About this listen

In the world of romance, Aria Montgomery knows two things for sure:

She’s not in love with the man everyone thinks she is.

And she refuses to let herself love Crew McTavish.

Her former best friend is spiraling, and her photography career seems to be standing in her father’s shadow. Aria knows she needs to find her way out of the darkness. Yet she’s afraid if she allows Crew inside, he’ll not only take over—but he’ll get hurt in the process.

Crew McTavish enjoys being the mysterious friend of the Montgomerys. They may joke that he’s dating his way into their family one-by-one, but in the end, it’s only one Montgomery he wants: Aria.

Their pull to one another is inevitable and once a line is crossed, the heat between them ignites.

Only his family’s dark secrets threaten to pull him down and when Aria is threatened, Crew will stop at nothing to protect her.

Even if it means watching the world he’s built burn.

**Accidentally Forever is a next generation, protector, enemies to lovers, best friend’s ex romance in the Montgomery Ink Legacy series featuring Aria and Crew. Each book can be listened to as a complete standalone. An HEA is guaranteed!**

Aria Montgomery is Alex and Tabby’s daughter from Ink Exposed.

Little Bit of Romance, Lotta Bit of Drama


Aria and Crew try to tell themselves they hate one another and are “just friends”. Yet in reality they can’t keep their hands off of one another. They keep things from one another thinking they are keeping the other safe, but they really need each other to get through the hard times. Can they admit that they need one another or are they going to suffer through the hard times? It’s a little bit of romance and a lot of bit of drama!

Accidentally Forever

First. I love the relationship between Crew and Lex. The way they are together and how they keep everyone on their toes is perfection. Second. I love Aria so much but I hate that she compared herself to her father so much, but I love Alex. He was my favorite OG Montgomery, so it doesn’t surprise that I loved his children’s books as well. Crew and Aria got put through the wringer but the story was amazing. I loved every moment of it.

Excellent

Carrie Ann Ryan never fails to deliver an emotional story. Accidentally Forever was emotionally intense in all the ways I didn’t realize I needed. Crew and Aria overcome many challenges to get to their happily ever after.

Crew McTavish i’ve been a friend of Montgomery for years. One of his very dear friends is Montgomery and there’s a random joke among them he is trying to marry his way into the family. Crew personnel story is not an easy one, but the Montgomery’s accepted him when he needed a place and a family. Most of the Montgomery clan believe that Crew and Aira couldn’t stand one another, forever what he feels is very, very much the opposite of disliking someone.

Aria Montgomery is a brilliant photographer. She is so strong and has the biggest heart. She cares on a level that is soul deep. She has a best friend that is in a very rough spot in our lives yet she just won’t turn them away. She won’t help enable, but friendship means a lot to her. When that person hurt her physically, Crew was in the right place at the right time. It started a team reaction that maybe two finally can hunt their feelings and not just stolen nights of promises that it was never gonna happen again.

I have been reading Carrie Ann Ryan for well over a decade now. I can vividly remember when she announced the Montgomery Ink series. Ten years later the Montgomery family is still growing and I am falling in love with the next generation. Accidentally Forever gives us the emotional, enemies to lovers story of Crew and Aira. These two have been dancing around one another for far too long. A few stolen moments here and there left them running more even though they said they didn’t. Carrie Ann Ryan very eloquently talks about sensitive topics that need to be talked about. Aria and Crew will take you on an emotional journey, but a little bit of going down the path because you definitely worth it.

Aria and Crew. Amazing!

Absolutely perfection! I couldn’t get enough of Aria and Crew. They have been friends forever and Crew and honorable Montgomery at this point has only had eyes for Aria for a while but unfortunately she’s not really noticed with everything going on in her life until now.

Overall, I was thrilled to get their story it was spicy and included an HEA.

Emotional and steamy

I have been waiting for Crew and Aria’s story. “Accidentally Forever” is a emotional, steamy and chemistry filled enemies to lovers romance that was a great addition to the series.

Crew and Aria have always been attracted to each other for years but have always denied it. Crew is Aria’s best friend’s ex and despite being close with the Montgomerys, he’s always been a mysterious friend to them. They’ve tried to stay away from each other but when Crew goes to Aria’s house and finds someone close to her hurting her, all bets are off. Despite Crew’s dark past, he can’t stay away from the light that Aria brings to his life.

