Ashes was a great conclusion to the Web of Desire Trilogy, which brings Patrick and Maddie’s story to an ending I couldn’t be happier with. To say Madeline and Patrick haven’t had an easy go of things would be an understatement, but, what I love about the way Aleatha Romig writes her stories is that even though you know there are horrors to be told she isn’t doing it in a glorifying way.
This trilogy hits some very harsh realities of some of the unfortunate and I can only hope that books like these open everyone’s eyes to the harshness in the world around us and make us each strive to be better people to our family, friends, neighbors, and strangers.
I have rated each book in this trilogy 5 stars and honestly that’s a rarity, for each book to get that high of a rating from me you know it has to be good so if you enjoy Romantic Suspense, Dark, Erotic reads I highly recommend this series as well as the other “WEB” series but remember that although each series can be read on their own the books within the series/trilogy are meant to be read in the order of release.
Happy Reading!!!
I can’t say enough good things about this book–and the entire trilogy. Aleatha knows how to build a world full of wonderful characters. What a great way to escape the problems of everyday life. Action-packed and smoking hot!!!!
Awesome series from Aleatha Romig!
When I pick up a new Aleatha Romig series, I know I’m always in for one Hell of a ride. She makes me about lose my mind while waiting for that last book to come out cuz I’m greedy, I’m impatient..I act like a little kid stomping her foot waiting on that last book to be released.. I don’t like waiting!!!
Butttt..boy the anticipation makes it that much sweeter when I finally get my hands on it and that’s definitely how I felt when I got Ashes in my hands. I coveted this baby!!! Lol. Gahhh..I didn’t want to put it down!!
My questions got answered, my jaw dropped several times. lol
I got whip lash and I definitely got ALEATHA’D!!
Being the third book in the series, I really don’t want to share anything but my excitement cuz I don’t want to ruin it for you…just know that this 3rd book will be released in about a week so if you haven’t started this series yet…well girl…get on it now, it’s almost here and this trilogy was AMAZING…The Web Of Desire Trilogy is now my fav series by Aleatha!!!
*ASHES is book three of the WEB OF DESIRE trilogy that began with SPARK, continued with FLAME, and concludes in ASHES.*
Web of Desire, and all of the books in the Sparrow World, is the work of a diabolical mastermind.
Once again, Aleatha has managed to capture our hearts, shatter them, put the pieces back together, and wrap it all up in a sexy bow.
Ashes was the PERFECT conclusion to this twisted journey. Questions were answered. Revenge was sweet. And the ending left me feeling satisfied. To say I loved it, is an understatement
Another good read. Nice end to Patrick and Madeleine’s story. Addresses some difficult subjects and situations. Nice happy for now ending.
This was an amazing read. It was the perfect conclusion to this series. Aleatha Romig always delivers a great read
Patrick. Maddie. Perfection. Throughout this series you cannot help but fall in love with Patrick. I love the way he loves Maddie. The lengths he goes to to avenge the demons of her past might be unconventional but I love them all the same. I’m looking forward to Reid and Lorna’s trilogy and a chance to catch up with all my favorite couples.
So many secrets unfold in Ashes. This definitely was a page turner with it’s suspense, drama, secrets, feelings, and raw emotions. Madeline is absolutely incredible. She has experienced the unthinkable….and yet she stands strong. Patrick is an incredibly determined, dedicated, patient man. Their story is so unique and really touches the heart.
A somewhat difficult story to take but ultimately beautiful as all altheas books are.
Words can’t describe how much I love reading this book by Aleatha. The characters are amazing and addictive. Patrick is a true alpha and Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. With the power and determination nothing could keep them from being together.
Have you been Aleatha’d? First time I read that question I had no idea of the true meaning. What does that even mean? What makes her so much more special? What uniqueness does she bring to the page that others don’t. Then I started reading, and I kept on reading, and before I knew it, I was hooked. Hooked…Aleatha’d …get it?
This is not the first series I have read from this amazing author but it has got to be one of the most powerful. Ashes is Book 3 of the Web of Desire series and the underlying story is powerful and prevalent in today’s society. Strong conflicts, battles of will in the underworld, lost love and found, debts paid, other debts acquired and in the end so much warmth coming off the page that you are left speechless.
I did not realize until I was about halfway through this book that my normal reading habit had changed. Have you ever been reading a book and loving it so much that you try to drag the ending out? Aleatha has always awarded me a book hangover when I finish her series, but this Web of Desire is so much more.
If you have not read the first two books in this series I implore you to do so. This is one series where I will say, you want the back story. You want the story from the beginning so that you can feel and marvel at how much Patrick and Maddy go through, and by the time you are finished reading you will be marveling at how far they have come.
This is not your normal love story. There are painful details, there are shocking parts, and there are moments of wonder. In the end the one thing you will be is overjoyed with our couples successes and in awe of the love they have, not only from each other, but from the rest of their “family”
Aleatha, there are not enough stars for my appreciation of not only Ashes but the entire Web of Desire series!
Ashes
Conclusion of Aleatha’s Web of Desire Trilogy.
