About this listen

From USA Today best-selling author Nikki Ash comes a small town romance about finding love when you least expect it....

Kinsley:

Exposed Ink is my sanctuary, where I can hide behind the needles and ink, shielding my shattered heart from further pain and loss.

Until Shane, a firefighter and single dad, threatens to unravel the carefully constructed walls I’ve built to survive.

First, he saves my life—literally—and then he turns it upside down by making me long for things I can’t have.

He says he wants to get some ink done, but I know he wants something more… something I can’t give him—me.

Shane:

As a firefighter medic, I’m used to fixing physical wounds, but Kinsley’s scars run deeper.

To some, her brokenness might be perceived as a weakness, but I can see the strength buried deep.

With each passing day—and mark to my skin—I find myself falling harder for the striking beauty with the sad eyes.

She’s quickly tattooed herself on my heart, and I’m determined to be the one who shows her that love can heal even the deepest wounds.

Nikki Ash has a gift for writing tragic characters that make the journey (and especially the ending) feel that much sweeter. Kinsley is a heartbroken tattoo artist, weighed down by a painful past she just can’t seem to let go of, despite having the support of her family. Shane, a firefighter medic familiar with loss, is called to treat Kinsley when she suffers a severe allergic reaction. Unable to shake the memory of her, he decides to get his very first tattoo just for the chance to see her again. What follows is a tender, slow-burn story of healing, second chances, and rediscovering love after heartbreak. It's beautifully written and emotionally satisfying. I definitely recommend it! The narrators also did a fantastic job bringing the story to life.

Nikki Ash has outdone herself with this amazing romance novel, a beautiful story that captivates your attention and tugs at your heartstrings like no other. Kinsley suffered a loss that she can not get past and, despite it being three years later, her nightmares are fresh reminders of her loss, the pain and what it cost her. She funnels all her energy into Exposed Ink, her business and her job, a tattoo artist. While out with her friend who convinced her to go, she drinks the wrong drink and had an allergic reaction. With no EpiPen on hand, they called for an ambulance and Shane was one of the firefighter medics who treated her. Shane felt an instant attraction to Kinsley, but she, as she does with any guy, tells him she was not available, except her friend tells him otherwise. She is just not available mentally, not interested in dating or any romantic relationship and not deserving, or so she thinks. Shane senses her brokenness and is not about to give up on her, and he had an important person in her life give him some encouraging words, her father. Shane is a fabulous caring human, who was just what Kinsley needed in her life. He is a single father of an amazing teenage daughter, Taylor, who also clicked with Kinsley, and while Taylor did not know it, she also played a part in helping Kinsley heal and get past her inner demons. I loved all the layers of this story and how it all played out, with the perfect balance of drama, angst, some heartrending moments, heartwarming moments, heartfelt emotions and a slow burn, but so worth the wait romance. As always, the writing, plot and world building are incredible, as are the character growth and development. Nikki Ash, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Lexi Evans and Theo Sinclair were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life, humanizing them and giving each a voice that was fitting and believable. Bother were naturals in their roles, each delivering a spot on portrayal of the characters with Evans aced it as Kinsley, grasping every aspect of her personality, her sorrow, insecurities to her strength and determination, her take on Taylor was fantastic too, with her enthusiastic, sunny and positive demeanor. Sinclair did the same in Shane’s role and was just as amazing as Shane, showcasing all aspects of his personality as well. Setting the right tone for the story, they captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling every single one. These two made a great team, with voices and talent that complemented each other and a captivating performance that keeps you glued to the story. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to.

This was such an emotional and powerful story.
Kinsley is such a strong woman, she has suffered through great heartache, she is still struggling in some ways, but she is still living.
She is such a beautiful soul, sweet, caring, kind, & talented.
Shane is an absolute gem, he is so patient, kind, caring and understanding. He never pushes Kinsley or makes her feel bad for how she feels or reacts.
I absolutely love the understanding, love, & healing that happens for both of them. This was a beautiful story that made me cry and made my heart swoon.

Such a whirlwind of emotions in this story.
I loved every minute of it.

Shane & Kinsley are such a strong couple. Shane is amazing and doesn't give up on Kinsley, although she is "unavailable".

And whom I really love is Taylor, Shanes daughter.
She is so wise for her age.

An amazing story written by Nikki Ash you don't wanna miss.
And the narrators of the audiobook did a great job.

There is just something about Nikki Ash's writing style that I just love. I can't put her books down once I start listening! This one is just so good, it's sticking with me. Not a book hangover, just a feel good feeling. Kinsley has lived through tragedy, never looking for another relationship. When she has an allergic reaction, Shane the paramedic is sent and the story begins. Shane is a single dad of a teen, and when he sees Kinsley for the first time in her allergy ridden, hard to breath state, he knows. He knows he has to get to know her better. Friends first. Take it slow. But as time goes on, Kinsley falls not only for Shane but loves his daughter too. Is she ready for that? Shane is perfect, a wonderful father, attentive boyfriend and lover, but Kinsley just doesn't trust life. I as right there with both of them on this journey. Horrified by what Kinsley has to live with, I could understand her hesitancy. Life is over in an instant. But Shane shows her the opposite. Take life by the horns and live. I loved this story. It's premise is sad, but leads to all the feels and happiness. Another winner!

Lexi Evans and Theo Sinclair had to be the voices in Ash's head as she wrote this gem, as their portrayal fit the characters perfectly. Evans has an easy way with her conversational feel. All the emotions come through with such ease that I felt it all with Kinsley. Sinclair knows how to use the warmth in his voice to create a fabulous boyfriend. He narrowed in on each feeling, pulled it out and made it feel real. Love these two together and enjoyed this listen.

All the feels!

Kensley has suffered heartbreak and she is grieving and living a life but not a full life when she encounters Shane the firefighter who saves her from an allergic reaction. Their connection is instant but Kensley does not want to get involved Shane is not one for giving up and decides to get to know her and they become friends and she also bonds with his teenage daughter Taylor.
