This was the first book I've read by this author and what a unique one it is. I loved their story and the characters.

Having read Robin Lynn’s work before, I was extremely excited to start “Enchanted Ink”. This book is the first in a long time that I have been able to sit down and devour in a day. Link and Ashton’s relationship flows so naturally that I found myself grinning and feeling Ash’s emotions myself as the first half of the book builds in a “will they/won’t they” delicious burn. The vulnerability of both characters made them seem all the more real and the discussion of trauma and healing was executed wonderfully. Amazing read!

I could not be more grateful for Enchanted Ink being my first ever ARC to receive. From the very first chapter I was ready to DEVOUR this book in one sitting (albeit not that succesfully since I still had other things to do but still...).
I am a reader who usually struggles with romance in fantasy books as it often feels like the main characters skip like 5 steps in building a relationship and end up in one where they know barely anything about the person they supposedly love so much, however, Ashton and Link's relationship - although quite quick to develop - just felt so natural and wholesome that I did not get said feeling from it at any point in the book.
Both Link's and Ash's trauma was explained well and in such manner, that it managed to get the feelings across, although I would - personally - not have minded some more of the angst.
One thing I have to admit though, is that I wish the texts exchanged between Ash and Link hadn't taken up that many pages, but that is honestly the only thing that I was not a big fan of when it comes to this book.
With all that said, after reading this, I will definitely be keeping my eye out for the author's next books.

I loved this. The idea of tattoos infused with magic is so interesting and incredible. The descriptions were so vivid that it was easy to visualize them. Ashton and Link are so sweet and funny and I got the warm fuzzies over them more than once. I didn't want to let them go as characters!
