5.0

“Are You Ready?” by Kaylee Ryan is the third book in her contemporary romance series, Everlasting Ink, and it’s a slow burn, single mom romance starring main characters Forrest and Briar that I absolutely adored!

 

Briar has been through way too much pain in her short life, and as a result, she has walls that are almost impossible to get past. But Forrest has made it his mission to prove to Briar that he’s not going anywhere, and that he can be trusted not only with her heart, but with the hearts of her twin daughters, River and Rayne, as well.

 

Speaking of Forrest, I loved how completely and utterly swoony he was. He was so protective of both Briar and her daughters, and he knew from the very beginning that Briar, River, and Rayne were a package deal, and he not only accepted that but embraced it. He was so gentle and kindhearted, which is what Briar needed after what happened in her past.

 

I’ve been impressed with everything I’ve read by Kaylee Ryan so far, and I’m really happy to have discovered her as an author! I’m loving the Everlasting Ink series, and I can’t wait to read the next one. All in all, this was absolutely a 5 star read for me!
