ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 3, 2023

When my best friend and I fell for the same guy in middle school, I stepped back.
I’d always expected to dance at their wedding.
Not sit in the back pew of her funeral.
I left town for my own reasons, but now that I’m back, it’s clear Sebastian Montgomery isn’t the same man I left.
He’s hard. Broken.
And a single father to an adorable little girl.
When it turns out he’s my new neighbor, I can’t stay away.
But I know I’m playing with fire and the heat between us burns enough to scorch.
I thought I was over my crush.
But now it might crush me.

REVIEW:Longtime Crush is the third installment of the Montgomery Ink Legacy series by the ever lovely Carrie Ann Ryan. With the majority of her books, this one can also be read as a standalone, but I always recommend reading a series in order.The Montgomery series is filled with family, love, and emotional trauma that are sure to make readers enjoy the series even more.

Sebastian and Raven have a long past filled with moments of joy tainted by pain. Through all of this, they come out on the other side with a truly new love and understanding of each other. After Sebastian lost the love of his life the same day their daughter was born, he lost apart of himself with her. Even with the loss of the future we always thought he would have, tries to live for his family, his daughter, find joy in his work and let go of the past.

Raven is back home in the town she grew up in, a town where she made the best of friends, but also the palace where she lost so much. When she meets Sebastian again, old feelings rush to the surface yet again, putting her right back in the place she was when she left. But Sebastian has never had the feelings for her that she has had for him, the crush of a young girl and then the love of a woman. Sebastian will always only love Marley, their long ago friend, and the mother to Sebastian’s young daughter.

This second chance, small town romance is filled with heart wrenching, moving moments that will have readers reaching for a hanky, loving found family moments and best of all spicy bits that are sure to keep you up at night. CAR is a writing wizard who reaches into the soul of readers and pulls out what we want to read the most. The Montgomerys are a joy to read and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
