The Montgomery Ink saga from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan continues with a second chance romance sure to tug at your heartstrings.
When men in uniform showed up on Eliza Wilder-Strong’s doorstep, she knew her life would be irrevocably altered. She not only lost her husband, but the future she’d carefully planned. A year later, she’s looking to start over—beginning with a solo healing vacation. Only she never expects to see a familiar, tempting face along the way.
Beckett Montgomery refuses to want his little sister’s best friend—especially because she’s a widow. Yet there’s no stopping the connection between them. As the temptation to give in intensifies between them, so do the reasons they shouldn’t stay together.
Painful ghosts from both of their pasts stand in their way and sometimes it’s the living that can haunt you when you’re not looking.
Beckett Montgomery noticed Eliza’s beauty, but moved beyond that thought because she was married. After her husband’s death, he didn’t want to mess with the friendship she had with his sister or that he had built with her in time. But he is a helper and is always willing to jump in and help when someone around him needs it. Haunted by the one time he couldn’t help, his friend sends him on a vacation to help him reset.
Eliza Wilder-Strong has been a widow for almost a year. She is learning how to be herself again, making steps to find herself now that she is a widow. When she needs help, she leans on the Montgomery family, who have become good friends. As the one-year anniversary of her husband’s death approaches, she has some decisions to make and is starting to feel overwhelmed by her choices. Her brothers send her on vacation to give her some time to clear her head.
Two vacations planned by different parts of the extended families finds these two at the same resort location. Though they need the time away, they also recognize the comfort of a familiar face.
I loved watching these two lean on each other in ways they wouldn’t let themselves lean on other friends or family. They each had thoughts and feelings to sort out that they didn’t think those around them would understand. I always love when friends think they can blur the lines of friendship on vacation and then go back to “normal” when they get home. Watching Beckett and Eliza dance around each other upon their return was highly entertaining.
This story hit a little deeper than some of the other Montgomery books I can think of off the top of my head. Beckett and Eliza are both dealing with a lot of emotional trauma, and the way they process their pain says a lot about them as individuals and as a couple. The return to the Montgomery world was an easy one - each story stands alone so perfectly that I don’t have to remember details from previous books to be able to fall in love with each new couple.
