Publisher's summary

Biker and tattoo artist Cade Winters isn't much for weddings or other sappy celebrations. He prefers dive bars, his beloved bike, and fighting at underground clubs; the last of which lands him in the hospital after a sore loser attacks Cade in an alley. However, when his best friend Tommy asked Cade to be his best man, Cade didn't hesitate. Growing up without a family to call his own, Cade would do anything, even attend a wedding, for those he now considers his family. Uncharacteristically dressed up, his tattoos barely covered and shaggy beard neatly groomed, Cade meets Cindy; the maid of honor at Tommy's wedding.

Cindy is the opposite of anything Cade has ever looked for in a woman, yet he finds himself falling helplessly in love with her. Determined to make Cindy his, Cade must not only win her over but also her controlling and disapproving parents, who will stop at nothing to convince their daughter that a shaggy tattoo artist is not the one for her.

I have mixed feelings about this one.

I've been thinking about this review for a while because I'm not really sure how to rate this book.
I really didn't like the narration, the emotion in the story didn't come through, it was just a flat delivery and this made it hard to listen too. The character voices for Cade and Cindy were good but some of the others were not.

The story left me with mixed feelings, at times I was enthralled and at others I wanted to stop listening. A lot happened, perhaps too much, there are several key story lines and perhaps this was to much for the length of the book. At times I felt like I was being read a list, but I'm unsure how much of that feeling was the story and how much was the narration.

Overall it was enjoyable, just listen to the sample before you buy to check how you feel about the narration.

Good story, okay performance

The premise of the story itself was okay, tattoo'd, underground bad boy falls for the good girl...however the narrator fell flat to me. I didn't feel there was emotion behind the readings and throughout the story it felt monotone without any highs and lows. I kept wanting for more and it wasn't there.

Good read. Horrible listen

No real distinction between the characters of the same sex. No real inflection. I would read this again, but not listen too. Also had technical issues with the recording. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

3.5 —TOO MUCH STUFFED INTO A TOO SHORT BOOK

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook through Audiobook Boom at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.

DON'T GET ME WRONG... I did like the book. But seriously, there were two different stories: The stabbed fighter with a revenge kidnapping, and two mutual friends experiencing a disaster that ties Cade and Cindy together. So much potential is lost when all those elements are written into a listen under 5 hours.

Meghan has a downward tone that ends all her sentences. It's OK when narrating female voices but it makes the male characters sound ... um, haughty? maybe? I'd like to see her pair up with a male narrator.

Thumbs Up for imaginative, if not overstuffed, storyline.

a bad boy romance.

Meh, this story was OK. it seemed a little rushed to me. the story line was ok, but some of it seemed a little impractical. Example somebody goes missing and no body is found, but The cops want an alibi for the night before from someone. it just didn't make sense to me. Also I wish it went into more detail about things. But the sex scenes were good :)

the Narrator did a good job. there were a few characters I thought sounded kind funny. But they will not main characters. The other character she did well.

What a book!!!

This is the first book by Amber Burns that I have listened to. I thought that Meghan Kelly added so much to this book. One could feel the emotions in this book. There was heartbreaking moments, soaring hope and happiness, and some humor added in. I was really impressed with this book and its rollercoaster story.

Cade and Cindy

Cade and Cindy's story had some twists and turns I didn't see coming. Both characters were likable, and the story held my attention from beginning to end. Meghan Kelly did a good job bringing this story to life.

Good Read

Inked Passions (A Love Struck Boys Romance) was a good read by Amber Burns. Cade Winters is a biker and tattoo artist who isn't much for weddings and sappy celebrations. He would rather fight in underground clubs, dive bars, and his bike. One night his fight lands him in the hospital when a sore loser attacks him in an alley. Cade becomes the best man for his best friend Tommy. He meets Cindy, the maid of honor, and is attracted to her. She isn't like any other woman he usually falls for but he ends up falling in love with her. I really enjoyed reading Cade and Cindy's story and can't wait to read more by the author.
