Since the first book in the Breathless trilogy, Burn (THE BREATHLESS TRILOGY), I have been dying to know more about the character Ash. He was the easy going, laid back one. I knew there was more to him than that. And boy is there. Introducing, Ash the alpha male!!
After seeing his two best friends leave their playboy lifestyles behind and fall madly in love with their soul mates, Ash felt left out. He was used to sharing his women with Jace and now he was on his own. That is until he met Josie.
Ash was completely captivated by Josie while first noticing her in a local park. He was determined to get to know her and make her a part of his life. Josie, being an independent and strong women, she wasn't interested in a "knight in shining armor" type trying to sweep in and rescue her. She wanted to have her own successful career as an artist and support herself. However, she couldn't deny the effect Ash had on her and she had to see what this gorgeous intense man was all about.
Ash respected her determination to succeed and be independent and he was supportive of that. Well, as long as he was in control of her success and independence. This proves to be a recipe for drama and disaster!
Ash really surprised me. I liked how strongly he wanted to care and protect her. He gave the impression he would be too over the top demanding and controlling. However, he really showed his sweet and caring side with a dash of over protection. Okay, it was more than a dash! ;)
The story started out slower than the first two books in the sex department, which surprised me. I liked that the readers get to know the characters and watch the relationship develop before all the sexy heat begins. But when it did, it was HOT!!!!
In all the romance novels that I read, I have come to expect drama and major hiccups in the relationships and I usually prepare myself. When it came to that part of the story, I thought to myself "That wasn't too bad". I thought it was over and then BAM!! I was way wrong! From that moment on, I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn't read fast enough to see how it ended.
Before I finished the series, I thought it would be easy to choose one of the three as my new book boyfriend. I was pretty sure it would be Ash. But now I don't think I can pick just one. I think I take all three! ;)
