A Taste of Ink by Daniel May
3.5

I think I might be reading this book wrong.
I’m honestly way more into Trinket’s relationship with his actual boyfriend than the dude he is cheating with.
And that just can’t be right.. After all, I'm pretty sure this book is intended to be kinky and sexy because of the cheating, not despite of it. Yet, here we are.

I mean, literally, I find the scenes with his boyfriend so good; they’re hot, tender, raw, loving, dirty, affectionate, possessive. I love it.

And then there’s the dude he’s cheating with, and he genuinely just weirds me out most of the time. I also really dislike him as a person.
There’s definitely potential for him to grow on me, though; maybe if he starts actually catching feelings for Trinket, then I’ll probably get more into it. Maybe we’ll even get some jealousy: I would love that.

But, you know, I simply feel so very bad for the boyfriend. Sorry. Can’t help it.

Nonetheless, I can’t deny that this book was incredibly hot. It just was. There’s a lot of smut here, and all of it is done extremely well. Even the cheating.

“I’ll dick you down so good you’ll forget his name. You’ll forget your own name.”
“That’s why I need you to tattoo his name on me. That way you can fuck me so hard I forget, and I have something I can double check before I go home to him.”


All in all, I was thoroughly engaged while reading this book, the relationship dynamic is very interesting, the sex is hot as hell, and the writing was pretty good (despite some typos).
