Best Friend Temptation

by Carrie Ann Ryan

The Montgomery Ink Legacy series continues with a forbidden romance between two best friends and the woman they both crave. Ford, Noah, and Greer aren’t ready for what happens next.

I fell for my best friend long before I knew what that meant. Only I know he’ll never love me back.

He’s stuck in his head and his past demons and can’t see what is right in front of him.

But when Greer loses her home and needs a place to stay, both Noah and I know the only place she belongs is with us—in every way possible.

Now I’m falling for both of my roommates and trying to keep the people I protect safe.

Only someone is coming for them, and I can’t stop the inevitable fall.

I just have to hope that we made the right choices and that one day soon Noah and Greer will finally see who we can be.

Noah, Noah, Noah. You really know how to steal a person's heart. I loved Ford and Greer, but Noah really had me pulling for him. There's something about a man who doesn't see his value that gets to me: Noah brings so much to the table. Still, he feels as if he's not worthy of having either Ford or Greer in his life romantically, which is rather funny since his parents are in a triad relationship themselves how he didn't see it working for himself is fascinating.

I loved the chemistry that each couple had individually and in a triad. You can definitely see how well they all work together not only as friends but romantically as well, and I have to say that Carrie Ann Ryan did not skimp when it came to the heat in this book because it was HOT!

This story takes “it's complicated” to a new level. Ford and Noah have been friends, roommates, and business partners for some time. Add in attraction and occasionally act on it. They also both have feelings for Greer, and when she needs a safe place, neither denies her. Will they act on their feelings?

Noah grew up in a triad/poly household but could not see the same for himself. His insecurities are a big part of what is driving his decisions, but it is an interesting conversation that opens his eyes.

Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

This story truly is about the ultimate temptation of falling in love with not one but two of your best friends, but sometimes giving into that temptations can lead to the deepest and most profound love of our lives. Ford has loved and lusted after his best friend for years and recently added to that torture when Greer entered his life, but he hasn’t yet figured out hos to bring the two people he needs into his arms and bed. Noah wants so badly to have Ford and Greer in his life, but he doesn’t believe he is good for them, but when she needs a safe place to land he will be whatever she needs. Greer never imagined that Ford and Greer would be her knights in shining armor, but she can’t resist their help or their passion when faced with the truth. When they finally admit to one another their desires and decide to defy all the obstacles and have a relationship, the love that quickly blossoms is beautiful to watch grow, but with an enemy out to stop their love they have to watch one another’s backs even as they fall deeper in love. The passion between these three has been evident from the beginning of Greer’s appearance on the pages of Raven and Sebastian’s book, when Noah and Ford found it impossible to deny their feelings and she began daydreaming about both men, but the more time they spend together the hotter the fires of their needs. I loved every moment of these three deepening their friendship and finally admitting that they were meant to be together, even the trauma of an enemy trying to keep them apart. I am dying for more in the series and Carrie even sneakily brought in two new sexy families of hot alpha men (Greer’s and Ford’s brothers) who I understand will be getting their own sexy series. Ryan never fails to make me sweat in all the best ways as her lovers thrill and fascinate me, and Best Friend Temptation is a prime example of her magic touch with a story.

it’s not bad but it’s not good either.

[Liz · Rating 4 out of 5]

No one does triads like Carrie Ann Ryan so I was very excited to read Best Friend Temptation, the 4th book in the Montgomery Ink Legacy. You do not need to read the previous books, as each are about different couples, however, you do meet the characters in some of the previous books and I highly recommend them. Narrated by Jacob Morgan, Teddy Hamilton, and Desiree Ketchum, they brought Ford, Noah and Greer to life in all the best possible ways. Ford and Noah are best friends, roommates and work together. They have an underlying attraction they cannot deny or admit. When Greer finds herself needing a place to live, they open their home to her and now sparks are flying everywhere.

I loved Noah so much. He was such a good guy but did not see what others saw in him. Ford and Greer truly saw him and cared about him. At first they could not see what they could be together, but I loved watching them get to know each other and fall. Greer and Ford were caring and protective. Their journey was emotional, steamy, and suspenseful. I also love the coming together of the various families and friends, which this author does well. Could they figure out what they could all be together before it was too late? I am seriously loving this series!

Happy listening!

