Oh, James Bowen... How I have missed you and your sexy, dirty, sweet, sexy, bossy mouth. Did I say sexy? James Bowen and his brother Cole are two sexy BAMFs. The amount of sexy aggression that just rolls off those two is enough to make any woman melt.  What really makes James Bowen sexy, though, is the way he loves Tate. He makes his princess feel safe, desired, treasured. There is nothing James won't do or say to make Tate happy. It honestly doesn't get any sexier than that.Inked Ever After is about the time leading up to James and Tate's wedding, and she's not handling the stress well. Wedding planning is hell under the best of circumstances, but Tate is also still dealing with the death of her father and brother. Gosh, the author did an amazing job of conveying Tate's grief. Her pain was heartbreaking and had my eyes welling up with tears more than once. And though this aspect of the story is so sad, it also gives Tate - and the reader - the opportunity to see how amazing James is.Author Elle Aycart is a BOSS when comes to erotic romance, and is truly one of the very best out there. Super Alpha James is an aggressive, bossy, and barely leashed beast (just go with me, this is a good thing). Pirate Princess Tate (trust me, this makes sense if you read the books) has come a long way since the beginning of More Than Meets the Ink. This woman is out of control hot for James, and I loved when she gave him a run for his money. So yeah, Inked Ever After is so freaking hot that I got more than a little lightheaded and at times I could barely see straight.Aaaand.... Inked Ever After seems to have a nice lead-in to the next books in the series, about Max, Mike, and Jack. If you're looking for erotic romance with sexy, badass and completely lovable Alpha men and the sexy, badass women who can handle them, the Bowen series is a sure thing.
