The Montgomery Ink saga continues with a bonus romance between two strangers on a path of healing that leads to something far more.Zia Clarkson thought she found her happily ever after, not once, but twice. 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.

This is my favorite Montgomery Ink couple so far. Man they were fun, sexy and perfect together.
Loved Zia and Meredith. They are a great couple. This Montgomery world just continues to introduce us to more people to love. The family and their friends are a wonderful representation of the world at large and I very much enjoyed reading this story after meeting Zia and seeing the great friendship she still has with Bristol. Can’t wait to see more of these two in future stories.
When I started reading I couldn’t put it down.Carrie Ann Ryan is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can’t wait for the next book.
I love the Montgomery family. It never fails. I love how Zia got her story from beyond being with Bristol. And the Neighbor story line is fabulous. That lets do this once just never works out in the end. They had a great story that flowed fabulous after they both stopped lying to themselves. It’s nice they finally got their HEA. More please, much more.
My first FF book, but I trusted Carrie Ann Ryan to do it right and she does. She shows the history, the damage, the hopes of Zia and Meredith, along with their chemistry and heat. This felt real and poignant. True to CAR’s novella skills, she packed a punch in this short story, but I could’ve happily read a longer story with Zia and Meredith bc I enjoyed it so much.
Zia and Meredith’s story was so good! Two people who have made some bad choices and want to find their own way before jumping into another relationship. But they can’t seem to stay away from each other despite agreeing to it being one time. It was a great quick read that ties into the Montgomery Ink world!
The story is enough to crush you!! I absolutely loved it!! The characters just pull you in!! The emotions are so real!! Would highly recommend!!
There are a few things that I loved about this book. First it was my first F/F and it was solid 5 starts. Second, one of my favorite running themes/jokes in the whole series is how the Montgomery family knows everyone and of course Both Zia & Meredith are entwined with the Montgomery’s.
M.I. is one of my all time favorite series, and the fun novellas for the side characters is just one of the reasons it stays at the very top of the list.
Zia and Meredith are neighbours. They agree to one passionate night together, and this then develops into a relationship. This was very well written, the language was evocative and emotive, and fascinating character development.
I think this was the author’s first foray into a same-sex women’s relationship and I have to say I was impressed. I think she did a great job of writing about Zia and Meredith. I found this story to be cute and interesting. I liked the story and I hope she does more like it in the future.
Love these two. hope they show up inmore Montgomery books.
I liked Zia and Meredith and the way they met was definitely unique. They had both been hurt before and start off wanting things to just be casual. I liked these 2 together and I am glad they were able to be okay with their pasts and move on together.
“We’re all moments in time, moments in ink”
“We’re all moments in what we carve out for each other”
Carrie Ann Ryan has written a beautiful story of two women who have been verbally beaten down by men and came out of the other side stronger, but a little afraid to love again. Meredith and Zia are the perfect balance of sassy and stubborn. Can’t wait to see them in the next Montgomery book.
I’m so happy we got this bonus novella. It was a quick read that had everything it needed to pack a punch. I couldn’t put it down. Poor Zia just can’t do it anymore, she’s been burned too many times. I loved seeing her get her HEA. It was just perfect! The heart wants what the heart wants!
When it comes to love Zia has two strikes against her which have left their scars and she isn’t about to repeat the experience. Instead she will focus on her business and her friends and leave romance to others, however her plan didn’t allow for the intense feelings she had for her neighbor Meredith.
Meredith has a painful past of her own and is cautious when it comes to allowing others into her life. The circumstances under which she met her neighbor Zia was both humorous and hot but she was determined to keep her distance but fate had other ideas when they find they are tied through mutual friends.
When the chemistry between them ignites they agree on a physical relationship however it isn’t long before their hearts become involved however when the past comes back with a vengeance will it bring them closer or tear them apart?
Zia and Meredith couldn’t have been a better match and after all that they had been through it was great to see them find love and happiness.
This is Zia’s book she’s came back to the US after she broke things off with her ex in England. Once she returns and decides to begin her new life fresh she purchases a new house and runs into her new neighbor Meredith in a less than appealing way. Requiring help from Bristol and Marcus. Zia is a makeup artist who creates amazing art on her face and helps others by providing tutorials for them online.

Meredith has just moved in as well after divorcing her ex husband, who wasn’t a good guy. Meredith is an accountant and is friends with Aaron Montgomery and hangs out with him because otherwise she’d just remain in her house never having any fun.
*
Once she meets Zia out with Bristol and Marcus the sparks are immediate and everyone in the group notices it, it’s unmistakable they both feel the pull towards the other. Zia and Meredith neither one truly wants a relationship just to be friends and hang out and have fun. However the more they see each other the attraction between them sparks and grows.
*
Overall, I really enjoyed the story it can be read in one sitting it’s not that long but still tells their story beautifully and the author does an amazing job of keeping the reader engaged and wanting to see how the story will end for them. This is part of the Montgomery Ink Boulder Series world and would be better if reading the previous books to understand the characters as you will see them in the previous books.
This was the first F/F romance that I have read and want sure going into it if I would enjoy it or not. I have read M/M and F/M/M and liked them so since I have enjoyed this author before decided to give it a read. It didn’t disappoint. I really enjoyed Zia and Meredith. Neither of them is looking to start a relationship. The two just seem to be pulled together. I enjoyed the story and the chemistry of these characters. Would recommend to others.
I’ve only read two F/F stories previously and Moment in Ink by author Carrie Ann Ryan is by far the best one. I really enjoyed Zia and Meredith’s first meeting which was quite memorable and their instant attraction was apparent. These two were perfect for each other; the sex scenes were well written and I loved watching them fall in love. I’m happy that this book is linked to the Montgomery Ink world and we got to see a few of the Boulder Montgomery characters.
While I really enjoyed Moments in Ink I felt like it should of been longer. It seemed like just as it was getting started it ended. Other than that it was a fantastic story and I absolutely love this world.
This is a very quick yet deeply emotional and heart string tugging read. They are both so beautifully broken and sweetly perfect, could not put this story down once I began the journey. Highly entertaining and full of heart.
