Review: Heart of Ash
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 20, 2013
I have to give props to any author that can start a romance with a hero I find skeezy and a heroine I find nave and too innocent and turn them into a couple who I not only care about but I find them interesting enough that I not only want them to find happiness but I’m cheering them to their own happily ever after.Tryst Island is a favorite weekend getaway retreat for many. Ash (the ass) and his friends have found that it is also a place where they can hold on to their glorious college years and behave like obnoxious immature frat guys. Wow. It took me a while to like Ash. He starts off as an overly attractive rich brat. This side of him makes it so easy to see why Emily and her gal pals would vow to steer clear of their hot yet unattractive neighbors. Emily has her own mountain of issues when it comes to the opposite sex anyways so it makes sense for her to stay away from the rowdy boys next door. Yet the moment sexy golden boy catches her alone and oozes some of his natural charm vows are forgotten and hearts are broken.As a reader going into a romance it is a given that you’ll get your happily ever after. I have to be honest after Ash and Emily’s “One Night” I was beyond curious how Sabrina was going to take these two from that to happily ever after. I loved the story she created to bring them to life and make them someone I cared about. Sabrina made them into read people. She gave them real problems and real obstacles to overcome. Many of those obstacles drove the sexual tension up and allowed for the romance to flow at a pace that reflected Emily and Ash’s beginning.Heart of Ash is the first book I’ve read in the Tryst Island series. It certainly will not be the last. Feel confident in jumping into this series at any point as each book works as stand-alone.book provided by the author for the purpose of an honest review
