Description:
When Tara’s best friend Jordan is left humiliated and heartbroken, Tara refuses to sit back and let it slide. With a plan fueled by righteous anger, the bubblegum-chewing tattoo artist decides to deliver a little payback. Nothing too extreme—just a scare, a bruised ego, and a forced apology. A twisted but well-meaning gift to help Jordan move on.
Unfortunately, Tara’s carefully plotted revenge spirals the moment she realizes the truth: she’s taken the wrong man.
Now she’s left with a dangerous problem—one that can’t simply be dropped back on the street and forgotten. As panic sets in, Tara weighs her options, each worse than the last because some mistakes don’t just disappear. They come back.
When the man she kidnapped walks straight into her tattoo shop days later, Tara learns exactly how bad things can get. He isn’t just some random guy. He’s the son of a powerful Irish crime boss.
What started as a reckless act of loyalty becomes a game of unhinged consequences, secrets, and emotions.

ARC Review
Bubblegum Alibis by Martha Sweeney is the first book in the Tattooed Daisy series.
When Tara's friend Jordan is left heartbroken by the man she was seeing, Tara decides to get revenge for her. She plans to kidnap the guy and teach him a lesson. And, to a certain point, she succeeds. The only problem is that she takes the wrong man.
Kennon Reid is part of a very important Irish family and, as it turns out, is the brother of the idiot who broke Jordan's heart. This mistake is about to open up a whole new world that Tara has never seen before.
Kennon is immediately smitten with Tara, but Tara is like a wounded animal who has never really felt love. Could he show her what he feels for her, and could Tara learn to reciprocate those feelings?
This was a dark romantic comedy with a mafia MMC and a quirky, feisty FMC. The story is told in dual POV and is mostly entertaining, with a bit of suspense mixed in. There is quite a lot of profanity and a few sentimental moments that add some emotion to the story.
The characters are amazing and so different from each other. Kennon is a man who goes after what he wants in true mafia style, but he also has a romantic side. Tara is a woman who would fight for the people she loves, but she is also easily scared and tends to run away.
I loved how everyone seemed to like Tara immediately and genuinely cared about her. My favorite part was when she fought the bad guys. It showed another side of her and was one of the most entertaining moments for me.
If you like entertaining dark romantic comedies with mafia characters, quirky personalities, suspense, and romance, this one is for you.
