Kissin' On My Tattoos
If you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere. That’s exactly what Charity and Daquan are trying to do in this drama-filled love story.
Charity Manfredi is one of the hottest female tattoo artists in the city. She’s loving all the perks of having celebrity clientele to being featured in the hottest magazines. Being married to the owner of King’s Studio starts to have its problems as she struggles with being a wife and a career woman. That is until Daquan Davis starts working at King’s Studio.
Daquan Davis is an up and coming tattoo artist in Brooklyn, trying to make his mark in the industry by opening up his own shop one day. While dealing with his nagging baby mama, it keeps him on edge, but when she goes too far, he has to call it quits. Besides, he has his eye on the boss’s tatted up wife. When an opportunity is presented to Charity and Daquan, nothing will stay the same.
Cory Manfredi is Charity’s husband. Born to one of the wealthiest families in Staten Island, his ego is out of check. All he wants is a wife who stays at home, cooks, and can give him some babies. What happens when he starts spreading the love to someone other than his wife?
Will love, lust, and scandal push Charity into Daquan’s arms?

I loved this book. It was everything I look for in a book. It was a complete novel with drama and happy ending. Great read and perfect name.

Yesss! It was refreshing to read a complete novel & not have to wait for a part 2. I absolutely loved the story line and the characters (even the ones I hated). Great job ladies.

This book was a great mix of betrayal and true love! I am glad they made this a full length because it was just right! Kudos for another great book!

Very good standalone
I'm glad Charity and Daquan hooked up. Cory lying cheating butt had basically been unfaithful to Charity the whole time. And even with her suppose to be friend. Daquan had a good heart, even after went down with him Tavia. He was still willing to help her. Charity and Daquan was living good in the end with a great shop and a beautiful baby boy.

Good story but some holes in character development
I like the premise of the story but there seemed to be so many holes in character development for this to be a standalone novel. For the two main characters, I expected there to be more depth in their story. Also, there were a lot of grammatical errors.

This was a good story
Again I loved the fact that Daquan didn’t let his few hiccups discourage him from pursuing his dream of opening his own tattoo shop.its hard to speak on it without giving up story so I’ll just say ......happy reading

I usually read series because I feel like the characters are better developed but this standalone read very well. I hate that there were so many snakes around charity and am glad that the story ended the way it did.

Omg I loved the book.I wasn't expecting it to be like that but I loved it from the beginning to the end.It had my attention all the way thru.I felt for Dae because he tried so hard with Tavia and she was so ungrateful for wat he was trying to do.And then Corey was trifling as hell I swear I wanted to shot his ass,and his little side piece was so dumb like how you look her in the face everyday after you know wat you did and still doing.Then Charity didn't deserved wat Corey was doing to her at all.Im so glad she did wat she did in Miami.Im loving the way the book ending I'm glad everyone got a good ending I'm sad to see it end but it's a good sad ladies

I adored this book. It was so many secrets and scandalous behavior it had me on the edge of my seat. I immediately fell in love with Charity because she was independent and displayed such realism. I was shocked at all the betrayal. I look forward to reading more from both authors. I highly recommend this book. #PageTurner

A breath of fresh air to read an urban novel what was not about drug deals fighting for turf and being disloyal for a come up. It was totally different from most books and the plus is it's a complete novel. Other authors need to take heed and stop making never ending series.

Very good read!
This book was good! I read it non-stop and enjoyed every minute of it. It was a full novel so that was a plus as well. I'm looking forward to reading more of Niyah and Jahquel's books.

Good read
I really liked the storyline, wished better proof reading was done. There were a lot of grammar and spelling errors. Still a great book.

Lovely
Charry was really naive at first. Corey was just a dog in heat. Daquan finally got his act together. Happy their business is doing great.
