Sated in Ink by Carrie Ann Ryan

Tweet

Sated in Ink is the second book in Carrie Ann Ryan's series, The Boulder Montgomery's. This is also a triad of M/F/M, so if it's not your thing, I wouldn't recommend it. In this book we have Ethan Montgomery, his best friend Lincoln McClard and their new friend Holland Yeaton. Ethan is a work-a-holic that tends to forget literally everything, including to eat when he's at work. Lincoln is an artist that has a case of artist block. He's also the one who takes care of Ethan. He makes sure that there's food in his house so he eats and reminds him to be in the moment sometimes. Holland's life is a disaster. The day she was supposed to walk down the aisle, she found the man that was supposed to be at the end of said aisle in a room with her sister. I'll leave that one to your imagination. On one of their runs Ethan and Lincoln found Holland at literally the lowest point of her life. Sitting in her wedding dress with a bottle of alcohol in a brown paper bag in her hand. Such a cliche right? She hates being a cliche but there she was a walking and talking one. Ethan and Lincoln help her out and over time they all become friends. Over time the attraction between all three of them starts to fire like fireworks. It's an odd start because in a triad, everything depends on communication and Ethan is the text book definition of work a holic. He forgets and chooses work over them. It causes a lot of tension in a new relationship. Plus Lincoln's agent is being just plain weird. It's almost like he's jealous but all they had together was one night. There's no reason for the agent to be jealous. Holland has never done anything like this before but she quickly finds out that she really does love both of these men. It's going to take both Holland and Lincoln to get Ethan's head out of his butt to see what he has. It'll take Ethan and Holland to show Lincoln that no matter what happens they belong together. And it takes both men to show Holland that she deserves to be with them and that she's an incredible woman. Reading about a triad is different from a normal romance but it doesn't diminish the love that's there. I love reading triads when Carrie writes them because it's truly like fitting pieces of the puzzle together. They all truly love each other if you take one away there would still be love but it wouldn't be the same. They're all in it together and it's a beautiful thing. It truly is. Without communication though it can fall apart fast. I would recommend this book but if you don't like M/M or M/F/M then don't read it. This isn't the first triad she's written and I love how she does it. *picture from google
