Ashes - book 1 leslie johnson pdf free download

Gage is her "friends with benefits" buddy, but both secretly wish for a little more. Its only short, being a part work, pages, according to Amazon, but it carries a mighty wallop for a small book. Hot and sexy, dark and deadly, and that bloody cliffhanger!! I can't give it five stars, because its so short, that missing feeling, and the ending so Jun 28, Kendra Needs rated it really liked it.

The story in this book is very well written and developed and the plot is fast paced and will leave you hot and bothered by the end of the book. The characters in this book, well the men are fire fighters, how much better than that can you get and well if Gage is that hot then we can only imagine what Beth looks like.

I thought my heart belonged to Ken but I'm not so sure anymore after reading about Gage. This book picks up a few months after Ken and Stephanie's story ends and the opening scene will leave you breathless and turning the pages to read more. This book was full of twists and turns and ups and downs and will bring you on an emotional roller coaster ride that you will not want to miss. This book ends with a cliff hanger like no other and I cannot wait for book two to find out what's going on.

Please Leslie Johnson do not make me wait too long for book two in Ashes. Sep 16, Johnnie-Marie Howard rated it really liked it Shelves: r2r. Wow, short and amazing and has you hooked from page one.

Both Beth and Ken are strong, independent people not looki Ashes is book one in a five part serial written by Leslie Johnson. Both Beth and Ken are strong, independent people not looking for anything serious out of a a relationship.

They consider themselves friends with benefits because neither want a commitment to anyone. Beth maintains control in everything she does as she attempts to overcome her past. This includes her relationship with Gage. She keeps him at bay and does not let him in. The question is, how long will Gage be willing to put up with it?

Jun 28, Kristin rated it really liked it. They're Steph and Ken's best friends. This is the start of their story and it's a good one. I had wondered a lot about Beth and her background because she's so opposite of Steph. You get a lot of questions answered and you're entertained. Gage is incredibly patient with Beth and I hope he doesn't give up on her in this series because I really think he's the right man for her.

The story captured my attention and I was disappointed when I got the end because I wanted to keep going. It does end on a cliffhanger so hopefully book 2 will be out soon. My only wish is that it was longer but I think that's true about any book you really get into. Jun 29, Barbara Tobis rated it it was amazing. Ashes is Gage and Beth's story. Neither Beth or Gage is interested in a relationship. They are friends with benefits. At least right now. This is their romance story.

We learn in Stoking the Embers that Beth was raped as a freshman in college; someone tries to sell Steph and Beth into sex slavery; and Hannah was in the sex trade.

I have not read it and did feel slightly confused at times but I am definitely going to read the rest of the books in this series and then read the Stocking the Embers series.

Gage is a yummy fireman, and resident serial dater. He and Beth have had a "friends with benefits" situation for some time and he's fine with that. Can either of them trust anyone enough to fall in love? I found myself having a hard time at first to understand what wa Good start to an addicting series.
