Delicate Ink (Montgomery Ink Book 1)

I admit, I liked this more than I thought. Despite the errors in the text, I was able to overlook them and continue with the story. My biggest peeve is that the cover has nothing to do with how Austin is described. He's tall, with a beard, and his arms are completely covered in tattoos, or sleeves. The model on the cover looks nothing like him. In all, I enjoyed it and hope to continue with the series.

Two troubled souls Austin and Sierra find themselves together, yet the story line is confusing. Sierra and Austin's first meeting is not the best as Austin is rude to her. She has lost her lover in an accident and wants to cover the scars from that event. Austin's rudeness is not something she overlooks. Can the walls come down and a relationship develop?

Received an arc copy for an honest review, but also purchased a copy

This was an awesome book Austin and Sierra are definitely a couple you have to love. They had so much baggage and were literally perfect for each other. I loved the many layers of the Austin and Sierra together and separately, they were a match from the very beginning. Great read loved every page of the book.

Bad boy image, loner status, family trauma and drama, makes this read so delightful. Finally growing into a supportive relationship between them, throw a young son he did not know , finally admitting his devotion cement this bond. Delightful bit of kink.

So when I first started this book I was confused. I wasn't sure if this was a story about the whole Montgomery family or just about Sierra and Austin. After about chapter 5 it finally started to match the synopsis. Sierra and Austin are meant for each other, Sierra doesn't take any of his crap and he finds that refreshing. The ending was absolutely lovely, I'm still smiling

I loved Delicate Ink!!! Austin is a hot tattooed alpha. Is there anything better? Not in my opinion. I think he and Sierra have great chemistry and some hot sex scenes. I loved this story so much and the introduction to the Montgomery clan. This book can be read as a standalone, but hopefully after you read it you will be like me and looking forward to what comes next.

Witty characters and a good plot made this book enjoyable. I also loved that you did not have to go back and forth with POV. If you enjoy strong family ties this book is for you. A great read and a job well done by Carrie Ann Ryan.

I really liked how this book not only had chapters about them, but there were a few chapters dedicated to other family members. So Sheps book may be finished, but his story continues in this book as well. The Montgomery family is awesome and when they all get together is a great read.

Sierra might not be his type, but Austin wants her and she sure wants him. It's a story with passion, jealousy, secrets, twists, turns, memorable characters and some surprises. It is a great beginning to this series.

This book is so poorly written and thought out. I kept reading hoping it would get better and it just continued to disappoint. Way too many plot lines, characters, no true sequence of events. Very hastily written with poor editing. Skip it. It was free and for that I'm thankful.

I really liked and enjoyed this book. I really loved the character of Ella and how she was super strong even though what she went through. I also loved the character of Lance and how he would do anything for his daughter even if he meant destroying his body. Really a good series, the only MMA fighter series I have enjoyed this much. Can't wait to read more.

Delicate Ink is Austin and Sierra's story. I enjoy the close family dynamics that the author has created with the Mongomerys. Carrie Ann Ryan's writing sucks you in quickly and you really care about the characters. Oh, and the sex is hot. Very mild BDSM, not over the top. At times she describes what has happened in a scene after the fact instead of while it is happening but not as much as the previous book. I will definitely continue reading this series.

I LOVED all the characters, Austin, his "too close for comfort" family. Sierra and her courage to start a new life and share her "baggage" w/Austin. I Love the family connection and how they accepted Leif...first Sierra then Austin. I LOVED the side stories of the siblings, friends in the shop and next door has me salivating for their own book. I love Carrie Ann writing ..... looking forward to her other stories of the Montgomery Inks

I really enjoyed reading this book... Carrie Ann Ryan didn't disappoint me in the least. She worked a lot of factors into the story but I thought she was able to pull them together pretty well. Just like in life there was at least one area not completely finished but the main issues were covered and this is the first book one series and only one story was told. An ARC for a honest review.

The strength in both characters is awe inspiring. I love this books story line, flow and characters. I fell in love with all the Montgomery's and will continue to read their stories.
You will love Austin for is strong alpha ways, but also the soft loving caring side he shows his family.
legs well wow you will grieve for her, cheer for her, and love her
Worth the read

This book was good. I would have liked alittle more depth to the BDSM parts but understand that it was their "kink" that was small. Having some chapters not about the main story was also a bit distracting. I would recommend this book to someone who wants a taste of BDSM without the hardness.

