This is by far my favourite in the series even though it is friends to out of each others lives to friends to lovers. I felt as if there was more depth to the plot here and to the characters. I think there could have been more build up to what happened at the end of the book, for me personally it came across as too sudden and then I felt as if it was quickly brushed under the carpet.

After three books I have finally figured out what is missing or what could be tuned down and that is the inner monologue over pages of the same repetitive thoughts of both characters.

I am getting into this series and I enjoyed it I just know it could be more.

I loved Meghan and Luc's story. It is a story about second chances and how love can be better when you both have lived a little, and are willing to finally admit your feelings to your best friend.

I love this series. And second chances I believe in even more than that. Carrie Ann poured some heart & soul into this story, it comes to life. I found myself devouring the story. Her characters ring true, the story line is awesome, and the way she draws you into the "normal" part of this couples life is smooth as cream. Well done, well done indeed.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Another great book

I loved this story! It was a a great continuation to the Montgomery series. We get to see Meghan finally find her happy ever after. We have gotten to see her struggle through the rest of the books and in this one she is finally standing on her own, but almost too much. She has a great, supportive family that just wants the best for her and her kids but she doesn’t want to become what she let her marriage beat her into. Luc steps in and is great at getting her to see that having support and using it doesn’t make her weak or take away her independence. I loved getting to see these two best friends finally get their chance together. I can’t wait for the next book!

Montgomery Ink Book Three

After the end of her marriage, Meghan is reeling from the betrayal of her ex-husband. She is trying to survive by working for her family's construction company and caring for her children as well. When Luc gives her a ride home one day, she remembers how close they used to be. Luc is trying to convince Meghan that now is their time to shine. When they were younger, he wasn't confident enough to go after her the way he wanted to; but, now he is.

If you're looking for a emotional story about second chances and true family, this is the book for you!

The best one so far. I liked the introspection, the doubts.
I don't like this author's way of portraying the villains though. They always come out as cartoonish and irrealistic.

Carrie Anne Ryan writes great books that stand on their own but also help to flesh out the world that all her intertwined stories exist in. She is one of my favorite cozy Sunday afternoon/relaxing beach day reads. All of her books are must reads for me.
