J.M. Dabney is a
recently new found author for me. I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed
the stories... that came out wrong. What I mean is for me they were very
enjoyable read, and I must admit I've read them quite a few times and enjoy
them more with each reading. So here are the first three and the next in line. If you haven't already checked this author out than please do so━you won't regret it.
Welcome to Twirled World Ink
where the crazies run the asylum.
The hum of a tattoo machine was
Brian “Berzerker” Anderson’s favorite sound in the world. He’d won a coveted
spot at Twirled World Ink with a legend in the business, Gib Phelps. Creating
beauty with his large, scarred hands was his happy place—the place where he fit
in the world. Although, nothing could remain perfect forever, his boyfriend of
over a year decided to move on and up without him in tow. He had two choices,
return to living with his friends and co-workers or take an offer too tempting
to pass up.
Landon Phelps grew up in an
unconventional home as the only child to Legendary Tattoo Artist Gib Phelps and
mother, Peaches. He always felt a bit out of place when he became a boring
accountant instead of following in his parents’ footsteps. Boundaries were in
place early on; he didn’t date the employees of Twirled World Ink. Sometimes
rules were meant to be broken. Bezerker was his idea of perfection, large, husky
and tattooed; the thick, grab-worthy beard was a bonus. So when the boyfriend
became the ex, Landon decided it was time to get his man.
With the help of the matchmaking
Twirled Crew, can Landon finally get Berzerker to see him as more than a friend
and the employer’s son?
TROUBLE (TW 2)
Model perfect Jimmy “Trouble”
Carver had never heard the word no. Tattooed, sexy and the quintessential bad
boy Trouble had men falling over themselves to get to him. What people didn’t
know about him was he was self-conscious even if life was easy for him. He’d
started out as an apprentice at Twirled World Ink after college and never
looked back. Trouble was exactly where he wanted to be, although there was one
speed bump, his crush refused to go out on a date.
Brody Vaughn worked in a dead-end
job, barely making it from paycheck to paycheck. He didn’t have much time for
anyone other than his five-year-old daughter Mina and besides he’d never quite
found a place in this world he fit. Chunky and average, that's how he felt,
except for when Trouble came into the grocery store where he worked. The
flirty, gorgeous man asked him out every week with a sexy smile, but Brody had
to refuse. It wasn’t as if he wanted to say no, it was just how could he date a
man Brody knew he had no business trying to keep.
The Crazies of Twirled World Ink
excel at one thing, matchmaking, and they are determined their resident bad boy
would get his man. They just had to make sure that neither Trouble or Brody
screwed up their plan.
SCARY (TW 3)
Gene Sheridan earned the
appropriate nickname when Legend Gib Phelps employed him at Twirled World
Ink—Scary. No one made it out of his old neighborhood without scars both mental
and physical. At one time, Scary thought he had a chance that is until his
ex-boyfriend discovered slumming with someone like him wasn’t worth his trust
fund. No-strings hookups became his go-to when he needed to relieve some
tension. Co-owning a bar called Brawlers with his best friend, Tank, made it
easy to find a body to use for the night. If not happy he was content with his
life, but one man made content seem like such a terrible thing.
Elijah Vaughn worried about
everything. His life was put on hold at eighteen when his mostly-absent parents
died on one of their many adventures leaving him to raise his six-year-old
brother, Brody. He’d never had anything or anyone that was just his. When Brody
met a tattoo artist named Trouble, Elijah hadn’t realized how much it would
change his life too. He met a huge man named Scary and how the man made him
feel terrified him.
Tank Davis lost his voice the
night he was attacked and had this throat slit ear-to-ear. It kept him in a
world of silence. Silent and intimidating, he scared off more men than he drew
to him. His best friend Scary and him made a life for themselves in small town
Georgia with their bar Brawlers. Most night everyone could find him working
security at the door. Scary called in a favor, and Tank met the one man he
couldn’t resist, proper and upstanding Elijah Vaughn.
Can one man accept that there’s
not one perfect man for him, but two damaged souls who need him to be whole?
And Coming Soon
Lucky (TW 4)
When someone was asked to
describe crazy, if they knew Lee “Lucky” Trenton they’d point at him. Accident
prone and without a filter of any kind to tell him to shut up before he says
something inappropriate he’s no one’s idea of a perfect partner. Growing up
with parents who subscribed to a philosophy of Radical Honesty Lucky and his
siblings were doomed from the womb. Lucky found a home away from home at
Twirled World Ink, but he didn’t just find a place to belong. He’d found
Priest.
Matthew “Priest” Beall ran away
from his judgmental family the second he’d earned the money. He’d come in
search of Gib Phelps a legend in the tattoo industry. If you wanted to learn
the craft, then Gib was the man to beg an apprenticeship with, and he’d begged.
Priest might have left the violence of his past behind, but when he closed his
eyes it came back to torture him. The only place he felt safe was when his best
friend Lucky let him sleep in his arms. He wanted more, but he didn’t think he
deserved it.
Priest left his family behind
without regret only to find a new one with the crew of Twirled World and the
super weird Trenton family. Could he grab onto his new life or would the
memories of the past ruin the happiness he’d gained?
