy and helps breaks the monotony and loneliness of her life. She waits for her nightly ‘show’ and has become addicted to what she sees.
But what if he discovers her watching him? What if his ‘shows’ have always been for her? What if this stranger doesn’t want to be a stranger anymore? Will she drop her defences and let him in? Will she discover that they have more in common than she ever realised?
This was such a sexy read. It really made me think about what happens in big apartment buildings and that we never really know what someone has been through until we are willing to drop our defences and get let people in. The characters were really well written, fully developed and likeable. This didn’t feel like a short story and I loved every word of it.
For the Occasion by: Brantwijn Serrah
A story about the love, deep connection and commitment between a Dom, Mistress Selene and her Sub, Baby. A gift of a tattoo and the significance of behind the design and story of this tattoo.
Such a quick read, but a truly beautiful story with a wonderful message. The story didn’t feel rushed or like it was cut short in any way. A great idea perfectly executed by a talented author.
Sae-ri by: Nicole Blackwood
This is a sci-fi/fantasy story that tells of Zoe, a quirky, independent space explorer, adventurer and map maker. Add a set of very hunky, talented twins and this story really takes off!
WOW- This story is soooo great. I couldn’t read fast enough to find out what was happening! The author has a wonderful style and was so easy to read. I wanted more of this story and would love to have a full length novel. Really, you will want to read this story!
Ink and Ocean by: Meredith Dark
Kayla and Mark connected at NYU and had a wonderful time together exploring each other’s bodies. They had matching Tattoo’s, which are a constant reminder of their time together. They have been apart for some time, but this story tells of this reunion and why they have never been able to forget each other, despite having other relationships and lives that went in different directions.
I really liked this story. It was intriguing and entertaining. A sexy story with all the ingredients to make you want more, a lot more. Well done!
Painted Red by: Sara Dobie Bauer
Angie Clare is a vibrant, quirky girl from the wrong side of the track. She loves video games and works in sex shop. Her body is a beautiful canvas, dedicated to ink- her tattoos are an outer expression of her inner self.
This story tells of the night she meets Ben, a lawyer with a tattoo fetish- and what happens when their worlds collide!
I really loved this story; I didn’t want it to end. It would make a truly wonderful full length novel. The story was beautiful and so very erotic. Just loved everything about it.
If you have been on the fence about getting this anthology, I really recommend you get it- as it is so well done. You really won’t regret spending your time and money on this book.
Thank you to all the contributing authors!

kINKED is an anthology consisting of 8 stories by various authors.
The first book is called Begin Again, written by Michelle Brown. The story revolves around Melissa and Callum. A spur of the moment decision leads them to each other, with both sensing a connection that is irresistible, even though they have never met. The addictive passion they both feel increases throughout and neither of them can deny that inevitable draw to each other.
Inkarnate, by Mara Malins, is the second book and it is based on Emily and Matt. Emily is a classic example of why one should not judge a book by it’s cover. The clashes between her and Matt are explosive. Tension mounts. Emily embarks on a journey of discovery with Matt, who is a more than eager teacher, where kink is only the beginning.
The third story is The Courier, by danielle Davis. It centres on Pier and Aubra. Pier worked as a courier, and he as tasked with delivering a most unusual message. The message itself was not the strange part, but the way it was delivered. A sinful and strangely sexy read.
The fourth story is Through Glass a Stranger, written by Renee Dominick. An anonymous liaison between neighbours is where this story begins. They both want each other, and with the arousal and intrigue increasing at every glance, secret viewings were not so secret anymore. A chance meeting raises many unanswered questions. A cleverly written story that will keep you glued to the pages from start to finish. A meeting of broken souls with like minded desires coming together in the most intimate of ways.
For The Occasion is the fifth book in the anthology, written by Brantwijn Serrah. This story put a whole new spin on getting a tattoo. Selene and her sub give a glimpse into the pleasure/pain world of a mistress marking a very special moment with her sub.
Sae-ri, by Nicole Blackwood, is the sixth story. It is a great little paranormal, which is exciting and really funny, sexy and clever. Zoe will learn things are not what they seem and she is not who she believed herself to be. Lukas and Logan are on hand to help her through the discovery of finding the new Zoe, with passion and fire aplenty.
The seventh story is Ink and Ocean by Meredith Dark. Kayla and Mark find themselves together after time apart. Kayla has built up walls that seem impenetrable, but Mark is willing to work hard to smash those walls down. He has a hard time convincing Kayla to overcome her insecurities and convince her that his love for her is real and lasting. She just needs to take a chance on him and their love.
Book eight is, Painted red by Sara Dobie Bauer takes you for wild ride. Angie works at a sex shop where some very interesting classes are held. She meets Ben and sparks fly instantly. It is a case of the nerd taking a walk on the wild side with a tatted up, sexy siren, who has done everything she can to avoid commitment. Ben has her in his sights and is not going to let her get away.
Each story seems to have a heavy focus on tattoos and kink. A great collection that has such variety, it will appeal to almost anyone who like a little kink….. and ink.

Anthologies can be tricky - some stories will be amazing, but they can be overshadowed by ones that.. well, aren't as good. But that's not the case with kINKED. Every story in this book was incredibly well written, even beautifully so. As hot as these stories were, I was also pleased by how lyrical the writing could be. Short stories can be hit or miss with me, mostly because I find it difficult to truly get into an author's world when there isn't much time to describe it - but the authors in this anthology do an excellent job of giving the readers a sense of time and place, despite how few pages they have to do so. There's a couple authors in this anthology I will have to hunt down and see if they have anything else, because I was that into their writing style.
Highly recommended for all my fellow smut-loving readers.
