Synopsis
“We’re going to be married in a week. You’re going to be my husband, and we’re going to live happily ever after.” ~Madden

It feels like I’ve been waiting to marry Thane my entire life. And with our big day only a week away, our friends insist on a bachelor party in Vegas.

An outrageous scavenger hunt, an unexpected trip to the altar, and a wild night with an ex-boyfriend. You know we don’t do anything half-assed.

***This is a multi-POV novella with lots of sexy times (including one MF and one MMF scene). Unlike the rest of the Heathens Ink series, this one CANNOT be read as a standalone.

This is shown in some places as being a novella, 145 pages, and others as book #5 in the Heathen's Ink series...but no matter what you consider it, all the characters get to take part.

We get to take a trip to Los Vegas, watch everyone participate in a fun scavenger hunt designed by Royal...so you know that it isn't by any means vanilla...and attend a wedding. The biggest plus is that we get to spend time and visit with all the guys from Heathen's Ink, even Dani., who isn't a guy, but she is still a big part of the gang. If you're familiar with the men from the Heather's Ink series, then this is probably okay to be read as a standalone...but if this is your first visit with them... you will understand the dynamics' better if it is read in order. Even though it's short...it's 5-star worthy.

This is a sexy and sweet catch up with all the Heathens Ink guys as they head to Vegas for Thane and Madden's bachelor weekend.

Each set of guys manages to slope off for some sexy times and there's an amusing scavenger hunt which see Royal trying to steal a centurian's helmet from Caesar's Palace and a Greased Lightning flash mob.

Dani's scene with her old childhood sweetheart did seem a little out of place but I guess anything goes in Vegas and it wasn't beyond the realms that they'd bump into each other.

There's also a bonus of Dani's threesome with Beau and Cas and Liam's first tattoo session with Owen, leaving plot lines open for future books

I loved this novella with POVs from the entire gang at Heathens Ink, set before, during, and after Thane and Madden's wedding.

As always, Royal and his men are standouts, and I also loved all of their antics as they worked on the scavenger hunt.

There's definitely something for everyone here - m/m, m/m/m, m/f, m/m/f, but this one should definitely be read after having read the other books in this series, as it works from everything that series has created.

Un ritrovo a Las Vegas per tutto il gruppo tra scherzi, una caccia al tesoro, fantasmi del passato, tante coccole e un dolcissimo Liam, in una scena bonus, che mette a nudo se stesso come FtM, alle prese con il cuore che palpita per uno dei bei tatuatori.

Leider nur zwei Sterne, da kaum Story vorhanden ist und das Buch gefühlt nur aus Sex besteht. Zum Glück ist es nur ein Zwischenband und ich kann mich auf den nächsten Teil freuen.

This was a nice little bonus for ppl who wanna see more of their favourite couples. It’s not completely pointless since certain couples get married/engaged and you’ll probably wanna read this to find out how.

But this does have some spoilers for Unraveled. So if your planning to read the spin-off series you should probably do that first. I was really looking forward to reading Liam’s story but I guess I’m going to have to put that on pause and read Unraveled next.

I really didn’t like the MF scene in this. I am asexual and mf scenes are really hard for me to handle. Sometimes I do read them though because I love historical romance and there is not a lot of mm historical out there. But it needs to be well done and have a lot of build up leading into it. But this didn’t. We hardly know Dani and we don’t know Jamie at all. It seemed very forced and I skimmed it. When I got to the end and realized there is a mmf bonus scene I just skipped it all together. It’s a bonus scene that happens before the events of this book and we know what happens after so it’s completely pointless and I really didn’t feel the need to read it.

I still really enjoyed seeing our guys again for the most part. And there’s a lot of straight up mm sex that you’re probably hoping for. As well as a fair share of mmm.

> > Judging a Book by its Cover < <
Super cute guy on the cover but the odd grey-marbled streaks in the background are very detracting from the appeal of the model. Font choices are good. Synopsis sounds like an enjoyable way to catch up with the cast.

> > Looking Deeper < <
POV ~> Numerous first-person perspectives.

Wow, talk about a BUSY story! Thane and Maddox are to be married in a week and decided a weekend in Vegas is just what the motley band of friends need. Everyone has a voice in this and no one is excluded.
Find out what crazy antics the Heathens Ink crew get up to in-flight and during their Vegas stay!

What I’d expected from the family. Fun, chaos, declarations and plenty of sex. Short but everyone has a POV. I liked the scavenger hunt list and the bonuses at the end hinting at future couples. A bit of M/M/F and M/F thrown in. I’m hoping somewhere in the series Dani has her own HEA waiting. I liked how she and Owen stuck together as the only singles but I felt sorry for both of them. Looking forward to the next one and more from the guys.