I loved this story involving the big strong Austin and the bold but soft Sierra. Each character has an important role in this story and many others from this author. I loved this story right from the beginning when Austin shows what he likes in the bedroom but still needs a strong partner to kick him in the butt. To stop pouting and support those important to him. :) Donna

This is gonna be a good series. The Montgomery family is close but has their individual problems like everyone else. You can tell the closeness of their relationships. I like the way Austin's story unfolds and how it sets up their future and starts giving u background on the other family members to set up the other books. So excited to keep going.

Overall I enjoyed this book. Just focusing on the main characters and their issues with each other would have been good. Unfortunately there were too many conflicts going on that made things a little unbelievable. They were mentioned and then resolved without a lot of exploration.

Be calm as you commence this well written book. More than likely your First Opinion of the characters involved in this great story will change.

I venture your entire attitude of tattoos will change.

The beginning of an absolutely, wonderful series! So much depth to the characters and sub-characters. Can't wait to get hear their stories. You can't miss being grabbed and suck into the stories this author writes.

If I was 20 years younger you would be seeing running to the nearest tattoo parlor!

Austin Montgomery co-owner of Montgomery Ink falls for Sierra Elder owner of the new boutique across the street, Eden. She's not looking for anything but a tattoo. What she finds is so much more. Their attraction is immediate but they fight against their pasts to find their HEA.

Loving this series. Sierra and Austin meet, she owns a boutique and he owns a tattoo parlor. They both have pasts, and Sierra has scars that she literally, would like to have covered up. This is a good read about family, friends, and love.

Where to begin? This is a wonderful book. The plot is well crafted. The characters are engaging and fun. She manages to combine a sweet love story with great sex, pathos and hunor almost effortlessly. She also makes me want to read the rest of the books in this series NOW.

If you've never tried one of her books, read this one. It's fantastic

A little rocky start to the Montgomery Ink series for me. I liked this book but was a little overwhelmed with all the different obstacles Austin and Sierra were faced with. There just seemed to be a lot going on at once and some of it didn't feel completely cleared up for me. There were also a few things with other family members that I didn't really think went with the flow of Austin and Sierra's story. Overall though I enjoy this book and look forward to the next book in the series.

Austin Montgomery is a bad-ass tattoo artist. Happens to have a stalker ex-girlfriend.
Sierre Elders is trying to over come her painful past. She is starting over in a new place with a new business and wants to get her first tattoo
Their chemistry is HOT!!! Their relationships has a few twists and turns.
Love Carrie Ann Ryan and this book did not disappoint.

I love this new series. I had read her paranormal and loved them. I was not sure of I would like her in contemporary I usually only read 1 genre of book per author bit thought maybe I should give it a try. So glad I did the story is excellent. Give it a shot today.

Austin and Sierra seem like an implausible couple. She has a difficult past that she's trying to cope with, and he's a bit hard around the edges. But when they come together, sparks fly. Even as it seems to be a HEA, both of their pasts rise up to meet them. Can love really conquer all? Great read, wonderful writing.

One of the earlier Montgomery books I had missed! What a pleasant read. This book includes all the basic elements, hot guys. Loving family, girl in distress, more past drama to overcome, hot sexy scenes. What more could you ask for? Alls well that ends well. Carrie Ryan certainly produced a family to write about and they all are goo!

Delicate Ink is the first in the Montgomery Ink series. It focuses mostly on Austin,the eldest Montgomery sibling, and Sierra, his love interest. However, you meet the entire Montgomery clan and then some (they like their strays).

This is a romance with a little BDSM thrown in, which is apparently a lifestyle choice of many of the Montgomery siblings and their friends.

Okay, I'll be honest...I didn't like this book. There was just too much going on. If the author had focused solely on Austin and Sierra I would have been fine. But, she added chapters about one of the cousins and his wife, one of the sisters and even Austin's best friend. Sure they are all close or family, but why throw them in as almost an aside when it didn't really add to the story. I don't know. Maybe it's just me.

Just too much going on for me.

Despite a rough first meeting, Austin and Sierra are drawn to each other. Their relationship is put to the test a couple of times, but they are determined to make it work. I really enjoyed the closeness of Austin and the rest of the Montgomery family. This is a wonderful romance that sizzles.
