Synopsis
This town knows who runs the streets.
With the cops on the payroll and my family literally getting away with murder, it’s obvious.
My parents built a goddamn empire.
I run the local college and the racetrack with my siblings.
No one crosses us, they wouldn’t dare.
Everyone knows I don’t hesitate when it comes to my blade.
Problem is, things are about to crumble at my feet.
What do you do when your best friend is the one to cross you?
Especially when it’s your adopted brother.
In this life of fast cars and power, family means everything to me.
He ripped my heart out with his fist, and I’ll destroy him just as much as he destroyed me.
Maddox is about to learn just how dangerous I really am.
I can’t let him weaken me, I already have Jett knocking my walls down a little at a time.
My dads would kill me if they knew what was about to happen under their roof.
I know it seems wrong but if I can’t have Maddox, no one can.
I’ll kill any other girl who tries.
My name’s Beckett Donovan, and I take after my mother.
I never really did play by the rules.

My Review
'🅺🅸🅽🅶 🅾🅵 🅲🅰🆁🅽🅰🅶🅴'
Is the first full length reverse harem
book in author R.E. Bond's 'from the Ashes' series. Spoken in 'third
person perspectives.'
This is Beckett's, Maddox's and Jett’s story and let me tell you it's one you don't want to miss, I freaking loved the dynamics of this trio, at first I was worried it was going to be a love triangle and my heart at that stage was Jett's but how this all played out was perfection, it just worked and made me fall so in love with these characters I just wanted to stay in their story longer.
Just a heads up concerning our heroine, Beckett, you've not met anyone quite like her, she's as tough as nails and has brought many men to their knees with her trusty knife and she's not afraid to use it, if anyone crosses her or her family watch out she's on your tail.
One look at the cover, 🔥 🔥 🔥 another look at the blurb and I knew I wanted to read this, once it arrived on my kindle, I started it that day and didn't finish it until the wee hours of the morning.
I'm guessing these characters have appeared in previous books by this author because we're only given glimpses of their back stories in this so it doesn't really delve too much into them. It was a wee bit confusing with all the characters, gangs etc but it wasn't too hard to keep track of them all once I progressed further into the book and caught up on how they are all tied together.
This ticked so many boxes, from the rival gangs, to the slightly dark elements, to their slightly forbidden relationship, then throw in how they decided to make things work for them just made all those feels rush at me. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.
This doesn't end on a cliffy so I'm kind of unsure what's to come next though there are a few loose ends in this which I'm guessing get resolved in the next book and I for one will be along for the ride. This is only the second book I've read by this author but I'm quickly becoming a fan of her writing.
