Christmas Montgomery Style!
What a nice way to catch us up with all of the Boulder Montgomery's.
All the questions you have will be answered. Who has kids, who's pregnant, will there be a Christmas baby or maybe a there will be a surprise or two. Gather around the Christmas table and celebrate with the family we have all come to love.

I would recommend reading this story after you have read the others in the series as it will have a ton of spoilers if you haven't read the other books already.

Happy Reading!!!

A Very Montgomery Christmas - So Good!

A Very Montgomery Christmas, book 4.9 of the Montgomery Ink: Boulder series/book 15.9 of the Montgomery Ink series by Carrie Ann Ryan @carrieannryanauthor. Carrie Ann is a fantastic author! I am reading the Montgomery world in chronological order from Carrie Ann’s website.

This was such a good novella about Liam & Arden. Ethan, Lincoln & Holland. Aaron & Madison. Bristol & Marcus. Francine & Timothy (Montgomery Parents). Tropes: Contemporary, Christmas, Male/Female, Male/Male/Female, Bonus Epilogues & HEA!

This was a very sweet and festive check-in with the four Montgomery children and their respective partners. One chapter for each, seeing where they are in life right now, what is going on, and how everyone is doing. We also get mama Montgomery as the perfect wrap up <3

MAGICAL!!!

OMG it was a wonderful pleasure catching up with the Montgomerys, their extended families and friends. I'm so happy that Liam, Arden, their babies and their family members got his HEA.

The mentions previous characters and appearances of new ones were a delightful treat. My heart was overwhelmed with happiness for the Montgomerys as well as with their loved ones.

A VERY MONTGOMERY CHRISTMAS is a novella in Carrie Ann Ryan's MONTGOMERY INK: BOULDER series. It was fast-paced, heartwarming and exhilarating. Carrie Ann Ryan did a magnificent job. 5++++

I smiled the whole time reading this

Don’t buy this if you haven’t read the Montgomery Boulder books, but if you have this is a must read. All of Carrie Ann’s book feel like visiting you favorite relatives. Seeing these characters about a year after the last book was a wonderful Christmas present.

How do Montgomery's celebrate Christmas?
With a lot of love, a lot of fun, a lot of chaos and a bang! That's how.
I adore the Montgomery's and yes I adore Francine the most. That woman has a heart as big as the world and it's overflowing with love.
Thank you for a lovely and happy book.
And that name? I adore it x

Merry Christmas!

Carrie doesn't disappoint as she pulls out a fun, multi-epilogue holiday story.  I love how we get a little bit more of the whole Boulder Montgomery clan!  As this wraps up in Boulder, I can't wait to see what comes next in Fort Collins!  Merry Christmas everyone!

I loved this cute little novella! Loved catching up with the Boulder Montgomery's. I can't wait for the Fort Collins Montgomery 's. Carrie Ann's books are always such good reads. And the Montgomery books are some of my favorites!

Christmas perfection

Can’t go wrong with a Montgomery book.
Lovely little round up of the Boulder Montgomery kids and their lives that have moved on slightly from where their individual stories had finished. And all wrapped up in Christmas makes it perfect.

Christmas is a time to catch up with those you haven't seen in a while and to bring in some new additions to an already established family. This was a wonderful way to get back into the Montgomery Family!!

What a wonderful way to add a little extra to the world of the Montgomerys. With each chapter dedicated to a different member, they all blend together to give us a charming update to the never ending journey with this amazing family.

A Christmas with the Montgomery family, where there are basically updates on lots of the couples. And a Christmas baby. Sometimes conversations are hard to follow and if a reader has missed part of the series, they’ll be a little lost. Still, it’s a nice concept.

I read this as part of the "Merry Meet Cutes" Holiday Anthology.
It was a miss for me because I have no idea who these people were and what was going on. I'm sure if you've read the books you would love it. I ended up skipping it.
