From USA Today Bestselling author K Webster and Nikki Ash, comes a modern telling of a classic tale.This isn’t a typical love story. This is a story of what happens when love is so powerful and all-consuming that it has the ability to destroy everyone involved. It’s definitely not pretty and it’s certainly not a fairytale, but it’s their story and it couldn’t be told any other way.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by the authors)…
I don’t even know where to begin to write a review about this book. My mind is completely blown at the moment; this book killed my brain and destroyed my heart.
One thing I will say I absolutely hated Catrina and I just hated everything she did.
This book flowed differently than any other book I’ve ever read and I truly enjoyed. I honestly thought I would get confused with the timeline but surprisingly it was easy to follow and did not disrupt my reading progress.
It is a romance story once you get past all the other stuff, trust me. This book will definitely stay with me for a very long time maybe even forever, it’s that kind of book!
Okay… so have to say… I had literal, TANGIBLE anxiety over starting this read. Like, I could feel an inner debate going on in my head, not over if I should read it or not, but if I ready for the ride I knew was going to come. Cause if you’ve ever read K Webster, you know that is what is coming. Anywhos… once I finally won my internal battle, I dove right in head first, thinking I was fully prepared for what was to come. I was swept away with the intense desire Heath had for Catrina… PHEW! It was deliciously naughty, and I couldn’t get enough, until I was doused with a cold bucket of water! I had another reader I was going back in forth with on, discussing the emotions that were stirring inside of me, along with noticing how my vocabulary had narrowed down to singular four-letter words… like words that rhyme with “Duck”… If Helen heard me, she would have washed my mouth out with soup, many times over.
This is a retelling of a story, that is being retold over again, but with everything that is going on, you can’t help but get wrapped up into each individual relationship that are going on simultaneously. Each one tugs on your heartstrings, dragging you along for all the pain and pleasure that each character lives through. I will admit, I did have to put it down once or twice, take a breather and pour myself another glass of whiskey… You will feel so worked over that you will either need a hard drink, a smoke, or a hot lay… or all three, but was drawn back, not being able to be away from it for long. By the end, I was speechless, letting everything my heart had been through wash over me. Every hurt, ache, heart racing moment was worth the anxiety when I started.
Nikki Ash and K Webster, stayed true to the original Wuthering Heights, while adding their delicious voices to each part of the story. So if you are up for a revved up version of this tragic romance, you definitely need to pick this up. Don’t let it sit on your TBR shelf for long, cause you need this in your life.
This is one of those books that will definitely be with you long after you read it. This is one of those loves thats all consuming, won’t let you go, so deep and intense. At times it was so hard to read but holds you in its grip and you just have to continue to read to find out comes next. I truly enjoyed this book so much my heart was literally broken and I was an emotional mess but it was so good and I loved it so freaking much!!!
Geez. This book… this book is… gah, I have no words. This book is something else. Something else in the “crazy, hot, good, mindfuck” sort of way…
It’s different from other books. It’s refreshing. I like finding “different books” because a lot of books are so similar in their tropes and storylines that they just all blend together.
I don’t want to spoil anything. This is really just a book you have to read… simple as that.
I do have to mention that I’m a fan of Nikki Ash but this was my first little taste of anything by K Webster. These two are magic together. I couldn’t tell who was writing what. They just flowed together. It was flawless. And I can’t wait to read a solo by K Webster.
Nikki Ash and K Webster team up for Heath and the result is magic. Get ready for a dark, angsty, emotional ride. This story had me going through every emotion but I loved every second of it. Love is a powerful emotion, but so are hate and revenge! This story is intense but you will not be disappointed.
I really didn’t know what to expect when going into this book as the blurb doesn’t give much away, so I was extremely surprised by the story we got and it leaves a pretty powerful message behind.
There are too many plots to give recaps of what goes on and tbh going in blind is probably your best bet. What I can tell you is that technically your getting 3 stories for the price of one! Yes don’t worry I know that sounds confusing but pay attention whilst reading and there will be nothing confusing you at all in the story.
There’s a few different characters throughout as it goes through a couple of generations but the main character Heath is a consistent all through. For me his persona was a total car crash and I kinda hated him initially but he does start to redeem himself somewhat and grow on you towards the end. Some of the story is mild taboo in regards to relationship status (no we aren’t talking brother and sister or parental in any way so don’t worry) so if you don’t like that kind of thing then maybe skip it although it’s only for a small portion of events.
The plot itself is a bit of a lesson in life which is powerful at times and shows differences in how love combined with money can destroy everything in it’s wake and leave nothing but misery behind. So all in all a roller coaster of events, relationships and twists and this definitely isn’t your usual happy ever after romance.
“…happy endings are for fairy tales, not reality.”
