The perfect way to spend an hour. Kaylee and Landon have been mentioned a few times in Carrie Ann Ryan’s Montgomery Ink : Colorado Springs series and I was happy that we got even a small glimpse into their story. There isn’t anything earth shattering here but this novella left me feeling uplifted and satisfied. Ink by Numbers is well worth the investment; 4 stars!
This short Montgomery adjacent story follows another strong independent woman. As we read of Kaylee’s joys with her art, her fun with her friends, and her trials we learn her deepest feelings. Landon also reveals his true self among these pages. Their journey brings us sadness as well as joy, it’s an emotional read but the end is oh so satisfying.
This was a very good Carrie Ann Ryan short story. Kaylee and Landon tried dating once and thought it would be better to be just friends. BUT they couldn’t help that the feelings kept getting stronger. Both of them had parents who gave them grief and they leaned on each other for support. It was sweet how Landon really new Kaylee and knew when she needed him. It was a sweet story all around and I really enjoyed reading it.
What an emotional read! Family trauma haunts both Landon and Kaylee. It colors their world and actions. When the emotional fog lifts they both see what’s been right in front of them all along. I loved this story with its angst and snark if not the mother dearest. I received an advanced copy of this book and freely leave this honest review.
Loved it. A short little read but very sexy. It is very well written. Love how the characters from the other books come in to play. Just love me some Montgomerys. Can’t wait for the next one.

Ink by Numbers is a short, sweet novella by Carrie Ann Ryan. It follows the story of Kaylee and Landon, two characters you met and see a lot of in the other Montgomery siblings books. It is quick and steamy look into the development of their relationship and how they are navigating possibly becoming a couple. They are both great and likable characters and I’m glad we a got a small glimpse into what made them the people they are today. It was a good read..I would have liked a little longer book but it was still enjoyable.
Kaylee comes from a wealthy family and always did what was expected of her which included marrying her now ex-husband. She now owns an art store and has built the life she wants with a great group of friends including Landon and the Montgomery clan.
Landon and Kaylee have become best friends and spend a lot of time together. A year ago, they crossed the line for one night but decided that would be it as they didn’t want to destroy their friendship. A year later they can’t stop thinking about each other or that night. Are they finally willing to admit what everyone else in their circle of friends know and that is that they belong together?
Short and sweet it was great to get some insight into Kaylee and Landon and spend some time with the characters that we know and love.
I ADORE these novellas!!! We constantly saw glimpses of Kaylee and Landon, and always heard about their elusive coupling. I was Sooo excited to finally get their story! I loved how they slowly fell into this relationship, even if they didn’t realize that’s what they were doing. They became such good fiends and that makes for the best relationship.
I also loved the amount of depth we got into their lives. We got just enough about what makes Landon and Kaylee tick. It was the perfect amount of everything for this novella!
Montgomery Ink: Colorado Springs #3.5, Kaylee and Landon have been building their non-relationship “off screen”, basically, for the last three books. This one is a short and sweet story of them finally realizing they mean more to each other than just friends. When they first met neither were in a good place to start anything more than friendship but gradually their feelings have gotten much deeper and once they give into the temptation there is no turning back.
Overall, this was a quick and lovely read. For those of us who have been waiting for this book since the beginning of the series it was very satisfying. I would recommend for new readers, you learn more about Kaylee and Landon than in any of the other books. I would almost complain that it was too short but it worked.
I really enjoyed this story! It is a really quick, short read. We have been getting bits and pieces of Landon and Kaylee throughout the Colorado Springs series. We never really knew what was going on between them but that something was. It was nice to get this story and to see their happy ending. The sex is explicit and fits perfectly into the story. I loved getting to know Landon and Kaylee better and seeing them interact with each other when it was just them. This was a fun story and if you’ve read the rest of the books in the Colorado Springs Montgomery Ink you are definitely going to want, and enjoy, getting to see this couple make it.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Omg I really enjoyed reading Kaylee and Landon’s story. I absolutely loved the feels and the way this was told. Amazing novella by Carrie Ann Ryan.
Love the Ink series,I was so impressed how I got sucked in to Kaylee and Landons amazing beautiful addicting short love story,So ready for more
Received an advance copy through BookFunnel.
I just love the Montgomery Ink crew…no matter which city they’re in! Kaylee and Landon’s story was a quick, sexy friends to lovers novella. It was great to see the two of them finally get together and find their HEA.
A quick heartfelt friends to lovers romance that will steal your heart in the blink of an eye.
Kaylee and Landon finally got their story. It’s a fast and very short read. It’s written with humor and Carrie Ann Ryan’s signature style. It makes a great lunch time read!
Even though this is a short, quick read this has to be one of my favorite Montgomery stories. I loved Kaylee and Landon and how great they are for each other. This story packs a lot in a few pages but doesn’t feel rushed.
Adored this quick yet highly entertaining journey that finally gives us the journey of a couple that I for one have been wondering about for a few books now…. Loved their emotionally sweet, witty and engaging adventure filled with uncertainty and passion. Looking forward to visiting the Montgomery clan again.
As I finish this book, I literally have chills! This was an absolutely beautiful short romance, that really touched something inside me. It’s a novella length story set in the MI: Colorado Springs series. We get to visit with some of our favorite couples from previous stories, catching up on their lives.
Kaylee has a past that she is trying to forget. One that doesn’t make her happy. But she has a present that she is working on, and friends who are pulling her closer to that elusive happiness. She has always struck me as a person who works hard to bring joy to others. There is so much going on with Kaylee! So much hurt, it just makes my heart weep for her!
Landon, on the other hand, is just confused. I have to say, he wasn’t my favorite male character, because he gives the impression of not wanting to get involved in a relationship just so he can keep playing the field. Of course, as the story unraveled, and I learned more about him, I found him to be a very sweet guy.
This is an emotional, quick read. As with all of the MI stories, be prepared for a roller coaster of feelings, and look forward to turns you never even saw coming. I loved the tender moments, the connection and the absolute pure love between Kaylee and Landon. It’s perfect and beautiful! There really is no other way of putting it! I absolutely loved this story!
