About this listen

I don’t have the best history with older men.

When Mateo saw my last relationship implode, he was there to help. He saved me. Hopefully, self-defense lessons will keep me from getting hit again.

I can’t ask for more of my friend. Even dreaming of keeping him is wrong. But when my ex makes things difficult, Mateo steps up again.

I don’t want a protector, but maybe, it’s time to accept a little help. For the first time in my life, I want something real.

What will it cost to keep the man I’m falling for?

Bryan needs a protector. Those rich old guys that chase after him aren’t the answer. All I want is to keep him safe.

I want to watch him grow into the strong man I know he can be. Falling for him wasn’t the plan. But now that I’ve had a taste, I can’t let him go.

Sparks and ink fly in Hard Ink, a 60,000-word stand-alone m/m workplace romance between a tattoo artist and teacher Mateo and his student and co-worker Bryan.

Fantastic addition to the series and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Bryan and Mateo had a beautiful connection and I enjoyed watching them slowly come together.

The narrator did a fabulous job bringing the characters to life. His performance was exceptional and flawless.

Fantastic addition to the series!

Great story from Bryan and Mateo.

Mateo ex juvie but now working as a top tattoo artist with a TV deal. Part time college tutor.

Great book with twist and hardships, a very well written book which I have enjoyed greatly. Will look for more in the series.

This is my first narration by Connor Brown and I have to say how good, will look out for more by him.

Two men at different stages in life, coming from similar backgrounds and are slightly bent out of shape by life but not broken by it are the main focus in this book. They find true trust, understanding, passion and ultimately love together. Mateo and Bryan have their fair share of bumps and bruises along the way but realise that they are stronger together than apart.

This is a series that captivates you from the start and hold your attention right the way through each book, listening to Connor Brown’s voice is so good, has has colourful yet relatable characters and I am really looking forward to what comes next.

So good

I loved Mateo and Bryan. Opposites but similar, caring and protective. This two have sparks from the start and while they each have there our issues and hurt they really do make each other better and grow and teal while supporting and caring for each other equally. I couldn't even free the age gap. I felt like Bryan grow in leaps and bounds in this story and while I feel he was wronged at one part I liked his growth and maturity. these two are great together and I loved visiting with the Get Inked crew ❤️❤️❤️

I loved these two!

Another great addition to the series by Ali Lyda. Mateo and Bryan are fantastic characters to get to know. Connor Brown did a super job with the narration. Can not wait for the next story to be available on Audible.