The coming together of the three families - the Montgomerys, Cages, and Cassidys - adds a heartwarming aspect to the tale, as they offer support and protection

Noah and Ford share a close friendship and living arrangement, but they both harbor deep romantic feelings for Greer and each other. Despite their strong connection, societal norms and preconceptions have prevented them from recognizing their true desires. It takes a special person to help them realize that what they truly want is each other. This Trio is HOT!

I found this story highly enjoyable, appreciating the intricate dynamics it explored. It skillfully balanced scenes with all the characters together and those in individual pairings, allowing us to witness the gradual development of their relationships. Additionally, the intriguing touch of mystery and suspense added an extra layer of enjoyment to the narrative.

Ford & Noah & Greer

Ford and Noah have been best friends and business partners for years. Noah has been in love with Ford probably for just as long.

Ford has feelings for Noah, but he knows they can't continue what they are doing it is just hurting both of them.

Enter Greer, they both liked her, and she liked them too only she thought they were together and not interested in her.
When shit goes down for Greer and she is out of a house the guys invite her to live with them.

BOOM - you know it. I love stories like this how they all talk to each other because it is a must to have their own relationships for it to work.

I loved it!
All the narrators did a fantastic job!

Full disclosure: this is the first time I’ve taken points away for not enough spice lol but I was stupid excited over an MMF narrated by Jacob Morgan and Teddy Hamilton…and was disappointed that there were only like 3 spicy scenes 🤷‍♀️ (also like the book before, there was a lot of repetition).

4.5 stars

Ford and Noah have been best friends and roommates for years. Being business partners as well, it was doubly important that they keep their relationship professional and without complication, despite the pull of attraction that has tempted them from time to time.

Greer found herself needing a place to stay after her rental became unlivable. It only made sense that she move into the spare room at Ford and Noah’s, except that she had been harboring a crush on both men as long as she’d known them and worked next door to their business.

As the proximity closes in, the three of them have to face the chemistry sparking from all sides, as well as the potential for more. I loved the way this storyline focused so much on the communication and bonds between the trio as much as the physical chemistry. They each had things they were struggling with, and watching as they grappled with how to let the others see their secrets gave an additional dimension to their relationship.

There were also some things going on in the background, from the cause of Greer’s house fire to the lingering guilt Ford and Noah felt over not seeing the danger that faced the Montgomery family from the last book. These additional threads gave some good outside conflict to the story and added to the angles I continued to sort through as I read the main romantic storyline.

Part of me wished that Noah wasn’t so quick to sacrifice his own happiness and question his place in the house. Even as he repeated his belief that Ford and Greer would eventually be a couple and leave him behind, I kept wondering when he would realize they wouldn’t be a couple without him in the relationship as well. This was a trio in every sense of the word - there was the relationship that included all three of them, but there were individual relationships between each side of the trio that were equally important to the story.

I loved the way the three families came together during the course of this book. The Montgomerys and Cages have known each other for years, as Noah and Ford were friends as children. But add in the Cassidys to the mix, and there were protective families at every turn. I can’t wait for more from this series (The Montgomerys), as always, but also the possibility of the Cages or the Cassidys getting spinoffs has me giddy with the potential!

I think what made this one fun was that the attraction was there between all of them, especially Noah and Ford, but all of them were scared to act on it. Not because they didn't want a poly relationship, but were more afraid of loosing the important friendship that had been built. It really took Greer loosing her home in a fire to put them on the path to more. I loved that with Noah's upbringing he had a great understanding of what was needed to make a relationship like this work and he shared that with Ford and Greer. Loved too, how everyone in their lives told them "Finally!" when they learned the 3 had taken the leap. I could have done without the drama towards the end, but even that served a purpose. It was nice to see these 3 living their lives happy.

Hopeful!!!

Noah Gallagher-Montgomery has always loved his best-friend and business partner, Ford . He knew that the latter would never love him because of his past demons and not being able to see what was right in front of him.

Ford Cage was having an affair with his best-friend, Noah Gallagher-Montgomery. He'd always loved the man, he knew that things between them couldn't continue like they were. Despite his feelings for Noah, he felt as if there was a piece of the puzzle missing for him to take that final step...giving him all of himself.

Greer Cassidy whom we've met in the previous book ( LONGTIME CRUSH ) was part-owner of the new bakery that opened next to Noah's family tattoo shop as well as his own security business. She had a crush one him and his best-friend, Ford, she even had some dreams about them. Ones that she would like to turn into a reality. She found herself needing a place to stay, she never expected to share a living quarters with the two men of her dreams. What was a girl to do!?

