Ink or Treat by Eliza Madison
3.0

A social worker/sexual assault advocate breaks her "one night only" rule with a sexy, kind of Jesus-y, tattoo artist.

Novella length with a Halloween theme and Princess Bride costumes, plus lots of sexy-times, this was a fun read most of the time, but also veered into somber territory regarding why Grace has her one night only rule. I really loved Josh and it was nice to see the hero fall so fast for the heroine and pursue her.

I'll definitely be reading more, but do want to include a content warning about some STD shaming and a kind of trans-phobic joke. In the first scene, Grace is about to hookup with someone but when she takes his pants off she discovers he's wearing essentially a condom that covers everything down below. He's having a herpes flare-up and she reacts badly, which makes sense because he didn't tell her about it before hand, but also veers a bit into okay, lots of people live with this issue so let's not shame them territory. Her friend makes a joke asking if Grace found out he wasn't "a man down there" when Grace is retelling the incident.

Other than that, I overall enjoyed!
