Summary: Love this book!
Review: A friend of mine at work suggested I read this book. Since she's an avid reader and knows good books when she reads them I went out and bought From The Ashes. I'm glad I did. It's a wonderful story with enough mystery to keep me on the edge of my seat. And I loved the way the heroine's race, being black is not dominate to the story as the Indian Hero is not either. This book will remain on my library shelf.

Summary: Love it
Review: At first I thought it was going to be just another romance(I received it as a gift) but then I could not put it down. I think what I really liked was that the herione was not a size 6, she was beautiful, intelligent and average size with the rest of America, yet she found love and romance. The suspense is truly a page turner. Hope you all like is as much as I do.

Summary: Totally Captivating
Review: FROM THE ASHES is a combination of two cultures and the authors do an wonderful job of portraying each one, then mixing them together to give a provocative romantic suspense. The mystery of who and why is intensely gripping, it had me anchored to the pages, waiting for the next twist. I was spellbound by their handling of the sexual tension between the hero and heroine. The secondary characters were given just the right amount of time and were truly a integral part of the story. The dramatic ending was totally captivating. I was thoroughly entertained,and look forward to more from this splendid writing team.

Review: FROM THE ASHES IS A MARVELOUSLY WRITTEN NOVEL. THE CHARACTERS ARE WITTY. WHAT'S SO PROFOUND ABOUT THIS NOVEL IS HOW THE AUTHORS DEAL WITH INTERRATIAL ROMANCE, FAMILY CONFLICT, FRIENDSHIP, AND WOMEN ACCEPTING THEMSELVES IRREGARDLESS OF THEIR WIEGHT.THIS BOOK IS A MUST HAVE.

Summary: From the Ashes
Review: I can't tell you how much I was looking forward to this book only to be let down. It's the story of Paige Turner, an African American fashion model from New York and Lincoln (Linc) Cross, a Native American architec from Michigan. While vacationing at her family home, it suddenly burns to the ground and Linc- one of the volunteer firefighters who helps put it out - comforts her. Their attraction is immediate! Soon it's discovered the police believe Paige started the fire for the insurance and Paige learns that there are several people who want her land among them, Jack Devlin a firefighter/bed-and-breafast owner and the man she is beginning to fall in love with, Linc. The story began well. I immediately felt Paige and Linc's attraction to one another and I enjoyed how they were easing into love - the part where Paige falls into the river and Linc tries to help dry her off was innocently erotic - but suddenly the story takes off in several different directions. Paige's friend Mara's shows up and begins a relationship with Jack. Suddenly it begins to take over the story. The writers should have either left Mara out all together and made Jack - along with Linc - interested in Paige or made Mara and Jack's romance into it's own book instead of taking away from Paige and Linc's romance. Then other unnecessary characters began invading the plot. What was the point of Pazi and Wynona and why does Bill suddenly showing up at the bar? I could understand Ada but at the last minute throwing in Orin!? The part that really disappointed me was that I thought I had bought a romance novel. Except for what I'd already mentioned and a few kisses here and there, Paige and Linc's show of affection seemed to be thrown in as an after thought ESPECIALLY the actual moment they consummated their love. There were chapters and chapters of endless and unnecessary blubber and barely a paragraph about their night of passion. Again, the book and it's premise were enticing but it didn't live up to it's potential.

Summary: Wonderful Read
Review: I read From The Ashes this week. I loved the fact that the herione was not a tiny, petite little thing. She was a strong woman and didn't want to give in easily to her desires for the hero. I wish I was more like her or her best friend in the book. The mystery of who did it was an added plus. I kept blaming everyone but the one who actually did it. It was a fun and exciting read.

Summary: What did you see in this book?
Review: I read the reviews for the book'From the Ashes' and it caused me to buy it. I was very disappointed with the book. I felt that it dragged on and the romance wasn't a heart stopping type of connection. I didn't feel that they had any emotional connection and the the parts where emotion was felt,why did they feel that way? I read pretty fast and that allows me to read at least one book a day sometimes more.I don't like to start a book and not finish it. Because of the reviews I hoped that I would see what others saw in this novel but i didn't. Overall I felt the book was waste of my time
