Continuing on from Fast Burn and what a ending to this fabulous series. In Deep Burn Asher and Elodie’s story is emotional and raw. I love these two , his need to protect her melts your heart. I really didnt’t want their story to end because it means the end to the whole series and what a series it is. I have loved every minute of it and I highly recommend this book and the whole series.
Such an emotional story!! Awesome duet!!
No No No No No dang it! Okay okay, yeah she did it again. This author has a way of digging deep into your heart and just ripping it to shreds. The pain and anguish, the healing, the recovery. They realize it isn’t just her that needs to heal, hell his demons from his time in service are now aggravated with visions of her. He’s willing to sacrifice himself to keep her safe and save her from having to relive things over and over. She’s found the family and support she never knew she could have. These two have now joined the ranks of those that came before them. I wasn’t real keen on this series but because I absolutely adore this author I gave it a try. I mean old horny men going for the young innocent virgin ins’t really my type of read, oh but these are so much more. This is the last book in the series and the author teases that she may revisit the family for an update later. I love when the author gives us a chance to say hello to old friends while introducing more. I absolutely loved it.
WOW! What an emotional, gripping, tear-jerker of a read.
Not only for the storyline or the connections between the characters, but also due to the fact this is the last book in the Easton Family Saga.
Picking up right from the cliffhanger ending of Fast Burn. The heartbreaking and uncertain time that Asher and Elodie are both facing. Soulmates that need to find their way back to each other, at the same time as trying to heal and put the past behind them. The rest of the Easton clan there to support them if and when they need it.
Abigail Davies has hit a home run with Deep Burn. A perfect way to end this duet and this whole series.
*******
These Easton’s and there stories certainly won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Their loyalty to one another, the support they show, the love they share, the family dynamic and banter between them are all things that will stay with me.
Thank you Abigail Davies for writing such amazing characters, for the heartbreaking storylines, for the teary eyes and all the tissues used. For the hours I spent captivated by your words. I look forward to more.
This was a nice conclusion to the Burned Duet, about Asher and Elodie. It didn’t hold my attention as much as the first book did, but I liked Asher and Elodie.
Deep Burn is the last book of the Easton Family saga and what a amazing way to end it.It was a beautiful and emotional story of two soulmates not only trying to heal themselves but each other.
Loved every single word of this duet and sad too see it come to an end.
Asher and Elodie have endured so much to be together and now they must face the biggest battle of their lives. After what happened to Elodie her way of trying to deal with the pain is avoidance however doing that will only make the situation that Asher faces that much more dire.
Asher regrets that emotions made unable to control his actions but the only part of the outcome he regrets is the separation from Elodie when she needs him the most. He knows that the best way for her to heal is for him to be by her side and there is no sacrifice too large for the woman he loves.
This is a heartbreaking and inspiring story about love, family and healing. The strength and resilience that both Asher and Elodie show just illustrates how much they belong together.
Well didn’t you go and just shatter my poor ‘lil heart!!!!….
I have to say, Abigail has a way with words! You don’t just read her story, you feel her words and these ones were pure superb!
This is book 2 which follows straight on from the gut-wrenching ending of book 1, my word talk about tears!…
(This deals with a very sensitive and traumatic and emotional subject so you may want to keep that in mind if you have any triggers, Abigail has wrote it beautifully and has most definitely done it justice, but still…it’s deep!)…
Asher and Elodie are the perfect match, he’s a typical Easton when it comes to the ones he love – he will protect them with everything he has and it’s amazing to read. Elodie? Man, that girl will break you! She has had so much thrown at her and still she soldiers on, a beautiful person both inside and out.
I’m going to leave my review here because I’m not going to give anything away regarding what happens! I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book, this duet and the entire Easton saga! So sad that it’s come to an end but I’m hoping the author will keep us up to date on them…a few wee novellas here and there? Xmas special? Big events etc? Just a suggestion
An excellent story that I absolutely adored!
