I’m reserving judgment for the moment because after this entry I’m intrigued but frustrated. I would classify this strongly as erotica. There is kink exploration and cheating, which are all disclosed pretty much from the gate so you can proceed with caution. I’m interested to see if the author can make this the romance it’s supposed to be because I can really only see that happening one way. It makes me desperate to look ahead, which I also refuse to do. At this point, I’m confused by Zee, annoyed by Trinket, and mostly amused and intrigued by Mini. The author’s very spare writing style isn’t the most appealing to me personally. It’s more of a tell you what happens, and beyond that I wish there were just more details that could clue me in to anyone’s motivations, which is hard with 3rd person POV. Still, I’m clearly sticking around because I’m invested! ***Review is for new edition of combined volumes.
This worked well as fanfition for The Untamed (陈情令) but much less so when divorced from that context. The erotica is scorching hot, but these characters do not stand on their own. If you're picking up this book for anything besides smut, you'll be sorely disappointed.
Ok, so this is not like any other book I have read so I took a little bit to reflect and decide how it really made me feel. A little guide to the characters: Zee and Trinket are in a two year committed relationship. Trinket decides to get a tattoo for their anniversary and this enters Mini, the tattoo artist who awakens desires in Trinket for Zee.
I feel torn honestly. On one hand, I do believe that Trinket lives Zee very much and is justifying his cheating in saying he is doing it for Zee. In his defense, he is using his new confidences after the cheating with Zee and for Zee and is thinking of Zee while it is happening. Here comes my niggle though, he also thinks of Mini while with Zee. Not as much but it is still there. So far there has been no penetrative anal sex between Mini and Trinket and honestly that helped me get through it. It feels like Trinket is saving that part of his relationship for Zee, but it appears to be going that way. I’m not sure I could have gotten through this book with that, and I’m not sure I can read the next if that is coming...
I do not feel that Trinket has feelings for Mini outside of the lustful ones, so that is also helpful. This story is definitely hard. I think something that would have made it better and easier to wrap your head around is perhaps more background as to why Trinket even thought this was a good idea or why he feels his sex live with Zee is lacking...just anything to get into his head as to why he is truly doing this. You get small glimpses but I think something more substantial would help. Also, I do not see how Zee isn’t going to find out, and he definitely does not seem like the sharing type, so I’m not sure how that is all going to play out. Perhaps Trinket will finally feel he has all the tools to keep Zee and his sex life to be as it should be and stop the cheating with Mini...

I don’t mind cheating, but after reading reviews I don’t think I can handle this for seven books. Also, the writing style isn’t for me.
Very unsure of this one..seemed a bit not for me
Finished but won't be reading the next book

The main characters Zee and Trinket had been friends for years and now have been in a relationship for 2 yrs. Then Trinket decides to get a tattoo and in come Mini . The story builds and evolves from there. Taste of ink won’t be for everyone. Though the book is HOT, cheating happens. Daniel May does a good job building up to the end and leaves you wanting more. I really enjoyed this story and didn’t put it down till I was done.
4.5. So wrong and Mini and Trinket are scumbags, but it’s hot and I love it! Read on kindle
WARNING: Ok, if you can’t get past the cheating then it’s cool, just find you another book to read!
Sooooooo fist impression? I wanted more!!
I love what Trinket and Zee have, it’s loving and caring. I do also feel like Zee kinda just is going through the motions of the whole relationship thing. Idk he seemed kinda? uninterested? Granted, I could also feel that he’s been holding himself back and i just wanted to shake him and slap him to give Trinket what he wants...what he needs!!
On that note, i loooooove Mini. I mean talk about cracking open the egg that is Trinket!
Can wait to dive into book 2!
