Fantastic! Loved it!
This is a great book from a new to me author. Usually, I don’t really try many new things without a recommendation but came across this, it sounded interesting and like something I’d enjoy so I decided to give it a chance. Very very glad I did!
Firstly hot inked men, yes, please. Secondly, family connections-one of my favorite things. I absolutely love series about families whether by blood or brotherhood. Thirdly, more sexy men-in uniform and a slightly geeky writer. It’s like the author set out to hook me-probably not, but it worked anyway!
I really liked Heath & Ned’s connection and how they worked together. There wasn’t as much naughty time as some but it fit the story and the chemistry and passion was there regardless. They worked out their conflict towards the end maybe not ideally but realistically.
Overall a well done, engaging book. Loving and sexy. some serious moments but plenty of lighter moments and of course gotta have sarcasm and teasing when you’ve got families involved. Loved meeting all the characters and I will be looking forward to more. Wonder who is next!

From Book 2:
Flynn Murphy doesn’t need a man, especially not the cocky and confident Derek Nice. So what if Derek is a cop? Flynn learned a long time ago that just because someone is supposed to do the right thing doesn’t mean he will. Trusting someone is a mistake he’s never repeating again.
Derek isn’t worried that Flynn isn’t letting him get close yet. All Derek needs is one chance to show Flynn how good they can be together. And he’s not stopping until he gets it.
From Book 3:
Cooper Mitchell isn’t what most men expect. Most men see his silver hair and dressed up dog and assume he’s a sassy little bottom. Cooper may be sassy, but he’s nobody’s bottom boy. That’s just fine with Roger Nice. All it takes is one look and Roger knows Cooper is everything he wants, but can Cooper be the type of Dom he needs? Or are there some things that are just too much to ask? Roger doesn’t think so, at least he hopes not, but will Cooper agree?

Everyone else can fall in love and live happily ever after, but Xavier Owens doesn’t plan on doing the same. With a successful business, plenty of friends, and no shortage of willing bed partners, he always thought he had everything he needed. The only thing missing in his life is someone to share his kink, but that’s not going to happen. The last time Xavier let someone into that part of his life left him with a bruised ego and a broken heart. While both have long since mended, he’s not interested in falling in love again. Fate has other plans in the form of sweet and shy Oliver Nice. There’s something about the man that draws Xavier to him like a moth to a flame. Hopefully, this time he won’t get burned.

Kiel Nice feels the same. Why settle for one man when the sexy firefighter can have any man he wants?
Fate, and their friends and family, have other plans for these two. There’s only so many times they can be thrown together before the chemistry between them becomes too much to ignore. And maybe just maybe the thing they’ve always been most afraid of? Maybe this could work.

This book was so good! Loved Heath and Ned and all the characters that were introduced! Can’t wait to see what happens in the next book! The author did an excellent job!

Going insane
I’m loving these Nice men and their journey to love. I was happy to read Derek’s story but the one I’m truly interested in is Ollie’s story and Xavier. This book was the same as the first one. Just as funny, just as entertaining and just as cute.
From Book 3:
Raelyn Grasso
Loved from start to finish
There is not one thing I didn’t love about this book. I’ve gone back to it 4 times already. Funny, sweet, and sexy from start to finish. A total win! Can’t wait for Games We Play!!!
From Book 4:
Awww this book!
I love all the Nice brothers but I had a special place for Oliver. He was the nerd, who wrote books and was super quiet and kept a secret from his brothers. He just pulled at me. X is the big and bad tattoo artist! I love the arguments over songs, all the t-shirts I want to own, between the brothers and the artists, and i love the rapport they have! They all give each other a hard time out of love. I love Oliver’s parents and how obsessed his dad is with a tattoo and how his mom is just on top of things with him. Like all their relationships are so unique, X and Ollie, his parents, X with the shop, and the Nice Brothers I love them all! I cant wait for the next story!!

Great finale to the Nice Ink series (though the author hinted that X’s little brother Bailey would get his own story). Damien was sweet and Kiel was irresistible. :). All the guys from the previous stories were there, including the irrepressible Cooper and growly X. Loved it!

The best of the five Nice Ink books! A must read. Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2020
Another great book from Trish Edmisten! If you’ve read the other Nice Ink books you’ve been patiently waiting for Damien and Kiel to get their own happy ending! I think this one ended up being my favorite of the series! After reading some teasers and knowing what we know about the characters from previous books, I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy this one as much. BOY WAS I WRONG! Kiel and Damien’s friendship/eventual love story was perfect and sweet and everything that each of them needed. They’re soul mates who just needed time and space to find each other. Trish Edmisten is an author who I will read ANYTHING and EVERYTHING she publishes and she never disappoints. OKAY! Time to reread the series now

So hot and so worth it!!
I have been waiting for X and Oliver and this book did not disappoint. From the first page I was hooked, the promise of porn dancing, the Daddy kink, Trish gave me exactly what I needed. This book was so hot, X was just what Oliver needed to keep him grounded and blow his mind (and other things). I loved the steam, but there was also emotion that totally gave me the feels. I will read this book over and over again. A definite keeper!

Roger and Cooper
I love love love this series!!!! Roger or Gerry has met his match in Cooper. Cooper is wonderful with all his tattoos, his piercings (wink wink) and Prince Harry! There is nothing like a big man with a little dog! I love the music choices based on whose day it is, the brothers group chats, the phone calls with the parents, and the funny tshirts. There is so much good stuff in this book. Roger is such a Nice guy and I loved him. Even his secret!! I almost cried in this book and when you get to that scene you’ll know but damn! Still good though! I love the Nice quints and the men they fall for. Cant wait for book 4!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟5 Never Give Up Stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Ride or Die is the second book in this series and gives us Flynn and Derek’s intense romance hinted at in book one. Flynn has had it rough growing up and Derek is very patient with him, knowing something bad happened to cause the huge walls Flynn throws up to Derek. But Derek knows if he can break those walls down, he and Flynn can find something special. This is a slow burn but once it gets ignited, watch out for the flames! I can’t wait for the next story in this series!

Couldn’t Put it Down!
It’s been quite some time since I read a M/M romance novel, and believe me, this is a page-turner. From the first chapter I was hooked, and I more than happy to see what the next books in the Nice Ink series has to offer!

Exactly what I was hoping for!
I have read (and loved) each of the previous Nice Ink books, and this was no exception. I wasn’t sure what X and Oliver’s story would involve, and I wasn’t expecting some of the twists in the book, but they just made the story even better. The simple joy of the characters in each other was heartwarming especially in these uncertain times. I received an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.
