Neither was looking for love when they crossed paths in a crowded restaurant, yet they can't deny that the instant attraction they feel for one another is shifting into something more. Bridget's perception of the man she's falling in love with changes in an instant when she realizes that he may not be the kind, giving and honest person she thought he was. When she's faced with undeniable proof of who he really is, she's forced to confront him in a way she never imagined she'd have to. They have hurdles they have to overcome together but will the past be too much for either of them to bear? As Bridget faces a decision to pursue her life's dream, Dane has to confront the woman who he once loved. Bridget wants the truth, Dane wants her and when life offers Bridget a chance she can't pass up, will it mean the end of their love?

This was a quick romantic read.
I felt there wasn't enough angst and there was this major build up to this man and may be him being a liar to there being no twist and him being perfect.
I loved the story line, I loved the characters
Alpha was just too perfect for me

I simply loved this series ... love Bridget and Dane and the way their love evolved.
I would love to read about their time in Paris, their baby and their return from their 3 month Art tour but the free book at the end was in a faded and tiny font I could not read.
I find this to be the case with all the generous contributions the author shares after the series are over ... that said, I am SO delighted to have found this author and the abundance of character rich romance series/novellas I have been able to dive into since I got my Kindle for Christmas. I am very grateful!!!

Dane is such an interesting character at first I wasn’t sure if I liked him bc he walked away from his relationship the day his girlfriend expected a proposal. It made him seem like a douche and yet he rescued Bridget from her awful date. As the story unfolds I ended up falling in love with his character just as much as I loved her.
Another amazing and motivating story of true love conquers all.

I have been filling in the gaps of al the Deborah Bladen series. I somehow had missed one of this particular series, so why not read the whole thing again right? Once again it was enjoyable and easy reading. I always enjoy the intermingling of the characters between all of Deborah's series. This one had a couple surprises for me. And yeah, there was some 'smoke' weaved in there too!

Nope
This one just no. Compared to the other books? I'm not sure what it was. The lack of or the overkill? This story just pissed me off so much. I forced myself to finish reading, hoping it would improve. It did not. :<

A quick and enjoyable read. The ending was not what I personally wanted. I wanted a bigger plot twist or an actual villain. But I guess, most people would prefer this ending.

Part 1
The cover summary said it all! Bridget and Dane are searching for their be half for their lives and in an awkward moment they met each other. She wants him but she needs to get things slow between them; he wants her but he needs things to go faster between them, he needs her badly! She is the one!!
This love story has nothing to do with the other stories Daborah has written. It's slowly opens infrond of our eyes, tenderly and sweetly. I can find myself in Bridgets mind easily. I think just like her but the warm feeling I feel reading the story...well, Dane's actions do that! He is increadible beautiful on outside, his body sculpture beauty, his strength, Deborah have an ace when it comes to describe men for her books...but his soul is the best thing he owns. I will die for this man!!!
I enjoy reading "Ember" very very much and I want to find out what is coming next for Bridget and Dane. Part 2 is on currendly reading process and I love it too. Best thing in the book? But of course the SEX scenes! The man knows how to work things out on the bed, on the armchair, on the..... Well, you have to read it to find out where else! Lol
Part 2
Bridget and Dane are getting more close to each other, after her accident, but the mistery of Dane's ex-girlfriend is always there. He doesn't open up with himself about his past and that makes Bridget's decision to keep her feelings secret than be opened up and regret it after. At the back of her mind it's always the fact that Dane will be change his mind and get back to his ex soon.
Although, Bridget see's that Dane is the one and only for her, she hasn't invest her life on that. She tries to get physically better after the accident and invest time for her future as an artist. However, she can't stay away from Dane's pull; the man's truly love her and shows it with every fiber of his being. Until, their moment of intimacy broke into pieces after the news of an unborn child swing above their relationship.
Ember part2, was more interesting, intence and heartbroken. It was a bit twisty (if this could be the right word to describe it) from Dane's side because at some point I thought Deborah was playing with my mind and feelings. I truly had second thoughts about Dane and where the story is going to end at some points during part 2. Couldn't leave it in the side until I start reading part 3; especially when it ended again with a big enigma and so many questions about what had happen now and what next!
Part 3
Deborah did it again! Althouth, I have to say that I missed few series of hers I promise I will come back and read all of them. Soon!!!
Ember part 3 was fascinating! I left part 2 with my heart in my mouth and ended part 3 with my heart full as a balloon. Deborah you endlessly like to tease us, don't you? Even when I finally got through 80% of the book I couldn't be possitive to where things going to be between Bridget and Dane. I wanted so bad things going to be HEA for them but Ms Deborah Bladon here, haven't give the green light for it yet. Pure torture my friends!!!!
I'm not going to say a thing about what happened with Bridget and Dane. The description on the cover says much. I want you to find out the end by yourselves and enjoy it as I was. The only thing I want to say is that, even if many things were clarified about Dane's past, he said as much he could about it; I realy want to read his POV too. He was unexpectedly open with his feelings towards Bridget, something that was so unique if you ask me, but he kept things hide for his reasons. I'd love to learn what were his anchors which made him act the ways he did. And of course, I can't wait for the extra part of them, soon.
Thank you Deborah again for the amazing love story!

