OVERALL, I loved this Midnight Ink!! I am astonished at how well these authors came together and created 8 different stories that all meshed so well together. I loved the ongoing characters throughout all the stores especially Sassy, I really wish she would have gotten her own love story. I love how the coffee in the Deep South is a running storyline in every novella.Over all I give Midnight Ink 4  out of 5, I loved the range of emotional stories and the different sensitive topics each author touched on.Jayne RylonReport For BootyThis was my first introduction to Jayne Rylon. I thought that Report for Booty was a really cute story. I love how it touches on our wounded warriors and the sacrifices they make for our country. Chavon and Burke are both memorable characters. It was a great start to this Anthro, we were introduced to Shep and Sassy which I hope we see MUCH MUCH more of.Sidney BristolPicture Her BoundHOLY BONDAGE!!! I have never read BDSM before and this was a great intro into the world by an author. I really enjoyed the strength in both the characters and the little mystery we got while these two were “playing”. It made this introduction in Sidney’s new Bayou Bound series fast paced and captivating, I can’t wait to see where this series will go.Robin L. RothamNot So Over EliI have never read anything by Robin before but I know her name is synonymous with erotica that leaves you hot!! This novella definitely lived up to that reputation. I wanted a little more “story” from this novella but it didn’t lack in the heat at all and I enjoyed the characters.PG ForteInked MemoriesThis is not my first encounter with PG but it is the first time I cried while reading a story. This story was not just about two people rekindling a romance; it’s about overcoming losing apart of you. As a woman I can’t imagine losing my breasts so to read Sophie’s struggle, my heart cried for her. Declan has his one battle within himself that pulls at the heart strings as well. Reading the previous stories in the Anthology I was expecting a hot and steamy read but I was happily surprised to have my heart squeezed in the middle of this Anthro. Thank you PG.RG AlexanderTo The BoneAHHHH!!! This was a very touching story. I really enjoyed watching Etta let go of her violent past and learn how to allow someone to really love her. I felt a little lost with all the characters in this novella but I realized after reading it that it was part of an already ongoing series hence some of my confusion BUT now that I have read it and I am officially intrigued about the world and stories of the other characters, I’m going to go back and read the first 2 books in the series. I really enjoyed this novella.Eden BradleyDangerously InkedThis was my first time reading Eden’s work, she definitely knows her Kink and BDSM. I was a little lost with some of the vocabulary only because I don’t read BDSM on a regular basis but Eden showed me that it’s a world of its own. I enjoyed reading about Rosie and finally seeing her get her love story after meeting her in the previous novellas of Midnight Ink. She is a strong character with a story to tell and I didn’t realize how much of a story till now. Finn was a strong character as well and I liked how the Dom showed his softer side with Rosie.Carrie Ann RyanInk Inspired, Montgomery Ink 0.5I have been a longtime fan of Carrie Ann and I am so happy to be able to read the prequel to her brand new series. Carrie Ann is known for her Paranormal series so to see her in the contemporary romance world is actually really cool. I was hoping to see Shep get his love story and I was happy that I did. Also we got to meet Austin who I am sure will be a man that finds his love story in one of the Montgomery Ink books. Shea and Shep are so cute together and really offset each other in a brilliant way. I wanted to scream I hated Shea’s mother so much and that is how you know you are reading a good story.Mari CarrBlank Canvas, Big Easy, book oneI really liked this story! I love how the title fits the story perfectly, Jennifer needs a new start and to find her colors, who is more perfect to help her do that than a tattoo artist that loves to turn woman into art with hot wax!! I am definitely adding Mari Carr and this new series to my TBR.
