I feel like I was really let down when it comes to Zeke’s book.
I wanted to see more…
More of Zeke maybe fighting his feelings because he worries about the age difference.
More of Trixie standing up when Zeke gives her the hot and cold shoulder.
Heck give me more drama with Trixie’s mother. I mean heck half the book was Trixie going on constantly talking about how her mom was so controlling. She never dyed her hair, ate a lot of junk food, didn’t date, and never thinks to go against her mother do pursue her art. I would think we’d see more than just the mom walk off in a huff after Trixie tells her what she wants.
Really disappointed with this one, especially after the first 3 being so freakin good!
Zeke is the dad of Eye Candy ink and has watched almost all of his “kids” in the shop find their soulmates. Well he sure found his on one lucky day, but they both had some hold ups despite feeling extreme feelings for the other. It was such a good feeling to see Zeke find his happily ever after, and this book did not let me down when it came to my expectation of what the book would be like.
This is the fourth book in this series the Eye Candy Ink series and it is one of the best series that I have ever read and I couldn’t wait to dive right in and see if Zeke finds his own happy ever after. When you start reading it after reading the others in series its honestly like catching up with old friends. This book is Zeke and Trixie’s story.
Book #1 Atlas

I absolutely love reading this authors books and I always look forward to her books when she release’s a new book. This book series is one of then best that I have ever read and in was so glad to read about Zeke. This author always writes fantastic characters that you can really connect to and I loved the fact that this book had characters for the previous books to because I love catching up with them. This book was an awesome romance book and I highly recommend this book and also reading the previous title first because they are all fantastic. This book is a must read and is out now.
Trixie goes into the Eye Candy Ink to get some background for an art project she has. She’s in college taking business classes and hates it but her mother…… Trixie loves art and after meeting Zeke she finds another love. This is a sweet older sexy alpha male and a younger woman. Zeke is the only one in Trix’s life that has cared about her wish to be an artist. Love how Trixie finally gets a backbone with her mother. Great short story. Love this series. Next is Nico. I received an ARC copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
I liked this story a lot. It was entertaining and enjoyable. The characters were interesting and enjoyable. I liked all of Zeke’s friends and workers. They were all so accepting of Trixie that it was awesome.
***Blurb
Zeke Miller is the owner of Eye Candy Ink and the father figure to everyone at the shop. An only child who had to grow up far too young, he’s always felt protective of those he loves.
He’s spent years building Eye Candy Ink into what it is today. While others dated and settled down, he worked, honing his skills until he’s one of the best and most sought after tattoo artists in the world. At thirty-six, he thinks his time to meet someone has passed and he’s resigned to being happy with the family that he’s found at his shop.
Then Trixie Clemonte comes into Eye Candy Ink. She has all of his protective instincts kicking in. But none of them are fatherly.
***
Zeke was all-in as soon as he met Trixie even though he wasn’t sure about the age difference. Trixie was all-in but figured Zeke would think she was too young, plus he was so handsome. I liked that Zeke wanted Trixie to be herself and wanted to help her if he could. I loved that Zeke didn’t assume anything when it came to Trixie and let her call the shots. I loved their happy ever after and I recommend reading this book.

Shaw Hart did a great job on Zeke. It was a great story. The plot and characters were strong. The story was written well. From the moment Zeke and Trixie met, there was an instant attraction, they were drawn to one another. The connection they shared was strong and their chemistry was sexy and sweet. They were just great together. Zeke would have done anything for Trixie, she was his world.
I enjoyed their journey.
I’m looking forward to reading more from Shaw Hart.
I’d suggest reading this story.
Thank you, Shaw Hart. Great work 🙂
What happens on campus, stays on campus? Romantic! Zeke, was 36 and contemplating dating. He was lonely since his artists were pairing up. He and Nico were the last single men. Trixie is researching for an art project and decides a tatoo parlor is a perfect example of art from a different perspective. She had heard good things about Eye Candy Ink. She and Zeke are instantly attracted to each other. They don’t declare immediately. They just know they fit. Trixie has a controlling Mother, who picked what she wore and the classes she took. Mom never visited her on Campus. Can Trixe step up and talk to Zeke? Will Zeke overlook the age difference? Will Mom like Zeke? Nice story. I received an ARC from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Nice cover art!

The story line was good, the character work was great, and the book had a smooth flow to it. While I was entertained, there were times that I felt like I was missing something from not having read any of the previous books in this series. I look forward to more from this author.

