Bittersweet Promises by Carrie Ann RyanMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Bittersweet
Promises by Carrie Ann Ryan is book one in the Montgomery Ink Legacy series and
boy is it a sweet one. The story focuses on Leif and Brooke. Leif is part of
the Montgomery clan, working in his tattoo parlous and getting on with life.
The only thing that is missing is a good woman, and that comes in the form of
former flame Brooke who moves next door to his cousin with her little boy.
Brooke and Leif met when they were younger and through some cross wires didn’t
meet up like they were supposed to, and both were left burnt by it. It is only
through meeting up again that the spark fly and their love for each other keeps
growing, but it may all be for nothing if Leif can’t overcome his past and
reach out and ask his family for help.
This is a
beautifully written story with moments of heartbreak, laughs and love sprinkled
throughout. The story is about two people who deserve to be together but
sometimes fate has other plans until she is ready. Brooke has been hurt in the
past and the most important thing to her is her child. Letting Leif in is a big
step for her, but she just can’t forget how he made her feel, both the good and
the bad.
Leif is a
guy who has been through a lot and questions his place in his family. Through
meeting Brooke and her son, he can see a lasting relationship, if only his past
wasn’t making an entrance. He definitely goes through an emotional
rollercoaster throughout the book, but his love for Brooke certainly helps him
to stand up and take what he wants.
There is
a lot of steam, fun times and family moments in this book. It is a really great
start to a series, and I can’t wait to read more about the other characters. A
really enjoyable read!
