Review of Fallen Ink by Carrie Ann Ryan

Love me some Montgomerys

After a long wait, we're finally getting to see more of Shep's family.  We met his sister Adrienne in Denver, but she's come home to Colorado Springs and Shep moved his family back home as well.  That was lucky for us, because having run out of Denver Montgomerys, I, for one, wasn't ready to say goodbye to them.

Adrienne and Shep have, along with their Denver cousins, Austin and Maya, opened Montgomery Ink Too, or MIT, a Montgomery tattoo shop in Colorado Springs and in their new shop works Adrienne's best friend Mace.  The chemistry between the two besties is apparent to everyone, except them apparently.  From the beginning, I loved them as a couple, even though they weren't ... technically.

Add in Mace's adorable little girl, who gets dropped on him unexpectedly, and this single dad needs all the help he can get.  I loved how his family and the Montgomerys rallied around him and helped him adjust. 

When the best friends become friends with benefits, they, for some reason, try hard to keep the sex casual, as to not hurt each other, but of course that doesn't work for them and leads to some frustration with me, lol.  I love them together and wanted them together for real, like stat.

Work life couldn't go smoothly either, as a mysterious man lets the Montgomerys know that their tattoo shop is not wanted in their upscale neighborhood.  He proceeds to cause mayhem, but instead of running them out, they get stronger and their neighbors band together with them.

I love Adrienne and Mace, separately and together, and loved seeing them finally realize that best friends make the best lovers and the best HEAs.  Can't wait for the stories about the other Colorado Springs Montgomerys and hopefully we'll also get the stories about Mace's sisters, who we meet and I love, as well.

Received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
