The Passion #3

Passion's Pride

Rate this book
Ash and Serge, aka Sparky, have always felt a pull to each other, a special connection - a draw that not only tugs at the heart, but at the denims too. Afraid to act upon these feelings and risk ruining their friendship, they fight it until faced with a life-threatening situation. Not once, but twice. Can Ash and Sparky’s relationship withstand these battles they face while slowly crawling through the depths of hell for each other? Or will pride cause them to miss their one real chance at happiness?

Ash and Serge (Sparky) 3.5 up to 4
They have a get together with friends, a sort of celebration....It will be a great day.....
Until it turns out to be a horrible nightmare...

A close friend circle Brax and Payce, Damien and Dax, Ash and Serge.
When they are gathered and Damien is kissing Dax, Brax stands with Payce, Serge is wiggle his finger to Ash to come over....
Ash grins and.....everything turns black...and there goes Serge.... to the ground...

The story told from both pov only Ash is speaking in the present and Sparky is dreaming the past.
Their views are totally different Ash is devastated because Serge health is in jeopardy ....
And Serge is dreaming his awesome dreams....

The comateous dreams are....full of hot and steamy sex....Sparky revives every hot encounter they had in the past....also we get a look in Ash his life, the hard things he have been through.
Ash on the other hand is with Sparky, sitting at his hospital bed every day and night.
When Payce (always a suspicious attitude toward Ash)...is angry with Ash and ask him to do more for Serge.....Ash turns on his heels and get out of the room....slamming the door...and knows exactly what to do...
Facing his awful past...and turn to his horrible rich parents....

A bit chaotic read... substantively it was sometimes disorganized. I had to read some parts twice before getting it. I didn't read the previous books and maybe I should have....
There were a lot... read: and lot of hot sex scenes....I think 70% was about Sparky's comateous dreams.
The developing of their personalities and the illness could have been more. Serge was one little crack fire, loud and funny and extrovert, Ash was more serious but loving Serge hard. Luckily everything turns out well :)
It was an entertaining read, again somewhat chaotic and when you are a lover of a lot of sex scenes this one is for you.

Well we've waited for this book for awhile now, and the saying : "good things come to those who wait" well...... this was absolutely so worth the wait. Piper blew this book out of the ball park "Grand Slam"

We met Sparky (Serge ) in Payce's Passion (book #2) and he really became a favorite of mine. I fell in love with his explosive personality and his heart of gold but there was something more to him and in this book we get to finally see the whole truth behind what is going on in his life.

Ash is an enigma.. very closed off yet when Sparky finally gets his ultimate wish and breaks through the walls that Ash has built we witness some of the most emotional moments and I'll just say this "be prepared tissues needed "

This story was one of many emotions and Piper threw in some twists and turns that will have you glued to the edge of your seats turning the pages frantically. I cried held my breath but.... I also laughed hysterically and let's not forget the chemistry between Ash and Sparky, Wow just Wow panty melting!!!!

I love this series but I have to admit this by far is my absolute favorite one, it brings life into perspective and also proves that family does not always have to be blood related.

I loved how Piper included all the characters from the previous books and made them all a very important part of this story, the bond these guys have with each other is so strong but we got to see the fun banter between these guys and also watched Payce who is very protective towards Sparky come to terms with his feelings towards Ash.

I really can't recommend this book enough it was so brilliantly written (Kudos Piper) I'm really anxious to see where the next part of this series is headed.
Sparky omg what can i say he's in a league of his own I love him more now than ever.

FINALLY TO HAVE THIS STORY!!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVED IT!!! I was overjoyed to finally get to read this HIGHLY ANTICIPATED story. IT IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! So worth the wait. Sparky was a fantastic, effervescent enigma in this close knit group of friends. Ash was strong and dependable but mysterious at the same time. The duo of Sparky and Ash was the absolute, hands down, hottest, insta-wet couple yet. This story is so hot, yummy and loving, so much just warmed my heart. I love this group of friends and I am so ecstatic that this series is going to continue. Thank You Piper Kay and your magnificent Team. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND THIS EXTRAORDINARY SERIES!!!!!!

Well...Seems like we've been waiting for Sparky and Ash's story for years.....This was all I'd expected it to be and more....This I think was the hardest of the three to read....Serge is in hospital for most of the book but we still get him i flash backs and damn he's a little firecracker.....Ash will do anything for his Serge and boy does he go through hell for him....But Serge fights for his man....I loved how Payce in this came to like Ash more.....I've always had a soft spot for Payce (don't know why) and Dax my sweet Dax and Damian......In all This book is probably the best of the three in terms of angst....My fav will always be Dax but I do love me some Sparky x

This book was a long time coming & so worth the wait. I loved Sparky the first time I met him & couldn't wait for his book. It was amazing!! I loved it hard. I love Sparky & Ash <3 :) I cried a few times & my heart hurt & I also felt bad for the men a time or two, so glad it worked out. A TBR! So can't wait for book 4...

I love Ash and Sparky. I think my favorite part about this book though is when Ash understands why others did what they did. That is when he truly becomes the man worthy of Sparky (Serge). I am getting really tired of Aaron. In fact I don't tend to think this way but he needs to die. Not an exciting death but a bland boring did something stupid death. I can't wait for the next one.

Great

Another great book from Piper. This book is so emotional I cried , laughed and awed. Sparky and Ash make a great team. This is definitely a keeper. I highly recommend this book. And can't wait for the next one ( with baited breath) to come out.

I'm so glad Sparky got his own book!!
Just like Sparky's mind and actions, this book moves at almost a 100 mph!!
I loved the way it was written and was glad we got to find more out about both Ash and Sparky.
Brilliant read!!

3.5 stars for me. Overall a good book, but Sparky didn't have his spark & that was disappointing
