Men like Nick should come with a warning label... don’t touch. He walked into the shop, smelling like heaven, wanting his first tattoo, and I should have refused his business. Because I knew the moment I set eyes on him, I didn’t stand a chance. Still, I fell down the rabbit-hole with him.
Now, he’s gone, moved on, and the result of our one-night stand is left growing inside me. I’ll probably never see this man again.
NICK
It was only supposed to be a little ink. A parting gift to myself from myself. Because when your girlfriend dumps you for a famous rockstar, you leave. You move on. You get the hell out of town and forget all about her. But I never counted on meeting Amanda before I left. Or the night we shared. Or the mark she left when she put her ink on my skin.
I have to go back. For her.

This is the first book I have read by this author and it certainly won’t be the last because truth be told I’m really struggling to understand why I haven’t come across Ms Darlington before now.
Inked is a stand-alone romance that starts in a tattoo parlour, Nick walks in to get his first tattoo and it’s Amanda who is the tattoo artist who has the honour of tattooing his virgin skin. An instant attraction turns into a night of passion, they are never meant to meet again but Nick can’t get the stunning tattoo artist out of his mind. Amanda is also struggling to forget the handsome guy who left her with more than just memories and when he arrives back in town she knows he deserves to be told he is going to become a father but will the man who struggles to understand his real worth ever feel worthy enough to be a father she knows he is capable off.....
This is an emotional read that at times broke my heart, but it also had me smiling as the characters learnt to love themselves as well as the partners that came into their lives when they least expected it.
Inked is beautifully written, it covers mental health issues compassionately and it’s told in both Nick and Amanda’s POV. Love is not always easy, it’s not always simple but it’s always worth it.
Looking forward to reading more from the very talented Ms Darlington.
Sarah Darlington is a new author to me and I am surprised that I have not come across her before. Inked is Nick and Amanda’s story and I was invested from the first to the last chapter. This is a well written story that ticked many boxes for me.
When Nick walk in to the tattoo parlour where Amanda weaves her magic, he has no idea that they are about to embark on a journey that will change both their lives forever. Their attraction is instant and what follows is a night of passion which as Nick is leaving town will be all they have.
Fate works in mysterious ways and when Nick returns to town, he is shocked to learn that he is going to be a father. This was an emotional read at times and my heart almost broke for both Nick and Amanda on occasion. I also appreciated that the author tackled the issue of Mental Health with dignity and respect, she didn’t shy away from it and I appreciated that.
Can Nick and Amanda, both with baggage come together and forge a path to love and happiness and above all else become a family? One click and find out.
