TITLE: Before I die
AUTHOR: Nikki Ash
GENRE: Romance
PUBLICATION: July 9th, 2020
— BLURB —
From Nikki Ash comes a new, contemporary, stand-alone, romance about not only finding love but finding yourself.
Things I want to do before I die:
Go to a club
Get drunk
Kiss a stranger
Go on a mission trip
I’m drowning. Trapped beneath my mother’s expectations. Suffocated by my religious upbringing.
My life has been full of well-crafted decisions—none of them made by me.
On the outside I play by the rules, but on the inside... I have dreams. A list. A tattered scrap of paper tucked away from the world, only I know about.
Some items were easy to check off. Others, though, will require me to take a huge leap out of my comfort zone.
One night changes everything. While at the club for my birthday, so I could check off another item on my list, I did something I never imagined I would have the guts to do: I got drunk and kissed a stranger.
What I wasn't prepared for was how that one kiss would change the course of my life, making me realize life is more than a list to be checked off. It’s about living in the moment so you don’t miss the ones not on the list—the ones you didn’t even know you wanted.

— MY REVIEW —
BEFORE I DIE:
Is a full length contemporary romance novel by new to me author 'Nikki Ash.' Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.'
Before I die was phenomenal!…full of suspense, heartache, and forgiveness. This book pulled me in so effortlessly, I couldn't, didn't want to put it down, inhaled, devoured, completely and utterly fell under this authors spell!! Seconds, minutes, hours was spent loving every single thing I was reading..
So many unexpected moments, first off I didn’t expect the religious aspect to be so ingrained in this book, but it just suited our heroine and the storyline perfectly. I also didn’t expect the little twists and turns the author threw my way, but god did I love them, it just upped this book to becoming extra special! I absolutely adored this book and loved how unique this was, this zapped me in the feels straight away, I was all in, head, heart and soul, such a beautiful emotional story.

Ethan our Hero, god how I loved this man!! He had the look which could grace a GQ magazine, handsome beyond words, edgy, dangerous, a successful business man. He's sculpted, beautifully rugged, dark and dangerously handsome. But delve deeper than what's on the surface and this man is hiding a world of hurt deep down where the darkness now graces his heart.
This woman is off limits, and even if she wasn't, she isn't my type. She's the forever type of girl, the one you marry and have a dozen babies with, and I'm nothing more than a for now type of guy.
