ARC received from author for an honest review - thank you!

A new Nicole Edwards book is like Christmas every day, and I couldn't wait to dive in.

It has been a while since we had a standalone story, and whilst I love her series, sometimes a good stand alone is what we all need.

And that is what we got with Inked On Paper.

Jacob Wild, romance writer with writer's block. Presley Abrams, tattoo artist extraordinaire with a closed off heart.

So completely different, but opposites do attract.

Presley (LOVE her name and the reason for it) - I adore her. I could understand why she felt like she did, but at times I wanted to shake some damn sense into her.

Jake really was just what she needed, when she needed it. I adored his persistence in breaking down those walls - though at times I don't know why he kept at at!

I loved - mostly - Presley's room mates, her best friend Gavin and Gil. Though at times I wanted to nut punch them for the way they acted in the house they all shared. Some of the things they did I found pretty disrespectful and and just.... nope, can't find the words for it.

There was also one scene with Gavin, Gil and Jake that I was thinking "WTH are you doing there???" It just made me dislike them all for a little while - and you know know what I am talking about when you get to it.

But Jake and Presley finding their muses and finding love (or do they??) along the way had me not wanting to put the book down. I enjoyed the "book within a book" too! You have to keep reading after the epilogue!
