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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
