From Ashes (book 3)

I enjoyed the book. It has elements that reminded me of other PNR and fantasy books-a little bit of Significance, a little bit of Star Wars (light vs dark). Elise still manages to make it unique though and that is tough to do! I really liked Daughtry-she wants to be tough and save herself but she admits when she is just overwhelmed. Cody was tougher to love at times. Maybe if the book was dual POV I would have given it 5 stars. I also sometimes felt like I missed something-like there was a book before this one that would have introduced the characters. I felt like sometimes, characters just appeared and I found myself flipping back to see if I missed something.
All that aside, I really enjoyed this book and will dive right in to the next one for sure! Phoenix Rising creates a world that is unique yet still somewhat familiar and I found I really enjoyed that. Also, there is the fated mate trope and that is my favorite thing ever! There is suspense, steam, and even humor at times. While this was my first Elise Faber book, it will NOT be my last!

“Dammit. I need—”

Cody rolled to his back, pulling her with him. She ended up sprawled across him, the ceiling pressing along her back so that she was plastered against the wide expanse of his chest. His muscles were hard against her breasts, but she didn’t mind in the least.

Daughtry couldn’t get enough of him. She pressed her nose to his neck and inhaled his wholly masculine scent. It was addictive. She wanted to linger, to rub against his body until the smell of him was imbedded into her pores.

But Cody wasn’t patient. He grabbed her face, stealing her lips.

Finally she broke away, gasping for air. She pressed a row of careful kisses all along his scar, as if her mouth might somehow erase the reminder of the grievous injury.

He shivered and pulled her face back up. She squirmed, wanting — aching — to get closer and came in contact with—

Holy shit.

She couldn’t stop herself from rubbing against the hard length of him, making them both groan in pleasure.

A distant part of her mind screamed at her to slow down, that sex was bad for her. But the bigger part soaked in Cody, absorbing the whirlwind of arousal she’d never felt before.

Was this what it could be like?

His hands went to her hips, and he started to move her, as if to flip her onto her back. She gave a little cry of pain when her hair snagged on a root in the wall.

“No,” she said when he began to push her away, attempting to slide out from beneath her. They’d started this—

“Why is this damned hole so small?” she asked as she reached up to claw at her hair until it came loose then finished rolling to her back. Her every nerve was on fire for him. There was no stopping.

“It’s only made for one person. Just enough room to lie down and sit up.” Cody’s voice was husky, his words quiet. His heavy weight pressed her down into the earthen floor, making it hard for her to concentrate. “There was nowhere else.”

“It’s fine,” she said. And it was. The sensation of the entire bulk of his body holding her in place was heady.

Forget claustrophobia. If this were what she could expect being trapped with him, she would sign up every time.
