First book in the BLACK INK Series. A bit dark, a bit edgy, and a whole lot of heat. It does have a bit of a cliffhanger.
18+ adult audience, very strong sexual content.

Wow. Just wow. Dark, edge of your seat, intense, gorgeous Alpha male, suspense and erotic. What more can you ask for in a book? Loved every word.
A gripping romantic thriller
“That flash of heat you get when you look up to the car in front you and realize it’s suddenly stopped short and you’re this close to kissing its @ss? That all of a sudden ‘Oh-Sh!!!?”
That sums up how I felt through most of the story .
What began as revenge and conquest develops into one of the most on the edge of your seat , romantic thrillers I’ve had the opportunity to read .
I couldn’t breathe – it was sheer torture waiting to know how it ended . ..
This book contains adult content -for mature audience only
Black is dark, dangerous and a bit depraved. Gemma is at her last straw and Alex Black is holding it. He arranges to hire the unhirable Gemma who has been blackballed in her field because of her criminally deviant soon to be ex-husband. She is lucky she is not behind bars with the worm.
Alex wants her close because that’s where you keep your enemies. He wants to find out if she had anything to do with the ex costing him millions. There is an animal between them and its name is LUST. She battles it until she can’t anymore. He is so dark, so seductive. But what she does not know is that she already fell into his pit.
When friends become enemies and there is an unknown threat as well she follows the devil into his lair. Now, she is exactly where he wants her to be.
The level of deep gritty sex and the dark foreboding of Alex and Gemma’s enemies keep you biting your lip, holding your breath and squirming in your seat.
NM gives us great characters – Gemma and twisted Alexander. There is heat and steam and suspense and intrigue. I found this a page turner and am ready to
plunge into Book 2!
This is part 1 so ends in a cliff hanger
Very steamy, detailed scenes. This book mostly has sex in it with some action/ others scenes throughout.
Leans towards bdsm
It has not got into the mains characters ties to the mob but has introduced us to her life (talk of her ex and what he did, and introducing us to her friend and friend’s family)
( I knew this going in and was okay with that )
There were some grammatical errors throughout, but not major or distracting enough to take away from the book
On to part 2
OH GOD!!! It was so Hot. I’d instant connection with the characters. Though it’d steamy scenes yet the storyline was beyond great. Love the writing style of the author. I’ll be reading this again and again.:-P
A Story of Starting Over and Sensuality!!
Gemma is starting her life over. After her husband stole 3 million dollars causing her to be fired from her law firm; the only possible way to start over is as a lawyer for the man the 3 million was stolen from. Alexander Black is a powerful and ruthless man. He knows Gemma is applying to his firm, and wants to determine her role in his loss to her husband.
He uses illegal and some may say unethical means to track her. When their mutual attraction and battle of wills escalates we are treated to an amazing inferno of sensuality. One of the hottest stories I have read this year. A brilliant expose into the minds of our main characters; deliciously dark and not for the faint of heart. The first in a series which I now feel compelled to read. I highly recommend this!!
This book is full of steamy sex and a very alpha men that loves control. This book is amazing and just WOW Love the fast pace story that keeps the pages to rning and will blow your mind.
In this first book of N.M. Catalano’s Black Ink trilogy, “keep your friends close and your enemies closer” is the premise Alexander Black uses when he hires Gemma Trudeau, the wife of the man who stole his money…a lot of money. Alexander wants to hate her, wants to exact his revenge and more importantly, wants to know just how much Gemma was involved in her husband’s crimes. Did she know? Did she help? Where is his money? So, he sets things in motion to achieve his goal.
As you might expect, things are never as easy as you plan…feelings happen, secrets are hidden and pasts come back to haunt. And oh, the Faceless Man…hmmmm.
These characters are wonderfully written, complex and real. I’m excited to see where the author’s journey is leading us. This is my first book by N.M. Catalano, she doesn’t know it yet but she won’t be getting rid of me anytime soon.
