I was gifted this copy of Beauty in the Ashes, and so in return I am writing an honest review.  This story starts out with a tragedy with Caelan and his family, this immediately had me hooked, pulled into this story in a way I had been missing for a long time.  This first chapter gave me the feeling that I was going to be drawn into this book and I was.  I am not a very fast ready, life just gets in my way sometimes so it took me a couple of days to read this book and I hated putting it down to deal with life.  As this story continues we find that Caelan is tortured and struggling with life, with alcohol and drug abuse, he is angry at everyone and hates dealing with people. Woman are only there to service a need, but never kept around.  When Sutton moves in to the apartment building just across the hall from Caelan, she soon discovers that she has a very unfriendly neighbor.Sutton is running, running from her family and her past, she also has her demons that she doesn’t want to share with anyone.  But with that said, she see’s something in this angry neighbor of hers that she can’t deny.  This man that she cannot avoid or deny is slowly becoming a kinder and gentler soul with Sutton.  They share this unspoken bond that seems to give Caelan some comfort and peace that he greatly needs.  I was very intrigued and kept reading hoping the next page would reveal Sutton’s secret, this secret that she keeps from everyone.  Ultimately we find out this secret and how Sutton still continues to run from her past.  They embark on a friendship that gradually grows and the trust that they share is so moving.  Of course as we can figure out since we are reading a romance novel, Caelan and Sutton fall for each other in a way that is deep, very deep, I loved the story of these two and I only wanted their love to work out.  I will not say anything else about this story line or plot, because I hate spoilers.  I loved this story, I am sooo happy this book crossed my path and I decided to read it.  I will say this one is going on my top 10 books of 2014, I am recommending this one to anyone that will listen.  There are so many twist and turns, I thought how can this happen? Why is this happening? What are they going to do now? But it works, and I loved the outcome.  This will be a book that I read again.  I am giving this book 5 out of 5 stars.  I LOVED IT!!!!KimGrayLovesBookshttp://kimgraylovesbooks.blogspot.com/https://www.facebook.com/kim.gray.5209000
