This book series is arguably one of my top series of all time so imagine my surprise when I realized that despite all the people I have pressured to read this book I haven't written a formal review for it yet. 

Maybe that's because I don't have a way with words, maybe that's because it's impossible to explain how good I think this series is. Whatever the case it's time for me to finally try. 

Poppy has been living a life of solitude thrust onto her the day she was born. A maiden must not be social. A maiden must not show her face. A maiden is duty bound, the fate of the kingdom rests on her shoulders alone. When Hawke a golden eyed ambitious guard waltzed into her life and showed her what temptation really is poppy's life is flipped upside down. Will she be found unworthy or is everything we know a lie? 

If you like bad boys with a soft spot for the girl this book is for you. Don't ask questions just read it. 

If you life strong PLUS SIZE female characters who aren't afraid to stab you this book is for you. Seriously 

From Blood and Ash is filled with steamy swoon worthy forbidden romance, witty banter, strong story building and so much more. 

Thank you JLA for writing a plus size character who is desired by her partner, who is both curvy and strong, that women like me can see themselves in
