Publisher's Summary

New York Times bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan returns to the Montgomery Ink world with Nothing but Ink.

Clay Hollins knows he needs to stay away from Riggs Kennedy. He doesn't have time to fall for the bearded bartender that haunts his dreams and waking fantasies. Not only is he working long hours at his dream job with Montgomery Builders, but he’s raising his three cousins and they need him more than he needs a private life.

After one night of giving in, however, neither Riggs nor Clay can walk away.

Only their lives are chaotic with baggage from Riggs’ past and Clay’s present and taking a chance on each other might be the scariest yet best decision they ever make.

**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.**

This is not a story

First let me just say that the narrators are fantastic but even "Jeddy" can't make a story out of what is essentially a .... epilogue/summary/check in for what I assume is the authors others books. I haven't read ANY of them which is likely why I feel completely at a loss as to why this is even a "book" . There's two main characters but we don't get hardly ANY details of their lives or feelings or development of the relationship . There's an outline to what could very possibly be an in-depth story but all we get is a couple of sentences .... A Whole chapter about a "meeting" with other characters about the issue with Riggs' ex - but no explanation as to WHAT the legal issue is? What the hell? Even though this cost only a couple dollars I regret spending it even for Teddy & Jacob

Riggs and Clay have known each other for a while. They knew each other in high school and had shared some special moments together. Now, years later, they are both grown up, Riggs owns his own bar, and Clay is a single dad to his three cousins. After giving in to their desires for one night, Riggs and Clay both start hoping that maybe now may actually be their time.

Riggs and Clay stole my heart from the very beginning of the story. They are both have had some rough times and dealt with heartache and pain but when you put them together they are fun, entertaining, and you can feel their connection right away. Clay's kids will have you smiling and laughing out loud.

Another amazing performance by Jacob Morgan and Teddy Hamilton. They not only brought the story and characters to life but they have truly solidified their place as my favourite mm narrator pair.

Nothing But Ink is an mm, single dad, second chance romance told in the dual first-person point of view ending in a happily ever after.

Completely Biased

Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan are my two favorite narrators so this was a no-brainer purchase for me. They did not disappoint. This story was so sweet with just the right amount of heat and angst for a novella. Mt only complaint is I wish it was a full book. Five stars all the way around.

Enjoyable!

Grabbed this because it's my absolute two favorite narrators. It was a nice, sweet story that I wanted to be a bit longer to get the full feeling of their relationship.

I loved it!!

Who wouldn't love 2 growly hunks with kind hearts, beautiful souls, and a soft spot for women and children? Riggs and Clay make such a perfect couple. It was the best bedtime story and makes me excited to see them in other Montgomery stories.

A new beginning

Clay comes with some baggage, Riggs has some too.
I enjoyed this story as two star crossed lovers reunite and manage their lives and work.
This was a novella, or shorter story, It was great
I would definitely recommend as there was love, beloved Montgomery family members and all kinds of problems thrown in the way..
I would definitely recommend.

Never forget your first love

When you inherit three children and run a bar you don’t have time for anything else. When your ex-husband walks into your bar you think your life can’t get any worse. Then your victimized by your ex you really learn who is willing to stand up for you.

short and sweet

Great quick listen that features the MM pair we love the most. Short and sweet and could have been sooo much longer. love the Insta family and all the love they share. its really a perfect short listen... well worth your time to listen.

mature characters

A great novella with amazing narration by a favorite duo #Jeddy. The characters were mature and dealt with complicated issues.

Sweet Swoon Fest

What a swoon fest! I loved that Riggs knew what he wanted from the beginning and never wavered, knowing Clay was a single dad raising three kids. Clay's kids are amazing and quickly put any doubt to rest. Yes, there are ups and downs, but with a family as large as the Montgomery's, Riggs and Clay have the support system they can rely on.

Jacob Morgan and Teddy Hamilton gave excellent performances and their kid voices, esp. Jacob's are phenomenal.