Nicht wie erwartet

Der Klappentext klingt nach einer amüsanten Story, doch leider gab es zu gefühlten 90% nur eine Bettszene nach der anderen.
Ich habe schon etliche Geschichten mit Junggesellenabschieden gelesen, doch noch nie eine, in der die Gäste nur abwechselnd miteinander rumgemacht haben. So liest sich die Geschichte nicht wie eine romantische, gefühlvolle Hochzeit, sondern eher wie ein Porno. Schade, ich hatte mich eigentlich auf ein Wiedersehen mit den Paaren aus dem Heathens Ink gefreut.

Keine Ahnung, was ich mir von der Geschichte erwartet hatte, aber das definitiv nicht. Auch wenn es Spaß gemacht hat, die Jungs wiederzusehen, dieser Band ist für mich eine ziemliche Enttäuschung.

Ich mag die »Heathens Ink«-Reihe, soweit ich sie bisher gelesen habe, aber eine Story, die im Grunde nur aus einander gereihten Sexszenen besteht, ist mir einfach zu wenig. Die geplante Hochzeit von Madden & Thane wird dann am Ende auf ein paar Seiten abgehandelt und anschließend folgt ab etwa 80% ein Bonuskapitel, dass ich nicht mehr gelesen habe, weil ich nach dem ganzen Sex echt keine Lust auf eine weitere Sexszene hatte, dieses Mal mit einem MMF-Pairing.

Zum Schluss gibt es ein weiteres Bonuskapitel, in dem Liam sich von Owen sein erstes Tattoo stechen lässt und das ist ein toller Lichtblick. Hoffentlich bekommen die beiden eine eigene Geschichte. Ich würde es mir wünschen.

Die zwei Sterne gibt es für die Jungs, denn ich mag die Truppe, und für das Bonuskapitel mit Liam & Owen.

Hey hot cover!!

Seriously, I dunno who that's supposed to be, but I'd read it for him alone.
So, in this one... all the guys and Dani go to Vegas for Thane and Madden's bachelor party.
As you can imagine, especially with Royal and Zade.... shenanigan's ensue.
It is HILARIOUS, and sexy and a lot of naked times.
Even Dani got her some, which meh... I could've done without... her story seems complicated
and we get no answers, so... eh. And the mmf is a no-go... I skipped anything that had to do with that, so I can't say anything on that.

We get a surprise wedding and a couple of engagements and finally....a wedding!
I loved it! I cannot wait to get to Liam's HEA, so I'm not gonna dally.
On to the next!

**** This is NOT a stand alone. **** It is an integrating shorter story, that brings all of the "family" together for Madden (on the cover) and Thane's pre-wedding fun times.
* The Heathens Ink group and partners go to Las Vegas for a bachelor's weekend, and the attempt at "mile high" sex is funny. We see the scavenger hunt, huge amounts of sexy times for all of our couples, singles and triads.


We already love this cast of characters from the amazing books in the series, so, it was fun to watch them all relaxing and unwinding. The scavenger list gets checked off, and we can enjoy the banter, sexiness, and more. Great fun !

There is an added chapter on Dani's sexy night, M/F after running into her ex, but I skimmed that. Plus her romp with Beau and Cas, M/M/F, but those I skimmed, too. I like M/M, and M/M/M when I'm reading gay romance.

I highly recommend this for readers of the series. It is a wonderful series with fantastic characters, different and special topics, and the plots move smoothly.
E N J O Y !

You know that book in a series where all the couples get together, either for Christmas, a family gathering, or a wedding? Well, this is that kind of book. And as such, you cannot read it as a standalone (really, don't even try, it will be confusing as hell).

In it, we get to see all the couples together, having fun, being sweet and cute and hot (really hot). The main focus is Thane and Madden's upcoming wedding but the rest of the characters are not far behind and having the chance to know wha's going with the all is really cool. We are also introduced to new characters that will get their own books at some point (yay!).

Overall, I really recommend this series for those who loves, angst, sexy times, friendship and a bunch of hot tattooed guys.

This is a sweet, sexy, hot, and fun Heathen's Ink novella with all the friends in Vegas for Thane and Madden's bachelor party. It is told from multiple points of view so we get to hear from everyone. We get to see progression with the couples and foreshadowing of possible things to come. An enjoyable catch-up with the crew and plenty of awwww moments for all.

Was great catching up with the gang and learning more. My only complaint is I am truly not a Dani fan and this novella proved it more. Looking forward to the new stories coming!!

