Hidden Ink: A Montgomery Ink Novella (1001 Dark Nights) Kindle Edition

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan comes a new story in her Montgomery Ink series…  

The Montgomery Ink series continues with the long-awaited romance between the café owner next door and the tattoo artist who’s loved her from afar.

Hailey Monroe knows the world isn’t always fair, but she’s picked herself up from the ashes once before and if she needs to, she’ll do it again. It’s been years since she first spotted the tattoo artist with a scowl that made her heart skip a beat, but now she’s finally gained the courage to approach him. Only it won’t be about what their future could bring, but how to finish healing the scars from her past.

Sloane Gordon lived through the worst kinds of hell yet the temptation next door sends him to another level. He’s kept his distance because he knows what kind of man he is versus what kind of man Hailey needs. When she comes to him with a proposition that sends his mind whirling and his soul shattering, he’ll do everything in his power to protect the woman he cares for and the secrets he’s been forced to keep.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

5.0 out of 5 stars This a story of love and strength. Great Story

I have been waiting for this story since the series begin. Sloane is a tattoo artist and he and Hailey have been dancing around their feelings for each other for a long time. This was one complicated love story. Sloane is a vet. And he's always in his head with bad thoughts, he has PSTD from the war. He's a survivor who doesn't think he's worthy of living of course that's his secret. Hailey has no family her parents died in her teen years, and she's a survivor and boy does she have secrets to tell. This a tearful, powerful story of love and strength. Short but sweet I hope p to see more of these two in future Montgomery Ink stories, this story has not been completed there is so much more to tell Carrie Ann Ryan. I'll be waiting and reading

5.0 out of 5 stars You simply NEED TO READ THIS ONE!

I have been waiting for this story it seems like forever! I just knew it would be one of those hard ones for Carrie Anne Ryan to write and even harder for us readers to read. I was so right. Make sure you have your box of Kleenex handy when you settle down to read Hailey and Sloane's story. Please note this is a novella so it is not a LONG story but it is packed with so much emotion that it feels like a full size novel vs a novella.

If you have not read any of the other Montgomery Ink books you will be fine jumping in a reading this book but I have to tell ya, you are missing out on a great series of books from an amazing author. Grab them and get to know this family by blood and friendships. Hailey owns the Taboo, a cafe and bakery that shares a wall and door with Montgomery Ink where Sloane works. Those two have been circling each other for a long time. It is time they landed or flew away. Both are strong souls who have survived so much.... And we finally get to find out what and IF they land together or apart.

Hidden Ink IS my favorite Carrie Ann Ryan book of all times. I invite you to find out why I would give it 10 stars if there was a way to do so. It touches on so many things that we see every day in our lives and this books is just so moving.
Sorry I can not say more without giving the story away. You simply need to read this one folks.

As all of Carrie Ann Ryans books, you wish there was more. This was a story about Hailey and Sloane. Hailey is the owner of Taboo, which is next door to Montgomery Ink and you can enter through an open doorway between both without going outside.Both Hailey and Sloane have dark secrets from the past and they haven't shared their secrets with anyone. Hailey and Sloane like each other, but neither of them think they are good for the other because of their past. Hailey had breast cancer at a young age and has both of her breasts removed, but she did have surgery to put in implants. Sloane was in the military and has PTSD. After years of each of them liking the other and not doing anything about it, one of Sloane's clients started flirting with Hailey in front of Sloane and Sloane didn't like. They end up getting together and telling each other about there past and things move on from there. They end up falling in Love and have their happily ever after. One of these days I will need to go back and read all of the Montgomery Ink books again, starting from the first.

I received a copy for a honest review

Sloane is a tattoo artist at Montgomery Ink who has what I like to call the 4 B's: Big, bald, brooding, and the last B, Bearded!! Helloooo, total panty dropper!!!
Haley owns Taboo, the coffee shop next to Montgomery Ink that sells killer food made by her. She's super smart, super cute, and a unbeknownst to her chosen family, she's a survivor.
They have been quietly circling each other since they met, friends who want so much more but won't try. They each have their own fears about why they're not good enough for the other.
It takes another guy flirting with Hailey in front of Sloane to push these two together they way you can see they're meant to be.
From the start of the first date there is none of the normal awkwardness that comes with it, these two know each other's likes and dislikes. They clearly have been paying rent ugh attention, while tryouts no not to let the other see that they were.
Both characters are so real. From Sloane dealing with PTSD and Hailey having been through dealing with her own mortality at a young age, the scars they both carry both physically and mentally, they are your friend, a neighbor, family, they could be you!
Once the two get together and with the Montgomery clan surrounding them them with understanding and love, they talk about their fears and realize they belong together; two halves of a whole.
So glad these two finally get their HEA and this novella just wetted my appetite for more of the Montgomery family.

Warning : Tear jerker, do not read without tissue. This was a very good story but it is not a light read as there are alot of very deep moments in it. Hailey and Sloan have scars that are more than surface deep. They have loved each other from a distance for years, afraid to get close to another due to their scars. This can be reads as a standalone but better is read as part of the series.
I enjoyed this book and can not wait for the next.

I loved this story of Sloane and Hailey!!! They have been dancing around each other for the whole series!! Everyone could see their attraction to each other, but they weren't doing anything about it. It takes someone else asking Hailey out in front of Sloane for him to finally do something. I love these two together. They are both so broken, but together they make each other whole!! Love this book and this series!!

The story of Sloane and Hayley is part of the Montgomery Ink series and is a must read. This very deep thought provoking read will break your heart and then piece it back together with two very different forms of past hauntings that bring together this unconventional romantic read. Bravo Carrie Ann Ryan for writing a romantic story that has touched on difficult issues. Five star read.
