Oh my! Holy Hotness! This book is about Ryn, a tattoo artist with a past and Slade who wants to know more about her. Ryn is hesitant to have a relationship with Slade. Does Slade breakdown her barriers? Can he accept her past? You will have to read this book to find out. Warning, this book is hot!
Like previous books I’ve read by this author this book is oh so good. It’s a novella which can be read pretty quickly. Be warned once you start you won’t wanna put it down until you’ve finished it. It’s that kinda book.
Ryn Callan is brilliant. (Well she would be with Callan as her surname 🙂 ) She’s a single mum working hard to bring up her daughter alone. She’s kept men at a wide berth due to being hurt in the past. Then Slade Maddox walks in and he’s infatuated by her. He wants to break down that thick wall she’s built around herself and her daughter. Read it to see if he succeeds.
I highly recommend this little gem. I’m really looking forward to reading more from this author.
OMG what a way to follow up Pierced ink!!!!
This story is short and dirty with a couple that draws you in and gets you hot and bothered. Equally hot and sexy, if not more…..
received this ARC that i read willingly

Ruthie –
I am a big fan of these short stories, and I enjoy the premise greatly. I think the idea behind this one was really good, but somehow the story didn’t flow as well as some of the others. I found that there were some elements which didn’t quite make sense to me.
It is a sweet, as well as sexy story, and gives the reader some super sexy moments and a desirable ending.
Avid Reader –
M/F Romance
Slade is a player. There is just no way around it. He likes playing the field and having a new woman each night. Despite his partner’s warnings that someday he’d be drawn to just one woman, Slade just doesn’t believe that.
Ryn is working hard to ensure that her daughter, Roxie, has an amazing life. Ryn is talented and patient with her clients, but the one client she can’t really stand is Slade. When her boss asks her to take a last-minute client, she readily agrees. However, when Slade walks in, she regrets that. She is attracted to Slade, but also knows his reputation.
I liked how Ryn was able to set aside her preconceived notions about Slade. She allowed him to show her just the kind of man he could be with her by his side. Slade was kind and gentle with both Ryn and Roxie. He grew as a character drastically throughout this short story.
While there were some aspects that were very fast and not well explained, you could tell that Ryn and Slade had great chemistry.
Reviewers on the Wicked Reads Review Team were provided a free copy of Madd Ink by Dani René to read and review.
I can not get over Ryn and Slade. And even Roxie! Slade was so much more than I expected. A bad boy cop with a heart of gold. And Ryn. She was so much more as well. “Never judge a book by its ink”- words to remember and words to live by. This series has impressed me for the simple fact that these novellas are jam packed with all the emotions and steaminess that you could ask for! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Loved it! This was a lot sweeter than I was expecting, especially with Slade and his playboy ways. But it was perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing (except to have more, I just love Dani’s writing). It was a balanced mix of sweet and steamy, the dirty bits were definitely there! Can’t wait for more!
Secrets and fear are the things that have kept Ryn and her daughter safe and secure. It’s also kept her heart safe. When Slade decides he wants her all that’s kept her safe flies out the window.
Much too short and so doggone good, I mean how can you not love a man who takes the time to talk to kids. Yup Slade pulls out all the stops and realizes it’s time for major changes in his life and these are the two he wants. Awesome story from an amazing author that makes it so good and hot and yummy.
Dani Rene writes a lot of books that I enjoy reading. Some of them are dark and twisted. Some of them are not. Some of them are light, fluffy pieces of mind-candy that will give you a nice, hot happy. This one falls into the latter category. I’ll definitely be keeping it around for days when I need something quick and easy to read.
Ryn learned that men can’t be trusted. She’s more than willing to stick with that lesson when notorious man slut Slate Maddox shows an interest in her. She doesn’t want to be a notch in his bedpost and she doesn’t want to let him in her life if he’s just going to get bored and walk away. Slade is bound and determined to break through her walls.
Very hot and steamy, very quick and easy to read. I liked the byplay between Ryn and Slade. They are magnetic and so drawn to each other. Great read.
I loved this quick steamy read with the add bonus of family. It had a little home is where the heart is. The main characters within Madd Ink were the sub characters within Pierced Ink.
I didn’t know Ryn was going to be Slade’s love interest but I’m glad it was her over another. She made Slade work for it and prove that he was more than just a man whore. I believe Slade found just the right woman to set him straight.
I just adored this book!
I loved Slade and Ryn and of course Roxie.
Loved that Slade is a hot tattooed detective and Ryn breaks the mold of preconceived ideas of how a mom should look.
Ms. René not only wrote a great story with a great plot.
But she also wrote wonderful characters that I fell in love with and was rooting for them from beginning to end.
Especially Ryn. I felt for her so deeply,she touched my heart.
Sweet story with lots of heat thrown in.
Madd Ink is a short story but it’s filled to the brim.
Looking for a quick steamy heartfelt story? Slade and Ryn’s one is for you! Ryn is a single mother doing all she can to support herself and her daughter and I think she’s doing incredible. Slade is a bit cocky at first but seeing past that once he’s introduced to Roxie makes me fall head over heels for him. This story is sexy and sweet that flowed beautifully with a HEA ending. It just goes to show you that what’s on the surface is not all there is, looking under the outside layers you’ll find out the truth. Not everyone is how how they appear on the outside. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
Short sexy novella that pairs up with Pierced Ink. Standalone, but Jagger and Ava from Pierced Ink do make appearances. If you haven’t had the privilege to read their story, please do so, cause it’s a hot little number as well.
Dani Rene has entertained me again in Madd Ink with her bad boy, cocky attitude and a single, tatted mother who has been burned in the past by men. Both slowly come together proving to themselves and one another that conquering your obstacles in life can form a life of happiness and love.
“I can’t help seeing a man who I know will be my end. He’s going to take me and make me his and I have no way of stopping him.”
“I’ve never begged a woman, never had to ask twice.”
At first we see Slade Maddox with a typical a$$hole nature but when he pairs up with Ryn Callan we see he has a different personality; one that I grew to like. I really liked Ryn, maybe due to the fact she’s a mother and her world revolves around her daughter, but to see her loosen the strings and let Slade in slowly not for herself but the future of her daughter is remarkable. Their chemistry was hot, his alpha-ness was sinful.
The only reason I couldn’t add one more star is that I felt it lacked the “uh-oh” moment. The climax of something big. For Slade to mess up, for Slade to come to the rescue… even though I feel that way, I enjoyed this book a lot. Loved the characters and the storyline.
