MORE THAN MEETS THE INK by Elle Aycart is a sexy-as-sin contemporary romance that will help any reader warm up against the crisp winter season or self-combust from all the crazy, no-strings-attached monkey sex James and Tate did for most of the story."--nine times out of ten, tattoos are an unmistakable marker for the whole bad-boy, I-am-above-all-that-mundane-s*** style of life. So like Pavlov's dogs, I learned--tattooed men are evil."And that is where Tate is wrong. I found it hard not to LOVE much less get all hot and bothered by James Bowen, a sexy 34yo black-belt ex-Marine Catholic guy and his made-for-sex 6'4 body with a beautiful dragon tattoo snaking up his arm and blue label skills in the bedroom. I was fanning my face as I mirror Tate's reaction to the man and his insatiable libido. James is a carefully crafted male meant to ignite out fantasies (or torture us), his name alone is foreplay! Don't you just love the name James?! Anyway, he's a good guy wrapped in bad-boy package with his tattoos and muscly built and no-nonsense attitude like David Beckham or The Rock.The story... I almost forgot because I got distracted by James. Well the story is pretty simple, James met Tate when the latter was vacationing in his mother's house in some senior community housing. The instant attraction between Tate and James is instinctual and purely animal, they can't stay away from each other even after Tate went back to her life to deal with her personal problems. James can't get her off his mind so he followed her and the weekender turned into forever with a few hiccups along the way."Sorry to inform you, but you've been having sex with morons. [James]"The little role reversal was fun to follow. Tate is the belligerent one between the two, wanting to keep their relationship purely casual even when she was obviously falling in love with James. In hindsight I appreciate her caution, she might have put out for James but Tate is no slut. James for his part continued to seduce and court her, taking care of Tate until she finally gave in and surrendered to James completely. There was a little snafu about exes just to keep things interesting but that conflict only solidified the bond James and Tate had.MORE THAN MEETS THE INK is a great spicy contemporary romance read. You'll be left panting trying to catch up with Tate and James' sexual energy. The main plot is well developed too, it's not one of those bimbo-books where the story would collapse if you take out the heat, the smexy is just an added bonus to an already sweet and romantic story.