Y’all… this book slayed me. I pulled an all-nighter over the weekend to finish it and it was just after 5:00 a.m. when I reached the end…and almost an hour later, when the sun started to peak over the horizon, I was still bawling my eyes out. This modern re-telling of a classic twisted my heart and wrung it dry. I am still vibrating with so many emotions right now trying to sort through my feelings to write this review.
This book was so bananas it made my head spin.
I thought I had it all figured out and then BAM, I got smacked in the face with a plot twist that took a completely different direction that I wasn’t even prepared for.
But my heart, oh God my poor poor heart, bled for Heath. I ached for him, cried for him, even if he turned into a bitter and vengeful jerk…but he loved with such a fiery intensity that ended up slowly poisoning his mind, twisting his heart and tainting his soul. A love so all-consuming that turned dark and destroyed the lives and hearts of the ones around him. He was just a broken man who couldn’t see beyond the hate and revenge for how life has treated him. I just wanted to wrap him up in a blanket, snuggle him close to me and keep him safe.
“It’s like his love for her became a beast. A beast hell-bent on destroying everything responsible for taking her away from him.”
I’m not gonna lie… I wanted to scream and throw this book at times, but it was so addictive and crazy that I could not put it down! I had to stop myself from skimming through to the end because my patience was wearing thin on trying to figure out how this book was going to turn out. But I didn’t even want it to end because I was afraid what the outcome would be. And once I finally got there, there’s no other way to describe it other than bittersweet. I didn’t realize I could be so dang happy, yet so sad at the same time. My emotions literally felt like they had been on the biggest roller coaster of my entire life, but I still LOVED THIS BOOK!
The characters, the plot, the writing… everything was perfect. K Webster and Nikki Ash had a flawless dynamic. They’re writing paired together in a seamless flow that knocked me off my socks and blew my mind. They took this book and absolutely crushed it! Heath is one of those books that I will be keeping on my “forever favorites” list. Well done ladies! This book was EPIC!
Oh no gosh what a spin to a old fairytale …
I loved it !
I think this may have been the best book so far by Nikki Ash I keep saying that but she just keeps getting better I’m new to k.Webster but I will be looking into her in the future….. a great read that u get sucked into and don’t really want it to end, do ur self a favour and give Heath a read ……
Wow what an intense, emotional yet crazy ass story! There were times I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Moments I didn’t know who was good and who was bad. my heart would break at times, while I was just as angry.
But this is a must read! Totally enjoyed every moment! there were so many characters, yet every one of them played a role in making the story. I loved every single one of them, and hated them too. it was a love hate thing.
I’m left wondering what I just read! This literally isn’t your typical love story! But it’s refreshing to read something totally different from what I normally read. I devoured this and I have all kinds of feels! some stories just suck in you and make you feel your part of that world. like every character you truly know them, its like your living that moment with them. your feeling their emotions, their pain, their love. this book did just that. once I started I couldn’t put this down. I didn’t want to miss a minute.
Nikki Ash is a new author for me but I knew if she teamed up with K, then I knew to expect nothing but a great book! And they both delivered one great escape full of emotions and twists. the story line is new for me as well, but after researching I think they rock this classic tale by making it there own. I hope we get more of these two.
Heath is one dark and emotional read! Filled with love, secrets and twists to the point where you are on the edge of your seat and wondering wth did I read!?
It’s Heat’s story, about his obsession and his love.
There are other characters to fall in love with, and to complete the story!
-Stina, A Woman & Her Books.
This book left me with so many feelings even days after reading it!
I really loved Heath I wanted to hate him but I just couldnt Heath was real with real emotion and real life happening to him. Love makes us crazy sometimes and boy did it ever…. I wanted to cry for Catrina but well I just couldnt I cant stand these types in real life and well I cant in my book world either.. In the end I’m emotional but feel so very lucky to have Heath in my little book bubble he definately stole one of my feelings
I recommend that you one click this amazing book and meet Heath and well everyone else in the book because they are all pretty amazing, it’s so so so worth it! I wish I could give it so many more stars than than the measly 5 because it deserves so many more!
K and Nikki thank you two for the beauty you gave us its raw, real and just plain everything
Heath … oh my goodness, where do I start?! This book blew me away! I had read the blurb and knew it was a modern story of a classic tale and loving Nikki Ash I knew I would read it without question! I’m embarrassed to admit this but I didn’t know what classic tale it was based on and I was trying to guess … I couldn’t have been more wrong!! (That book is now on my tbr!!).
The story had me mesmerized from the beginning and at one stage it crept up on me so quickly I couldn’t believe what I had read! One of the first times I’ve ever wanted to throw my kindle and I didn’t want to read on! I was so hooked though so of course I had to and was not disappointed. A very different kind of love story but I absolutely loved it!!
Heath is a somewhat troubled but devoted character (you will understand as you read it) and at times I loved him & loathed him, but I could see his way of thinking and his reasoning for his actions. I didn’t always agree with him but that is also what makes an incredible book!