*I voluntarily received an arc from the author and this is my honest review.
This book hurt. I knew it would after the way the first part of the duet ended, but I was completely gutted. Sexual assault is a subject matter I hold dear to my heart: I’ve had my own experience with it, so reading this fueled everything that I felt. I’m such a huge advocate for believing women and men who are assaulted regardless of the circumstance, and this book did that justice.
I felt exactly what Elodie felt, how she tried to block it out of her mind even when the dark thoughts kept creeping in. Her ranging emotions of blaming herself to finally accepting that no matter what, it was her rapist that was in the wrong. (Because nothing, and I mean nothing causes rape, except the rapist.) I felt all the anger and anguish Asher felt for wanting and destroy the very person who hurt the woman he loves more than anything, the great lengths he went to protect Elodie, even if it meant sentencing himself to prison.. This was just a painful, beautiful, real read. I encourage everyone to read this duet.
I’m so sad thay our time with the Easton family is over, but I am just in awe of the talent this author possesses. She’s definitely someone to look out for!!
My only complaint was that I felt this book was too short, but that in no way takes away from the beauty if this story. Please go one click now!
**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions!**
I was late to the Easton Family Saga books and if they are all like this duet I know I will love them all. I can’t wait to go back and read the characters I have gotten to know in Fast Burn and Deep Burn. Deep Burn picks up where Fast Burn left off and it was a really tough situation to read. Abigail wrote it with care. Asher and Elodie find such strength in each other. Deep Burn has their relationship growing though odds are against them. I enjoyed the realness and hope that’s infused in their story! I was totally invested in them
Deep Burn (Burned Duet #2) is a brilliant and superbly written love story that’s heartbreakingly tragic, raw, and emotional. Asher and Elodie are great characters, especially Elodie whose strength is inspiring.
As with all the previous duets in the fantastic Easton Family Saga series, this had me hooked from page one and I couldn’t have put it down if I’d wanted to; which I didn’t!
I’m sad this amazing series is finished. I love this family so much and hope (fingers crossed) we get to catch up with them in the future.
I highly recommend it!
Let me start off by saying that I am sad to see that this is the last book in this saga that is the Easton family. There is just one this that I do know and that is there is life before The Easton’s and then there is life after The Easton’s. And now I’m having to go thru my life knowing that there won’t be another book in this saga and I will have to just do another re-read of all the emotional wrecking books.
Now lets get to the pain that is reviewing the last of the Easton books without any spoilers. (And I say this only because now I have to live a life knowing that Davies will not be giving me anymore of this family.)
The first part of Elodie and Asher’s story was one that left us on a cliff hanger that shredded the hearts of all the readers. I was wanting to hold Elodie so much that let her know that she was a strong person and that she was going to make it thru to the other side of this. Asher is the one guy that is there for her no matter what, he is that knight in shining armor that she didn’t think she would ever have. Asher was the other half to Elodie, they both are just existing in life and they both need each other to heal what can be healed.
This book was everything and more than I could of ever thought. Hell that could be said about this entire saga. I had everything that I could of ever asked Davies to put into an Easton story:
1. age gap
2. strong alpha male
3. strong female character
4. family
5. angst to the 10th degree
6. a male character that you just want to grab and hold onto
7. a story that will stay with well after the final page
8. swoon worthy male characters
9. a female character that you can’t help but love
and
10. throw your kindle level angst
This saga was a journey with many different parts to it, and each part has different issues of its own that a reader can connect to. I was one of those readers that connected to each and everyone of theses characters and let them speak to me. Davies was able to create these characters and their stories so that they were ones that will stay with you long after you finish reading. Yes I am sorry to say that this this the end of this journey with this family, but I am so glad that I took it. Davies was a new to me author in the beginning of this and now I am glad to say to say that I have found a new go to author.
And so the end is here and it was the most anticipated ending i have ever had with a book. I absolutely loved every word of these books and this one was no exception.
