Patrick and Madeleine’s story began years ago, but they both thought they had lost the loves of their lives. Than seeing each other again neither of them could forget the past seventeen years and how they had changed who they were. Or did those years only make they stronger and more ready to become one.
This story is an amazing conclusion to this series. Aleatha puts magic into words and brings all the Sparrow gang to life. I completely enjoy taking this journey and look forward to many more journeys with Aleatha, yes I have been Aleatha’d and can’t wait to dive into more of her stories.
Oh my gosh!! This series has been amazing so far and book 3 does not disappoint. Patrick and Maddie are so different from other characters in Aleatha’s books. I love them so much! It seems like the twists and turns in the series just don’t stop coming. I am sad to to say goodbye to Maddie and Patrick, but I can’t wait to see what is next for our Sparrow “family”
I absolutely loved the conclusion of Patrick and Maddie’s story. Old issues and acquaintances come to light, but will it all be too much? Ashes is hot, intense, full of suspense, and love. I read it all in one sitting, I could not put it down. I definitely recommend the entire Web of Desire series. I have been waiting for Patrick’s story and Aleatha did not disappoint.
I loved this conclusion. We learn so much about Maddie in this book, her unknown past, her relation to Sterling, and what is planned for her future. I loved how it all tied together and questions I didn’t even know I had were answered. This story moved fast, I didn’t want to put it down so I could see what would happen next. Patrick is swoon worthy and a total badass. Maddie has been through so much and her strength shines in this book. She’s quite the badass herself. If you’re looking for an event filled, twisted ride of an ending, this is the book for you!
This has been my favorite trilogy of the whole web series! Madeline is my hero and Patrick is just an Alpha without the hole! The hell of human trafficking is devastating and unfortunately true! Ms. Romig has a way of educating you but also telling a beautiful story. I do feel that a couple of the characters got off too easy but I guess I’m feeling a little vengeful right now! Excellent read
Never disappointing, Aleatha Romig delivered yet again. This book is the final book in the Web of Desires trilogy. Patrick and Madeline’s story ignites not only passion and desire but the need for revenge and retribution as well. I loved falling into this story and the Sparrow world. Seeing how this story was woven together kept me reading well into the night. If you love a good second-chance love story, definitely start with this series. You never know how it’s all going to shake out in the end!
4 and 1/2 stars
The last book… oh boy. After the bombshell at the end of Flames, I was wondering what could this all possibly mean. I truly feel for Madeline. She has been used by so many and viewed as a commodity rather than a person. It’s hard to comprehend. She is a fighter all the way. Patrick is an amazing character. He is strong but also incredibly sweet and caring. He listens to Ruby and I think that is a first for her. No male has ever listened to her.
Madeline and Patrick were ripped apart but love never died. It was always simmering beneath the surface, waiting for its chance to catch ablaze once more. I do love seeing the characters from the other two series Aleatha has written in this world. I think Patrick was right when he said that they were a family and able to be who they are with each other. The interactions between the characters were brilliant. In this story, questions are answered and justice is served. It is an intense read with the full story only being revealed near the very end. This keeps us in suspense and hooked until the last page. Definitely a series to sink your teeth into.
Perfection-Epic
Ashes by Aleatha Romig touched by heart and soul.
Every page of the Web of Desire series was full of emotion and intrigue. It is a story that will stay with you long after you have read. I loved this series and all the books within the Sparrow Webs.
Aleatha Romig once again brings her dangerous and brilliant storytelling to a compelling and mesmerizing end to a delectable and powerful series, Web of Desire. Her talent shines in strong writing and perfect characters that turns this series into a mega hit in 2020. My heart is melting with every layer and every world that conjured up an explosive series filled with incredible characters and a stunning story. I adore Aleatha Romig. She has a way of creating a world you can fully indulge in. She has a way of bringing you deep into a story that gets you on the edge of your seat. Ashes, the final conclusion in the Web of Desire trilogy perfectly concludes the story with a beautiful and capturing finish.
What an incredible conclusion. What a knockout of an ending. Impressive. Gorgeous. Ashes, written by Aleatha Romig enchanted me into a hard hitting ending to a striking series. Ashes opened my heart and made me fall in love even more in love with the story of Patrick and Madeline. Raw. Emotional. Suspenseful. Ashes touches a light on real issues to bring you a touching, brave, titillating and effortless story with splendid characters, sensual chemistry, bewitching romance and knife-edge suspense. Aleatha Romig bares her soul to give you a gripping story.
Partick and Madeline’s moves my heart. Their love is the most powerful gift as a reader. They battle so much as a couple and find their way to each other. Absolutely alluring. Madeline is a brave woman. A survivor who went through so much. Her strength and loving soul despite all the horrible things done to her, really made me love her as a character. Definitely one of my favourite Aleatha Romig characters. Patrick makes me swoon. He is protective and goes above and beyond for the people he loves. Very admirable.
I am going to miss this series. I am ready for the next Aleatha Romig series.

Time to uncover the full story in this the concluding book of three. This series has had me gripped from start to finish. I fell in love with Patrick and his Maddie girl, the homeless raga muffins who became best friends. A team of two who are betrayed by people they trusted.