The three of them living together made resisting one another a wee harder than either one of them thought. Both Ford and Noah wanted her and vice versa. So when they decided to take that leap of faith, they never imagined that things could have been better than their wildest dreams. Someone from was coming after them with a vengeance, first Geer was put in danger then .

I loved how the Cages and the Cassidys were as overprotective as the Montgomerys were, seeing Ford's siblings being there for him was heartwarming the same could be said for Greer and her siblings. Those three had three powerful families in their corner and the enemy made one of the biggest and stupidest mistake going after them.

Catching up with Jake, Maya and Border ( INK ENDURING ) was a treat. Seeing that they haven't changed over the years warmed my heart. They were their same funny, loving and caring selves, Greer meeting them for the first time made me smile.

BEST FRIEND TEMPTATION is the fouth book in Carrie Ann Ryan's  MONTGOMERY INK LEGACY  series. It was fun, intoxicating, thrilling and oh so irresistible. Carrie Ann Ryan had me hooked from the first chapter to the very last one.

My review is written voluntarily after listening to the audio version of this book.

Noah and Ford are best friends, business partners, and roommates they have also been lovers in the past but despite their mutual attraction for each other they seem to have decided to sideline the sex and concentrate on friendship. Both guys are attracted to Greer, one of the partners at the coffee shop next door to Montgomery Ink. Almost from her first meeting with Noah and Ford Greer has felt an attraction to both of them together and separately but has made herself date other men believing that they were a couple.

But everything changes when Greer’s house catches fire and instead of calling 911 in her panic she hits redail and connects with the guys who dash over and rescue both her and Horatio, her cat. With her rental uninhabitable she needs a place to stay, and the guys insist that she take their spare room.

But living in the same house means that the three of them have to come to terms with the attraction and palpable chemistry they each feel but once they do the potential opens up for their relationship to be something lasting and meaningful. Fortunately, all three were willing to communicate and the bonds between the trio became so much more than the physical lovemaking and chemistry they shared.

Other things were going on in the background, what was the cause of Greer’s house fire, who was sending her primroses, a flower she disliked? Noah's feelings of guilt over not realising the danger to Raven etc in Longtime Crush all of which added to the richness of the storyline.

The narration of this book by Teddy Hamilton, Desiree Ketchum, and Jacob Morgan is excellent and I enjoyed how all three of them brought the characters to life. Desiree showed just how vulnerable, thoughtful and compassionate Greer was, and Jacob brought out all of the sweetness of Noah's personality as well as his vulnerability because of his belief that the other two would leave him behind and become a couple. Ford's confidence and protectiveness were there for all to hear as Teddy brought him to life. In short, the narration was perfect!

Welcome back to Colorado and the Montgomery Ink family…where the next generation is taking center stage.

Best Friend Temptation takes place shortly after Longtime Crush and is Greer, Noah, and Ford’s story.

Greer was introduced in Longtime Crush—she’s Raven’s best friend and business partner in the bakery that is next door to the Montgomery Ink Legacy tattoo parlor.

Noah works with family security company, and is the son of Maya, Jake, and Border (the original Montgomery Ink trio).

Ford Carr is Noah’s best friend, and a fellow employee in the security business.

Greer has a crush on both Noah and Ford…but doesn’t think anything would come of acting on it…as she thinks they’re a couple and she doesn’t want to get between them.

Ford and Noah….have feelings for each other…and are both crushing on Greer…

Men…especially when one is a Montgomery…have the tendency to over-think things…

Greer becomes their roommate after her rental house is set on fire and she needs a place to stay.

As they navigate becoming roommates and housemates…they all realize they want more—together.

Strange things then start happening…

Can the three of them figure out what is causing the strange (and sometime dangerous) incidents? Will they figure out that they’re perfect together? The answers and more are within the pages of Best Friend Temptation.

I always love returning to the Montgomery Ink world…it’s catching up with old friends and making new. This book was an extra treat—we got to meet Ford & Greer’s siblings…siblings that are probably going to get their own spin-off series…which means more sightings of Ford, Greer, and Noah in the future.

I also loved this book, because it gave a chance to catch up a little with Maya, Jake, and Border and see some of the other Montgomery Ink family members.

Five out of five stars. So, grab a cup of coffee, tea, or whatever; a comfortable chair, and a copy of Best Friend Temptation—the best way to spend a Monday night.

[Lisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

So this installment of this series was not what I was expecting but still an overall good read. In this book we get Noah, Ford and Greer's story and what a steamy story it was.

Ford and Noah -best friends since childhood, housemates and business partners have had a physical relationship for in an on and off fashion making any feelings that the pair have for each other a little complicated. The pair have issues with relationships and failure that they work through throughout this story and that is before we factor in the chemistry between them.

Enter Greer. She is a business neighbor to Noah and Ford's security firm and have formed a friendship with them. She has a fire at her house and gets assistance from Ford and Noah in the form of a place to live when she is left homeless from the fire. However, she is attracted to Noah and Ford and at first feels that what they explore is a temporary thing but later begins to feel like more.

While this is truple is exploring their relationship and attraction, Greer is having some unexplained things happen to her in both her personal life as well as her professional life leaving her confused but she did not expect who was behind it. Noah and Ford on the other hand are also dealing with professional issues with some difficult clients as well their typical family issues and that is before the twist at the end occurs.

So overall this was a pretty good read for me. I thought the chemistry between the characters was off the charts and the return of characters from previous series and books made it an enjoyable read. Also, the introduction of new characters makes me wonder what may come in future new series. The audio version of this book was an enjoyable listening experience. The narrators - Jacob Morgan, Teddy Hamilton and Desiree Ketchum made for an enjoyable listening experience. The three did a great job bringing this story to life. In the end I enjoyed this book from start to finish and would recommend it to others.

**Audiobook Review**

Ever since the teaser from “Long Time Crush”, I have been waiting for this story! “Best Friend Temptation” is a heartfelt, steamy and swoony friends to lovers MMF romance that squeezed my heart in all the best possible ways.

Noah and Ford are best friends, coworkers, roommates… and sometimes lovers. Their friendship is solid but what they could be with each other is complicated. And they also have an attraction to Greer, the owner of the cafe that is near their office and Montgomery Ink. Greer has also felt an attraction to both of them, separately and together. And when Greer’s house catches on fire and she needs a place to stay, they are there for her in a heartbeat. And as the three of them spend time together, the attraction grows stronger.

I was hooked from the beginning and loved this triad so much. I could feel their connection and chemistry as I listened. Greer is resilient, kind, and an instant favorite for me. Ford is such a great guy and someone anyone could be friends with. Noah though… he was so much to me. I loved how he always put everyone first and would do whatever they needed, even if that meant giving up his own happiness. But with Ford and Greer, he found himself and the people he was meant to be with. Carrie Ann Ryan wrote a beautifully balanced story of love, emotions and a genuine connection. I loved the added suspense thrown in with the fire and other things that tried to keep the three of them apart. The ending was so sweet and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Teddy Hamilton, Desiree Ketchum, and Jacob Morgan narrate this story and I loved listening to all three of them. Jacob was wonderful as Noah and brought all of his sweetness and vulnerability to life beautifully. Teddy narrated Ford perfectly with all of his confidence and protectiveness. Desiree brought Greer’s compassion and thoughtfulness to life perfectly. These three were the so great together and I can’t wait to listen to it again.

This was a fantastic read! I really enjoyed it! It pulled me in from beginning to end and held my attention the entire time. I loved Ford, Noah, and Greer. They are all drawn together but Greer thinks Ford and Noah are meant to be together and while she isn't sure that they are currently together doesn't want to get in the way. Noah and Ford have crossed that boundary but Noah keeps pulling away and it is never supposed to happen again and so they are dealing with issues and ignoring that. Noah and Ford know that both are draw to Greer so neither take that step with her. Noah has it in his head as well that Ford and Greer would be great together so he doesn't want to get in the way either. When Greer's house catches on fire and she ends up calling Ford and Noah, they come to her rescue and end up taking her in and have her live with them in the guest room which sets everything on course for them to finally make a move. I loved it when they finally made their move and starting communicating and building their relationships. This story was well written and hot while we watch these guys work through their problems and get together. There is action and intrigue as things seem to keep going wrong for Greer but not quite sure if they are connected or not. I really enjoyed this story and loved watching these three work everything out and all the hot sexy times they add. This is a triad relationship with all 3 involved sexually with each other.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I always enjoy a good MMF when done right.
And Ms. Ryan did it right!
Written so beautifully and so tenderly. While still being steamy and sexy.
I loved Ford and Greer but Noah stole a piece of my heart.
This is a story of falling in love with three people involved.
Ford and Noah have been best friends forever. They are also business partners and roommates.
There also also been a sexual relationship with them as well.
But it hasn’t progressed the way either has wanted.
Greer is part owner of the bakery by Ford and Noah’s security business.
When her home burns down she’s offered the spare bedroom at their home.
She takes them up on the offer. Which also complicates things because she has a crush on both of them. While unbeknownst to her they are also interested in her.
The three of them now living together has made the temptation so much greater.
And the resistance to stay away waning.
The chemistry is undeniably. Their physical aspect is off the charts hot.
While their connection is strong they still have doubts about their places in the relationship.
I loved getting to see the three of them learn to trust in each other.
And see them communicating and dealing with their struggles as a unit.
Getting to see their bonds strengthened spiritually and emotionally was so heartwarming.
It just made what they had so much more special.
While there is a budding triad love story developing there is also some suspense going on.
That makes the story more compelling and interesting.
I throughly enjoyed my time reading this beautiful story.

