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 … 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.

My first ever FF read. I think the author did a really good job of it. (i have nothing to compare it to). Zia has moved back to the US and into her new home after things went wrong in England. Meredith is her new neighbour and also has a past she wants away from. We got Meredith’s backstory but I think I wanted to know Zia’s backstory as well and why she was running away. There was also the unanswered question over Meredith’s ex-husband just showing up, threatening her and walking away, and yet Zia had the phone in her hand but didn’t call 911 ?????? also did he come back or is this being kept for another story. the story just seemed to stop abruptly. It was a good read though and I like their story but I wanted more of Zia and I didn’t connect with her as I did with Meredith.
I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. It was that good. Mia was Bristol’s ex and had just come back to town from England, where a boyfriend ran her down. She was trying to rebuild herself. Her new next store neighbor was Meredith, who was a new divorced woman who was also trying to rebuild herself. They had a funny first meeting and then the attraction grew to a hot night of passion The story was very well written about two women falling in love with each other after a disastrous union with a man. They were perfect for each other.
I got this book from the author for an honest review
I have always liked Zia’s character, but this story brought out so many, more layers of this multi-talented heroine and I knew she deserved to have someone equally as amazing as she is. She definitely pulled off ‘most awkward, yet unforgettable’ first impression when she met her new neighbor Meredith. There was chemistry and a connection from the beginning. I really liked watching these two find their way toward each other and decide that they wanted to try for more between them. It was nice seeing Zia’s friendship with Bristol and Marcus was still there and I liked Meredith’s friendship with Aaron Montgomery. I really felt for Meredith with her ex, but Zia stepped right up to be there for her. One of my favorite lines in this story was, ‘you are a light in our lives, Zia, and I love you’. What a great story!
I love that Carrie Ann wrote a story for Zia! Zia is Bristol’s best friend/ex-girlfriend. Zia thought she had her happy ever after in London. After leaving broken hearted she decides to come home and throw herself in her growing business. She decided to swear off relationships of any kind, until she locks herself out of her house…in her underwear…and her smoking hot new neighbor decides to check on her! Meredith has just gotten out of an abusive marriage, finally allowing herself to free to be who she really is. Meredith’s only real friend in town is Aaron Montgomery, so of course she and Zia keep running into each other. They both are relationship-shy, but they can’t deny the chemistry between them. I love their story, the danger, the drama, the passion….it’s just such an amazing story!!
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.
A promise of one night becomes more when Zia and Meredith connects on a higher level than they expected! I loved this fast romance read that didn’t skimp on the heat level. You can literally feel their sizzle as their connection blossoms. I loved the storyline with just the right mount of drama and a whole lot chemistry. I have read only a few f/f romance but this was far the best. Highly recommend if you haven’t had the pleasure of this genre.
I absolutely adored Zia and Meredith’s story. The way that they connected and yet didnt. The way that they only promised each other one night….but then didn’t. This story was so realistic, rl romance isnt written out in dialogue for us and these two amazing beautiful human beings totally worked their own dialogue and their own story into my heart. I loved them.
This book is emotional, heartwarming and awesome with doubts along the way. Great chemistry but hearts broken in the past leads to insecurities. I volunteered an honest opinion for this book.
I just plain love the Montgomery World!!! Moments in Ink was a fun quick hot read. Zia and Meredith are both friends of the Montgomery’s who end up being neighbors. Their story was fun and sexy, loved it.
Best meet cute ever! Though neither are actually Montgomerys; Zia & Meredith both have enough interaction with them to be part of the tribe. This is a fast paced intense tale that will make you laugh and cry. This is a terrific tale made all the better by the bonus scene available from the author.
What a read. Meredith has just moved in next door to Zia, ends up meeting her in the garden after His was dancing around the house, came outside & got locked out. Neither of them was looking for love after the relationships that they had in the past, but the heart wants what the heart wants & ends up being what each other needs!
Moments of reflection, moments of clarity…
I had never read an f/f before, but if anyone can make you feel like you are in a character’s shoes it’s Carrie Ann. Heartbreak and raw lust are universal no matter what your couple looks like. Zia and Meredith may think they’re only good for a moment but fate must have brought them together. This fast hot read will warm your heart and your libido.
Definitely a very sweet sexy read. Never say never fate is a very mischievous lady. Zia and Meredith are not looking for more but find themselves unable to deny each other. The heart wants what it wants but can their battered souls accept that they can be enough for each other?
What a story! I just loved Zia. Two broken souls trying to find themselves and they found each other. And hello…Montgomery’s. At this point, I think I’ve become one. Lol. The Epilogue has all the feels. Thank you for taking us there.
This story is short but it has a great storyline, wonderful characters and lots of emotion. Two women who have loved and lost, and are trying to find out who they are and what they want, find that they are just what they need. This story is heartwarming and romantic and has HEA.
This is a steamy quick read. I loved seeing some old characters as well as meeting some great new ones. It was beautifully written as always with Carrie Ann’s books. It was a heartwarming story with an overdue HEA for Zia. Meredith is the perfect fit for Zia. I adore how easily the Montgomery’s pulled these two into their fold. It was very enjoyable.
Meredith and Zia weren’t looking for love. Is t that when you usually find it? Moments in Ink was a quick, fun and sexy read. I enjoyed it.
Meredith and Zia had a confidence about them that was wonderful. They also had that bit of vulnerability that you get from life handing you less than sunshiney moments. Neither had the best of luck at love, and while Meredith was adamant she wasn’t trying again and Zia wasn’t looking, the heart wants what it wants. These two were sexy, fun, and a bit of drama, and both in sights of the Montgomery Borg, so of course they get their HEA!