We continued where Asher and Elodie left off in the last book and for all who have read the previous book, you’ll know what that start entails. It was a hard, emotional read that has you reaching for the tissues as well as championing Elodie for her bravery and courage throughout the book, let alone swooning over Asher and his love that shines bright for ‘his girl’
I am heartbroken these books are over but I’ll be buying them all on paperback and rereading each one again because i can’t get enough of them.
The Easton family saga is an absolute must read.
Deep Burn is emotional, gritty, and heartbreaking with its awareness raising and timely subject matter. Asher and Elodie are an awe inspiring and beautiful dynamic together. Five stars for this bittersweet and well written wrap up of the Easton Family Saga!!
I knew it would be a rough start to the book with how the first one ended but…. damn, that hurt. It was absolutely gut wrenching reading the first few chapters.
Like the rest of the series, there were highs, lows, drama, angst and oh so much love.
Abigail Davies has created such an amazing group of characters- you find yourself wishing they were your family. They take loyalty and family to a whole new level.
Elodie and Asher. I don’t even know where to begin explaining them… they are just so perfect for each other. The connection from the first book is even more intense this time around. That’s all I’m going to say because I don’t want to give any spoilers.
I’m so sad this series has finished! I’ve loved every single story of it. I’m really hoping there will be a novella for Leo- all the other Eastons have a story, so he needs one too!
I have read many books and have read through to the end of many series that I loved yet I have never been less ready to say goodbye to a series than I am the Easton family.
Asher and Elodie became my new favorite Easton family couple while I read the pages of this book. I don’t even know the exact moment it happened; I think it was a build up to that conclusion.
The way these 2 connected more emotionally throughout this book brought their chemistry from embers of a fire in book 1 to a scorching inferno in this conclusion of their story.
The inner struggles they faced were enough to bring anyone to their knees but these 2 even when not telling the other everything they should pulled strength from one another like fuel on a fire.
I appreciated that we got more time with the other members of the Easton family, it was absolutely necessary to the story but it also felt like being able to spend time with loved ones as a final goodbye but I’m going to hope that this is more of a see you later than a final goodbye to this family that captured my heart nearly a year ago, I don’t think I will stop thinking of this family any time soon.
This author has a talent for writing women so live through some of the worst life has to offer, yet they survive and find a way to keep moving forward. Elodie is one such woman. She’s got to find herself, her strength, and her confidence after a brutal attack, and she’s got Asher and his family at her back to prop her up when needed. She and Asher draw in each other for strength and make it through.
Don’t get me wrong. There were times when I wanted to slap Asher for his misguided honor, but his family and Elodie were strong enough to work around him to find the right sort of justice for his “crime”. But to have a love like the men and women of this series find makes up for his brush with stupidity. He just needed a good slap upside the head, physically or emotionally, to understand just how strong and capable Elodie is…and for him to realize that protecting someone doesn’t mean making all of the decisions and sacrifices for them.
I’m going to miss this series, but I’m excited to see what else comes our way from this author. As for Asher and Elodie, they were the perfect end to this saga and rounded out this family perfectly.
What a beautiful ending to this Series. I’m so sad that this is over but more importantly I’m so happy with Deep Burn. We all know that Abigail left us with our hearts torn out with Fast Burn. But she puts our hearts back together. In such a emotional way that you can’t put the book down. I literally never left my bed, once this book was downloaded on my kindle.
Asher and Elodie’s story is about two soulmates who fight to get to their happily ever after. They were so fresh and then all hell broke loose. These two have to get stronger together. These two have such a beautiful bond that all you can do is cheer them on. And the Easton Family will be forever a favorite. They know what family is and they are there for each other like no other. And together these two slay all the dragons. Together.
Heartbreaking, Heartwarming and ohhhh so good.
I would highly recommend this book to any romance reader. I would recommend starting from the beginning of the series. It will wrap around your heart like mine.
