Permanent Ink

Art and Soul, Book 1

By: Piper Vaughn, Avon Gale

Narrated by: Kirt Graves

At 23, Poe Montgomery is going nowhere. He still lives in his father’s basement and spends most of his time tagging with his friends. When an arrest lands him in debt, Poe accepts the front desk job at Permanent Ink, the tattoo shop owned by his father’s best friend, Jericho McAslan. Jericho is nearly twice Poe’s age, but with his ink and prematurely graying hair, he quickly takes the starring role in Poe’s hottest fantasies.

Jericho is known for his ability to transform poorly designed tattoos into works of art, but he was once as aimless and misdirected as Poe. Wanting to pay it forward the way someone once did for him, Jericho makes Poe his apprentice and is determined to keep things strictly professional. Easier said than done when Poe makes his interest - and his daddy kink - abundantly clear.

Jericho can’t resist Poe or their intense chemistry for long. But between the age gap, tension with Poe’s father, and Poe’s best friend calling him a sellout, they’ll need to ensure they’re both on the same page before they can rewrite their rocky start into something permanent.

Great read

Poe and Jericho were both lovely complex characters. Each grew and changed because of their relationship. The plot and relationship developed believably. Kirt brought the whole thing to life beautifully. Throughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Really good story

Permanent ink is about a troubled boy name Poe. He still lives at home with his dad. His dad has had to bail him out of jail because of his behavior. His fathers best friend Jericho owns a tattoo shop, and is willing to give Poe a job. Jericho is a lot older then Poe, but sparks fly anyway. Permanent ink was very well written, and I can’t wait to read more books by both authors . As for the narrator, he did a good job, I just wasn’t crazy about him

Perfect Daddy kink!!!

I love this story! Perfect daddy kink! The narrator is sooo good at expressing the best of this world!!

Loved it!!!

This was my first read by these authors and did I LOVE it!! First let me say Kirt Graves thank you for your narration. You were fantastic!! I could feel the emotions of the characters you portrayed. As I was reading this I was thinking I wish this was a movie with you as the main character. So thank you for bringing these characters to life!!

I felt for Poe. He had so many internal struggles he was battling. He was such a mess at the beginning but after meeting Jericho he became a whole new person. Poe’s love for his street art was beautiful but to see the change in him to find something new was even more beautiful. I loved Jericho’s take no crap attitude and even when Poe was acting like a spoiled child he didn’t give up on him. The building of their love was beautiful as well.

Thank you for these beautiful characters and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Great!

I loved this story. Poe and Jericho had an unusual relationship, since Jericho was Poe's boss and also his father's best friend. There were moments that I felt that Poe was acting too immature or that Jericho was acting too fatherly, but the characters felt this way themselves and corrected their attitudes. The daddy kink was fun, and the information about tagging and tattooing were fascinating to me. I wanted to slap Poe's friend Blue then hug him. I really liked Poe and Jericho, and the authors made sure I understood them. I felt that the major secondary characters were well also well developed. I hope to see book 2 sometime soon!
The narrator's performance was excellent. I've listened to him before and will happily do so again.
