RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW ~ Liquid & Ash by E.M. Abel



SYNOPSIS

Love was my weakness. 
In the light of the truth, no one can hide. 

Derek had ignited a spark inside of my heart, a hope for a love I never expected to find. However, our connection lacked the substance it needed to burn. Weakened with resentment, our relationship crumbled under deception, slowly dissolving into ash.

I had sacrificed myself for him and paid the price.

By the time Brandon entered into my life, the longing in my heart had turned cold. But fate was not done with me. His crystal blue eyes and fluid touch revived a wish that had been frozen in time. He gave me hope once again. 

Hope is a dangerous thing, especially when you dare to dream.

4.75 Stars

Gahhhh!!! I devoured this book. The writing and story was phenomenal and I feel like a tool for not being able to give this a full five stars, but I promise I have a legit reason (which I will address at the end of this review.) But in the mean time, just know that Ms. Abel delivered one hell of a story.

That had always been our problem; our love burned too hot and died too slow.

Penelope & Derek:
When I first met Derek, I admit, I was charmed just like Penelope. Dressed in his Marine uniform, he was persistent in his pursuit of Penny. At the time, all she wanted to do was focus: finish school and never be dependent on anyone. But meeting Derek changed that. As the years went by, her ambitions and dreams were put on hold, slowly becoming someone who she thought Derek wanted. But Derek’s charms weren’t just for Penny and she took notice.

The flashback scenes of Penny & Derek’s relationship made the first half of this book extremely emotional. You really could feel Penelope happiness and struggles. Its no wonder why she is the way she is. But after finding strength that she never thought she had, she made some necessary changes.

I could smell him, feel his heat, remember his taste.

Brandon:
Oh dear. I don’t know where to start. He’s smart, tattooed and extremely sexy. He showed Penelope she was still desirable. He didn’t know it, but he also gave her the courage to change. He’s not a perfect Hero, but his mere presence brought hope & light into Penny’s life.

A woman with a dream of being loved is a danger to herself because she will see it places it doesn’t belong and doesn’t exist.

So, why not a full five stars? As much as I thought this was a fantastic and expertly written story, it was the ending that fell a tad bit short. Don’t worry, it all ends happily, but the epilogue really left me wanting more. It was unsatisfying, at least for me. Plus, there were some unanswered questions I wanted answered, or at least mentioned. Aside from that, I would definitely recommend this story. I can’t wait to see what Ms. Abel will write next.

Saving Jay  
Jay My life was a dark and desolate place. Consumed by work and full of regret, loneliness had become my closest friend. Ink and a tattoo machine were my therapy, a way to claim my own skin with the art that I loved. The day I walked into her shop, I knew I’d found what I needed. The light I’d been looking for.

Jade When I first looked into those blue eyes I saw a depth behind them that I wanted to explore. Jason “Jay” Clarke was more than a perfectly pressed suit and dimpled smile. He was a man with a heart of gold drowning in the weight of his world. He wanted me to mark him. I never expected him to soothe my aching heart. When our worlds collide and Jay begins to fall apart, will my love be enough to save him?

Letting go, Jay turned toward the table and pushed our dishes out of the way. My glass tipped over, spilling water onto the floor, but he didn’t seem to care.
“Sit down,” he told me, taking my hand and guiding me to the edge of the table.
I did as I had been told, getting up on my toes, before sliding my ass over the edge and sitting in front of him. His warm hands ran up my thighs, and his eyes were so dark and passionate that I couldn’t look away.
Kneeling down, Jay picked up one of the belts from our robes before standing up again. “Do you trust me?” he asked, holding the belt in one of his hands.
I glanced at it before meeting his gaze. I did. I probably trusted him more than I should. “Yes,” I whispered, keeping my eyes on his.
Jay’s lips lifted on one side, exposing one of his dimples. “Good,” he said before lifting the white belt and putting it over my eyes.
I gasped in surprise as everything went black. The soft material held my eyes closed as he tied it behind my head. I could feel his warm body in front of me, his thighs touching the insides of my knees. The rain sounded louder as it hit the deck outside. Licking my lips, I waited for Jay to make his next move.
“Lie back,” he whispered next to my ear.
I grinned and slowly leaned back, afraid I might knock something over. Jay’s hands helped guide me down, and once my head touched, I relaxed on the hard wood. Jay’s warmth left me, and I felt so exposed, lying there while blindfolded before him.
A few seconds later, I heard movement in the kitchen. The refrigerator door opened and closed, and I worked to control the rhythm of my breaths as I waited. I vaguely heard Jay’s footsteps as he came back into the room. It was hard to hear anything with the storm outside. Jay’s leg brushed mine before he moved to stand between my legs again. I had to fight the urge to talk. I wanted to ask him what he was going to do. I wanted to beg him to touch me, but I also knew the silence was only building the connection between us.
I have to trust him.
I felt Jay leaning forward, his hand moving to the table beside my shoulder. In the next second, something ice cold was on one of my nipples. I inhaled sharply as Jay’s lips wrapped around it, sucking it into his warm mouth. I sighed. The relief from the cold and the pure erotic feeling of having his mouth on me was almost euphoric.
Releasing me, I felt him move again before doing the same to my other nipple. A gust of wind blew outside, and I heard the rain pounding harder against the glass doors as I sucked in another breath. My legs drew in closer to Jay’s as my back arched off the table, my hands curling around the edges of it. I could feel the warmth of Jay’s chest as I drew closer to him, but he pulled away, and I relaxed back onto the table. I was breathing hard again, waiting to feel what he’d do next.
“God, you’re beautiful,” he said, his voice right above me.

About E.M. Abel Button
My husband is awesome and also a Chief in the US Navy. This means crazy schedules, uncertainty and lots of nights spent alone writing on my computer.
I have two amazing kids who always know how to make me laugh. I've been passionate about writing since I wrote my first poem in the 3rd grade and I've been using it as a means to express myself since.
I think because I hold my emotions so close and fear being vulnerable I use different forms of self expression- writing, drawing, painting, photography, tattoos- to show the world who I am.
The one rule I use everyday is the Golden Rule--"Treat others the way you'd like to be treated." I believe karma is very real and sometimes she can be a bitch if you make her that way. I love acting crazy, I love to laugh, I love making people laugh, I love the ocean, I love dancing like no one is watching, I love good music, I love good books... oh man I should probably stop there. I love a lot of stuff. Please feel free to write me or send a friend request.
