Stick and Poke by Flora Madison

The Tattoo Artist and The Shy Curvy Girl

Mollie:
I prefer books to bars, and it’s never been a problem.
Until, my fiancé broke up with me for being too boring.
He actually said that.
After a few glasses of rosé and a tear-stained pity party,
My best friend dares me to redeem myself,
By getting my first tattoo at the shop, Stick and Poke, right down the street.
I was expecting to be nervous. I was expecting to be in pain.
What I wasn’t expecting was to melt for hulking tattoo artist, Reed Fallon.
But with an exciting life like his,
He’d never go for a “boring” girl like me.
Right?

Reed:
The curvy goddess walks in front of my tattoo shop at the same time, every day.
I always make it a point to be up front so I don’t miss her.
She’s never stopped in; she’s never even looked in my direction.
But I see her.
The fast life of a tattoo artist is wearing me down.
I’m done with party girl groupies.
I want a real woman who I can depend on.
And something tells me that my mystery dream girl is a great candidate.
Except that when she finally comes into my shop,
She’s nothing like I expected.
