{{REVIEW}} IGNITING ASH By M.A. Stacie

"When the embers of pain transform into passion."

After a terrible start in life, Asher Harris picks himself up and manages to carve out a fairly decent future. Content with living alone in his bookshop, he shies away from relationships and keeps trust to a minimum. 

Emma Carnes hasn’t seen Asher in years though she’s never forgotten him. Their one interaction as teenagers became pivotal to them both. It gave her a career.

It saved his life.

Taking small steps, hoping to get him to open up, Emma finds Asher’s emotional walls hard to climb.

 He is far from receptive to her gentle persuasion, even when she seeks his help with a wounded 
child 
from the shelter she works in. 

Emma sees the parallels between him and Asher, and tries to replicate the past. However, as she 

takes tentative steps with both of them, someone is taking steps toward her. Watching her for a 

pattern. Watching her to find out what she knows.

They each battle to stay together to keep what they’ve fought so hard to gain, will a cruel twist of fate

 finally show Asher what he could lose? Could it be too late to save the one person in life he trusts

The dedication in this book stayed with me throughout my read and it's still in my thoughts now,

“For anyone who has ever been hurt

By those who should love you the most,

your happy ever after is waiting.

You just have to trust. I promise”

I knew this was going to be a hard-hitting and emotional read just from that alone but what I found was a story of struggles, loss, finding ones self, acceptance, friendship, and love.

"Its amazing how one simple act of kindness can help change someone’s life."

Asher and Emma’s story started when they were both at school, Asher was a bit of a loner and he was struggling with things no one should ever have to. Emma was a ray of sunshine in his dark life that showed him kindness.

Emma came from money, but she was far from using this to her advantage. She helped Asher all them years ago as she seen a boy struggling. But she has never forgotten about him and thought of him often.

Fast forward a few years and their paths cross again. Emma wants to help and also finds herself having feelings for Asher, but Asher is a very complicated man.

I would love to carry on telling you Asher and Emma’s story but I don’t want to spoil this Heart-warming beautiful read so if you want to find out more join them on their journey by one clicking this book.

M. A. Stacie is never without a book or her eReader. A voracious reader, with a love of sexy, yet angst ridden novels, she loves getting lost in new worlds. Her need to write did not grip her until after her second son was born, when her previous rambles became fully fledged stories.

She describes herself as one huge contradiction, and though not the most conventional of hobbies, she counts getting new tattoos as one of hers. Along with running, knitting, and listening to loud music. However, she is yet to work out how to do them all at the same time.

M. A. Stacie lives in the UK with her husband and three sons.
