I voluntary reviewed an ARC copy of this book.

I am hard pressed to find anything Carrie Ann Ryan writes that I don’t enjoy. I am not a fan of contemporary romance but I know that Ryan rarely, if ever, disappoints. Inked Expressions has everything you come to love from a Ryan contemporary romance: characters with more depth than the Grand Canyon, a storyline as entertaining as it is romantic, and let’s not leave out the steamy scenes between a couple you’ll root for from page one. Not to mention it is a friends to lovers story which is hands down one of my favorite tropes.