I absolutely loved it and wish I could read it for the first time all over again!! I hope we see more co-written stories by Nikki Ash and K Webster. Over 5 stars for sure!!!
This book isn’t your typical love story, it is so much more! K Webster and Nikki Ash write phenomenal books, so when I found out they were co-writing Heath, a classic retelling with a modern twist! I knew I had to read this book. The story is told in two phenomenal parts, that suck you in and captivate you until the book ends. I don’t want to give too much away about this book, because I honestly believe going in blind is the best way to experience this book. What I will say is that Heath and Catrina’s love was powerful and their actions had consequences that impacted many people over the years. I’m not going to tell you what classic tale they put a modern spin on but I will say this, this book captivated me, shocked me and had me on an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. I finished this book a few days ago and I can’t stop thinking about it and I honestly don’t even want to start another book yet! I have the biggest book hangover from Heath!!! Trust me, you need this book in your life!!!!
OH MY GOSH!!!
In all honesty, no matter what I type here, it is not gonna do what Nikki Ash and K. Webster did to this retelling justice honestly, it is above and beyond anything I could or would have ever imagined.
Their writing alone, is phenomenal, but together it is like next level WOW! I real can not put into words what this book was like reading it really. There was so much. I mean there was the three POVs which totally worked and they switched off so soundly and going from the past to the present and from the three just worked so well together.
The book was, well HOT and just Holy crow dude, definitely I’m saying a must read. But it was also emotional and there was times I wanted to tear up but also be angry or just throw my Kindle!!
Everything just worked and was splendid!! I can not say this enough, there was so many times I had to pick my jaw up off the floor at what I was honestly reading, but in a good/epic way..
I’ve never read Wuthering Heights- but i knew the basis of the book- but really went into Heath with no expectations. I love Nikki Ash’s books but K Webster is new to me! Now I cannot wait to read all her books too.
This book is intense! Full of power, heartbreak, wealth, yet there is honesty, compassion and caring. The dynamic of all the characters kept me reading…. 3 stories in one. It was so well written. We know there are really messed up people in the world where you think- is that really how they are and is this really happening. Well I felt that so many times reading this book.
So many emotions from love, to tragic love, to loving relationships and lethal relationships and that really is ok- because it is real! These 3 loves stories and characters are fantastic though! And a must read!
I must admit that I have never read Wuthering Heights but after reading Heath it’s definitely on my TBR list. Heath is a book like no other that I have read before. There are multiple stories being told. In this book love is supposed to win over everything else. This holds true for some, but not for others. Love makes some stronger but others weaker. Some are only out for revenge while others are just happy with love. All of the characters in this book come together perfectly. I absolutely loved everything about this book. Thank you for writing something so unique.
Heath is not a romance novel. If you’re wanting a book that’s hearts and flowers, this is not it. This is the story of madman, crushed by love and fueled by revenge. It’s a story about power, jealousy, betrayal, and the harsh reality that not all stories are happy stories. It’s deep, dark, twisted, and shocking. It’s also absolutely brilliant.
Ash and Webster’s modern retelling of Wuthering Heights is beautifully written. They’ve perfectly captured the tragedy and devastation of the classic and applied it to a modern setting with their own spin on things. If you’re familiar with Wuthering Heights at all, reading Heath makes for a really unique experience. I absolutely loved it even though I couldn’t believe what I was reading at times.
When it comes to retellings of classics, it’s either hit or miss. This was absolutely a hit. I really enjoyed figuring everything out as they did not keep original names. The little Easter egg type details throughout were so fun for the literary nerd in me!
While this story is dark, they’ve found a way to add a little lightness. It’s perfect. 100% perfect and no doubt the best novel I’ve read in 2018. Read it!
“We’re going home.”
“And where’s that?”
“Together.”
I *gasp* have never read Wuthering Heights, so I was not sure what to expect about this modern retelling. I enjoyed the book, though. It was full of drama, angst, what you think might be love stories, and actual love stories. There are amazing characters, and amazingly horrible characters. This is a great read, and I’d recommend this book.
This story grabs your attention immediately and draws you in. It’s dark, it’s passionate, and it shows you what loves is all about. Great story would love more.
What a beautiful dark take. Wonderful modern re take of Wuthering Heights. Plus two of my favorite authors teaming up to write it!!!
You’re going to want to throw your book/kindle/phone! You’re going to be glad you didn’t!
Heath is a deliciously dark, twisted, broken and vengeful man. You want to hate him but feel for him as well. Catrina….well I can’t say anything good about her except for the child she gave birth to! I wanted to smack her. Elliot I don’t have many words for other than he really needed to grow a pair and open his eyes. Cat is a wonderful young heroine with a backbone! Harrison is everything!! Theo gets what’s coming for him but couldn’t gotten worse!
Read it!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!!!
