Synopsis:
There’s nothing worse for a writer than missing a deadline. For Griffin Montgomery, his failure to do what he loves comes at a blow. He didn’t understand how it was affecting his life until his well-meaning family intercedes. His sisters have hired him a new personal assistant and he’s outraged—that is, until he sees who it is.
Autumn Minor is light on her feet and a bare memory for most people she meets. She does her best to blend in everywhere she lives, even if it’s only for a short period of time. Making sure no one truly notices her is the only way she’s survived this long. Only when she meets Griffin and the rest of the Montgomerys, she’s afraid she won’t be able to let go when its time to run.
Though the two begin a tentative but explosive relationship, they know it can’t last forever. Neither of them are made for the long haul when it comes to love and romance. When the demons from Autumn’s past find her and put both their lives at risk, Griffin will stop at nothing to protect her. In the end, though, he'll be the one who needs a second chance.

My Thoughts:
“Welcome to the Montgomerys. Come for the ink and food, stay for the drama.”
When I started reading Written in Ink, I realized it was book four in the Montgomery Ink series. Since each book was stand alone story within the series, I figured I would be fine jumping in and going back and reading the other books when I had time. While it was a stand alone, I was left confused a lot of the time because I did not have the back story for other characters and there are a LOT of characters. Trying to keep all of the Montgomery clan straight and who is married/dating who took away from Griffin and Autumn’s story. (Again – this could be because I jumped into this series with the fourth book – but it did feel like there were a lot of characters.)
Griffin and Autumn’s story was interesting because there did not seem to be much chemistry between them. Now I know Griffin is supposed a brooding writer, but I did not feel that he had much affection for Autumn outside of his lust for her. (At least with Autumn I understood why she was distancing herself.) There relationship seemed disconnected at times and I could pass on his nickname for her and when he used it.
I did enjoy the banter between the siblings and friends; it felt natural and fit right into the story. I also enjoyed when Ms. Ryan added chapters from other characters viewpoints which gave us a preview of stories to come. (Jake’s story looks interesting!).
If you are looking for story with a brooding writer with a crazy family – then this book is for you.
