At First Meet
NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan continues the Montgomery Ink Legacy series with an emotional, friends-to-lovers romance where second chances begin with a promise. I fell in love with the wrong man and learned the hard way to ask for help. I don’t plan on falling again and have no intention of trying. But when I get invited to a high-powered CEO retreat, I know I can’t say no. And I can’t go alone. When my frenemy, Nick, invites himself as my escort, I should walk away. But there’s no stopping the connection we’ve both ignored for far too long. Only Nick’s past is far darker than he lets the world know, and the shell he encased himself in is stronger than my own. And when the pain from my past comes back with a force, I’m afraid that walking away will be the only choice—even if it breaks us both.

I like reading about Nick, Lake and family. Strong and sassy characters.
By ThiaMar2
This is book 2 in The Montgomery Ink Legacy series and it features Nick and Lake. These two are longtime friends and business partners. They bicker a lot but that’s part of who they’ve always been with each other. She was in an extremely toxic relationship and it was Nick that helped her when things got really bad. Now she needs a date for a work thing and again, it’s Nick to the rescue. This is a fantastic story full of family, great friends and amazing sexiness. I love reading about this next generation of Montgomery’s as they navigate life and love. It’s great to see characters from previous series too! I can’t wait for the next book!

Another great edition to the Montgomery stories! This is Nick and Lane’s story…which actually has been simmering for awhile under the guise of…quarreling. But underneath that, there is attraction. Nick sees himself as “just” a tattoo artist. Lane is a nominated for a “top forty CEOs under forty” award which, to him, further highlights their differences. Both have pasts that haunt them now, in different ways…will this drive them apart or bring them together? Wonderful love story!

The storytelling draws you into this wonderful family and in this tale I came to love Lake and Nick. Getting into their heads we know what they are thinking. Both of them have baggage, but they have shared these times since they have been friends so long. Well friends and now business partners that argue, often. I could see and feel the attraction and true caring Lake and Nick have and was rooting for them so hard. This read was witty and thoughtful and so much fun.

I finished this last night. Nick is definitely “growly” and a whole lot more. I loved that you touched on topics of relevance. I loved the book and look forward to the rest of the series. Especially Sebastian.
