Why I picked up this book:

INKurable is the third book in the INKomplete series. You can read my reviews of INKarnate and INKapable here, both excellent little novellas for a rainy afternoon read. I received a free copy of this story from Pen and Kink Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

This review may contain spoilers.

INKurable (INKomplete #3)
	Phee has breast cancer. As heart-breaking as it is, she’s determined to be strong so her friends don’t worry. They’re a family, so if she hurts, they hurt, and she can’t allow that. But when lines start to blur between her and her handsome surgeon, trying to hold everything together suddenly feels like the real fight.

   

What I loved:

I really liked Pete’s struggle and would have loved to see more of his character. The few glimpses we got showed us a man who had a history with Phee and battled between reconnecting with a lost love and keeping their relationship professional. This tension had the chance to cause a deeper connection and rift between the characters, and I would have loved to see more of him.

I love that Joe was so present in this tale. After getting to know her in INKapable, this story showed her going beyond motherhood into the sister and friend role. You can tell that Joe reads her friend well and knows when just be present and when to step away and let her be.

Areas needing a touch of refinement:

This book really stepped away from the sexual tension and focused more on Phee and her journey with cancer. While the struggle was real and authentic, it meant that her screen time opposite Pete felt like a secondary storyline. I would have loved more of Pete and Phee to really flesh out their history and his desire for her, and to put Phee’s struggle with cancer more as the secondary line. I get that for people who are in this fight, it becomes the waking moment of every part of their world, and we really felt that. But for a romantic tale this short, I personally wanted more of Pete and the sexual tension between the two characters.

Overall:

Once again this is a cute rainy day read. One thing to note for readers, this tale steps a tiny bit away from the kink found in the first two tales. It’s still present, but the romance and sex have a stronger core focus on reforging a relationship. Overall I enjoyed this one and it was great to see hints of progression with the other characters in the story.
