This review was first published at M's Bookshelf - http://mssbookshelf.blogspot.be as part of a Book Tour.I have to find more original ways to say how much I loved reading something when it's a Karen-Anne Stewart novel. Ash to Steele is just brilliant. It's so intense, so romantic. Just... W-O-W.Emma is a wonderful main character. She's an honest, kind, caring girl with big dreams who ended up in a city that could make those dreams come true... but a city that could also destroy everything for which she stands for. On which side of this will Breck be?Breck is thé guy every father warns his daughter about, and the exact same guy every girl falls for - against better judgment. He's gorgeous, he's sexy, he's a very smooth talker... and who'd guessed, he has a sweet and soft side as well! From muscles to tattoos and motorcycles, Breck is the epitome of a bad boy.But oh my gosh he is s.e.x.y! I'm not usually a big fan of portraits as book covers, but this guy... Well, let's just say it's a good thing I read an e-copy of Ash to Steele or I wouldn't have made it past the cover!Ok. Back to the book. I loved how Emma is a strong, independent woman. Breck is very protective and almost controlling, but she keeps her ground and refuses to let him dictate her - I admired the same thing in Raina and Kas (The Rain Trilogy).From the very first chapter you can feel how this will be one of those epic (love) stories. You're swept away and you're unable to stop reading. You can't help but fall in love. Both the book and Breck and Emma's love is so incredible intense - it will leave you breathless. And in tears.Karen-Anne did it again!Ash to Steele is a brilliant novel I will definitely read again... and again.
