Publisher Description
Begin the Montgomery Ink series with three romances sure to fan the flames and keep you on the edge of your seats.
Ink Inspired – A Montgomery Ink Prequel
The moment Shea Little walks into his shop, Shep Montgomery knows he’ll do anything to win her heart…and get into her bed. Too bad the icy shield she puts up freezes any man who comes near. Shea has her reasons, and she’s not telling anyone, not even to a man who makes her want to swoon—something she’s never done before.
One touch can change everything; for these two, it’s only the beginning.
Ink Reunited – A Montgomery Ink Prequel
When the men from Sassy Bordeaux’s past come into her shop, she’s forced to face what she left behind and what could happen if she lets go of her pain and finds a future she deserves.
Delicate Ink – Montgomery Ink Book 1
One look at the woman who comes in for new ink and Austin Montgomery knows she’s the one for him. The problem: she can’t stand him. Now he’ll have to be his most charming and brooding if he has any chance of changing her mind…and claiming her heart.

Brilliant
Really enjoyed the whole set of books. Great story lines without too much emphasis on the sex.
Increasingly good books
Melissa Foster writes books with strong messages wrapped up in romance. This series surrounds the six siblings of the Braden family and their bevy of friends and relatives. The first book (Lovers at Heart, Reimagined) features Treat and Max and is about confronting brokenness from the past in order for it to not impact your relationships in the future. The second (Destined for Love) features Treat’s brother, Rex, and his feuding-to-friendship lover and neighbour, Jade, and illustrates the importance of family and forgiveness. The third (Friendship on Fire) features Treat and Rex’s brother, Josh, and Jade’s friend Riley Banks. Here the message is of proactively letting go of outside stressors so that they don’t influence or dominate your relationships with the people and family in your life, which are the only things that really matter. And about taking leaps of faith and doing hard work because no one ever really knows a person, including themselves in the future, because you’ve never been that person yet.
Generally, I like the messages she writes about and think that a sweet, almost idyllic quick-read romance is what every dreamer’s heart needs for a jump start. Underlying the stories, however, is a message about past loved ones speaking to us, through animals they loved and as a constant almost physical presence. If this theme is not for you, then these stories likely aren’t for you.
Melissa Foster captures the dream-like quality of romance where men easily identify their feelings and put their hearts on their sleeves quickly and eloquently. She writes about men of honour, diligence and firm character. She makes you want to get to know each of the primary characters who are strong and decisive, demonstrating an admirable way to directly approach issues, resolve conflict and move forward in relationships. What I like most about her writing is that the stories seem like they are about to wind down and be wrapped in a tidy bow and then a crisis comes that you didn’t know you needed; a crisis which needs to be resolved and in so doing it teaches the reader a lesson of importance that one would have missed had the story closed quickly and easily. It makes the writing an entirely new degree of layering.
Having read her more recent writings, the Whiskeys series, and seen the progression of these three novels I must say that her writing continues to improve. These, her earlier writings reimagined are idealistic and poeticize everything about love with a goal of describing heart-pounding, breath-stealing, earth-moving, forever and beyond kind of love. As her writing progresses so do her characters and responses in that they become more rounded and their reactions and behaviours more realistic. The earth may not move but your heart is warmed with the dream she writes about.
