Review: Kiss Me Forever by Carrie Ann Ryan (Montgomery Ink Legacy #10)


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author.

How can we be ten books in the Montgomery Ink Legacy series already? I swear, it feels like we just started this newest spin-off in the Montgomery Ink book universe. Yet, here we are, and I'm not really complaining. This is more of me with a hint of dread in my head because this tenth book means we're this much closer to the end of the series. Sigh. Bring on all those bittersweet feelings! (Side note: I've got my fingers crossed that certain firefighting siblings will be getting their own spin-off series someday as well.)

Kiss Me Forever is an age-gap, work romance featuring Brooklyn Montgomery (31) and Reece Fox (41). She's the daughter of Storm Montgomery and Everly Law (Inked Expressions, book seven in the Montgomery Ink Denver series) and the landscape designer for Montgomery Construction; he's a former firefighter turned restoration builder for Montgomery Construction. Everly swore off men after her fiance died; Reece never saw himself getting married or having kids. Life, however, has other plans for them.

Carrie Ann Ryan has always highlighted the importance of family--both found and blood--in this particular book universe of hers. It's something that I appreciate, especially given how epic of a family the Montgomerys are yet continue to maintain such strong ties to each other. I liked seeing Brooklyn and Reece go from co-workers (although she was technically one of his bosses) and friends to much more and then them becoming a family with Bella left me happy. Five stars out of five stars for Kiss Me Forever.

Release Date: 08 June 2026

Note: This ARC was provided by the publisher via RockStar Lit PR in exchange for an honest review. Cherry Pie is the first book in Mercury Rising , an M/M contemporary romance series set in the town of Mercury, North Carolina and penned by author Samantha Kane. The series opens with the story of thirty-five-year-old retired game designer and millionaire John Ford and twenty-five-year-old former Mercury golden boy turned ex-convict Connor Meecham. They're two very different men looking for the same thing--home--but find even more. Having made millions creating a game that took gamers by storm, affording him to live more than comfortably for the rest of his life, and then losing his partner of a decade led John uprooting himself from California on the west coast to North Carolina in the east coast. For a year, he's been working his way through what locals call the Meecham House, refurbishing it in hopes of making it feel like home. Then he notices the young man acros...

Review: Him by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy (Him #1)

Image
Four years' worth of meaningless sexual encounters flash through my head as I break the kiss and slide down his body again. All those guys I hooked up with in the past...they're a blur. They're faceless. Sometimes they were faceless even when I was with them. I got off, they got off, but I wasn't fully present. I always held something back from them. Not with Jamie. I can't hold back with him, and never could. Holy book hangover. It's confirmed: there's something seriously wrong with me to have waited as long as I did to read this novel, though I'm counting getting it on sale as an absolute bonus. I get it now. I seriously and absolutely get why Him , the first book in the series by the same name from the writing tandem of Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, has received and continues to receive the stellar reviews and accolades it's gotten since its release in July of last year. I've read many an M/M romance novel and yes, I've read...

Make the Play (Nashville Rampage #1) by Kaylee Ryan Release Date: June 24, 2025 About Make the Play Corie Knox Beckett is heartbreak in a helmet. He’s also my brother’s best friend, and so far out of my league, he's untouchable. But a few stolen glances turn into a welcome home that blindsides us both. The rules are clear. We just chose not to follow them. Now we’re sneaking around like we’re running a trick play, hooking up behind closed doors, and pretending our actions don’t have the power to blow up our lives. Knox is under my skin and tackling his way into my heart. Ready or not, it's time we make the play. Knox She’s the last girl I’m allowed to want—my best friend’s little sister. She’s all grown up and looking at me in invitation. The second Corie crashes into me, with her tanned, toned skin, in a barely there bikini, I know I’m in trouble. I shouldn’t look. And I sure as hell shouldn’t touch. My hands are already on her waist, one second longer, ...