Zeke is a tall glass of sexy, tatted Viking. He’s the owner of Eye Candy Ink and a father figure to his employees who are like family to him. Zeke’s main focus has always been building up the business and has dedicated all of his time to that. At the ripe old age of 36, he believes he’s never going to find a woman, that is until her. Trixie is breathtakingly beautiful and young. Working on a school art project has her seeking and getting help from the sexy tattoo artist. Their attraction to one another is strong and neither one tries to resist it. Zeke’s protective instincts kick in and he can’t stop himself from loving and taking care of her. For her part, Trixie finds strength in Zeke’s presence and becomes stronger for it. They fall hard and fast for one another and their happily ever after is incredibly sweet. TBR and enjoy.
This older H romance was sweet though it’s instalove. The H, unlike any other instalove, was not steamrolling his way through anything. He did have an instant attraction to h, but he decided to take the “scenic route” and taking his time to actually get to know h; he really put thought on his move and words carefully, while minding how young the h was. And I think it’s sweet. I liked how the H was actually taking the effort to make sure the h knew exactly what she wanted on their relationship and taking charge of her life. It was a cute, sweet and warm and slow-burn story.
My favorite, my favorite, my absolute favorite of the Eye Candy Ink series! Zeke is the father figure of the shop, a total DILF. And watching others in his makeshift family fall in love has him considering his own future. He never expected her to just walk into his shop, young and innocent and bright. Trixie attends a nearby college, as dictated by her domineering mother. But this petite artistic beauty has her little rebellions, namely an art class – which is what brings her into Eye Candy Ink. Zeke and Trixie are immediately smitten with one another. And it is so cute to watch them fumble around, trying to navigate their age difference, the uncertainty of feelings reciprocated, and then just finally go for it! For Zeke, Trixie appeals to his protective instincts, with he longs to nurture her as well. She fits in perfectly with his family of misfits. For Trixie, Zeke is someone who puts her first, gives her love, and shares his family with her. These two fits each other perfectly, sweet and sexy and heart warming. This story is a perfect escape from reality!
I’m excited to read about Nico finding his girl. I know this is a series that I’ll be binge reading over and over again!

I have been waiting on Zeke since we first met him in Atlas! He’s the owner of Eye Candy Ink, very talented and he has taken the guys that work for him under his wing, being that steady in their lives that they needed. When he first sees Trixie in his shop it’s an immediate spark and I loved how hard he was pulled to her. She was sweet and innocent but was living a life that her mother wanted, not her own choices. Their relationship grows, that bond strengthening and a great, quick story. I am looking forward to Nico’s story!
Zeke was such a sweetie, just like I knew he would be! Trixie is the perfect girl for him, sweet and smart. Her love of art and a college project brought her into Eye Candy and Zeke didn’t want to let her go. This couple gave me all so many romantic feels, they were so adorable together. This whole series is now officially going to be on my regular re-read list, I love it sooo much!
Oh Zeke! The oldest of the bunch gets his girl after much deliberation with himself. Being the oldest doesn’t mean he knows what’s best when it comes to love or even how to do it for himself. It’s fun seeing him fall in love at first sight but punishing himself because she is younger. I’m glad it didn’t take him too long to realize age doesn’t matter. I swooned so hard at his protectiveness and I loved seeing Trixie come out of her shell. The story is written so well and flows so well that I didn’t realize I was almost done I got to the end. Now I can’t wait for Nico.
Eye Candy is Zeke’s life. His family, the group of ink artists who work for him. They gather around him like his kids and he is the dad of the group. He’s happy with that until a beautiful petite woman walks in with a college project. Trixie is molding herself into the life her mother wants for her. When she walks in for a project, she sees Zeke and her life changes. This was such a good book. It really was. It made me smile and it was hot too.

By Shaw Hart.
Another awesome installment in this fine series.
Eye Candy Ink by Shaw Hart is one of my favourite book series. Focusing on the talented tattoo artists that make up Eye Candy Ink . This was Zeke’s story the owner of Eye Candy Ink and the pseudo Dad to them all.
Watching his family find love made Zeke think about what he had been missing in his life. His whole world revolved around his business and friends but he knew he was lonely and wanted what the others had in their lives.
In walks Trixie young beautiful and totally knocked him on his butt. She brought out his protective side and he wanted to know everything about her . She was a talented artist but under the thumb of her overbearing mother she had to put that part of her aside and do what her mother wanted her to do and that was business .
Throughout the story you see Trixie blossom from a shy introverted young woman to a confident self assured independent woman who with Zeke’s love and support becomes the one thing she’s always wanted to be . I loved this story and look forward to reading Nico next. Shaw Hart
