About this ebook

The Montgomery Ink saga continues with a bonus romance between two strangers on a path of healing that leads to something far more.

Zia Clarkson thought she found her happily ever after, not once, but twice. Her first love is now engaged, and her second love broke more than her heart. Heart and soul bruised; she’s not looking for a relationship. Ever. Especially not with the uptight Meredith Legend who stars in her fantasies.

They promised each other one night of passion. And when the sun rises, they’ll walk away—even if they’re both lying to themselves about why.

Ratings and reviews

This is Zia’s book she’s came back to the US after she broke things off with her ex in England. Once she returns and decides to begin her new life fresh she purchases a new house and runs into her new neighbor Meredith in a less than appealing way. Requiring help from Bristol and Marcus. Zia is a makeup artist who creates amazing art on her face and helps others by providing tutorials for them online. * Meredith has just moved in as well after divorcing her ex husband, who wasn’t a good guy. Meredith is an accountant and is friends with Aaron Montgomery and hangs out with him because otherwise she’d just remain in her house never having any fun. * Once she meets Zia out with Bristol and Marcus the sparks are immediate and everyone in the group notices it, it’s unmistakable they both feel the pull towards the other. Zia and Meredith neither one truly wants a relationship just to be friends and hang out and have fun. However the more they see each other the attraction between them sparks and grows. * Overall, I really enjoyed the story it can be read in one sitting it’s not that long but still tells their story beautifully and the author does an amazing job of keeping the reader engaged and wanting to see how the story will end for them. This is part of the Montgomery Ink Boulder Series world and would be better if reading the previous books to understand the characters as you will see them in the previous books.

This novella length read packs a huge emotional punch. I can't say that I have read very many f/f love stories. I have read many a romance that featured a m/m couple before because for some reason that pairing seems much more accepted, popular and mainstream. So to start I want to say kudos to this author for taking a chance on writing this book. Zia and Meredith were just like any other characters you'd read about. They each some emotional baggage they were lugging around and a fierce attraction for each other that they where trying to fight. I thought both characters were very likable and their chemistry was sizzling. Their engaging story offers a combination of emotion, drama, steam, turmoil and heart that gives the reader all the feels you could want from a great romantic read. This is my candid, freely posted review.

I have loved all the Carrie Ann Ryan books I had read to date (which is quite a few!), so I had my suspicions that I would enjoy this book too. However, I hadn’t previously read and really enjoyed any books focused on two female leads. I started this book with some reservations and then found nothing but Carrie Ann Ryan classic writing: great characters with interesting back stories and an interesting and captivating storyline. I really enjoyed this book and would have loved this to be a full book and find out more about these ladies, their past and their futures together. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book
