ARC provided by author/publisher in exchange for an honest review
Gail McHugh is one of those rare authors who can immediately spellbind you with her literary writing and story-telling. And Amber to Ashes is one of those books that grips you. It is the kind of story that guts you, compels you, and has you feeling torn. In all honesty, this book is one of those can shatter your heart to pieces but leaves you wanting more.
If you are not a fan of love triangles and cheating, then this book is not for you. But if you can overlook that and take a chance on this story, then this is one of those reads whose story line that has tons of raw emotions, heart, mystery and suspense. I really went into reading this book not knowing what to expect but knew that I had to read Amber to Ashes because it was written by Gail McHugh.
In all honesty, Amber to Ashes is a book that cannot be reviewed or summed up. It is one of those reads that you have to experience because this story is so much more than a love triangle. It is about exposing the real nature of LOVE and how complicated it is to define. LOVE is about knowing and feeling from the depths of your soul, that you need that person in order to breathe, survive, and depend on. But what happens when your heart is torn and you fall in love with two men, who happens to be best friends? So is it true when they say love can be selfish?
So yes after reading this book, I am utterly torn between the two men that is after Amber's heart and love. I know that there are TEAM BROCK and TEAM RYDER but in all honesty whatever Amber's decision may be, a big part of me will be sad. Sad for the one man who wasn't enough to have all of her heart.
Once again, Ms. McHugh knows how to play with those heart strings. If you have read her previous books, then you know she has perfected in tugging those emotional heartstrings. Amber to Ashes was a well-written book that had emotions seeping out from every chapter and had me highlighting like crazy with all these beautiful and heartwarming quotes I found throughout the book. So if you are looking for a book that will utterly leave you feeling raw, vulnerable and exposed while tugging those emotional heartstrings, then I would recommend you to read Amber to Ashes.
