Punctured, Bruised, and Barely Tattooed
(2014)(A book in the Tangled Web series)
A novel by Jade C Jamison
Kory McCallister has had her eyes on tattoo artist Stone Bowman for quite some time - so long, in fact, that no other guy will do. Stone pushes every turn on button Kory has - he's tattooed from head to toe; he's hot; he's funny and charming; and he's also mysterious. So when Kory's friends dare her to ask Stone out on a date, she can't believe she actually finds the guts to do it.
More surprising? He takes her up on the offer.
She discovers that, while his past might not be quite as dark or mysterious as she'd imagined, it's bigger than she'd expected, and it's something she will need to contend with if she decides she wants to keep him around to color her life for good.
This book is a companion novel to the Tangled Web Rock Star Romance Series but can be read as a standalone contemporary romance.
What readers have been saying about this steamy new adult romance:
"a beautiful and slow-paced but semi-erotic love story of learning how to let go of a painful past [Jamison's] leading men are always SO alpha male and sexy and such dominant personalities... but with Stone, we have a gorgeously strong and sensual man who is also a very gentle, compassionate lover and while he might have a 'bad boy' appearance on the outside, he is anything BUT on the inside.... this was such an emotional journey of discovery for two people who need that anchor they have been missing in their lives and I recommend this book for romance lovers everywhere who like some edge (and rock and ink) with their love stories." Sue B., Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer
"Stone isn't the typical bad boy, he has the look but he is sweet and caring. Kory's tough, tougher than you'd expect her to be. Them together just works." Shannan, Wicked Reads Review Team
"Jamison has managed to create a plotline that does keep the pace moving along quickly... . She delves deeply into the aftereffects of abuse and what it means to truly be a survivor. It's an emotional journey that's raw, hard, and utterly beautiful." Shannon, Up to Shenanigans Blog
"This is a coming of age story about a young woman with a not so great start in life... . This story is an easy read. I fell in love with Kory and Stone. Highly recommend this book." Wytonya, Summer's Book Blog
"A story of secrets, strength and love, Punctured, Bruised and Barely Tattooed is a steamy New Adult contemporary romance that tells the story of two very scarred people... . once it got going, it sucked me in and left me more than happy with the ending." E.L. Wicker
"Jade is such a gifted writer, she really does succeed in pulling you into the story while delivering some of the most elaborate yet tasteful love scenes I have ever come across. This isn't erotica, it is a real nurtured and sympathetic love story intertwined with a personal step to recovery. Stone is hot ladies! Just the kind of character we have come to expect from Jade and she never fails to deliver." Kelly, Perusing Princesses Blog
"A quick dark romance, which deals with a heroine and hero with troubled pasts." Seanna Y.
