I should have died.
I should have been
forgotten.
But I didn’t, and I
wasn’t.
Living the life most women only dream about, I was madly in
love with my soulmate—Asher Valentine—amazing husband, loving father, and
rock’s favorite kick-ass front man. A man who loved me every day, in every way,
since we first met as teens. We were blessed with a beautiful
daughter who was the light of our life. My all-female rock band was tearing up
the charts.
Then tragedy struck, and I lost it all.
Now all I have is a stack of journals, an antique key, and a
big black void where my memories should be.
Used to be.
And I have him—this man with wild hair, tattoos from head to
toe, a soft voice, and an even softer touch that gives me butterflies. He’s
clearly hopelessly in love with his wife.
I’m told that’s me.
But that wife is gone, and she took everything they once
had, leaving me in her place.
A broken replacement. A new version that doesn’t quite fit.
I’m slowly falling in love with him, but will he ever truly
love me? Or will he forever be in love
with her, the phantom woman who
haunts us both?

What I thought about Asher
I'm
always fascinated by stories of true love and fated mates and I've been
waiting for this book for some time now. Asher has been a compelling
character throughout this series, and his situation finally getting
resolved was very much the draw to this book.
The
love of Asher life happens to be in a coma where she's been trapped for
years. Put there at the height of her career, Ember's recovery was a
long shot. When she does awaken, she has no recollection of the life she
led before. For Asher, Ember awakening is evidence of what he knew
would almost happen, except for the fact she doesn't remember what they
had together. He'll just have to demonstrate his devotion to her. It's
not an easy position for Ember to be in either.
I
really did like Asher's commitment and devotion to his wife during her
coma and afterward. It wasn't an easy resolution between them. He had
to work for her, and she had to accept him a second time. There's also a
daughter involved.
This
is a second chance love story that shows how enduring love can be,
especially in the face of major challenges. Asher isn't afraid to do the
work to show Ember just how much he loved her then, and still loves her
now which made for a very heart-warming HEA. I think I would have liked
it more without Ember's surprise there toward the end which just seemed
ridiculous to me.
Asher
is a standalone novel in the Ashes & Embers world, but I would
recommend reading the series so you have some idea of the dynamics in
this world as they are a bit on the unique side. Asher is a satisfying
addition to the series.
An ARC was provided. This is my honest review.
