Inked Persuasion

Montgomery Ink: Fort Collins, Book 1

By: Carrie Ann Ryan

Narrated by: Emma Wilder, Aaron Shedlock

The Montgomery Ink saga from New York Times best-selling author Carrie Ann Ryan continues with a steamy new series.

Years ago, Annabelle Montgomery married not for love but for a promise of hope. When she lost him weeks later, she told herself she never needed those sentiments again. Only when she discovers years later that her new neighbor is her late husband’s brother, Annabelle finds she can’t quite shake the emotions she’s long since buried.

Jacob Queen vowed he’d never set eyes on Annabelle again. When they’re forced into each other’s lives once more, they realize that no matter how far they run, no distance can keep them apart forever. More than ghosts lay between them, and when they finally give in to temptation, walking away whole may no longer be an option.

Jacob & Annabelle!!💕

Good Listen!! But not gonna lie, I got really Excited when I noticed Emma Wilder as one of the narrators!! Everything Emma says is pure Humor! She always makes me giggle when I need it the most.

Welcome to Fort Collins, Montgomery Style!

I have loved getting to meet the Montgomery families, and the Fort Collins clan is a great addition. The first book from the new series is an enemy-to-lover tale and is Annabelle and Jacob's story. Jacob's family absolutely adores Annabelle but Jacob's dislike for Annabelle has kept him away from his parents until it's time to come home and take care of his family. They have a complicated history and to make matters, Jacob and Annabelle end up living next door to each other. The tension between these two is palpable and believable and when they get together they are fire. In the midst of this budding relationship, Annabelle works for the family business along with her brothers and sister. There is tension there as her father is having difficulty giving up control and feels he needs to keep up with the other thriving Montgomery businesses. I enjoyed seeing Jacob and Annabelle overcome the challenges they faced on all fronts.

As this is the start of a new series there are some interesting family members that I look forward to discovering more of their story. The audio included a clip titled Broken which is Eliza's story and I can't wait to hear her journey.

Narration by Emma Wilder and Aaron Shedlock was fantastic. Not new to me but this was my first time hearing them together. They definitely brought heat and a bit of spice to their narration.

loved it

Omg what a amazing read. I so didn't want it to end. I loved reading about Annabelle and Jacob and the way their story unfolded. Carrie Ann never disappoints a reader with her writing. The narrators are absolutely enjoyable to listen to. I love this new book and Fort Collins family.

Annabelle and Jacob

A fiery, passionate, emotional, heartfelt and beautiful romance. Annabelle and Jacob had a lot to overcome but the deep bond they developed leads them to so much more than either of the expected. I enjoyed going on this captivating journey with them.