Best friends Noah and Ford run a security company, live together, and have at times, played together. While Ford wants more, Noah feels there’s something off about their relationship. Both men are also interested in Greer, who owns the coffee shop in their building and when Greer’s home catches fire, they offer for her to stay at their place. The sexual tension between the three soon ramps up and before long they act on it. While there are no speed bumps in the ménage à trois, Noah can’t help feeling he’s in the way. Meanwhile, further bad luck and mysterious gifts seem to plague Greer, messing with her business. Can the three of them save their relationship and each other?

This MMF romantic suspense book is part of the largely MF Montgomery Ink Legacy series but it worked fine as a standalone. I enjoyed the mystery which centres around Greer and the mild relationship angst which centres around Noah. I find ménage romances often focus on the three-way relationship dynamics but Ford was pretty chill and Greer was mostly preoccupied with her bad luck—only Noah had the headspace to really question things, so I felt he was the most relatable. I liked the author’s writing style and I’ll happily seek out any other MM or MMF books in her multiple Montgomery series. 🎧 Voice actors Jacob Morgan (as Noah), Teddy Hamilton (as Ford) and Desiree Ketchum (as Greer) all performed extremely well!

Greer Cassidy has just lost her place to live and needs to find somewhere to stay, lucky for her she has some good friends in her corner that are willing to open their home to her for as long as she needs a place to stay. The problem is that she has been crushing on both of them for some time now and knows living with him in spite of her little crush is going to make things difficult, especially since they don't feel the same way. Or do they?

Best Friend Temptation is a spicy little page-turner that is bound to keep you entranced from beginning to end. These three have it bad for one another, but none of them know what the other truly feels, which makes things quite entertaining. Watching them dance around one another and try to keep their hands off of one another really drove anticipation levels up. I loved watching them fall for one another and take their friendship into new territory, it was quite a steamy and emotional journey. One that touched my heart and left me with a permanent blush! Highly recommend you take a chance on this one, it's words will leave you thoroughly satisfied and it's characters will steal your heart!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.

Ford, Greer and Noah, wow this was a fabulous story. Full of angst, laughter and of course drama. I love that we get more backstory on Ford and Greer. The three of them have such an interesting dynamic together an apart. Learning about how Ford and Noah grew up together and all their crazy stories. Most importantly how they all interact with their crazy families. We get the Montgomery’s of course in all their crazy antics there’s never a dull moment always something crazy happening. Then we get to see Ford’s family and meet all of his crazy brothers. But I like also getting to know more about Montgomery security and all the other people that work in the office who are all characters in their own right. Greer she’s just always been this bubbly quirky highly caffeinated enigma and we get the peel back the layers in learn all about her past and it’s just interesting. And watching for Greer Ford and Noah find their rhythm and watching that relationship develop is a fun thing to watch they just have such a great dynamic. There are some bumps in the road, but they figure it out. They were meant to be together and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

I'm really enjoying the Legacy series. In this installment, Best Friend Temptation, Ford and Noah have been best friends forever, are also roommates and sometimes friends with benefits, although both seem to be struggling with understanding that aspect of their relationship. Noah is struggling after missing that one of the tenants in their office building had not been who he seemed and dealing with self guilt and blame over that situation. Both Ford and Noah are also very attracted to Greer, who co-owns the bakery/coffeeshop also in their building. When fate steps in and leave Greer needing a place to live, Noah and Ford take her in. What starts is a friendship that turns to more as time goes on. But with Noah's struggle over what happened recently, and Greer's past with her family issues, trusting in their relationship together is not easy.

