This tale will take you on a heart stopping adventure into a drug empire filled with deceit, women, drugs, money, power and the true meaning of love.
Ashes to Ashes is the first book I've read from this author and I can tell you right now that it won't be my last. I devoured this book from beginning to end. The storyline and the characters were great. They definitely had me all up in my emotions while reading this story. This story was full of betrayal, revenge, lies, suspense, steamy scenes, killings, drugs and so much more. The ending was sweet but it also felt as if the author rushed into it. I would have loved an epilogue. However, I was happy that Ali and Shantel got their HEA.
First book I ever read from this author and yes you did this.. This book was everything. Ali and shantal was everything. I loved how they were able to work out their difference like adults. Perfect good girl who loves bad boy love story.
It was a nice story. Ali and Shantel were an interesting couple. I couldn't understand why she did what she did to Ali. I didn't feel sorry for her. It was interesting to read about a guy who gets cheated on and how he deals with it for a change instead of the usual guy cheats on his lady.
Crazy how life bring two people together forever. Had me holding my chest a few times. These women out here doin the most too. But in the end love over everything.
