4 stars for Ash To Steele by Karen Anne Stewart. I really enjoyed this book.  It is the story of a good girl falling for the bad boy (even though he so desperately wants to be good).  Breck and Emma's story is both beautiful and real.  If you love a story that has a fair amount of angst but ends with a HEA, then this is the book for you!Emma Jones is a girl who has always followed the rules.  She was raised in a small town in South Carolina by her father who is a preacher.  After graduating from college, she moves  to Boston to pursue her dream of becoming an artist.  This is where she meets Breck.Oh, Breck where do I begin?  He is a sexy alpha male who is haunted by his past.  To keep whats left of his heart intact, he doesn't do relationships.  He is the love em and leave em kind of guy.  When he first sees Emma, he is drawn to her like a magnet.  He realizes that Emma is innocent, and he tries his best to stay away from her because he knows that he will only hurt her.  However, opposites attract and sometimes that attraction is just to hard to fight.  Breck and Emma become friends, and that friendship turns into love.  Breck's past comes back to haunt him threatening to destroy the love and trust that he and Emma have built together.  Will they stand and fight for one another or will the secrets from Breck's past be too much for Emma to accept?This book pulled me in from the very beginning, and I remained hooked til the end.  The chemistry between Breck and Emma is off the charts, but this book is not just about sex.  This couple shares a deep and tender love that includes devotion, acceptance, and personal growth.  This is the first book I have read by this author, but it certainly won't be the last!*I was given a copy of this book as a gift from the author in exchange for an honest review.
