Now she's back in Holiday and ready to take over her duties...as well as deal with Jackson once and for all.

Apparently, I've been living in a cave. I had no idea about Carrie Ann Ryan. This series was crackalicious. The town of Holiday, Montana is a Mecca for the paranormal. The antagonists are completely one dimensional and the love is borderline insta. Ryan's writing formula was addictive. I couldn't quit these books.
Dreams of Ivory is the last in the series :-(. It's about the only single Cooper brother (the series is based around 5 brothers). Jackson Cooper is the town dentist. Years ago, he had a summer fling with Honor Bridges while she was visiting her aunt. She's back in Holiday to take on her duty as a tooth fairy. Jackson and Honor can't run from their attraction to one another. When a villain tries to hurt her by getting to him and she has several life threatening "incidents" happen, Jackson pulls out all the stops. HEAs abound.
* All of the Coopers and their wives make multiple appearances. I'd highly recommend reading the other books in the series before this one.

Jackson the last and oldest of the Copper brothers to marry is a watched man. He has no interest in the women of the town. Giving a cold shoulder to a lot of women gets around a small town, like Holiday. Holiday is a magical place. A mecca per say of magical creatures and people. Everything from gnomes, Santa executives, elves, leprechauns, ghosts, witches, banshee's and a assortment of others. So it is not surprising that the Queen of the tooth fairies lives there as well. Jackson's family has been a pivotal part of Holiday for generations. His other 4 brothers have all found wives and are started their families. All are part of the magical heritage of Holiday. He wants no part of it. As an orthodontist, he makes his money and lives alone and wants nothing to do with anything magical.
When Honor returns back to Holiday, she knows she has to go see Jackson. 8 yrs prior they had a summer fling, that neither wanted to end. Honor left with her heart broken and unable to start her tooth fairy job with her aunt Clementine, the Queen of the tooth fairies. Now back, the attraction is still there but will Jackson still want her after all this time? And when "accidents" start to endanger Honor's life, will they be able to find out who wants her dead before it is too late?
The magical town of Holiday, is a place I want to visit. Where all is possible and dreams can come true. If you have read the series, you know Jackson is doomed. Whether he wants it or not, his family has a magical heritage and he is destined to be part of it. Him and Honor, were meant to get together and fall in love a long time ago. The connection between the two is sweet and endearing. This is the last of the Copper men and Carrie Ann Ryan brings the Copper men together against a foe that endangers the family. Together they can defeat most anything and have proved that through these 5 books. Thanks Carrie for a series.

The fifth book in the Holiday Montana is more surprising than the others and introduces some very interesting characters to this magical town.
Even though his brothers have become part of the paranormal world, Jackson hates magic and wants nothing to do with marriage and babies. But he has to reevaluate when Honor, an ex-girlfriend returns to town and when he ends up protecting her from someone that didn’t want her to return he finds out that she’s one of the tooth fairies.
The author’s fascinating town just keeps getting more magical with each new addition. The story comes alive with a vivid details, an intriguing fast paced plot and enchanting characters that grab the reader’s imagination keeps it throughout.
The solution the author came up with for Jackson’s problem with everything magical is very interesting and enjoyable. Honor is a perfect match for Jackson, making their romance inspiring and clever. The reader’s imagination is sparked by all the enjoyable and whimsical characters in Holiday, Montana.
I found this book to be a delightful and fun read that was very entertaining from beginning to end with surprising twists and her unique take on mythological people is charming and creative. I can’t wait for the next story arc to begin and I am a little upset that I will have to wait until 2016 for it, but I am sure the anticipation will be worthwhile.

It is so bitter sweet writing this. Bitter because it is the last of the Cooper Brother story arc and I do so love me my Cooper brothers. Sweet because it was made of amazing, drizzled in awesomesauce and sprinkled with spectacular. Not only do we finally get to see Jackson's story, but we get to see more about all of those steamy brothers. I will admit it, there is one scene in this book that had me so filled with happy that I actually cried. Yep, real tears it was so amazingly wonderful.
OK, back to Jackson's story. I always had a soft spot for the eldest Cooper. Being the oldest, I knew he carried burdens the others could not understand. I did not, however, realize how deeply he convinced him self that this was how it should/would always be. Enter Honor, his "could have/should have been" from the past. Sparks fly, Jackson's world is changed for the paranormal, and adventure ensues.
If you love the Coopers as much as I do, you have to read this book. If you love hot romances, good teeth, broody males, and a super sweet ending, this book is probably the one for you. If you have not read the other books in this series, you will probably be fine reading this, but I enjoyed it so much more because I knew all the brothers and their background stories.