3.75-4* overall. Deborah Bladon gives good serials!! It's her thing. It just works. I finished part one and for a serial (different judgment than a novel) it's 4.5*. This is to the point. No bull, no mindless chatter. I love that. This feels redeeming for her work. The last couple lost a little bit of the edge but I think it's back and better than ever. Altho as I always add I wish there was less sex. I'm probably the only one but I can live without it being on every other page. For real. I like the other relationship stuff too a little depth would be acceptable lol.
Onto part two... Ok I was at 4* till the end. I'm feeling like this turn in storyline will ruin the whole thing for me.
One way to find out part 3...
Lots of smoke and mirrors here. Which is resolved quite quick since it is a serial. This part was ok. I didn't love it If the other parts were like this one I wouldn't give it much of a rating.

So many questions
I have so many questions still! I enjoyed this story. Wasn't my most favorite but it was fun watching Bridget find her love.
I just had one moment that I wanted to scream. I don't want to spoil it but there was a point where I was like how in the h... did they let that happen. Not sure of a big city but I know what happened wouldn't happen here. Just wouldn't. I know for the story it created drama and a different dynamic but it made me lose points for Bridget as a character. I just didn't get it.
Aside from that I did enjoy the story and can't wait for it to continue.

4 Stars for all three in this series. Deborah Bladon is back with this one. Doesn't every woman on the planet want a Dane? He is pretty perfect in my eyes. And this one kept me guessing, and I just love that. I didn't think I would like Bridget, as I guess I didn't like her so much with Zoe, in Zoe's story with her and Beck. But she grew on me!
April 7, 2016
I really enjoyed this one. I think it was such a realistic view of the insecurities and miscommunication that can happen in an early relationship. Each serial ending in a cliffy just like the others, I would never read or listen to a Deborah Bladon if the whole serial wasn't released. I wouldn't be able to take it.

Hot as a Bonfire!!!
I wish I knew a Dane....Really enjoyed Bridget too, she is sweet and a gentle reminder of what a kind soul is. I love the intermingling characters but keeping up can be challenging that's why I keep all of her books at my fingertips!!!!

Albeit, I understand the draw to be with someone, but there is just too much involvement with a current/ending relationship that interferes with the budding romance that rubs my senses wrong. Story was interesting, overall.

EXCELLENT SERIES I've all her books that are out and I love them all. Can't wait for her next book. Please hurry.
June 30, 2015
I still love how everyone's connected. But I feel like her books are getting shorter and more rushed and crammed. I love the cliffhangers though.