Crew and Aria have undeniable chemistry and it was nonstop from the start. Aria is sweet, genuine and knows what she wants in life. I love how passionate she is with her career and close with her family. Crew is a great guy who had a hard childhood with parents who made it very clear that they didn't want him. My heart broke for young Crew but he found a family with the Montgomerys who are always kind to everyone. His passion for his art shines through and I loved how he made something of himself despite his horrible parents. I loved the passion and chemistry that Aria and Crew shared. The steamy scenes were so good and showed how much they were meant to be together. Crew is so swoony when he becomes protective over Aria. Her kind heart is one of the best things about her even when someone she cares about tries to hurt her. That part of the story had me listening nonstop to find out what was going to happen. The ending was so sweet and I can’t wait for the next Legacy book.

Oscar Reyes and Lucy Rivers narrated as Crew and Aria and they were so good. Oscar’s narration was growly, protective and genuine just like Crew. Lucy did an amazing job bringing the wonderful, sweet and caring Aria to life. Oscar and Lucy were great and I loved listening to them narrate this audiobook.

Love love LOVE Aria and Crew

Ummm, wow, ok, getting my thoughts together on this one. I love love love Aria and Crew. Their unique connection that simply won't let go is something special. I really enjoyed the inner thoughts of these characters. The complications of them being together but also what they have going on felt like a lot but the way they work through it and the way they worked together was beautiful.

Aria's story is finally here

Accidentally Forever is book 8 in the Montgomery Ink Legacy series and we finally get Aria's story.

Aria is a Montgomery who has seen a lot in her young life. Everyone thinks she is in love with Travis, when in reality she is secretly in love with Crew. She and Travis have had a tumultuous relationship for years including verbal assault and ending with physical assault.

But Aria is not able to give up on him. She saw what her father went through during his battle with addiction and she wants to be there for him if he needs her. He will need the support of friends and family and she wants to be the one to help him.

Crew comes from a dysfunctional family. His mother and father are verbally abusive towards him and each other. This family is completely bonkers and both his mother and father should be in padded cells. How he turned out to be so normal and caring is beyond comprehension.

Crew does not understand why Aria keeps going back to Travis until she tells him about her dad. He does not like it, but he gets it. She does not understand his relationship with his family. Until she goes with him when he is called to the facility his father is in one day.Her eyes are open wide to what he has lived with for his entire life.

As Crew and Aria grow closer together, strange things start happening around Crew's home. He is concerned and calls in Montgomery Security, but he is not overly concerned. Until the day when he is left waiting for Aria.

What will Crew find when he locates Aria?

This is such an emotional book. Carrie Ann Ryan broke me with this story. It combines so many storylines that are generally frowned upon, but are real. They are everyday problems in people's lives. These stories need to be told. Addiction, abuse, assault. These happen everyday to some poor person. And, sadly, it is usually a family member, or someone very close to them. Kudus for taking on these difficult topics.

It has been so long since I have listened to Oscar Reyes, but I really enjoyed him as Crew. His frustration with Aria's need to be with Travis. His animosity towards his parents. His love for the Montgomery's, the family he chose. Lucy Rivers, as Aria, brings all of the passion this story requires. The need to help. Her secret love for Crew. Her vulnerability regarding her art.

....a wild ride that never backs down.

Accidentally Forever is dangerously good. Ryan reminds hearts why they love her characters so much. From emotionally, breathtaking to seductively stunning, Crew and Aria keep the thrills coming and the heart reeling. Reyes and Rivers burst through the boundaries of the written word to find the soul underneath. Get ready for a wild ride that never backs down.

Fantastic friends to lovers romance

I received this as an arc/alc from the author and I’m voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This was a fantastic friends to lovers romance. I absolutely loved the dynamic between Aria and Crew, they had such great banter and they were both actively trying to help each other. The story was well written and had some drama. I felt like the story had a good flow and I loved the ending.

Audiobook review: This was a bit of a miss for me. I didn’t really enjoy the narration. The male narrator was fine but the female narrator just didn’t do it for me, her pace seemed off and I couldn’t really relax and enjoy the story. And this was one of the first times I haven’t enjoyed an audiobook version of this author’s works so it was a bit surprising to me.

Finally!

I enjoyed listening to Oscar Reyes and Lucy Rivers bring Aria and Crew’s friends to lovers romance to life. Their relationship was the definition of it’s complicated. There were plenty of bread crumbs dropped about these two in the previous books in this series to have me chomping at the bit. They say there’s a fine line between love and hate and these two definitely pushed the boundaries. It was entertaining to watch them push each other’s buttons while trying to fight fate and their undeniable chemistry.