Jackson Cooper has intrigued me throughout the other 4 books. He is the eldest Cooper brother and wants nothing to do with magic or getting married. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on your view) you don’t always get what you want and sometimes that is the best thing that could happen to you. This is a terrific second chance romance.

Audio book review
Book 5 in the series. So far I’ve listened to the other 4 and love them all . Carrie Ann writes stories that will grab your attention and not let go till the very end . Carrie Ann likes to throw in every day life with a bit of a twist
Hero is Jackson. Heroine is Honor
Jackson is the oldest of his brothers and he is also a dentist . He also hates how all his brothers are taken , happily married. He vows that won’t happen to him . Not only that but all his brothers have fallen for a magical other half . Jackson doesn’t believe in magic . There is a reason he doesn’t want to get married, something that happened to him 8 years ago scared him . Jackson started falling for Honor but she just got up and left him . He doesn’t know why but not only that he just doesn’t trust women . Jackson gets a surprise when Honor shows up at his dentistry . Will Honor tell him why she abandoned him . Will Jacob still be the only brother left unmarried or will he also tie the not .
Gregory Salinas again nailed down this performance. His voice is strong , clear and he does all the characters perfectly

This is such an enjoyable story!! First off I loved the idea of the tooth fairy. I was curious how the author would have her do her job. I wasn’t disappointed. Second favorite thing is Jackson...his job fits in perfectly with the tooth fairy. He is also against magic and the only Cooper left not married. So you know...things are gonna be changing for Jackson. Thirdly...all the wives of his brothers!! They are simply adorable now that they are married. They also have certain grocery demands that their husbands ask Jackson to do for them. Peanut Butter never got so much attention.
Over all this is such a fun and delightful story. The characters made me smile. The story does have a little darker side but for the most part it’s light and fun.
I listened to this on audio. Gregory Salinas does a great job on this little holiday story.

Jackson has been known for being the grumpy Cooper brother for years. Then Honor comes back to Holiday, Montana and apparently she's here to stay. Jackson and Honor had a relationship in the past, but Honor had left to pursue her education. One thing that Jackson didn't know all those years ago is that Honor is a tooth fairy, and she will be training to one day take over as the Ivory Queen, the head of the tooth fairy organization. He cares deeply for Honor, but he will have to come to terms with her magic, which won't be easy for a man that hates magic and the effect it has had on members of his family.
Absolutely wonderful characters the are well written, compelling, sexy, and funny. Some suspense with some surprising twist in the plot, and a happily ever after. I think this is a fantastic series, and I couldn't put these books down. I loved these books.

I listened to this on audiobook, book 5 of a 5 book series.
So I wanted something light hearted, little funny and not too serious and this series and all it’s characters are definitely fitting the bill.
This has been a fun entertaining story throughout, enjoyed getting to know Jackson Cooper a lot more, seeing what makes him tick and seeing him finally find love in an old flame, namely Honour who just happened to be a tooth fairy. It was cute, light hearted with a bit of action, both of the naughty sexy action but also the nasty baddy sort of action too. All good fun.
So that was the last book to the series, it’s been fun for sure, have loved getting to know all of the Cooper brothers and being reacquainted with each of the Coopers partners whom are now wives bar Jackson/Honour obviously.

Probably my favourite in the whole series.
A dentist and a tooth fairy, a match made in heaven, except for a couple of problems. They have a past that hurts and someone who is not happy Honor has returned to Holiday.
Interesting turn of events in what happens to Jackson. Jackson is the eldest Cooper brother and the only one without any magical leanings. That is until a very disgruntled person turns him magical in order to hurt Honor.
Liked Honor, found her engaging.
The epilogue was amusing and sweet.
Jackson is the last Cooper brother but three cousins are mentioned so we may get more books one day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I LOVE THIS AUTHOR!!
Dreams of Ivory is a stunning conclusion to the Holiday Montana series. Jackson's reluctance to embrace magic and commitment, paired with Honor's return as a tooth fairy, creates a beautiful narrative of growth and love. Jackson’s tortured soul and Honor’s fiery spirit make them an incredible couple to root for. The conflict surrounding their past, alongside the external threat to their happiness, adds emotional tension. The final resolution feels satisfying and magical—perfectly fitting for a series finale.

