Being able to see a softer and more vulnerable side of Ash Ryan is a wonderful ice cream topped treat. Through Ellery's perspective, in "In the Spotlight", Ash is calm and knowing, a very intimidating creature. In "Barefoot Heroine", readers get to know that Ash is just as nervous, insecure, and hopeful as Ellery is.First impressions of Ash are reaffirmed in this 'Mayne Attraction' short story. Even more, readers are able to see beneath the surface, learning that Ash wants more than a passing relationship with Ellery. When it comes to Ellery, Ash is taken by more than just physical attributes. He genuinely admires Ellery's character. Everything about Ash in this short screams that he's so in love.Barefoot Heroine focuses on a scene from "In the Spotlight" and it's not like reading the same scene with the exact same dialogue. Reading about the other side of Ellery and Ash's first interaction is just right for holding readers over until the next 'Mayne Attraction' installment, "In the Smoke".
