threatening her, Asher's most primitive instincts take over. Sticking by Remy's

Review:
We’ll
Asher finally did it; he found a way to prevent Remy from making the mistake of
her life, but boy could his timing have been better. We have been waiting for this one because we
knew that Asher was going to make an ass of himself and that there was no way
that these two were going to resist one another once Remy was no longer
engaged. Stacey Kennedy has a way of
bringing out the best and worst in her lovers at the same time and we can
always tell that some things are inevitable.
Asher lost his way a decade ago when he lost him mother and willingly
walked away from the love of his life, but he’s back and trying to make amends,
if not win her back. He has given up on
the idea of love for himself, not trusting in the foundation of marriage or
believing that he can give Remy the life she deserves. Remy lost everything when Asher walked away,
losing her grandmother shortly after that, and she hasn’t been able to get her
life back on track since. Though she
understand why he broken up her wedding, she still can’t come to terms with her
feelings for him as he tries to be friends and give her the support that just
breaks her heart. When she gets and
unexpected windfall, allowing her to finally achieve her dream of opening the shop
she and her grandmother always dreamed of, Asher is right there offering his
support and help, but when an unexpected anger comes into her life he is also
the only man that can save her.
Spending so much time together, the sparks are flying between Remy and
Asher, and while they are both willing to fall into bed, neither of them seem
willing to give into the emotional pull that has never truly gone away. Now the danger is escalating and Remy has to
decide is giving in to Asher’s protective nature is worth the pain to her heart
to keep herself alive, or if she will be the one stepping back to protect him
this time. I seriously loved both of
these idiots, despite them both making stupid decisions again and again,
because they were just so human that it made them believable characters in such
an unbelievable circumstance. Asher made
a serious mistake when he was younger, despite making it for what he thought
was a good reason, and he is owning up to that mistake and trying to find a way
back into Remy’s life and heart. I loved
seeing him learning and coming to understand that pain is just a part of life
and that his parent’s mistakes and pitfalls of a relationship don’t have to be
his own as long as he doesn’t let them be. I would love to find my own Asher,
one that I could teach that love beats all as long as you stop fighting against
it every step of the way, because sometimes destiny and fate truly do know
what’s best for you. Remy is a true
believer in the magic; she believes that magic is everywhere and that the love
she has for her family and friends fuels that magic. She wants so badly to trust in Asher again,
but he’s hurt her in such a way that trusting in him again is almost impossible
until she comes to see why he made the decision he made. I liked Remy, despite her making a few very
bad decisions, and I could see myself being friends with her quite easily. The heat between Asher and Remy was meteoric
and left me needing ice more than once as I read their story, but the best part
of all was the HEA they found once they opened their hearts again and let them
self settle into love. I am DYING for
the finale story in the series, Ruthless Bastard, and just know that Regan and
Kinsey will lead us on a merry chase before they find their own HEA. Stacey Kennedy once again burns down the
house and leaves the reader begging for more.
