What To Read After Kristen Ashley…

July 6, 2014 By Maryse 66 Comments

Oh. Em. Gee!! I can’t believe I don’t have this list up yet, considering:

She’s one of my absolute favorite authors and I ALWAYS CRAVE reading books that have her “feel”… her guys are MY kind of heroes. These are the guys that make my heart dip, put butterflies in my stomach, make me furious and want to cry, and put me in a love fog. I *need* that chase, and her guys sure give it to us. But when they give in… OMG swoooooooooooon!!! And then they make us SOOOO mad. Right off the bat (usually) and well… throughout. The perfect romance angst, if you ask me. Her romance books, and her alpha-males are the ultimate reading experience! Her heroines always feel like ME. I can always relate to them, connect to them. BECOME them.
Kristen Ashley & Maryse at Angstfest (Book Bash 2014)

I can’t even choose just one certain book for a “What to read after… ” because ALL of KA’s books are uniquely hers, and uniquely amazing, and we’re always just looking for more, that feel like her.

  • To me, she’s the queen of bad-boy/flawed-yet-heroic/moody/alpha-jerks/yet absolute sweetheart alpha-males.
  • And EVERYONE is always asking for more like KA. We are all KA addicts here, so let’s make this the ultimate “KA-feel” finds list!
  • Just check out what our fellow readers are saying: read more

    Book Review – The Will by Kristen Ashley

    April 14, 2014 By Maryse 18 Comments

    The Will (The Magdalene Series)
    Awwwwwww
    !!!! Can this author start and end a book, or what?! From the synopsis, I had a completely different “take” on how this one would go, going into it. It sounded good (cute), but it didn’t quite sound like a “Kristen-Ashley” read, ya know? I don’t know, it’s hard to explain, but I was imagining a jet-setting woman with a “laissez-faire” attitude, her grandmother (that she’d visit on occasion) and a brooding ex-boxer. read more

    Book Review – The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley

    December 22, 2013 By Maryse 39 Comments

    The Golden Dynasty (Fantasyland Series)
    What a FANTASTIC fantastic story. To think I missed out on this beauty, intensity and heartbreak over the word “fantasy” for a year or two, when all along, every bit of the “Kristen Ashley fervent alpha-male love story” I was craving was right there, ready and waiting for me. *sigh* Blasted me and my genre-bias!!

    And the worst part is I probably won’t learn my lesson. I’ll still shy away from the “fantasy” genre. Except for anything “fantasy” from this author. I. Am. Sold. read more

    Book Review – Jagged by Kristen Ashley

    November 4, 2013 By Maryse 29 Comments

    Jagged
    Nobody starts a book, better than Kristen Ashley. Nobody. I can think back to every single one of her books that I’ve read, and I can tell you EXACTLY how each one starts. How we “get into” the oncoming story. And each one… I swear it, feels like it’s my own personal memory. My own experience. My own thoughts. My own intense emotion, heartache, and my own relationship worries. My own disappointment. The realistic FEEL of these characters. These stories. THIS is what real “romance-angst” is made of. read more

    Kristen Ashley – Ghost and Reincarnation Series Reading Order

    November 2, 2013 By Maryse Leave a Comment

    Kristen Ashley is a QUEEN of alpha-male romance, and intense emotion. And to think she’s got a sweet paranormal (romance) series too! I can’t wait to give these a try!

    Tracie: Fairytale Come Alive is one of her most emotional emotional and beautiful books. Prentice will make your heart swoon.. I’ve read them all and the only one I didn’t love was Sommersgate House. Only cause it frustrated me. But the others were all outstanding.

    Jen: Penmort Castle is another favorite of mine. read more
