I can’t rave enough about this book so I’ll just keep it short and sweet. As a Montreal native, this book spoke to me on ALL the levels. It felt like I was walking around The Plateau, I could smell the poutine and that very distinct air only Montreal has. The sexual tension between Lexi and JM was palpable. I love the authors first series, but this book is a shining star! So well written. It could have been a disastrous endeavor to incorporate so much of the french language into the book, but Ms. London pulled it off with such subtlety, it’s hard to critique! And the glossary of terms at the front? LOVE. I sincerely hope to read more from this author as she is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorites!
This is a new author for me,,,,, I enjoyed her writing,,,,
Alexis Reynolds, or Lex as people call her ,,,, her parents, Lawrence and Marjorie raised her and her older brother, Logan in Toronto,,, they raised their son to take over in the family business ,,,, dad is a founding member of Reynolds and Cunningham,,,, but Logan doesnt want to be a lawyer and takes off to parts unknown, as they want Lex to marry Jason, her boyfriend of 4 years, but when alone with Lex,,, he was a cruel man,,, and one day, she’s had enough, packs everything, cancels her wedding and moves to Montreal to stay with her friend, Angela Tilman,,,,
JM is a tattoo artist who owns his own shop in Montreal, his real name is Jean-Marc,,,, he is a big muscular man who rides his motorcycle,,, he has tats that run all over his chest and up his neck,,, he has friends all over Montreal ,,,,
Lex is free at last but Jason keeps texting and calling wanting to know when she’ll be back because they have their wedding coming up, and her mom is also on her case, she would really hate to see JM as he has tats and her mother thinks marking the flesh is so wrong,,, ,,., but, Lex keeps telling them she is not coming home and she has broken up with Jason,,,, it even comes between JM and Lex as he thinks she’s married,,,,

An amazing book by Cassidy London! It had me hooked from the beginning – the story grabbed my attention and did not let go. I was so captivated I read it in one sitting. The story kept me on the edge of my seat! It’s full of drama, humour, ups and downs, and hotness! The characters are deep, perfect, funny and a little bit broken. The book is well-written and emotionally deep with well-developed ideas and could not have been better in my opinion.

I absolutely loved this story!!!! This is a well written story that is also a fairly quick bu addicting read. It is hot and steamy with a load of drama. I loved Lexi and Jean-Marc’s story! I felt for Lexi she had really bad parents and even worse ex! I loved the whole enemies to lovers thing between Lexi and JM!! I was waiting for them to snap and the passion to finally ignite! The only thing that drove me crazy was Alexis getting into weak slumps of week long depression and feeling sorry for herself. I just wanted to yank her up and say get over it. Life is not a walk in the park and it can certain deal you bad cards even in the family department. After all you can choose your friends but unfortunately you cannot chose your family or who births you. I LOVED JM!!! What a bad boy with an incredible heart of gold!! The chemistry between these is great!!! There relationship is all fire and passion!
Lexi is through following the rules of being a good girl for her parents. After all it was only going to give her a carbon copy of her mother’s life something she did not want so she did the only thing a girl could do. She reinvented herself and told her fiancé and parents the wedding was off and she was moving out of Toronto. On the road she almost wiped out a biker and a trucker. Jean-Marc could not believe the crazy woman and her ravings had almost taken him out but she did captivate him with her beauty. They meet again at her friends place and Lexi is determined to stay away from the man but the more they avoid the deeper the feelings are when they are finally in the presence of the other. They both have commitment issues but can these two tortured souls heal the other for a life time of happiness together?

What a great story between two very different ppl,one a bad arse tat artist and an upright girl trying to find her own way. When life gets hard Alexis runs but this time maybe she ran to the right spot right into the arms of JM. With a slow aggravating start they seem to find their way to each other , but when life throws a curve ball at them, Alexis does what she is used to , she runs. Loved these two together, the passion they have and how two very different ppl are very right for eachother
Never judge a book by its cover and always follow your gut but never run because life will always catch up to you at some point.
This story threw me for a loop. When I was thinking it was going to go one way it went in the opposite. Lexi has been betrayed by people she trusted the most in her life so she runs off to Montreal to get a fresh start but of course on her way there she meets someone who will change her life forever.
JM is a sexy, inked piece of art who owns one of the best tattoo shops in Montreal. He has the reputation of being a “bad guy” since having his heart broken by the woman he once loved but after meeting Lexi he realizes what his life has been truly missing.
Commitment issues, emotional ups and downs, twists and turns, nice storyline and well written plot. A captivating and entertaining read that had a lot in it.
I like it has some depth and that the author has taken time to define and develop the characters.
A nice mix of drama, steam, humour and finding yourself.
A delightful and sexy story of enemy turn lover story. This well written hot and steamy read is full of drama and emotions. The characters are interesting and likeable with sizzling chemistry and red hot passion ready to explode. These two tortured souls have commitment issues once past that they heal each other as they find happiness. A good read I really enjoyed it and it held my interest all the way through.