I really enjoyed this story and all of the dynamics at play. There was a great balance between seeing them all together and also each in pairings and we got to really follow along as their relationship develops. There was also a bit of a mystery suspense going with this as well that I enjoyed.

So this is my first story that I read MMF genre. And it was a different one for me, to see how this dynamic would work. But I have to say I enjoyed reading how these three people came together and made their relationship work.

From the minute that Ford and Noah met Greer they were both attracted to her. But things are complicated. Noah and Ford both are in love with each other, but it seems that Noah cant get out of his head, that he can’t see how much Ford loves him and wants to be with him. But everything seems to be working exactly the way it should be. Greer loses her home in a fire and she moves in with Ford and Noah. And both of them can’t deny how right it feels to have Greer in their lives and in their home.

Now all they need to do is find out who wants to harm her and admit their feelings for each other…

This was such a good read to see how these three fell in love with each other, but also to see how they overcome their fears and how they work on their relationship with each other, but also their individual relationships. Loved their story, loved the characters and that ending, oh man I need the next book ASAP 😊

No one does triads like Carrie Ann Ryan so I was very excited to read Best Friend Temptation, the 4th book in the Montgomery Ink Legacy. You do not need to read the previous books, as each are about different couples, however, you do meet the characters in some of the previous books and I highly recommend them. Ford and Noah are best friends, roommates and work together. They have an underlying attraction they cannot deny or admit. When Greer finds herself needing a place to live, they open their home to her and now sparks are flying everywhere.

I loved Noah so much. He was such a good guy but did not see what others saw in him. Ford and Greer truly saw him and cared about him. At first they could not see what they could be together, but I loved watching them get to know each other and fall. Greer and Ford were caring and protective. Their journey was emotional, steamy, and suspenseful. I also love the coming together of the various families and friends. Could they figure out what they could all be together before it was too late? I am seriously loving this series!

Happy reading!

Audio book review.

This is a wonderful story that pulls you in right from the start. Ford, Noah, and Greer find themselves longing for what they think they cannot have. When things begin to unravel for Greer the men step in and the attraction between them all cannot be denied but something is not right and they mist figure it out before it is too late.
I enjoyed seeing the relationship between these three take shape, Each one has their own emotions to go through but soon they find that having the support of the others is just what they need. I loved seeing the relationships each person has with the others as well as all together. Noah and Ford are good together and adding in Greer just felt right. Not only did I enjoy the main characters but the supporting characters had a lot to say as well. I loved the deep friendships and family bonds that the characters have and the banter had me chuckling out loud. Their story is not only hot but sweet as well. Narrators Jacob Morgan, Teddy Hamilton and Desiree Ketchum do a good job of bringing these characters and their emotions to life and I was quickly immersed in the story.

This is Noah, Ford and Greer’s story. We got a glimpse of them in Raven and Sebastian’s book. Noah and Ford who are best friends who cross the line but refuse to talk about it and assume things. Greer is newer to town and assumes that they are a couple so she won’t interfere. People, people, people communicate!

When strange things start happening to Greer and her house burns down she is taken in by the friends. The trio decides to try dating but all have secret insecurities that threaten to end it before it begins. When her troubles keep coming and someone ends up in dire straights things come to a head and now there is no time to waste in finding out who is behind it all before it really is too late.

I enjoyed this book and the chemistry. I liked the fact that is wasn’t written as everything was perfect because that’s not believable. A poly relationship takes so much work and commitment and we see that here. I love this series and cannot wait to see the spin offs and next books coming from it.

arrie Ann Ryan’s Montgomery Ink Legacy series continues with Noah (the kid from my favorite OG Montgomery menage - Maya, Jake and Border), Greer and Ford working towards their HEA.

Greer opened a coffee shop with her bestie, Raven, but when her house burns down she turns to Noah and Ford for help. Noah and Ford have been hooking up but their relationship is up in the air because neither one wants to lose their friendship. When Greer moves in they realize she is their missing piece. Now they have to figure out if they can all be together, why accidents are happening and have some spectacular s$x along the way!

Best Friend Temptation made me so happy. Ford and Noah have such a wonderful relationship with struggles but when they were together it is fire! Greer balanced them both out, providing them both the stability they needed. I love catching up with the Montgomery’s and meeting Greer’s brothers who will be the main heroes of CAR’s next series, The First Time series, was fantastic.
