Ever since I found my way to the Bayou Heat series written by Laura Wright and Alexandra Ivy, I have been searching out and reading as much of Laura Wright's books as I can find.  So I was pleasantly surprised to find the novella First Ink - part of Wright's Wicked Ink Chronicles - within the Wicked Firsts Anthology.Wright's characters always seem to have a way of jumping off the page and joining reality.  I feel as though if I were to travel to where they are, I'd probably see them sitting at a bar, pushing their ways through crowds or strolling through a room like they own it.  I've come to expect this air of knowing and familiarity with her characters and was not let down by Rush and Addison.First Ink brings the reader into a story where you know immediately that you've missed the whole beginning of this love story.  Rush and Addison see each other for the first time in five years when they're thrown together by friends and fate and are forced to find a way to reconcile their past with their present.I could feel the emotional pain emanating off both of them through their words and actions.  It was so visceral at times that I had to remind myself that it's a story and I couldn't change what was happening no matter how hard I tried.  Luckily - this being a romance and everything - I didn't have to wait long for the pain to change to other emotions altogether.If the rest of the Wicked Ink Chronicles are anything like First Ink - this tattooed romantic will happily keep reading.Happy Reading :-)
