About this ebook

NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan continues the Montgomery Ink Legacy series with an emotional, friends-to-lovers romance where second chances begin with a promise.

I fell in love with the wrong man and learned the hard way to ask for help.

I don’t plan on falling again and have no intention of trying.

But when I get invited to a high-powered CEO retreat, I know I can’t say no.

And I can’t go alone.

When my frenemy, Nick, invites himself as my escort, I should walk away.

But there’s no stopping the connection we’ve both ignored for far too long.

Only Nick’s past is far darker than he lets the world know, and the shell he encased himself in is stronger than my own. And when the pain from my past comes back with a force, I’m afraid that walking away will be the only choice—even if it breaks us both.

At First Meet is such a sweet, heartfelt romance that takes you on a journey filled with all the emotions. I loved reading as Nick and Lake work their feelings and fears to come together- this was a fun, steamy and simply lovely story. The very end sets up for the next book in the Montgomery Ink Legacy series, which is sure to be an emotional one. That last chapter hits you with all the feels and definitely put tears in my eyes, which rarely happens when I'm reading. Can't wait for it!

This story is all sorts of emotions tangled together. Nick and Lake have a history together as sort of friends and business partners, though they fight a lot which is really just unrequited feelings. Nick has seen Lake at her worst and he is the first one to step up when she needs a friend, but their trip away soon turns into more than either of them expected. They have to deal with a lot of emotional baggage and life throws more twists and turns their way but they become stronger together.

This is the second book in Carrie Ann Ryan's MONTGOMERY INK LEGACY series; focusing on Lake Montgomery, daughter of Liam and Arden Montgomery (from WRAPPED IN INK). This book seemed softer and gentler to me some how, as we got to see these characters, who had grown up together, find their way. However, there was still plenty of intrigue and angst as well as chemistry. And the conclusion of the book will leave you stunned and gripped ready for the next instalment (tissues recommended).
