Description

Kieran Donovan has always been a doormat to the women in his life. Begging his wife not to leave after finding her in bed with not one—but five men—only provides further proof of that.

In need of an escape from an empty house and a broken heart, Kieran heads to Midtown to see his estranged brother, Liam. There he meets Shayne Wickham, Liam’s best friend. Shayne’s dark and sexy with a wild streak a mile long and a sexual appetite for things Kieran’s never even dreamed of doing. But after an intense, and all too brief encounter, he’s more than willing to learn. Despite the usual safeguards Shayne keeps around herself and her own wounded heart, she finds herself more than willing to show him the ropes…and the floggers…and the paddles.

Kieran’s never seen himself as dominant in any aspect of his life. But when Shayne submits herself to him, it ignites an inner strength and hunger he never knew he had—and feelings Shayne didn’t know she could have. So used to keeping others at an arm’s length, the ease with which she finds herself trusting Kieran is both exciting and unsettling. Could Kieran be someone she could finally trust her heart to—or will he leave her scarred like everyone else?

Just another mark on her skin.

This is the first book in the Love & Ink Series by J.A. Howell.

    To be honest, I began reading this book because I read a bad review. The reviewer only gave it one star, and they said that it was too hardcore and explicit. Which actually irritated me, it’s an erotic romance and the title is “Marks on My Skin”… Did you think it was gonna be sunshine, roses and stolen kisses in the garden?! It’s completely unfair to leave a poor review because you don’t like the genre. This book fearlessly navigates the complexities of passion, desire and self-discovery, blending evocative language with explicit scenes that propel the narrative. Howell skillfully crafts characters who not only engage in sensual encounters but also grapple with their own vulnerabilities. The characters aren't just about getting busy; they've got their own messy feelings to deal with! The explicit nature of the novel adds an unapologetic layer to the storytelling. If you're up for a steamy rollercoaster ride into the more taboo side of literature, “Marks On My Skin” is your book!

    Started reading this book and was pulled into this story. It brought out all types of emotions, it made me laugh, it made me hot and it made me cry. What Shayne goes through opens my eyes to my sheltered life. She is a strong woman who is searching for her missing pieces. Can’t wait to continue the next book.
