It’s been said that you can’t love two men at the same time.
You can’t split your heart, soul, and body in half.
But I’m here to tell you, you can.
Dylan Cole is like ice, sharp and unpredictable, the thunder inside a tumultuous storm.
Smith Reid is warmth, soft and gentle, perfect like a sunny day.
Both are mine.
But I can have only one.
There are two sides to this tale.
I'm here to tell you mine.
If you think this story is about a cheater, you couldn’t be more wrong.

I have never read Marni Mann before… and WOW, I was spellbound by this book. I went in blind as other reviewers had recommended, but if I’m being honest, I had a slight inkling of the backstory as I was reading, but this book consumed me nonetheless.

In a few words… this book was breathtakingly beautiful. A look at life in the most devastating of times but also in the beautiful. The sun-filled days, the soul mate love, the love that helps you to move past the pain and live again. I was captivated, I was emotional, and my heart broke for the heartache and devastation but was built up again by the strong friendship and love between two best friends (Rose), the eternal love of one man, and the new love from the man who would one day help Alix heal.

I’m so excited to be introduced to a new author who I look forward to reading more from. In these days where it’s so hard to find good stories, Marni Mann has written something unique and exceptional and unforgettable that I will think about it for days.

I know I’m not saying much, but go in blind, read it, trust that you will get an amazing story you will fall in love with because When Ashes Fall is pure romance, it’s healing, and it will leave on mark on your soul forever. <3

“No, I don’t want to run. Unless it’s toward you, and then the answer is yes.”

There were so many things about this girl that were different.

She was sweet with a heavy dose of shyness. Mysterious and compassionate. The most gorgeous woman I’d ever kissed.

But what made her so unlike the others were her eyes.

They were older than the twenty-something years she’d been alive.

They’d seen moments that were unforgettable.

So had mine.

I could tell nothing could shock her anymore.

We had that in common, too.

The women I’d been with thought they could handle a guy like me.

That was until I woke them during one of my nightmares.

Until they learned how dark my life had been.

I would never allow them to see either, so I would end things after the first few days.

That wasn’t the case with Alix.

Instead, I was pulling her in.

Because, when I looked into those stunning eyes, I saw someone who would understand me.

Someone who had experienced pain.

Who still felt it.

And that scared me right down to my fucking core.