INKED IN VEGAS is a fun story about the Heathens Ink crew as they celebrate Madden and Thane's upcoming wedding with a bachelor party in Vegas. I've been loving this series so it was great to revisit all the characters and get a few chapters for each couple. There were also a few developments for some of the couples and a surprise blast from the past for Dani. Lots of fun and super sexy!

Cute and silly adventure in Vegas

It was great to see the Heathens Ink crew again. I recommend reading this as soon as you finish book 4 and Inked 1. I had a hard time remembering who was who and kept looking back. They have a zany Vegas adventure and Dani, the only chick of the Heathens crew has a fair amount of sexy times in this book, so I warn you now to expect FM and FMM.

Review to come

Merged review:

Inked in Vegas

**Copy provided to Bayou Book Junkie for my reading pleasure in hopes of an unbiased opinion, a review was not a requirement.**

Inked in Vegas is a book THAT CANNOT BE READ ALONE. Whew, sorry, got that out of my system! But, seriously, it can’t. This is book 5.5 in K.M. Neuhold’s Heathens Ink series. It includes all the characters from the previous five books, and the point of view from most of those characters. This story mostly revolves around a trip to Las Vegas and the shenanigans that ensure, with a sweet wedding ending. Don’t be contrary, read this series in the correct order, you’ll thank me and you’re going to love it!

Going into this book, I knew it was supposed to be about Madden and Thane getting married (they’re book one in the series). But marriages and engagements were everywhere! The book was full of the guys being themselves and seeing how strong their relationship still are. It was also full of the fun that I think of with the Heathens Ink crew. It was full of hot naked times, because it’s written by this author! But! It also had me excited for the future books, yet to come. I am so excited to see what comes for characters Dani, Owen, Liam, Cas and Beau. There’s also the new rockstars introduced in this book that the author assures us will get a story.

If you haven’t read this series, or have fallen behind, jump into it now! It covers heavy topics but it never weighs down the soul with those topics. It has great characters that are fun and easily loveable. And this novella lets us enjoy pure fun and love with the characters. And this may be a novella, but man, did the author pack it full of goodness!

Rating: 5 stars!

old post reposted



Lots and lots and lots of binge-reading in my near future. Let's start with Heathens Ink (and it's spin-off series Inked). All by K.M. Neuhold. The fifth book to read in the Heathens series "Inked In Vegas."
[“We’re going to be married in a week. You’re going to be my husband, and we’re going to live happily ever after.” ~Madden

It feels like I’ve been waiting to marry Thane my entire life. And with our big day only a week away, our friends insist on a bachelor party in Vegas.

An outrageous scavenger hunt, an unexpected trip to the altar, and a wild night with an ex-boyfriend. You know we don’t do anything half-assed."]

This book was a fun couples retreat slash "bachelor's" weekend slash let's-just-get-married-while-we're-here. Aka very sweet (and very steamy). Each man from each of the previous Heathens Ink book (plus a few extra) get's their own POV with their own triumphs and troubles (Madden, Adam, Gage, Owen, Royal, Beck, Thane, Nash, Zade, Dani, and Nox).

This book also came with two bonus chapters: Dani'e Wild Night and Liam's First Ink (both of which are available in "Heathens Ink Shorts and Bonus Scenes" as well).

Oh my goodness gracious I loved getting to revisit all these people!

I have always said that a novella is like an old-fashioned Christmas letter before long distance calling and electronic texting came to be. It was a way to catch up with all your family and friends and find out what’s been happening in their lives. That is what this book was like. Seeing everyone having fun and reaching for their happily ever afters. And like those old letters, there are some fun twists and surprises as we catch up with everyone!

When I was reading and reviewing the Replay series, Lando is getting inked by a tattoo artist, Royal, that was brought in to put the words on him. Royal thanked them for flying him and his partners in to New York. Now I know the story of not only how they met but why he was the one. I think that I need one of those bonus stories of those three in New York. And I wonder if they meet up with Max and Clay!

I have to say...this wonderful and fun-filled book can not be read as a standalone. This was a really special present from the author to her loyal readers! If you haven’t read this you are missing out Heathens Ink fans!

This book was so good. I haven't read all the books in this series yet but I'm familiar with the Heathens crew as they appear in the books I have read. I just love them all. These characters are such a riot and I adore all the couples and characters.

I love how the author did this in multiple POV. It added so much entertainment throughout the story to know how each character was feeling and/or reacting to all the craziness and sexiness this group got themselves into.

It was such a delightful read to see the happiness, growth, and love radiating from these couples. I loved all the surprises along the way, all the sappiness and duh...the best part.....all the sexy times between them.

A great addition to this series and loved the bonus scenes at the end. K.M. Neuhold delivers a fantastic read and I can't wait to see what she has in store next.
