Tattooed Sweetness

I found this book very entertaining, I liked that they didn't jump into a relationship, and they actually formed a friendship first and then proceeded into something more.

I loved Celine, the fact that she was kind, lovely, loyal, hardworking... I loved that she did shopping on discounts, making a grocery list with her family all those simple everyday tasks that an everyday person can relate to. I liked that she didn't change herself to fit in the new crowd, she just appeared and everyone was like 'ok we now love Celine'

After all i was even ok with Bela whose character I didn't like at first, the fact that they overcome their differences later even being friendly with Celine (exchanging recipes, etc)

The one thing I was missing was a little more romance, hence the 4-star rating. They got together in the end and it was too short for me, I would really love to read a bit more of the romantic side before the baby. But all in all, I loved it, and will search for more work by this author!

I read this book was going to be a slow burn, so I prepared myself. These tend to take me longer to get through because of the whole will they, won’t they, and OMG when?? I couldn’t believe how quickly I zipped through this book.

I adored the unlikely pair. The book allowed them to bond and grow a genuine connection. They both helped each other through some heavy situations (like the moments w/ Celine’s absolutely atrocious bf who deserved way worse). But like a previous reviewer said, I wish there had been a bit more romance prior to the ending.

Still, I was left highly satisfied. I adored this book. I really enjoyed the recipes given at the end as well, that was a nice touch. I will definitely take a look at other works by the author. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read another wonderful book.

The chemistry between the two of them is enough to incinerate those who come between them, every remark and interaction only adds to the angst. Great read.

The translation made it a little difficult to read, but I enjoyed the story. It was a fairly quick read. The characters chemistry and life situations made the storyline awesome!

Thank you NetGalley for sending me a copy to review.

This book was an enjoyable quick read, the slow burn romance was just what the doctor ordered.

Good! I’ve been enjoying some romance, but this was a little less to my taste. Even so, the prose was good, and the characters were fleshed out. It was a quick read, nothing too crazy. I’ll recommend for anyone looking around in this genre!

The book is a slow burn. If you cross first ten chapters the you might love it. The hero keeps his feelings hidden for the heroine even though it was very clear that he can't pass a day with her. I just needed more of description as on some chapters I found we reached the conclusion soon.

Philipp - The male character's past was something I didn't expect. I adored the way how he shared everything with Celine.

Celine - The female character is independent and confident woman who will steal your heart.

P.S: I loved the way Kevin proposed Celine that was really romantic for me.

I am hoping to try the Dutch version of this book as I felt the translation didn't to justice.

Phillipp and Celine were the epitome of opposites attract. I enjoyed their development and storyline. Poor Phillipp has had a rough life and he just needed someone like Celine to come along and believe in him, give him comfort and support and be a partner. Great story!

I loved the characters and the plot of the story, I will definitely be reading more from this author.

This was definitely a fun and entertaining read despite it being quite predictable. I thoroughly enjoyed and loved it

BOOK REVIEW


Review for 'Tattooed Sweetness' by Katlyn S. Coen.


Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Katlyn S. Coen.


Publication date 7th December 2022.


This is the the first book I have read by this author but it most certainly won't be my last!!


I was originally drawn to this book by its beautiful eye catching cover and its intriguing synopsis and title.

This novel consists of 31 chapters and an epilogue. The chapters are short to medium in length so easy to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!


This book is based in Mosbach, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany🇩🇪.

This book is written in third person perspective and the main protagonists are Philipp Sandtmann and Celine Lechner. The benefits of third person perspective with multiple protagonists are that it let's you see the bigger picture of what's going on and you get to know more characters more, what they are thinking and what they are doing. It feels like you get to see the whole picture and not miss out in anything.

In 'Tattooed Sweetness' all of the characters are flawed and struggle with their own issues and insecurities. Tattooed Sweetness is about love, loss, and experiencing life in all its facets. It deals with sensitive topics that may be triggering for some readers.

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO KATLYN ON AN ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS ROMANCE.

