Publisher's summary

From the boardroom to the bedroom, Antonio DeRose is a man who always gets what he wants. And Antonio wants Evie.

Antonio took a risk when he purchased Bloom Tattoo. The studio is a fixer-upper that could pay off in spades...or cost him Thorn, the family’s studio. He knows the key lies in making Evie Stuart, the tattooed sex kitten, head artist. He can see that beyond her beauty, the fiery girl has some serious brains, too.

Evie, on the other hand, is more than happy to continue being a tattoo artist. She likes being free to follow the wild creativity of her imagination without risking the livelihoods of other artists. Because even though Evie can’t stop thinking about his scorching touch, she has no desire to share a boardroom with him.

While pride brings them together it’s their shared desire that has them entangled. At first, Evie thinks that their head banging sex will keep her career change at bay - but when their shared passion begins to bleed over into the business, can either pull away from their love without losing everything? Or will they finally realize that you really can have it all?

Great Narration

Evie is satisfied being a tattoo artist but Antonio believes that she can be so much more with his guidance. Antonio is satisfied with the hot sex and with the way things are going. When Evie makes a decision that he does not agree with. he clicks and dumps her. Antonio must decide what is more important, his pride or his woman. Great Narration.

Excellent, Excellent

I received this audiobook free for an honest review. This story is just as good as the previous stories. Each brother's story is unique. Antonio and Evie's story is hard to put down. And, I couldn't. Loved this story and the narrator did a great job. He captured the characters and their personalities.

Antonio yes, Evie still deciding

I was really excited to finally listen to Antonio's story and he doesn't disappoint, we get to see more behind the businessman. In a way I understand his more reserved attitude since he had to take care of his brothers and create a business for them to thrive in and not worry about finances. I expected a different woman for him, but what can you do? Love is blind. I really wanted to like Evie but I just couldn't connect with her, she behaves childish, some of her decisions were so wrong, then when called on them, she acted hurt. Sometimes sorry is not enough. Some of her redeeming qualities are that she really does try to help Bloom become what it can be, she is a great artist, so is an asset and seems she finally thawed out Antonio's heart. They get their HEA and I love these type of endings.
Mr. Carberry does a great job again, I enjoy listening to his voice. He does male voices really well.

So much Sass!

This is my favorite of the series! I loved Evie and Antonio's relationship. Their chemistry was intense, the banter and humor had me laughing out loud. Although Evie technically worked for Antonio, she had such sass and sparkle and independence. I loved the imagery in this book and could envision so much. The author did a great job painting a picture in my mind. The narrator for this series brought the characters to life and did such a good performance with various emotions. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by Leslie North and E.M. Carberry. Another aspect of this book that made Evie so endearing was her willingness to think outside the box. Seeing her gain confidence was also special.

Great story!

This is the third book in the Thorn Tattoo Studio Series. I love this Series and really enjoyed my listening. I love the story of Antonio and Evie. Antonio is handsome and powerful and Evie is exactly the woman for him. I also like to have news about Giovanni/Riley and Luciano/Melanie in this book. The epilogue is perfect to conclude this story and this Series. I like Leslie North's writing because there is no mistake possible, you always get what you expected, or more. She never disappoints. The narration was great and easy to listen. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Great Story

I have not listened to the other books in this series but I loved this one. Evie is a strong character who has to work through her issues. When she gets her act together she grows and the story "blooms". This was a great story and well developed. The narrator did a great job with the story. The story was a feel-good one for me and I will listen to more of this author's books.

❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

I love Leslie North!! She never disappoints:) this was a great series the narrator is amazing! Super hot and sexy!!

The Series Just Keeps Getting Better and Better

I have such a weakness for series that revolve around tattoo shops and Leslie North does not disappoint with the Thorn Tattoo Series. I can not wait for the next installment. Not only is Leslie amazing, I am becoming a huge fan of E.M. Carberry. He has an absolute talent of bringing both male and female characters to life.
I received this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