This was a great story and was very entertaining. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between the hero and heroine is sizzling hot. I would recommend this to anyone that loves a great love story.
The plot was well written and flowed smoothly from page to page and the characters were written with such great detail and depth that I was totally glued to my kindle until the turn of the very last page!
She had always been the good girl but it did not make her life any better so she leaves and goes to a new town. She is going to do things her way and without a man. He uses women for what he can get. His love is his tattoo shop until.She walked in. What will happen? See what will happen

Okay alot of explicit sex, and jealousy, exes, anger, accusations, threats, peace, contentment and it took along timbuktu a HEA.
This book is kinda hard to read, the sentences are broken up and when Jean-Marc talks its half French and half English.
There is so much drama surrounding Alexis that it surprised me that she can have any semblance of normalcy. Her family issues are downright unusual her low self esteem and poor attitude towards life is just unappealing. But the story has a good plot though it took a long time to read. It ends with Alexiss brother and friends tricking her to get it together. The boom end on HFN ending.

CHEMISTRY SOMETIMES TAKES THE FORM OF ANGER…IT’S STILL HOT
Although I loved this book, I am struggling with this review…At first, Alexis was easy to like…she seemed strong, strong enough to leave a life of luxury and a fiancé ready to marry her, and give her everything….so it took strength to leave her family and her fiancé and live a life not orchestrated by her parents…Leaving to relocate made sense….
When Jean-Luc, the gorgeous, hot, all alpha male tatoo artist, with his own trust issues, enters the picture, her immaturity nearly ruins what can truly be the life she wants… I didn’t buy the wounded bird as much as I did the sheltered girl of wealth whose maturity was stifled by parents more concerned with appearances than the emotional growth of their daughter… That continuing to run instead of facing her problems was a result of her immaturity….but, like I said, I loved the book….so, characters don’t have to be perfect or respond in a certain way to make a good book….
Alexis and Jean-Marc (JM) are total opposites but yet they have an attraction to one another from the first meeting. She has left her old life in Toronto but has yet to heal from her loved one’s betrayal. Hoping to find herself and stability in Montreal, she enlists the help of her childhood best friend and comes face-to-face with the ever abrasive JM. With his mistrust of females, he is both rude and standoffish at every turn. Until neither can take it any longer, their attraction becomes further intense that creates a bond that only love holds strength.

Inked Love: An Enemies to Lovers Romance is very well written by author Cassidy London. Cassidy is a new author for me but definitely not for long, I’ll be reading more from her for sure. I loved this story and i’m honestly voluntarily reviewing a copy given to me by the author. This is the story of Alexis ‘Lex’ Reynolds, a charming girl from Toronto & Jean-Marc Dubois, sexy owner of a tattoo shop in Montreal. Lex moves to Montreal to stay with her friend, Angela Tilman after breaking up and canceling her wedding with her boyfriend Jason of 4 years. This is an enemies to lovers romance. Can they make it work? The plot is full of drama, humor, lots of ups and downs, lot of dirty talk, a sexy tattoo biker, a good girl, controlling parents, sizzling chemistry, passion, awesome characters and a great final. I needed to say that I loved the cover!!!A must read. Now I have to read the Suburban Series from Cassidy London.
What a amazing rad that will have you hooked tell the very end. This is a fantastic read that has you wanting more from this fast pace book.
ONE INTERESTING TALE!!!
Oh man, talk about biting off more than you can chew. If you’re looking for a smooth flowing, action packed, pulse racing, heart pounding, page turning delight that grabs your attention from the start. Congrats my friends you’ve found it. All the drama, fear, betrayal, deceit, uncertainty and a little intrigue that increases while tension spirals as the plot thickens. A whirlwind of emotions and events that pulls at those heartstrings. Twists and turns abound with unexpected surprises that make for one enjoyable experience. The characters and scenes are written with such realism it really pulls this little guy together beautifully. Cassidy did an amazing job bringing this read to life. Fantastic job Cassidy, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.
Beautiful and hot discovery
Surprisingly, despite the simplicity of the story, I loved this story. It’s very well written and the characters are exciting, especially Alexis, the narrator. I really liked her evolution, her discovery and her acceptance of herself, as well as the way this is written to the reader : her transformation is the story.
I appreciated the hero JM (Jean Marc) but I did not necessarily understand all his reactions. Anyway, the scenes between them are always boiling with hatred or love.
Alexis, discovers that she has been prepared to be a trophy woman despite her skills. When she understands this, she flees her parents, her icy fiancé and leaves to move in Montreal. On the road, then regularly, she meets JM, an unpleasant tattooer, even irrascible, and yet he attracts her, but because of her emotional past, she denies all her desires towards him (besides that, at the same time, her parents and her ex-fiancé continue to harass her).
Weeks after weeks, she changes, then accepts her new life.
I really liked Antoine de St Exupéry’s French quote, which also carries the story and is at the beginning and end of the story.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
