Kaylee knows art, friendship, and love. And because she’s known love, she wants nothing to do with it ever again. She likes her life just the way it is. Her art and her Brushes with Lushes classes keep her sane and happy.Landon spends his days with numbers and financial spreadsheets. At night, he just wants to relax, but the only way he can do that is with a woman. But these days, not just any … just any woman will do.
Kaylee and Landon do an excellent job of dancing around each other, but no matter how much desire burns between them or their own personal hang-ups, they’ll need to make a choice: life as they know it, or a life that could be so much more.

Great novella. You have seen Kaylee and Landon through the Montgomery Ink Colorado Springs series. This is a fun and sexy little story that puts these two together on their HEA. These two had a quick encounter together but wanted to remain friends and not have a relationship. Slowly they see that other relationship aren’t what they want and that maybe what they want and need has been right in front of them all along.
Such an awesome read. I couldn’t put it down and devoured it. It was a shorter read than usual but just as addicting. Landon and Kaylee were incredible and I yelled at my kindle many times hoping they would listen to some sense!!!!
This was a really sweet story of two people that we have seen briefly through other Ink stories. I would have liked it a bit longer. However, but I can’t complain at the bite size value that I got. It had a lot of detail and introspect for Kaylee and Landon. It gave a peek at the past and a HEA. I enjoyed reading it.
Lovely new story by the author! This was Landon and Kaylee’s story, we’ve met them in the previous books. Kaylee owns Brushes with Lushes were she teaches painting classes and on certain nights you sip wine while painting it is a stress reliever and we’re the Montgomery gals come and hang out and catch up. Landon is a numbers guy he works to ensure people make money or keep what they have while hopefully growing more in the long run. They are sweet and cute together everyone has decided they should be together except for themselves. It’s a short novella but completely done and definitely worth the read! I would recommend to others.
This story was a quick insight into Kaylee and Landon’s HEA. They dated without dating—lol. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This was one of Carrie Ann’s fast-paced to the point HEA. Kaylee and Landon have been making eyes and flirting with each other for quite some time. Now we get to find out what is up with these two. The perfect novella for Kaylee and Landon, a lot of love in the Montogomery World.
Kaylee and Landon have been circling on the edge of the Montgomery circle of friends for a while. Readers get little bits and snips of what possibly might be going on between them. This story gives you the scoop. It is a very sweet story that gives their love story. I love the way Carrie weaves this story into the timeline as to keep the Montgomery circle going seamlessly. I wish the story could have been a bit longer. The reader was given just a small glimpse of Kaylee and Landon’s backgrounds. Good read and good addition to the Montgomery’s!
Kaylee and Landon this was the story I was waiting for, it was the story that kept being hinted at but was never expanded on. Finally we have the story and it was amazing I knew it would be awesome but it was better than expected, sad to see this branch of the Montgomerys end but I cannot wait to see what happens next.
Kaylee is the artist who does Brushes with Lushes from some of the previous books. Landon is her best friend. They tried dating then realized they were better as friends. Kaylee was married to please her family but divorced him since he liked his secretary. The sexual tension between these two just jumps off the pages. I practically had to throw the book into water to cool it down ! They are practically dating without the physical part. They spend a lot of nights together, eating dinner, just spending time together. But then they get to the physical part again and again.
Short, sweet to the point book, wanted it to be a full length book, but it was good, a lot happened in the book.
Can’t wait for more Montgomery’s.
The next release is Breaking Without You.
I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
This book is very fast read… Kaylee and Landon have been friends and thought it would be best to just stay friends. This story is a slow burn in a fast read. This is such a great story…
I was so happy when Landon and Kaylee got together. Their connection has been dancing in the background of the other couples just out of our reach. I’m so glad these two were on the road to love all along.
I love this story!!! I having been waiting for these two to get together. Love love love!! Carrie Ann Ryan knocks it out the park again!!
Kaylee owns an art store and leads the famous Brushes with Lushes classes. She and Landon have been close friends for forever and finally decide to give romance another chance. This is a delightful novella and a quick read. It was great to a brief look into their personal lives. I also enjoyed seeing the characters from the other books in the Colorado Springs series.
I have been waiting for Landon’s story. I just got bits and pieces on the other book. All hush hush and never truly knowing what’s up. Now this book… sweet and spicy friends to lovers gave me what I wanted to know. Short but full of answers 🙂
Super sweet story for Kaylee and Landon. Seems like I’ve been waiting forever for these characters to finally get together. This was a fast read for me but still completely satisfying. I would not recommend this as a stand-alone, you do need to read the other Colorado Springs Montgomery’s books to get to know these characters first. Loved this though and would still like to see more books take place with this branch of the Montgomery family.
Opposites attract in this quick, steamy romance by Carrie Ann Ryan. Landon and Kaylee had terrific chemistry. They is a great, quick read. You can’t go wrong with this author.
What a great novella about Kaylee and Landon who have been circling each other in other books in the Montgomery Ink: Colorado Spring series. Katie is an artist who heads the Brushes with Lushes classes that the Montgomery women attend faithfully. Landon is always there for his friends but finds himself unhappy with his job and life. Kaylee and Landon gave into their attraction but decided to go back to being friends. Kaylee and Landon have unbelievable chemistry together. Landon and Kaylee struggle with their feelings for each other. Are Kaylee and Landon willing to put their friendship on the line and give into their passion again? Have Kaylee and Landon grown enough as individuals and moved past their issues to make their relationship work the second time around? Inked by Numbers will take the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride through Kaylee and Landon’s journey to becoming a couple. Inked by Numbers made me laugh out loud, cry, and want to bang my head in frustration. I LOVE Carrie Ann Ryan! I would highly recommend getting Inked by Numbers by Carrie Ann Ryan. Great little novella in the Colorado Springs series. I received an ARC of this story, and I am leaving my honest review.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book !
Kaylee and Landon had an one night stand.
They decided to stay friends so as not to disrupt the status quo.
Now Kaylee wants more from Landon.
Now Landon wants more from Kaylee.
Will these 2 figure out that they are perfect for each other ?
Loved the characters + the storytelling!
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Kaylee and Landon have been giving us little hints as to what they could be for quite a while now and i’m so happy to finally get their story! I loved Kaylee and Landon! They both had some things that were keeping them from moving forward but love does what it want when it wants. This was quick and sweet and oh so very sexy! I can’t wait to see what else comes from the Montgomery clan!!!!
Size isn’t everything and this one packs so much in!
This maybe a short read – but it packs a punch. They have been dating for over a year – even if they didn’t call it that – but they were allowing their bruised hearts to catch up to their bodies and dreams.
This short novella is perfect in every single way -it is perfect for Landon and Kaylee and sooooo them.
Carrie Ann Ryan writes romances that are REAL and make you feel. None of that mushy lovey dovey romance that is so sugary it’ll give you type 2…..oh no, her love is gritty, earthy, argumentative and doesn’t fit into a box with a tick …. sex between friends should be emotional, should be complicated and should be awkward as hell afterwards – especially when you desperately need and want to lick every inch of each other all over again.
And OMG some mother’s are a nasty piece of work and Kaylee’s mother is a masterpiece (know from experience) and Landon’s offer to kick her cane is a valid one…..however I say use said cane to beat some manners and common decency into her is a better one! (I’m NOT channelling my mother issues here – I swear 😉
I loved popping in and having a catch up with my friends the Montgomerys and their families and heart families. It’s better than any tv show!
Go on, chill for a couple of minutes and have a cuppa and a brilliant little book!
