About this listen

He’s way too young and he works for me...so why can’t I stay away?

Regan

I had no trouble saying no to Channing when he left for college two years ago. I’m two-and-a-half decades older than him, and he was just a kid.

But he’s all man now, and it’s hard to stay away. Especially when he takes a job at my tattoo shop for the summer. He’s got his whole life ahead of him. I can’t let him waste it on me.

Channing

I’m not letting Regan go this time.

I’m about to turn 21, but the only thing I want a drink of is Regan, the hot tattoo shop owner who’s my boss for the summer.

I can see desire in his eyes when I catch him looking at me. And I know my place is right beside him. Nothing has ever felt more right than sleeping in his arms.

But how can we make it work when I’m heading back to school once summer is over?

Old Ink is a M/M romance that gives you a scorching May/December romance between a young man figuring out his place in the world and a seasoned tattoo artist who knows a thing or two about love and heartbreak.

I have always enjoyed these books and this one was shaping up to be a favourite, as I like age gap stories. Things were ticking over as I was expecting with Reagan having hangups about the age difference between him and Channing, then drama and angst hit and Reagan becomes whiny for a couple of chapters, which I found changed the whole feel of the book, although the drama was necessary, Reagan could have as an adult handled it better than he did.

The writing as always is very good, as was the character development, Listening to Connor bring them to life was great. I am really looking forward to the next in the series.

Reegan and Channing’s story is my absolute favourite in the series, followed very closely by Dane and Chris.

Channing and Reegan had explosive chemistry: it was intoxicating, thick and smoking hot.

There were moments I was really disappointed in Reegan’s behaviour but I’m glad he came through for Channing in the end.

Dane, as usual, made me laugh. The rest of the crew made me smile with their bets and eagle ears, waiting to see what would happen between Channing and Reegan.

Narrator’s performance throughout was fantastic.

Age differences are excellent and I loved the dynamic between these two especially. I have been waiting for this one for what feels like forever and it was an awesome read!

Reagan, it seemed, was the one who had the growing up to do that Reagan began this story thinking but Channing was so strong and confident. I loved how he stood up for himself and stood his ground.

This story screams about the difference between age and maturity and Lyda presented that in an excellent way.

I’m really excited for the next in the series, what a way to leave us all hanging 😂 but we love it!

The narrator Connor Brown did an excellent job with this piece! I’m looking forward to more from him. I loved the way he voiced all the characters so individually, brought passion to the story’s ups and downs.

Looking forward to more!

Old Ink is the third book in the Get Ink’d series, and although I strongly recommend reading the first two books before starting this book, Old Ink can still stand on its own. I just think the story is so much more enjoyable to know the history of the characters and to see where they’ve come from.

Channing is such a remarkable character and I’m so proud of the amount of growth he’s done. Regan was a fascinating character, and the author did a great job of mixing his strength, dominance, and experience with his vulnerability, flaws, and ignorance. These two men had to work together, while also doing their own self-reflection, before they could truly commit whole-heartedly to their relationship. This character maturity made for a great story. Plus, the sex scenes were super hot and ranged from sweet and vanilla to steamy kink.

The audiobook was narrated by Connor Brown who did a fantatastic job. He kept his character voices consistent and put a lot of energy into his performance without overdoing it and overperforming. I thought the audiobook production was also well done and really enjoyed listening to the book.

A Really Enjoyable Age Gap Romance

I had not read or listened to the first two books in this series, but that did not hamper my enjoyment of this one (although it did make me want to hear more about Channing's story before he left for college.) I usually don't like age gap stories, because it often seems like the relationship is too uneven with the younger man at a disadvantage with a need to be taken care of. But here, Channing is at least as smart and capable and mature as Reagan, and I loved that he knew what he wanted. That said, I loved the way Reagan showed his cards (that he wanted Channing) when he intervened with the rich chump, Trevor (guess we'll see more of Trevor in the next book, though). The themes and relationships in this book were great, including between Channing and Reagan, Channing's brother and his husband (Dean), Channing and his brother, Channing and Dean, and all the guys at the shop. I just loved all the relationships and how they supported each other. Down to the last character, they are well-developed and easy to love. Communication is key in this story, and I hurt with Channing every time Reagan unintentionally hurt him. I was so glad when Reagan finally figured himself out and decided what he wanted. Oh, and this story is sexy, too. So seriously hot between Channing and Reagan!


The narration was good. I thought the delivery and pacing were perfect.
