Ash Gray: Blurred Clarity
What happens when good and evil don’t so much collide as merely annoy each other? Which, when young men are involved, quite often means that they really want to get to know each other.
Ash, a low level demon, and Cas, a low level angel, become aware of each other -- in more ways than one -- and set out to prove that good and evil can exist in close contact, even complementing each other. They blur the lines and cross them frequently with surprising and almost devastating results.

Life is not always as black and white as it seems, and the shades of gray can sometimes be so much fun. Aszebizel (Ash) has always seen things in black. How else is a demon suppose to see the world? Casimir (Cas) on the other hand has lived his life as white as possible. When both of these men meet, their black and white starts to seep and blur into one another creating a beautiful gray connection.
The age-old battle of good versus evil has always made for an intriguing romance story and this is no exception. I really think Ash and Cas complimented the light and dark of one another perfectly. Both were willing to go out of their comfort level for the other and even sacrifice themselves. This is something unheard of in the battle of angels versus demons and made the relationship much more significant. I felt the internal battle of each character from beginning to end. I also enjoyed the emotional drama that came from their difficulty in accepting their relationship even though they'd taken the baby steps to accept one another as they were. I found myself rooting that they would be able to show others how accepting they could be of each other.
While this story is labeled erotic there was little to no sex through the story. There was no intercourse, just some heated make out sessions, and some touching. I would have liked to have seen a bit more of a physical or sexual relationship. Yes, I could tell the characters were physically attracted to one another, but I wanted to see them act on those feelings more. If they had, it would have just solidified the relationship for me.
This story gave me exactly what I would expect from a story based around a demon and angel falling in love with a few twists and turns along the way. If you are looking for a story to help you understand the shades of gray better, this is the story for you.

This is a light look at demons and angels, but with a message. Ash is a demon but he can’t really bring himself to cause too much havoc in the town he’s chosen to inhabit on earth. He does thing like cause minor car accidents, knock things off desks, cause arguments among lovers. Cas work in a bakery and in a similar fashion, he’s not out saving people from drowning, but offers advice to struggling lovers and helps people avoid twisting their ankle or other small things. When he first meets Ash he’s not sure what to think. He’s never met a demon and Ash isn’t quite what the manual told him. He should be horrid and evil and Cas should be banishing him, but Ash is a curiosity. He’s the classic bad boy and Cas can’t help but be fascinated, even as Ash invades his private sanctuary and makes all sorts of dirty promises. Even knowing he should resist, Cas is just to drawn.
However when Ash accidentally bonds himself to Cas, his brothers arrive and they are NOT impressed. Ash is taken back to hell to pay for his act, but Cas is determined to find him and save him, so off he sets to hell, shocked by what he sees along the way, but determined to find his man. When faces with the brothers at the end after finding a blind mute Ash, there is some divine intervention. Perhaps it could come across as a bit preachy, there is no true black and white or good or evil, that is something people (and apparently angels and demons) create to make thing easier for themselves, everything is a shade of gray.
I really loved Cas’ naive fascination with bad boy Ash. He was a curiosity that had to be explored, even though he knew he likely shouldn’t. He was an innocent and despite Ash’s intent to debauch and move on, he couldn’t help but be drawn to Cas. So it was a cute story, I especially liked the descriptions of Ash’s “chaos” and Cas’ good deeds. When you’re in the mood for some opposites attract demon/angel love it’s a good choice. The authors are always a very smooth accessible read.

4.5 stars. I loved this! I just wish there was a little bit more at the ending. (I wanted full gratification! lol) ;)

The story, the wittiness, the dialogues... it all blends perfectly to form a very unique and well-written romance. Love it!
