I loved this novel! Kaylee Ryan is fast becoming a must read author for me. Ryan’s works have a cozy and comfortably to them that make me feel wrapped up tight in a warm hug. Are You Ready? Is a sweet and romance third installment in Ryan’s Everlasting Ink series and can easily be read as a standalone. Ryan’s tone is clear and joyful, her characters are enriching and her romance is low angst perfection perfect for a cozy evening of reading! I fell easily into this story and kept turning page after page, making this the perfect story to devour in one sitting. I adored this novel, these character and this world and I will definitely be reading the first two in the series and eagerly anticipating the next installments.
This is a single mother (Briar) and tattoo artist (Forrest) romance. These two meet each other because of Forrest’s sister and they easy fall into this intense chemistry between each other. Briar is a twin with two twin daughters who are fairly new to town and are finally opening themselves up to other systems of support. Forrest is a man who is ready to create an intimate family of his own that fills his home with laughter past that of his tight nit group. This found family romance is perfection, and deliciously sweet and subtle. Forrest is a true romantic, he is care and clear in his intentions and he is always making sure to take things at the pace that Briar needs and this just makes the chemistry between them sizzle. I love the relationship that Forrest builds with Briar’s daughters and almost from the first moment he sees them as his own. This novel is a warm hug in which found family, trust and understanding reign supreme!
Briar and Forrest are the perfect match for the other. Through soft moments, consent and bravery these two learn to ask and fight for what they want. Forrest is the perfect partner for his girls and he only wants them to be happy and healthy. Briar is a wonderful mom who is learning to trust others and welcome in new relationships. Kaylee Ryan shows the strength of community and found family and that you are only as strong as the support system around you.
I so highly recommend this novel and other works by Kaylee Ryan, her romances are bold and beautiful and are built on consent, trust and understanding. At the heart of each is a strong friend group that blossoms and grows throughout the series making them memorable and cozy.
