They were a storm I never saw coming, an unforeseen heartbreak on the edge of a dangerous cliff.In AMBER TO ASHES (Atria Paperback; June 9th, 2015), Amber Moretti’s life changes in the span of minutes. An orphaned outsider, she is desperate to start fresh the moment she walks onto campus. In the time it takes to cross the university’s dining hall, she meets two men who bring color, air, and light to her darkened world.
They became my addiction, each a needle to my next hit, my high.
Brock Cunningham’s appeal is dizzying, a potent force Amber can’t deny. A green-eyed smooth talker, he instantly attracts Amber. It doesn’t take long for him to consume her every thought, her every breath.
Ryder Ashcroft, a blue-eyed, tattooed, and pierced bad boy, turns Amber off immediately—that is, until he kisses her, stealing a piece of her heart, her soul.
They were as opposite as fire and ice, yet I ached for them equally.
Never knowing she could be broken down in so many unexpectedly beautiful yet petrifying ways, Amber finds herself falling for both men.
Immoral? Maybe. I say undeniable. Uncontained.
But one devastating event changes everything, shattering each of their lives...and Amber isn’t sure she can recover from it.
I have been try to find the best way to word this review,
and even now that I am at my laptop typing away I am still searching for the
best way to word my thoughts and feelings about Amber To Ashes. I am going
to admit it took me a couple tries of picking up my kindle, reading pissed or
upset before setting it back down again swearing I wasn’t going to finish
it. Then a couple days later I would
repeat that same process and so on. I
don’t know if it was my mood at the time or what but I had a hard time getting
into it, but then I finally forced myself to sit down and give Amber To Ashes an honest final attempt
and I am glad I did. I love a storyline
that is filled with angst, love triangles, emotional roller coaster rides and
smoking hot sex scenes. So for me to
take so long to get into a book that had all of these was strange.
In respect for the author I don’t want to give any type of
spoilers away, I know some readers like spoilers and some don’t but I respect
author’s and really try not to spoil anything in their books if I can help
it. I will say this, be prepared. Be prepared to yell, scream, curse, cry, feel
like your stomach is in a never ending knot because Amber To Ashes will do all of those things to you, multiple
times. Hell my own anxiety sky rocketed
while I was reading and I am just reading the book, not one of the
characters. I can’t wait for book two to
be released because I just have to know what will happen next.
I had tried to read this author’s previous series and got
about halfway through Collide before
I set it down, I still plan to go back because I know if I can work past my
crazy emotions in Amber To Ashes then
I will be able to continue on with that one.
If you are like me and may have had a hard time reading Amber To Ashes in the beginning, please
pick it up one more time and give it that final last try because I know now had
I not done that I would be regretting my decision down the road.
