James and Tate first meet when Tate is on a covert ops mission with her mother crawling across his Father's lawn looking for her missing cat!  After a less then auspicious start, they have an intense physical attraction to one another that burns white hot.  They can hardly resist each other despite the fact that James' Father and Tate's Mother live in a seniors retreat!After several hilarious coitus interruptus moments, they start an intense physical affair that's only meant to last as long as their stay with their parents and they decide to go their separate ways as they return to the city to carry on with their lives.  James, however, can't stay away from Tate, his pirate princess, and he seeks her out and their affair continues in the city.James was a wonderful hero - a tall, bronzed and tattooed Adonis.  He's talks dirty to Tate, really turns her on, is an incredibly attentive lover and is strong and dependable.  He's had a series of casual affairs since his marriage broke down and isn't looking for anything serious but he finds he feels very differently about Tate and can't get her out of his mind and can't resist her.Tate - now, this is where my rating falls down for this book.  This story is an amazingly hot and sexy romance with a little bit of suspense going down too but Tate is such a seriously judgemental and prejudiced individual, I felt I had to drop my rating.  She constantly refers to James as `your kind' just because he has a few tatts - she judges him and finds him wanting based purely on the fact that he's got ink.  This is, of course, why the book is called More Than Meets The Ink  as James is nothing like the pre-conceived ideas that Tate has erroneously conjured up and I found her attitude seriously distasteful.  She's a difficult heroine to like.  In her defence, she's had a tough year, is grief-stricken, over-worked, stressed out and has a crazy-ass stalker to boot but, despite all this, calling a man you're having an intense physical relationship with `your kind' just left a foul taste in my mouth.  I didn't think she really deserved James.This was my only problem with the book - everything else was a delight to read. I enjoyed all other aspects of the story and Elle Aycart knows how to write really hot and exciting sex scenes and I'm definitely carryong on.  It's a great erotic, contemporary romance and the second book and it's heroine is a huge improvement on Tate so keep reading!!3.5 stars erotic romance