From the first word to the last I loved this series. Nothing short of Aleatha Romig’s high standard in her writing capabilities.
Twists, turns, suspense, shocks, love, loss the series had it all.
Can’t wait for the next Trilogy!!
Awesome ending to a great trilogy!!
This is an Audible review.
From the very beginning of this trilogy to the end it was been nonstop intrigue. This the third and final installment we get much needed answers to the how’s the why’s, pieces fall into place to a human trafficking ring that tried to hold down the resilience of Madeleine when her only goal was to keep safe her daughter Ruby. We also see a new side to the enigma that is Sterling Sparrow, and Patrick wishes finally come true.
The narration by Savannah & Noah was excellent.
Ashes is the ending we ALL have been waiting for! Intense, scorching hot, dangerous, and a romance that leaves you breathless, this third and final book was utterly amazing.
This is a dark and seductive read and I swear these characters dug deep into my heart and consumed every part of me. I barely wanted to eat or sleep, because when I put it down I could only think of picking it back up again to find out what happens next. It’s written gold right here!
Ashes gets a ACTION PACKED FIVE DARK AND ENTICING STARS!
I loved this series. Aleatha is a new author for me but I love her writing. She has some plot twists in this series which I loved also. A lot of action and heartache. It makes you to want to keep reading and finish the book in a day.
Have you held your breath through a whole book before?if you have been Aleatha’s then you know what I mean. An explosively emotional ride that sees Patrick and Madeleines story come to its conclusion. I don’t think I could love Patrick more than I do in this book.
Ashes sets out Madeleines life and it’s not the most pleasant of journeys but it’s a story needing to be told. It is compassionately and empathetically written.
The relationship of all the characters is so strong and loyalty bounds off the pages.
Expect a few twists that you don’t see coming.
5 emotionally fabulous stars.
Aleatha Romig has done it again! I am left breathless and so very satisfied with the conclusion to the Web of Desire trilogy. Now that I’ve had some time to reflect, I’ve decided to keep this review brief. The less you know, the better. Just know that you’re going on one heck of an awesome ride and know you won’t want it to end. Patrick and Madeline’s story is so full of hope, strength, courage and determination. I love everything about it. Their journey wrapped up perfectly but not without some angst (not too much thank goodness) and frustration, which of course only fuel the story more. Ashes is truly another masterpiece and one you will not put down from start to finish. My only very small minor issue is that I do wish there were more scenes and dialogue involving all the secondary characters, especially the wives. That’s always my favorite part, as I love all the banter, and I felt like it was missing, or opportunities were glossed over. Which is completely fine and does not affect my feelings at all about the book. Just an observation from someone who has fallen in love with all the guys and their girls.
I am so excited for what the future holds as Aleatha takes us on yet another journey later this year (I hope!).
Quote: My life with Patrick wouldn’t be delayed another seventeen years. I was done being a commodity that could be bartered, traded, or sold.
Web of Desire is the first trilogy I’ve read by Aleatha Romig and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed every single book. Ashes, the conclusion to the trilogy, had me up late turning page after page and very thankful for the opportunity to review this trilogy because it’s simply outstanding. In an effort to keep my reviews spoiler-free, I’ve refrained from commenting on much of the storyline so read this review without fear.
Patrick and Madeline’s story was explosive from the very beginning and Ashes quite literally couldn’t have offered a more perfect ending to this second chance romance. Aleatha’s writing is outstanding and utterly enthralling. I LOVED the dual POV, the character chemistry and the intensity that builds and builds until the very end of Ashes! I couldn’t put down a single book in the series and I couldn’t have been more surprised to say that about each book. Often you find that at least one book in a trilogy is slower and less entertaining than the others but I never felt that way reading the Web of Desire books. Yes, readers interested in this trilogy must read the books in the correct order—Spark, Flame and finally Ashes—however, the series also falls in line with the Sparrow Web series.
The correct reading order of the Sparrow Web Series is:
WEB OF SIN:
Secrets
Lies
Promises
TANGLED WEB:
Twisted
Obsessed
Bound
WEB OF DESIRE:
Spark
Flame
Ashes
If you’re like me and love to read books in order, I can put your mind at ease—you truly shouldn’t be overwhelmed by the other trilogies in the Sparrow Web series. Each trilogy (listed above) is its own storyline and that alone should make the decision to read Aleatha’s work less daunting! As I mentioned previously, I’d never read a book by Aleatha prior to receiving the copies of Spark, Flame, and Ashes on my kindle for my blog. However, that being said, I now have every intention of reading these books in the correct reading order. I highly recommend the Web of Desire Series! If you’re in a binge reading mood, you couldn’t possibly find yourself disappointed with these books! I would tell you this book might contain some triggers for certain readers—it talks of some pretty heavy subject matter. However, if dark romance is something you’ve read in the past, you’ll find this falls perfectly into the genre. Also, if you enjoy well-developed storylines and characters, I found that Aleatha did a superb job with both! Five Stars for sure! One-click the series now!!!!
