I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.For me, Jenika Snow’s name has become synonymous with quality MC romances. Her latest installment Inked, just cemented that reputation.What makes Ms. Snow’s MC series so wonderful is her ability to write interesting characters that I enjoy reading about. She is able to show the hero’s sweet and caring side without detracting from his macho, alpha, tough guy reputation. She also writes her heroines as smart, sassy, independent women who inspire their men to be better people.Cadeon and Stella are just two more examples of this. Stella is the daughter of the Vicious Bastards MC Club so she is no stranger to the dangerous life of an MC Club. She has always been loved and protected by these dangerous men so she has no fear of them. But Stella has been afraid to go after the man that she has been crushing on for three years. Cadeon is the owner of the tattoo parlor where the Vicious Bastards get their ink. He has lusted after Stella from afar ever since he met her, but has too many concerns about getting involved with her. First of all, he’s almost twice her age. Second, he doesn’t consider himself a nice guy and thinks that Stella deserves better. Finally, she’s the President’s daughter and that comes with its own risks.When the two finally get together, their romance actually turns into a sweet, loving story. I enjoyed watching Cadeon realize how much Stella means to him and his desire to be the man that she deserves.  Their relationship was authentic and I didn’t even mind their age difference because they still had so much in common. They made sense as a couple and I was absolutely cheering for them to get their happy ever after. And let’s not forget their chemistry because it was definitely hot.Ms. Snow also devotes as much attention to the secondary characters as she does the main ones because they are just as interesting. I especially enjoyed the interactions with Stella and her father as he learned to accept that she was an adult with a love life.Inked is a quick read coming in at less than 100 pages but Ms. Snow did not shortchange the reader. Inked is a standalone book but I’m secretly hoping this is the start of another great MC series by the always dependable Jenika Snow.
