I couldn’t help but love this book! Hard lessons learned all too young, pain and sadness were what shaped each of these characters. I loved each of them, and their individual stories gave this book a wonderful balance. It’s heartbreaking, but it also brought warmth to my heart in the most endearing ways! Wonderfully done!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

Dani Rene’ writes some amazing books and Among Ash and Ember is one of them.
The world she knew, the family she loved were both stolen from her at the tender age of sixteen.
Secrets came to light, followed by a hefty inherited debt. A new life followed. One that paused all her dreams.
They finally found her, shes surviving whilst treading water. This isnt where shes supposed to be!
The brothers can help her, but first they must reel her in.
Oh wowsers! Reading this is the equivalent of being on a rollercoaster ride.
The low times, the high times and the speed at which they are all approached is perfect!
I felt them getting closer, the bold forming between the three of them, and I had a vision in my mind of where the book would go.
Wrong wrong wrong is all I can say, but in being wrong I was brought to my knees and sent to the sky. Beautiful, poignant, harrowing and utterly mesmerising!
Ash the burden lies upon his shoulder as the eldest of the brothers. Hes a tornado, a whirlwind an angry soul.
Ember the peace maker, the matchmaker the all seeing oracle of life. Hes the soft side to balance the harshness of his brother.
Kat is the firey sassy innocent one. Shy yet full of spirit. She wears her heart upon her sleeve and her dreams dance in her eyes.
This is one very emotional read, tears streaked my face and my heart broke but in the darkness there was light and that’s what makes this book special.
I love everything Dani brings to the table. Shes a very talented author. Cant wait to see what she serves up next!
Wow I’m kinda in shock. Totally not what I was expecting. It’s more… Katerina’s world changed when she turned 16 being alone and working anywhere to get her goal to go to college. What Katerina didn’t have in her plan was meeting two brothers that make you swoon! Intense, heartbreaking loving story that had me in tears and then smiling so hard. Definitely don’t pass this book up! 5/5 stars
This book was the best! It was such an emotional roller coaster ride, unlike any book I’ve read before! It was beautiful, and heartbreaking all at the same time. This author knows how to suck the reader right in with her words!
wow this book brought tears to my eyes reading it! she lost everything to a fire. now life must go on. than she meets two hot guys. there are secrets that will be reveled and could damage her more than she already is. read to find out what happens. you will need tissues .
I have yet to find a Dani Rene book that O don’t like… She is simply brilliant!!!! This book was AHHHHMAZING!!!!!
Another MASTERPIECE!
Ms. Rene did it again. She created three characters that will hold refers to a VERY short leash for their attention. You know characters that make you so invested and after that, they will give you a little place to wander About everything, but… After that, they will bring you to your knees with all the emotions.
The plot was constructed in a way that put you in the middle of the action and wondering what are everyone secrets. Yet pieces of information will be given very slowly so you will have to take your time in wondering what had put those three characters together.
This book will make you love, hate, cry and scream with all the emotions it had given me.
Last chapters – bring tissues! And now I sealed everything.
What a heartwarming/heartbreaking story. My emotions felt like they were in a dryer on spin cycle reading this book.
The author took a chance on something completely different to any of her other work and the gamble paid off.
Kat’s life took a tragic change when she was just 16 leaving her alone in the world. Fast forward 2 years and a lot of sacrifices and by a twist of fate, or happy coincidence she all of a sudden has 2 someones in her life.
Ash & Ember are 2 very different personalities, yet 2 sides of the same coin. With Kat in there grasp they will do whatever it takes to give her the life she should have had before tragedy struck and the life she so richly deserves.
Ash, Ember and Kat are 3 exceptionally strong characters for very different reasons. Life hasn’t been kind to any of them, but each day they put one foot in front of the other and keep on going.
This amazing story had me laughing and crying, yelling and even wanting to give Ash a good slap at times. But even then I couldn’t put it down. Bravo to this extremely talented author for going outside the box and pulling up a winner.
This book was one of the best books of 2019 I’ve read so far.
It’s filled with so much emotion.
There’s fear and trepidation of the unknown of the past and of the future.
There’s a bond between three people that was never of their own making.
Also there is love and loyalty so strong that even the hardest of hearts would melt.
I absolutely loved all three characters,Ashton,Ember and Katerina.
They are such incredible people.
My heart hurt and ached for them so much.
The anguish and pain of Katerina is so palpable and so real it’s like a living entity.
