3 STARS
I'm on the fence about this one. It was well-written and the plot was interesting enough to keep me reading until the end. The steamy scenes were just that: steamy. Very satisfying on that front. The characters were all likable, or hate-able in regards to Mosier. I think my main complaint about this book was that I was expecting more of a Cinderella undertone. The reversal of stepsisters to stepbrothers was fresh, but there was hardly any interaction between Ash and them. In fact, I have no idea who Damon is besides being Anders's twin brother. Giving Anders some depth and more of a back story was a nice twist but I wanted more from it. Like I said, the story was engaging enough to keep me interested enough to finish the book, mainly because I wanted to see what would happen with Mosier found Ashley (because we all know that is what's going to happen). And that confrontation fell flat for me. I wanted more OMGWTFGAHH from it. I think my view of the book is a bit tinted because I was just expecting more of a Cinderella vibe from it. If you're looking for a solid Contemporary Romance with a legit twisted stepfather aspect, then Fragments of Ash is for you.
