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.

Great book. It is very well written. Can Zia fine happiness even know she thought she had 2 times before. She moves back home and is working on herself but then she meets her neighbor Meredith. Can they fine love or will it just a one night stay? I love how the other characters come into play from the previous stories. It’s a must read.
A great short that gives Zia, Bristol’s best friend, another chance at happiness again. She’s left a bad past behind, and becomes taken with her beautiful neighbor next door. Meredith has her own bad past she’s trying to heal from, and even though they mutually decide to just have fun, neither can help the feels that come barreling through. Their story was quite enjoyable!
This is Carrie Ann Ryan’s first f/f book in the Montgomery Ink world. Zia gets her story told in this novella. Zia and Meredith have 2 main things in common. They both thought they had found their HEA’s but were wrong and both decided they needed time to heal before putting themselves out there again. Little do they know that fate has other ideas. These two women deserve to finally find their true HEA.
Moments in Ink was so freeing. Keeping in with the Montgomery sphere of love and connection of family, we found Zia and Meredith. Both of these women are strong women looking to break free of their pasts and move forward. They are able to learn from each other to trust in the other and move forward. It was beautiful to see their story. While this book is part of the series, it can be read as a stan-alone.
For her F/F book, Carrie Ann nailed. The intimate scenes were not awkward and both females were strong. That makes a huge difference to me.
Both women had to finds themselves after some horrible circumstances and they just so happen to find each other in the process.
Read this and fight for love.
We are introduced to Zia in Embraced in Ink. She is Bristol’s best friend and has moved back home to be there for Bristol. She is also trying to get over a breakup. She is a youtuber who shows people how to do makeup, and she was a makeup artist. In trying to find herself again she winds up meeting her new neighbor Meredith in the most unusual of ways. Zia is dancing around her apartment in her underwear and goes outside, and the door locks behind her. Meredith has just moved to the neighborhood after leaving her ex husband.
Meredith comes to the rescue in a way by lending Zia her jacket to cover up while waiting for Bristol to come over and unlock her door and let her back in.
Neither one of these ladies is looking for a relationship but they can’t deny the attraction they feel.
Moments In Ink (Montgomery Ink: Boulder #3.5) Zia Clarkson thought she found her happily ever after, not once, but twice. Her first love Bristol Montgomery (Embraced In Ink) is now engaged, and her second love in England, broke more than her heart. She’s not looking for a relationship, especially not with her neighbour Meredith Legend whom she meets in the most unusual way. Meredith’s heart was broken as well but the two women are strong, beautiful, and independent with some insecurities about trusting their feelings because of their pasts. I loved this story but I have a small issue with this novella…it should have been a longer book this novella made me what more of Zia and Meredith! Can’t wait for the next book Seduced In Ink!
I absolutely loved this story! It is f/f, which is usually not something that I usually read but I love this author and this series. I was not disappointed! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is on the shorter side but I loved getting to know Zia better. We have seen her and heard things about her in the previous books in the series. It was fun getting to see a different side to her and watching her get her own happy ending in this book. Both Zia and Meredith are trying to heal from their last relationships. They were not healthy and did not end well. I liked Meredith as well. They are both gun shy and have to fight through that to actually give what is developing between them a shot. There was plenty in this book to hold my attention. Most of the action in this one is with the characters themselves and trying to heal and learning how to move on. Both were looking to avoid something serious but they just work together. This book can be read as a standalone. You do see characters from the previous books which is an added bonus if you have read them but it is not necessary. I’m looking forward to the next one for sure.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Moments in Ink is Book 3.5 in Carrie Ann Ryan’s Montgomery Ink: Boulder series. While these stories all stand perfectly fine on their own, the Montgomery Family is one of my all-time favorites so I highly recommend reading them all.
This story was a bit different than what I’m used to seeing from Ms. Ryan being f/f. A great story with steam, drama and great character development. My only complaint is that it was too short!!! I want more!!
We are all moments in time. Such a profound statement and so true.
I love everything that Ms. Ryan writes, but anything involving the Montgomery’s is my absolute favorite. This is an amazing story of 2 lost souls who finally find the place where they belong and it just happens to be with each other. So amazing what you can find when you aren’t really looking.
Moments in Ink is the story of Zia and Meredith. Zia has been introduced over a few past books so I think we were all looking forward to seeing her story. The first introduction between Zia and Meredith was hysterical and I loved their interactions. Even though this is a shorter story there is so much detail in the pages. The evolution of their relationship and the hardships they have to overcome is very true to life and is very engaging. Their chemistry and care for each is explosive and I was rooting for them since the beginning. Another great read from Carrie Ann Ryan!!
I’m so happy that Zia and Meredith found one another after all they both have been through. Neither one had it easy and I couldn’t tell you which one was harder to read about. Both women thought at one point or another that they had something special in the past only they weren’t with the person they were meant to be with. One glance, one touch and they both knew they needed to test the waters between them.
This was an EXCELLENT Bonus Novella, a little heavier than I expected but just as hot! I honestly couldn’t get enough of Zia and Meredith. This is the first venture into FF for Carrie Ann Ryan and I would say she hit it out of the park, I expect to see more of this mix from her in the future.
If you have read the Montgomery Ink: Boulder Series this is a must read for you because you have already met Zia. If you enjoy FF Romance, next door neighbor romance, or even if you are looking for a good quick read I would recommend this book to you as well.
Happy Reading!!!
Omg I absolutely love Zia and Meredith’s story. I so didn’t want it to end. This is a first for Carrie Ann Ryan writing a romance with a F/F spin and omg she did amazing writing it. Oh the feels and whole story I devoured in one sitting. I recommend everyone take the leap and try this book out of the Montgomery world.
This is a hot fast read. Also it’s emotion on paper. Swinging from one emotion to another with some great characters. It’s full of heartwarming connections and truth in prose. In a word awesome! I received an advanced copy of this book and freely leave this honest review.
This is my first f/f read and I have to say that I really enjoyed this book. It was very well written. Definitely worth reading.
These are 2 strong women finding their place in the world. Both are fighting expectations, disappointment and fear. However when they meet it’s just right. Together they are strong and once they let go of their internal fears and just love, they are amazing. This is a must read, especially if you love the Montgomery’s.
love this series
love the Montgomeries
Zia and meredith grabbed my heart
intense emotional broken beautiful heartstopping
ready for more
This is a good, quick story. I really liked the characters but it was almost too quick. Meredith, in particular, has serious issues that should have taken longer to resolve.
Who new that a path to healing could leadbto finding your soul mate. Definitely not Zia or Meredith. This was a beautifully emotional amazing read. A definite must.
Moments In Ink
Love the Montgomery World!! Carrie Ann Ryan has built an entire universe around the Montgomery Family. The newest installment in the world is Moments In Ink. Zia is a beautiful make-up artist who has lost at love twice before. Meredith is coming off a rough divorce from an abusive husband. Now they are neighbors.
Meredith and Zia are both new homeowners and now they are neighbors. The women meet when Zia is accidentally locked out of her house. The next time they meet, is when they realize they are both friends of the Montgomery family. Neither woman wants to be in a relationship, but sparks fly.
This is a sweet tale of how you find what you need when you least expect it.
