Absolutely perfect! My feelings were all over the place with this story!

Another amazing story! There is so much emotion packed into this story, I can't hardly believe it's novella length! There are tears, laughter, hurt, and happiness. Everything I need in a story!

Abby had her world ripped apart, but had to keep it together for her little girl. She decides to make a fresh start in Colorado Springs, among a whole new crew of Montgomerys. Slowly, she builds her life again, begins to get her happy back. And she starts to notice a certain someone at the tattoo shop next door to her little tea shop.....

Ryan is mysterious! He seems to play things close to his chest, at least at the beginning. He's hiding his past, not wanting it to affect his present or his future, but things have a way of coming to light at the worst times!

This story had my feelings all over the place! I was totally engaged, right from the beginning and was so glad that these two characters finally had their story! Absolutely perfect!

Overcoming Loss

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2019

Ashes to Ink is a Montgomery Ink Novella featuring Abby and Ryan. I think fans of this series really wanted Abby to get her HEA after suffering a loss so great and life changing.

We met Abby in Hope Restored, Gallagher Brothers book 3, she was engaged to a childhood friend of Murphy's who was fighting cancer as well. Max was the love of Abby's life, they were engaged and expecting their first child. Max died in front of Abby and her life has never been the same. Abby moved with her daughter Julia to Colorado Springs and started her life over. The owner of Teas'd a tea shop next door to Montgomery Ink 2, she has become an honorary member of the family.

Ryan is the newest tattoo artist at Montgomery Ink 2, who is fighting his own demons and dealing with a loss of a different kind. Growing up with both parents in the military they moved around a lot. Ryan and his twin brother handled the constant moving and lack of long lasting connections to people in different ways. Michael, Ryan's twin turned to alcohol then later drugs as a means to cope.

Ashes to Ink is a road to discovery for both Abby and Ryan, learning to trust and take a chance on happiness again.

Survival

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2019

As with all the Montgomery Ink stories this book was fantastic! This story gave us a view from the perspective of two people trying to survive tragedy. While each of their issues are totally different, they both are learning in their own way how to live in the moment, not in the past. What was also great about this book was the way it set up two additional stories. One that has been hinted about in the last few books - Roxie and Carter; the other about Landon and Kaylee. Great read.

Wallop of emotion

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

Carrie Ann Ryan packed a wallop of emotion in Abby and Ryan’s relationship! Joy, sadness, frustration, fear, hope...I mean, for a novella there was just so much going on! And the chemistry! Abby and Ryan’s romance was steamy and sensuous, with a dollop of extra sweetness I loved!

There’s also a good number of characters mentioned along with the main couple, but they’re easy to keep track of! Have no fear in feeling lost if you jump into this book without reading previous stories. That’s the beauty of a 1001 DK novella!

I enjoyed this story but I felt a few things could of been left out. One Ryan being bi... had nothing to do with the storyline. Second I felt the lust between Abby and Ryan but he held things so close to his chest. Overall I am happy Abby got her HEA. I first read about her in Murphy Gallagher's story and I wanted to see her get her own book. Third I wanted to know why she no longer spoke with Max's parents. Overall good addition. Wished it was a little longer. Happy Reading!!

Whether it is a full novel or short story like her novellas, Carrie Ann Ryan always delivers a page turning story. She knows how to pair her heroes & heroines!! In Ashes to Ink, we find Abby & Ryan. Each has a faced some difficult times. One from watching the love of their life die right in front of them. The other, a family member's life of addiction. Each a little broken and figuring out how to move forward despite what has gone on in their past. Their broken roads lead them to each other, which leads to a budding friendship.....kinder spirits, then to lovers. As events unfold in this story, they learn more about the other. Understand the other better. Have no problem with the other talking about what has gone in their past. They help the other embrace what happened, then help the other heal and keep moving forward. When one is down the other is their to lend support, lifting them up. True to Carrie Ann's writing style, she had me laughing, crying, rooting for this duo, and wanting to strangle a character or two. Definitely a wonderful addition to her Inked series!!!
