OMG I absolutely loved this short. Having had not one, but 2 difficult pregnancies and having to have THE conversation with my husband about what if and choices needing to be made, I read this short with my heart in my throat hoping he would never have to make the decision to choose between his child and the love of his life.

This is a short I would gladly read over and over again, as I would most of this series. I loved every minute of reading this. Thank you Carrie Ann for giving us this look at what happens next for Austin and Sierra

This is a very short story as a follow up about Sierra and Austin regarding their baby.

I kinda felt sorry for Austin from the get go, how the pressure and the nightmare got to him, it was a beautiful story and showed yet again the bonds in the Montgomery, and what a happy ending ^^

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I LOVE THIS AUTHOR!!
Delicate Arrival by Carrie Ann Ryan is a heartfelt and emotional glimpse into the lives of Austin and Sierra as they prepare to welcome their baby into the world. Their journey together has been filled with challenges, and this novella beautifully captures their love and the strength they've built together. The couple has faced trials, and this final chapter in their journey is a testament to the power of love and resilience. Ryan’s writing pulls at your heartstrings as she explores their emotions and the bond that has grown even stronger through adversity. It's a tender, touching story that will leave you with a warm, satisfied feeling.
The story is perfect for fans who’ve followed Austin and Sierra’s journey or those looking for an emotional, feel-good read. The way Ryan blends both the joy and the stress of new beginnings adds a layer of depth to their relationship, making it not just a romance, but a powerful tale of overcoming life’s hurdles together.

Loved It!!!

Such a beautiful and short story surrounding Austin and Sierra's baby boy's arrival. It was great to see how close the Montgomery are, Austin's dream or should I say nightmare at the beginning was painful. The fear of losing not one but two of the most important people in his life came alive the moment he saw Sierra bleeding in the hospital.

Sierra knew in her heart that there couldn't be any other outcome than her and little Colin being okay and she was right, sure she would have a long recovery but with her family by her side she would be alright which meant that Austin would be as well.

Considering this is Montgomery Ink 2.5 I anticipated knowing a bit more about the pregnancy before the birth. We only learned about it during Miranda and Decker's story. There was nothing really wrong with the novella, it just kinda bummed me out.

Delicate Arrival was short,sweet and just little geartbreaking. But the birth of Austin and Sierra's son makes it so much better. Loved it.

I loved seeing more of Austin and Sierra and seeing where are now. This was a short read, I just wish there could have been more to it.

A very cute look back at Austin and Sierra. Loved getting the glimpse of them pre-baby and then during the birth. Loved even more how the Montgomery clan was there for them during it all.
