JAGGED INK (Montgomery Ink: Colorado Springs Book 3)
By Carrie Ann Ryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
JAGGED INK is book 3 in the Montgomery Ink: Colorado Springs series. It follows the Montgomery siblings and it can be read alone though you may want to start at the beginning for more backstory!
Roxie Montgomery is the youngest of the family but she was the first to get married. Carter Marshall thought he’d be married forever to Roxie. Yet, he finds them drifting farther apart day by day. Roxie and Carter are learning that sometimes, love is not enough to keep a marriage strong.
I’ll preface this by saying that the marriage in trouble trope is not my favorite kind to read because I enjoy the buildup of a new relationship so much. So, if I read a story about two people already in a committed relationship, I need a LOT of background for them in order to feel that connection. Unfortunately, I think the first half missed that mark. Don’t get me wrong, I cried like a baby because Ms. Ryan did such an excellent job describing the agony of seeing your life slip through your hands. I truly felt that angst in the pit of my stomach. But past that emotion, it took me awhile to figure out WHY they were breaking up. There were hints but the real reason took a long time to be revealed. The second half of the book was more my cup of tea as we got to watch Roxie and Carter rebuild their relationship.
Overall, this one may not have been my favorite from Carrie Ann Ryan but it’s still well written and full of angst, emotion, drama, some swexy romance and fabulous characters. Told from dual POVs with a happy ending. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
