This book is the prequel to Clipped Wings and is very short. I started reading and literally was done less than an hour later and I was busy at work. Despite this, I found Cupcakes and Ink to be a great little teaser for what is going to come next.We first meet Tenley, new to Chicago and soon to be grad student. There is something in Tenley's past that she is trying to get away from but we don't get any real hint as to what it is other than something which caused her pain. She appears to be a likeable character. More importantly, she has her eyes on the hot tattoe artist who works across the street from her apartment.Hayden, sounds like your typical tattoed hottie. Not sure if he is gonna be an alpha male hero or not, but he most definitely sounds like he had a bad boy past. What's best is the glimpse into his homelife and behaviors which I have to say have me intrigued. Like Tenley, he is thinking a lot about the new girl working across the street in his aunt's shop.What I loved about this quick story was that it gives you great insight into the first impression. Often times I read stories and wonder what it is about the other character that has the hero and/or heroine head over heels or willing to change. Normally we get little bits to explain, but in Cupcakes and Ink we get the whole picture and now I cannot wait to start Clipped Wings.I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