The secrets of the past are eating away at the soul of Ashton and Ember.
Incredible story of three courageous people.
Willing to bet on each other and take the chance to trust.
Even when life has never been kind to them for one reason or another.
A story that will embed in your heart so deeply that emotions become raw; flying to the surface seeking a way out. When a tear slips down, my heart aches. My nerves take flight and it’s the sadness, broken hearted emotion that tingles throughout my soul. I have read this book twice, and each time it’s no different… embers and ash are scorched but a flame holds within the midst.
Dani is such a profound writer that her characters become one with you. This is not like any of her other books, this is new. Fresh. And it’s one that needs to be read by all!
After reading the blurb and I was hooked and couldn’t wait to get my hands on this story and once I began reading about Ember and Ash couldn’t get enough. When Kat’s story gets put into the mix emotions are all over the place. The way the story is told keeps you on your toes wondering what secrets are being held back, little by little it all unfolds and you can’t help but want to know more and see what path were taken down. I wasn’t expecting the turns and truths revealed over time but that’s exactly what makes a great book, the unexpected. Highly recommend and should be bumped to the top of your TBR list.
Among Ash and Ember was a spectacular read that I could not put down. I loved every second of this read and you will to. I can’t wait for more in this series to come out. Among Ash and Ember will completely blow you away and leave you wanting more. Go grab this read today.
I was not expecting that! This story sucked me in very quickly. I fell in love with the characters and the pace was wonderful. I loved the twists and turns that the story line took. The emotional roller coaster actually had me crying in some places and laughing in others. I can’t even describe how gutted, yet happy, this one made me feel. Having the perspective of all of the characters added a depth to the story that would have been lacking if it was only told from Katerina’s POV, which also helped suck me in more emotionally. This is a beautifully written romance that I highly recommend.
This story left me speechless and I cried ugly ugly tears and believe me you feel every single emotion that these characters are going through with all the emotion and secrets I couldn’t put it down having to know what was going to go on and happen to these 3 beautiful tortured characters and they stick to you like glue all having such tormented thoughts and just trying to survive and get one moment of peace even some love in their life. Ash and Ember are so different in personalities but that’s what makes them so unique one calm the other harsh and with Katerina so strong willed changes everything in their life. This is beautifully written and not at all what I expected and yet I cant forget them yet their embedded in my every thought, the best yet I loved it so much.
I was blown away by the intensity of feelings in this story. From the beginning, this book grabbed me, then wove its way through me to the bittersweet end. It is wonderfully written with great attention to the feelings of the characters. I loved the mysterious hints of the future, which kept me wondering what was around the corner. Katerina’s life has changed so much in a short span of time. She is a blend of a jaded, and hopeful vulnerability. With Ash & Ember, the relationships are constantly unfolding. A beautiful story of love, lust, redemption, hope, and forgiveness. Dani Rene has totally outdone herself with this satisfying, emotional story.
I received a copy of this book. My honest review is voluntarily provided.
Awesome like always a heartbreaking story but definitely gets better
A lot of twists and turns I absolutely loved it
Oh this was not what I thought it was going to be…it was so much better and I loved it!! Katerina Nielsen’s world changed when she turned 16. She lost more than just her parents…she lost the life that she knew forever. Trying to make ends meets, Kat starts working as an escort. That’s where she meets the mysterious Ashton Addington. He isn’t who you think he. Neither is his brother Ember. When they offer her a chance at becoming the woman she wants to be, can she take them up on their offer? Can she trust these two strangers or is she going to get hurt when the secrets of the past come out? It wasn’t just chance meeting the Addington brothers in that bar but all their lives will change because of it. This book isn’t what you might think and there are so many surprises. I truly enjoyed reading this and trying to figure out all their secrets. All three have lost someone special to them. Will they be able to finally move on from the past and what they are hiding from each other? A beautiful story! Told in multiple POV
Can I say I had a slight inkling from the blurb on what the story might be about, but Dani still managed to blow my mind.
This book I would say diverges from her writing style in that it has more of emotional elements that girps and guts you. Her character development is superbe as per usual, and the storyline gripping. You become invested into the lives those these characters and with each twist, your thrist to know more becomes more intense.
I would recomend all Dani Rene fan to give this one a try, and I am sure you’ll love it like I do.
This is not a story you just read, it is one you feel in the depths of your soul. The emotion pours off the pages as you immerse yourself into the lives of Kat, Ash and Ember. Powerful story, a beautiful message and a real treasure.