Madeleine Tate aka Miller aka Kelly is a stunning woman. Beautiful and fierce on the outside and even more so on the inside. Awesome poker player. A protector and a survivor.
Her truths are revealed. They pack a mighty big punch.
You don’t have to have read the books about the other characters in the series but it helps to understand how their pieces fit together. A family tree would be good but would contain spoilers!
Sterling Sparrow still scares the living daylights out of me. Patrick Kelly is the soft, sensitive one. Mason Pierce is the hard as nails tough guy. Now the wait for Reid the final Sparrow.
Oh wow! What a great story from beginning to end with this whole trilogy. All the twist and turns of Maddie and Patrick’s story kept me guessing and my mind all over the place. Just when I thought I had it figured out there would be another revelation that I never saw coming. Ashes was a great ending to this trilogy and brought out every emotion possible. Aleatha knows how to keep her readers on the edge of their seats all while giving them the hotness that they so desire out of a great book. Loved this trilogy from beginning to end and highly recommend that you dive into this one.
Happy Reading Everyone!!!
Ashes is the conclusion to this Web of Desire trilogy and it was an epic ending.
Pasts and secrets are revealed, but its also a story of second chance romance.
Patrick and Madeleine’s story was so good, that you can’t help but read it in one go, because you want to see how this is going to end.
Madeleine’s life hasn’t been an easy one. She lives a life of survival and sacrificed a lot for the people that she loves. She never had a home or any of the things that she is striving for now. Then she meets Patrick again and it feels like her whole life is being consumed by him, again… But maybe this is their chance to finally get what they missed the first time around, or is just to much to ask this time around?
This was my first books of this author and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. From the first book Spark till Ashes it was intriguing, suspenseful, amazing chemistry and definitely unpredictable. If you wanting to try this author, start with Spark and get hooked from the first book till the last
After the epic ending from Book #2 Flame, I have been anxiously waiting for the conclusion of this series with Book #3 Ashes. And this book is absolutely incredible. It’s about a love that withstands not only time and separation but the worst depravity imaginable. Now with a second chance at love, Patrick & Maddie have so many obstacles, secrets, bad people with plans and hidden agendas plotting against them. But as Maddie soon finds out they also have a fierce team behind them and their leader, Sterling Sparrow learns he now has his own person interest in fighting and winning this war with Patrick & Maddie, Mason & Laurel, Reid & Lorna, and of course Aranaea. As difficult and emotional as it was to read at times due to the content, the sense of family with everyone so involved was perfect. As always, Aleatha is a master storyteller and provides the remaining clues and pieces in order to put the entire picture together. You will not be disappointed as you race to the ending of this intense, unputdownable, heart wrenching and captivating love story. This will easily be your next 1 click!!!
I have been hooked since the beginning of this trilogy. Its seriously phenomenal. Maddie and Patrick have stolen my heart. There are alot of authors that I love and amazing stories. But truly the SPARROW world is one that slays me like no other.
This plot just pulled me in and didn’t let go. So many twists and turns. Just an unforgettable journey filled with heartbreak, tragedy, smoldering heat, and jaw dropping situations.
I’ll be thinking about this read with a serious book hangover. It’s really just that good. I’m so excited for the next trilogy to come starting in September. I just know it’ll be epic!
What a ride we’ve been on.
So if you’ve been Aleatha’d – you know that nothing is ever quite as it seems. We’ve been on this up and down journey of Madeline’s and Patrick’s and this final chapter does not disappoint.
This is a very hard read at times, but all of these books have been. Maddie has suffered greatly, but through it all – her self-sacrificing love for her child is evident throughout. Along with the hope that Maddie and Patrick can finally get their happy ending.
“We’ve been dealt some unusual cards and lived in the center of the flames. Now that the ashes have cleared, we’re still here, better than before…”
This story is a favorite and I believe Patrick is my favorite among the Sparrow men. Hard to describe without giving too much away, but this trilogy has been worth while to see Madeline on the other side even if it was extremely painful to get there.
I voluntarily requested and read an advance reader copy.
From the start of this series, I was HOOKED. Aleatha has made this entire fictional story come to life. The characters are complex but relatable. The chemistry and push and pull between Patrick and Madeline is delicious!!! What a conclusion to this series. I love being able to read more about the other couples too… I never wanted it to end but what a glorious finale. 5 stars times a million.
What a great ending! 4.5 stars for the last book in Patrick and Madeline’s story. More twist and turns were revealed, letting us discover the mysteries along with the characters. We got to watch Maddie heal and work to reclaim what was taken from her. We relive her incredible strength as she took one hit after another, all while raising a little girl and protecting her from that same evil. I’m looking forward to seeing their continued journey in the books of the other Sparrow characters!
*As a long time fan of Aleatha’s, I enjoyed the nod to the maleficent housekeeper 😉
What a epic conclusion for Maddie and Patrick. So many twist and turns. That will have you say wow. Absolutely loved how she ended these two story………….
Need to catch up on Maddie and Patrick, then you will want to read Spark and Flame.
5 Stars!