The sandman and the tooth fairy. The things the get up too. The read gave more possible characters an opening to come to Holiday MT. Cooper connection to Holiday finds meaning. There was a lot more to Holiday than previously revealed.
Gregory did his job and relayed each character with clarity and distinction.

I really enjoyed this book, and the series as a whole. Jackson tried but, there's no escaping magic when you live in Holiday, Montana. The final Cooper man fell in love. I would have loved to read a next gen series about the Coopers.

I am not giving up on this author yet. But I will say that this was not a very good series to me. Sorry! Maybe the next one.

This is a really good series and this final story from Holiday, Montana had all the great characters and emotions as the first 4 stories, I'm glad Jackson got his story.
The narration was good

Dreams of Ivory Book #5 of the Holiday Montana Series by Carrie Ann Ryan
If you’ve been following this series you can almost guess by the title what the next Magic is. May not be a holiday but’s it’s needed all year round. But of Course the Tooth Fairy. I absolutely enjoyed this book.
Jackson Cooper 38 year old Dentist is the eldest of the Cooper brothers and the last standing as single. Jackson hated magic (yet was surrounded by it) had no desire to take a wife, was not into the kids scene. He liked being Uncle Jack’s just fine. But what none of his brothers knew was 8 years prior he me Honor Bridges while she was visiting her Aunt Clementine in Holiday. They had a summer fling but when Jackson started falling for her he cut it off at the pass. Never introduced her to his brothers and basically sent her on her merry way. But he never really got over her. Thus the reason for his broodiness, scowling facial expressions and his workaholic tendencies.
After 8 years away who shows up at Jackson’s dental practice none other than Honor Bridges. When his receptionist announces he has a visitor who asked for him by name, and when he inquires what the females name is he literally chokes on his coffee. After some brief bantering back and forth Honor leaves his office feeling less than welcomed. But that will not stop her project. She’s made up her mind to tend to unfinished business so she can move on and settle in Holiday. She has a responsibility that she delayed for 8 years and needs to step up to the plate. You see her Aunt is the Ivory Queen and Honor is a tooth fairy.
There is another in town that wants to see Honor gone and will do anything to make her hurt and leave. Even going as far as forcing magic on Jackson in hopes he will blame Honor and turn away from her. All this persons efforts fail miserably, and this is all I’m going to say. If I go further I’ll be giving too much up and I prefer the readers to enjoy all the little surprises as I did when I started reading Jackson’s story. But I have to mention one more little tid bit, I absolutely loved “The Mini Cooper’s” this was just too cute.
I’m sad that I’ll have to wait until 2016 for the “Second Arc of Holiday Montana” but I’m sure it will be worth it. I can’t wait. Carrie Ann I give this book a 5* rating for all the wonderful magic of Holiday.

Jackson doesn’t like magic or that his entire family has been touched by some sort of magical holiday being. He hates the idea of babies and such cause to him it isn’t something that he wants or does he? Oh, he loves his family just not the magic stuff or the hormonal pregnant women (yes, every one of the Cooper Brothers that are married, their wives are PREGNANT…)
Honor left town and her job as the tooth fairy eight years ago but it’s time for her to come back, the Ivory Queen (her aunt) needs her… But someone is out with vengeance plan against Honor, who is it and why?
The person that has the vengeance against Honor even breaks into Jackson’s home and turns him into the Sandman. How will Jackson react to this?
Honor and Jackson have a part of a passionate summer fling that happened eight years but was it more for either of them.
Though time has slipped their hands eight years ago, will they get back together or …?
My thoughts:
I found the book like the other books in the series, amazing and a magical treat to read. The book was both fast paced and page turning wanting to see what happened next for both Honor and Jackson.
The book can be read like a single like the other books in this series but it is one of those series that I recommend to read the first book in the series called Charmed Spirits to understand all of the characters.
Some of the quotes (or sections) that I enjoyed from the book would be:
“Tell me what else you want. You seem to be straightforward about that” “I try. What do I want? Well, I want us to be ourselves and try to be together at the same time. We’re too old for labels like boyfriend and girlfriend I would think. I’ve always hated the term lover since it implies that that’s all we are-good in bed. I always thought that we had more than that.”
“Are you okay to drive?” “Well, if you can drive with a second stick shift, I think I can make.”
“You’re a tease.” “True, but I am your tease.”
“I hate that word.” “Fine?” “Yeah, because fine means you’re not fine but you want me to stop bothering you about how you’re really feeling.”
As you can see the banter between Honor and Jackson is amusing and interesting.

