About this ebook

The Montgomery Ink saga continues with an unforgettable romance where two best friends make a bet that could change their lives forever.

Bristol Montgomery and Marcus Stearn have been best friends for so long, they sometimes forget when they weren't as close as they are now. While friends and family think there's something beneath the surface of their friendship, the two have always been steadfast in their stance on no heated looks or deeper feelings.

The problem? Years ago, they promised each other that if neither of them was married by the time Bristol turned thirty, they'd marry each other.

Even though both have long since decided never to force the other into an arranged marriage, circumstances and sheer stubbornness force them to refuse to back out of their deal.

Now, they're determined to get married—even as dangerous exes and feelings they deny, block their path.

Ratings and reviews

Book 3 Montgomery ink Boulder by Carrie Ann Ryan Bristol and Marcus have been bad since they were 6 but at Bristol’s 20th birthday they promise agree to marry each other if they aren’t with anyone by there 30th birthday. I love that they keep a close relationship even when they both go there separate ways and eventually end up back together again. Deep down inside I think they both had feelings for each other but never expressed it until Bristol proposal is over seen by family members and they have to up the fake engagement. While they were in fake engagement they get very close and very affectionate that surprised both of them. Absolutely love this author and this series.

Bristol and Marcus have always been best friends. The question wasn't their friendship but whether they could build more of a relationship from that friendship. I loved the natural closeness between Bristol and Marcus from the beginning. The fact that both their families got along was also a big bonus. As a couple they frustrated me with things I could see but I also knew that waiting out the challenges along the way would make the journey all worth it. I love that Marcus was always there for Bristol to balance her tendencies to work too hard and not enjoy life. Bristol was always cheering Marcus on in all his career. I love how the are figuring out their relationship without knowing they are already well into the relationship. This was a great story of friends to lovers to family forever.

This was a lovely instalment in the Boulder Montgomery’s series, and whilst there was unexpected mayhem, it was the captivating love between Bristol and Marcus that stole the show. This was in a word ‘nice’ as nothing else can adequately describe the beautiful simplicity of their love and devotion. Of course there are ups and downs, and anxious moments where they, like all of us, feel scared and don’t take the risk to speak their minds and from the heart; but that doesn’t overshadow the joy and happiness that seems to burst from the pages as these two characters continue their journey. A truly lovely love story!! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
