Ink

Title: Ink

Ink is another addition to the Hayliver series developed by author bullets are hailing. This one follows the night of Oli and Hayley’s engagement and focuses on something very special that the two of them share: tattoos. Of course, anyone who knows Oli Sykes knows that a lot of attention is drawn to the numerous artwork that spreads down from his face to his legs, but less attention is paid Hayley despite having her own artwork. Luckily, Oli is not one to let Hayley be forgotten—ever—and sits and tells her which of her tattoos are his favorite and why.

As per usual, the story is simple yet elegant, touching on the milestones the couple have shared in a unique way—by using Hayley’s tattoos as a catalyst for their shared memories. Each memory is an important stepping stone in their relationship and shows how they have developed not only as individuals but as a couple. It even follows a nice, circular path that begins with Oli marveling over the fact that Hayley is now his fiancée and ending with him picturing his future with the woman who will soon become his wife.

What bullets are hailing. can do is extremely unique; she takes something as simple as a shared moment between two people who love one another and use it to explore their relationship together. She takes a simple moment of admiring a woman’s various tattoos and uses it to show the love the two have for one another, a love that has transcended the boundaries and obstacles between them so that, even as the years pass by and they find themselves separated by forces beyond their control, they will never cease loving one another and growing closer even as the distance expands and shrinks. Anyone looking for sweet romance between two loving people should look no farther than Ink.
