The plot involves a lot of assumptions being made about the other man and not a lot of communicating going on. Each man has insecurities that prevent them from acknowledging their feelings for each other. The first half of this book involves the very slow burn between Gordo and Javi.

I saw that it held one of my favorite plots: single parent, and decided to ask for it. I was offered the opportunity to request a free review copy of this audiobook. 'Daddy Ink', the first installment in the 'Get Ink'd' series, is a romance between Gordo, a recently divorced father of an infant daughter and Javi, a talented tattoo artist. 😑 ** thanks to GRR for the opportunity to listen and review** And it made me cringe every time he says Giuriana. but I struggled understanding a lot of the words he was saying, I had to scan the ebook to figure out what it was. My only issue was his accent, I realize it’s to establish the character’s local diction. He did great in establishing voices for each characters. This is my first book that is a Jack Maguire narration. I was thrilled when they finally got their HEA. As much as it was very slow paced, I enjoyed how their relationship progressed. All the insecurities and nervous energy of being a first time parent, it made him always on edge. He has a big heart and apparently, quite the artist. Javi was a wonderful character, even if riddled with a lot of self esteem issues. Understandably so, since both MCs are working through their own issues. This one felt longer than it should have been. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. In this first in series, ambitious single dad Gordo has met his match in heavily inked Javi, and sparks are ready to fly. They’re a family born of love, loss, and ink.

But Gordo doesn’t seem fazed by my speech problems or the mess in my head, and soon we’re forming a deep connection. Talking has never come easy to me - and I mean that literally.
