Book Description:
She takes my breath away; she is so beautifully damaged.
Yes I had broken her, ravished her life, destroyed her happiness. I brought her to ultimate despair. I was responsible for all the pain and suffering that now brought her to her knees in front of me.

Broken.
Hopeless.
Reckless in her agony.

She is a mirror of my own tortured soul.

But what I took away I can give back.
In ways she cannot even begin to imagine.

She is everything right in all my wrongs.

She loves me. She needs me.

She has no idea I’m the one who wrecked her life.

** Vandal is a dark romance with light BDSM. He is emotionally damaged and manipulative, but still wants love. This book deals with death, grief, deception, substance abuse, depression, and graphic sex. If this is not your thing, you can skip this book and move onto the next in the series and you will not be lost. Vandal is not the sweetheart that the other guys in Ashes & Embers are - but even the dark and damaged deserve to be loved, right? **

My Thoughts :
I cried at the beginning of this book and I cried at the end. My emotions were all over the place between the characters and the story itself. Both are damaged, broken, hurt almost beyond repair but together they find a way to mend one another souls.

Vandal is a man that you wont ever forget. He is a man on a mission, a mission of self destruction. And that path cost him more than he ever thought possible. Tabitha is a woman who had it all. She is the kind of woman fairy tales are made of. But they are not the only ones who will steal your heart in this tale, there is Sterling.

They say our greatest gift is to love but what do you do when love embraces you in the ice cold depths of death, loneliness, self hatred, fear, and depression? Love is fueled by love even when you may not recognize it as Vandal and Tabitha learned for themselves. It changed them forever. Are you brave enough to let it change you? Read their story and find out.
