Ember by Emma Renshaw

Thanks to the publisher for an ARC to read and give my honest opinion. This was a scorching read and aptly named. Best friends going to baseball draft or college together end up separated during a freak accident involving a bonfire....one dead and one badly burned. Gunner lives on to join major league and finally after ten years goes home again to assist his ailing mother. While there he experiences love, and other things that in a sequence of events.

What did I like? This is a beautiful story that could be anyone’s story given the luck or happenstance. Delilah and Gunner make a beautiful couple together as the events unfold and rip them apart. Family is like a glue and this one has a great story.

Would I buy or recommend? Yes, I highly recommend this. It’s a tragedy upon tragedy but it only makes everything stronger. A beautiful story of doing what life gives you whether it be lemons or lemonade.

Thoughts for the author? Congratulations on your new release! Fantastic story, and poignant!
