BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: Amber to Ashes by Gail McHugh




AMBER TO ASHES by Gail McHugh
Atria Books Paperback | Released: June 9, 2015 | 480 pages

Synopsis:

They became my addiction, each a needle to my next hit, my high.

Brock Cunningham’s appeal is dizzying, a potent force Amber can’t deny. A green-eyed smooth talker, he instantly attracts Amber. It doesn’t take long for him to consume her every thought, her every breath.

Ryder Ashcroft, a blue-eyed, tattooed, and pierced bad boy, turns Amber off immediately—that is, until he kisses her, stealing a piece of her heart, her soul.

They were as opposite as fire and ice, yet I ached for them equally.

Never knowing she could be broken down in so many unexpectedly beautiful yet petrifying ways,Amber finds herself falling for both men.

Immoral? Maybe. I say undeniable. Uncontained.

But one devastating event changes everything, shattering each of their lives...and Amber isn’t sure she can recover from it.

I was warned before reading this book that I would be addicted to this story.

Yep so right!  I am still having withdrawals since reading this book.  Talk about an emotional rollercoaster.  I think I ate about 10 packs of Twizzlers as I devoured this story.  I will now always associate Twizzlers with this book.   


Amber is a woman who has a hard life and when she literally stumbles into the arms of Ryder and Brock, her world is never the same.  I liked how Gail McHugh immediately captured my mind into the dark and tortured past Amber has had.  

Ryder is a man who always gets what he wants with just his looks alone.  He knows how to get without being emotionally attached but when he meets Amber, he can't believe he is starting to have feelings he can't control.  I really fell hard for Ryder once I started to find out that he is more than what he appears to be.  He is not what he appears to be and Amber soon finds out that there is way more to him then he leads on.  I seriously loved Ryder with his stubborn ass and there were times I wanted to smack him just like Amber did in the book!

Awe Brock!  He is not your typical jock!  He is way more twisted and tormented as Amber and Ryder.  He has a past that is dark like Amber's and he instantly syncs into their connection of it.  Amber learns to open up with Brock but she is always second guessing whether he really is who he says he is.  

Lies, secrets, passion, thoughts of what if become reality for these three.

Chapter 18:


That is all I am going to say!  And yes I went back and read it like 3x times cause I like to torture myself that way!

The raw emotions of these characters came to life as I read.  It was beautifully written.  You will feel, you will cry, you will ache, you will just be a mess!  Yes you read right!  This is why I love Gail McHugh books.  It's pure raw emotional mind fuck!  I love it!

So the question is can you love 2 men at the same time?  I say yes!

Now asking me to pick Team Ryder or Team Brock?

I can't decide!!  I lean towards team Ryder more but Brock has a way to suck me in too!

I really enjoyed this book & can't wait for what happens next!  

Bring it on Gail McHugh!

Justice. Faith. Power. The words I live my life by, the three keys to my success, the foundation I built my entire empire on and now Goldie holds them all in the palm of her hands. She once was a Jett Girl, a piece of me, a safety net I grew to depend on. She once was mine…heart, body and soul. But now she’s gone. I fell for a girl I should have left alone. I let her consume my life, control my feelings and own every aspect of my being. I tried to keep her, to make her see what she was doing to me, to clue her in that breathing was impossible without her around. But she ran, she gave up and she returned the one thing that claimed her as mine, she gave me back her collar. This is the story of a desperate man who lost everything that ever mattered to him… my little one.

Yes!! I loved this series!  I got introduced to Meghan Quinn's books my friend Kikki.  She never recommends me books that are bad.  Love you Kiki! 

Meghan Quinn rocks!!  Seriously love how from the beginning of this series, she had me hooked, laughing my ass off with the very witty characters she created.

I highly recommend reading this series!  You want laughs, smart ass chicks who rock, drama, sexiness then this is the series for you.

Jett & Goldie's  journey and who will wind up with Lot 17 is all answered in this final book.  These books flowed well and I am glad I was able to read all of them one after another without having to wait for the next to come out.  I would have been more of a mess if I had to.

I will say that Meghan totally kicked my boobie hard with the outcome!  I had no idea it would end that way.  

I loved it!  Not what you would expect.  Shoot I almost threw my ipad mini across the room.  

Meghan when I ever meet you in person, be ready for a boobie squeeze and pinch for making me cry, laugh and want to punch a boob with this series.   I mean that in a good way Meghan.  I am not crazy... Just saying!

Go get this series and laugh out loud while falling in love with all these amazing characters!   

A Must Read Series!

00 Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped. Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking. Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

REVIEW: A Pound of Flesh by Sophie Jackson



Haunted by nightmares of her father’s street murder fifteen years ago, Kat Lane decides to face her fears and uphold his legacy of helping others by teaching inmates at a New York prison. There she meets arrogant Wesley Carter, who’s as handsome as he is dangerous, as mysterious as he is quick-witted, and with a reputation that ensures people will keep their distance.

As teacher and student, Kat and Carter are forced to leave their animosities at the door and learn that one should never judge a book by its cover. As Carter’s barriers begin to crumble, Kat realizes there’s much more to her angry student than she thought, leaving them to face a new, perilous obstacle: their undeniable attraction to one another.

When Carter is released and Kat continues to tutor him on the outside, the obstacles mount. Can they fight the odds to make their relationship work? Will Kat’s family and friends ever accept her being with someone of his background? And will Kat’s discovery of Carter’s role on the night her father died force them apart forever...or unite them? 


Loved this book! 

I seriously read it in one sitting!  I could not put it down.  Yes it is that good!


This is Sophie Jackson's debut book which started out as a FanFiction story about Twilight.

Yep, you read right, another AMAZING author that has created a story that I fell in love with from our love of Twilight.  I love this fandom. It has seriously brought sooo many good people as friends and has created such talented authors.

Okay back to the review; This story is filled with strength, forbidden love, heart ache, forgiveness, new beginnings, tortured pasts, steamy sex... it has it all.  

The fabulous Kat Lane is a woman who takes no bullshit.  And especially not from hot bad boy prisoner Wes Carter.  Sophie Jackson writes their story with depth that captured my heart & soul.  I felt so hard for these 2 characters.  Their story emotionally got to me hard.  I cried, I laughed at Carter's smart mouth, I loved how Kat gave it back to him! I liked how we got a very descriptive background of how Kat and Carter became who they are with themselves and each other.  When they get together, it's CHERRY RED hot!!!   

My cherries went on overload!

 Like I seriously needed to take a break from reading to cool down but of course, I love to torture myself and let myself just sit my own puddle of cherry mush and enjoyed this story.

I don't want to give away anything in my review so I will just say, GO READ THIS BOOK!!

I am addicted to everything Carter!

I'll shank you for him because he is now my new TOP book boyfriend!  

Seriously this is "A Must Read" for 2015!