The storyline is an absolutely perfect example of not only how opposites can attract but how you shouldn't judge a book by its cover or a person by their skin. I was sucked straight into the storyline from the first page to the very last and loved discovering the different areas of Montreal. The setting is gorgeous and I love the fact that Katlyn includes QR codes that you can scan throughout the storyline to help you get an even more vivid picture of what is happening in your head. I found the storyline to be unique and I enjoyed watching the friendship and relationships between the characters develop and change throughout the book. It is filled with romance, tattoos, friendships along with some tension, suspense and abuse. Katlyn has done an amazing job on writing from both Philipp and Celine's characters and I enjoyed discovering what was going on in their minds as well as seeing what they were doing. I enjoyed the fact that the chapters had their own titles related to what was going to happen in that chapter and I also found the translations of some of the different languages used to be very helpful. I absolutely adored the last chapter 'What Really Happened' as I always love discovering where authors get their ideas for their storylines from and the fact that this one came from a chance meeting of a couple who were the complete opposite is fantastic. Although this book is advertised as a slow burn I found the storyline itself to be fast paced and I absolutely flew through it in a day and still wanted more. I started it in the afternoon and I just could not put it down until I finished at 2am so I completely blame you Katlyn for the bags under my eyes!!! It is absolutely gripping and will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions from happy to sad, angry to filled with a bubbly feeling. I loved the tattoo aspect of the book being a huge tattoo fan myself. I am the type of person when wearing a long sleeve top and trousers nobody can tell I am inked but in shorts and a T-shirt you can see I am covered which always seems to surprise people. I absolutely adored the ending which was absolutely perfect. I was shocked when Philipp's past was revealed and then shocked again when his father revealed his secret. It does annoy me though how he could protect Konstantin but was an awful father to Philipp. I loved the fact that Katlyn included the recipes for Celine's Pide-Pizza and Philipp's Jalapeno Pimento Cheese Sandwiches at the end which I thought was a nice addition and not something you come across much. I would have liked to know more about what happened to Kevin and the gang that came to the tattoo parlour but not every book is ended with a perfect ribbon and I didn't think it affected the storyline. I also want to point out that this book was translated to English and I think that the translator did a fantastic job!

I was not a fan of Philipp at all when I first met him and found him to be obnoxious, full of himself and to put it bluntly just up his own butt. My first impressions of Celine were of a hard working, sweet woman who unfortunately could not see her scummy boyfriend for the using piece of crud that he was. I absolutely could not stand Kevin from the start and the way he treated Celine made me sick. I mean what sort of loser gets jealous of a character in a book for crying out loud? Philipp, however, started to grow on me and as we started seeing his softer side I started liking him more and more. I loved Celine's friend Pauline and thought that she was a great friend for her and excellent support. She was full of life and laughter and she is the type of friend everybody needs. I thought Bella, Philipp's girlfriend at the start iof the book, was a bit desperate and clingy as well as being extremely jealous. However, Bella also grew on me as I continued through the storyline and it was nice to see a friendship develop[ between her and Bella. I absolutely adored Celine's Aunt Mareike and her "partner" Horst who were both larger than life characters and absolutely brilliant support network for Celine. regardless whether you love or hate the characters they all work perfectly together in this sexy page turning romance.

Well done Katlyn on an absolutely fantastic page turner. I am looking forward to reading more of your books! Here is to your next success!!

My first and not last story by Katlyn S. Coen. I love slow burn stories and this definitely was a slow burn. I really enjoyed the story and the plot. The cast of characters grew on me and I loved getting to know them.

This story was not what I expected but I liked. The slow burn is one of my favorite tropes and this was really slow, I feel like there was not much romance. I did like that the character kept his feelings from her.

This checked off everything I look for in a book. Was not disappointed. Really enjoyed this book. I will read more from this author. Must read

So im not really a fan of third person writing so that threw me off a bit. But overall was a nice romance with underlying "lessons". The plot was super nice and well writen. The characters were soo amazing to follow actually. It was nice to see their development.

Beautifully written, compelling and thought provoking, I was drawn by the cover and blurb, not one I would normally read but I’m glad I did, im recommending this.

This is a good book. The two main characters are Celine and Philipp. Celine works for a company that helps small businesses. Philipp is a tattoo shop owner, who is looking to expand his business. Celine helps him figure out his finances to expand his business. There is an instant attraction. They each have their issues but together they work them out and fall in love.

The writing in this book was phenomenal. I would never believe this was the author's debut novel. The writing style has such a perfect flow with a great combination of dialogue and internal monologues. I also loved the way the plot unfolded, Beautifully written with good characters and dialogue. It's a very detailed book with interwoven characters with good character development. The driving force behind this though is the story, it moves effortlessly and is so engaging

This was a pretty good book. I think it could've used more character and world building but it was good for a quick and easy romance read.

I just finished Tattooed Sweetness by Katlyn S. Coen, and let me tell you, it's like a breath of fresh air in the romance genre!

First things first, the characters? They're absolutely lovable. Coen has created such vibrant, relatable characters that you can't help but root for them. And the chemistry between the main characters? Sparks fly left and right! It's the romance that keeps you flipping pages late into the night.

Now, let's talk about the setting. Coen's descriptions are so vivid that you'll feel in the quaint little town with the characters. It's the perfect backdrop for a heartwarming love story.

But what sets this book apart is the emotional depth. Coen doesn't shy away from tackling tough topics like loss and forgiveness, but she does so with grace and sensitivity that only adds to the richness of the story.

And can we talk about the romance? It's sweet, steamy, and everything you could want in a love story. Coen knows how to flutter your heart, from tender moments to passionate embraces.

Now, fair warning: this book isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Some moments of heartache and conflict will have you reaching for the tissues. Isn't that what makes a romance so satisfying?

Overall, 'Tattooed Sweetness' is a delightful read that'll leave you with a smile and warmth. So grab a copy, curl up with a cozy blanket, and get ready to fall in love!
