Of Ink and Alchemy

The Black Rabbit, Book 1

All's fair in love and war at a tattoo parlor—until a stalker enters the picture—in this deliciously dark romance from the author of the Lakes Hockey series.

Even before her father's death, Kelly Everhart always knew Logan Teller was someone she could rely on. Now he's taken over the Black Rabbit tattoo shop and brought her along with him. And while Kelly still finds her former crush and current mentor hot as hell, they're firmly in the friendzone. Or so she thinks....

Logan's been biding his time, but he's no longer leaving anything to chance—not since Kelly started getting serious with her boring boyfriend. And as Logan manipulates the situation and sabotages the couple every chance he gets, Kelly starts to notice all the ways Jason doesn't quite measure up to the man who's always been such a huge part of her life.

When her relationship with Logan suddenly goes from playful and platonic to strictly sinful, Kelly can't stop herself from falling head over heels. But just as things are heating up between them, she starts receiving anonymous messages with information only a few—including Logan—could possibly know about her. Can she trust him after all?

Of Ink and Alchemy is a dark romance with a morally gray MMC and mature content. Narrated in duet style.

AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ

My oh my!!
Logan Teller… I cannot say enough good things about this book. I loved it !!
I’m not spoiling anything all I’m going to say is, what a great read. The storyline was amazing and the spice .. WOAH!

Love the title

I love the male narration on this book. The sound effects were an ovary explosion! The male narrator was amazing, though female could have used a little more expression during the spicy scenes. It kinda seems like she was just narrating at times and didn’t seem into the moments like the opposing actor. The book overall was catchy but gave you that “okay f-er in real life your balls would be hung on my wall, yet he will burn down the world for her” feel. I would definitely re-listen over and over. Can’t wait to see what is to come in this series.

Narrators top notch!!!!

Loved it! Story was good, narration was amazing! No notes!!! Hot, exciting, and written so well. James and Chloe nailed it!

Whew!

This is my first audiobook with James Cassidy and be still my heart! He brought a level of heat and sexiness to Logan that I did not anticipate.

This is a spin off of sorts, Logan is the stepbrother of Camden "Banksy" Teller from the Lakes Hockey series. We met him and Kelly in Stand and Defend (book 4) and when I tell you this book did not disappoint, I am not lying.

This is a friends to lovers romance with a suspenseful twist. Kelly has a stalker and things are escalating. Throw in a morally gray MMC with a deliciously scandalous dirty mouth, a giant rescue pup and a few forbidden secrets and you have the recipe for a great story! The only thing I didn't like is that I was able to figure out who the big bad was early on but even this came with a few twists I didn't foresee.

Sloane never disappoints and she honestly hit it out of the park with this one.

Great narrators

Narrators are great! They made the store. Loved how different every character sounded. The love story’s a big red flag but kinda hot.