Again, Carrie Ann Ryan doesn't disappoint! As much as I was itching and dying to read the final book in the Holiday, Montana Series, I had that sad feeling as it was the end of a great series! I had the opportunity to get to know the Cooper brothers and their significant others. This was a series that caught your attention from the very beginning and continued to make you want more. All the books were sexy, steamy, funny, whimsical, and had a different twist not found in PNR. The entire series read like a contemporary, but it was a PNR.
Jackson, what can I say. He is the one Cooper brother that didn't want anything to do with magic. He accepted it excited and that it was part of the Cooper family, but he was more than okay and even happier that it didn't impact him personally. He's a workaholic! He's the last available Cooper brothers and while the woman lust over him, he's not interested and has earned the reputation of well, being an ass. Why an ass? He doesn't believe in juts dating for the sake of dating and he's had to turn a lot of woman down. They talk. Oh well, right? We know he's not an ass and that's all that matters.
What we didn't know was that he did have a love and that his heart belonged to her solely. Enter Honor, one of the tooth fairies. Actually, she is next in line to be the Queen of the Tooth Fairies. After eight years away from Holiday, Montana, she returns for three reasons. One, she's opening a business in Holiday. Two, she's ready to take her place as a Tooth Fairy and fulfill her obligations. Three, ahh three is Jackson. Well, she "just" wants to let him know she's in town and totally over him. You can imagine what comes next regarding #3, right?
There are a few things that occur that change how Jackson thinks and feels about magic and the time he devotes to work. I won't give you details as they are spoilers and I don't want to ruin things for you. This final installment of the Holiday, Montana series doesn't disappoint.
Oh before I forget, there are few different HEA. That's all I'm saying!!!

This is the last book in the Montana, Holiday series possible the last if we can not convince her there are more stories to be told. Either way this is not a series you want to miss.

This is a wonderful series written by the extremely talented author Carrie Ann Ryan. If you like werewolves check out Carrie Ann Ryan's Redwood Pack as well.

Holiday, Montana, is a small town that is filled with folks that are touched with magic, and some that are not. Jackson Cooper, the eldest of the Cooper men, hates magic. Like, absolutely loathes it, and wants nothing to do with it. Which is problematic, because all of his brothers and their families are magical in some way. Enter Honor Bridges. Honor's Aunt Clementine is the Queen of the Tooth Fairies, and Honor is a tooth fairy herself. She and Jackson have a past, which refuses to stay buried when she returns to Holiday. Although they try to deny that the spark is still there, it comes roaring to life, stronger than ever. And when Honor becomes the target of someone intent on keeping her from doing her magical duty, things get messy and very dangerous.
It's no secret that I really like paranormal romance. And, when it's a really neat idea, well-executed, with great characters and an engaging plot, I am a happy lady. 'Dreams of Ivory' hits every one of these marks. The plot flows nicely, and, even though I hadn't read any of the previous books in the series, there was plenty of back story that filled in the gaps. The chemistry between Jackson and Honor is super-hot, making for some very steamy scenes. And all of the secondary characters, from Honor's aunt,to Sam the Sandman, to all of the Coopers, wives of Coopers, and mini Coopers, are wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the world of Holiday, and have every intention of going back to the beginning of the series so that I can meet all of the inhabitants of Holiday. Happily, too, even though 'Dreams of Ivory' is the last of the 'Holiday, Montana' books, Carrie Ann will be introducing an off-shoot of the series in 2016, which I am very much looking forward to.
