I took a chance on the reviews that this book received by others, but if this is KEW's finest, then I dread to see what her other books are like! The story was long and eventful and that is the only reason I didn't cast the book aside in disgust. Cole's character seemed promising in the first part of the book, and Alaina as Al was much better as a character than Alaina, the lady was in the second book. I cringed with the number of times the characters behaved like such drama queens that I nearly put the book down. Some scenes and especially the way the characters spoke just did not seem right. KEW used words like "nattily" etc that reminded me of the jargon used in Georgette Heyer's novels. In fact, the way Cole spoke sometimes, just didn't fit the Civil War scenario, but fit more in a regency setting. This book was too jumbled up for me - definitely won't be keeping this one.

Like so many, this was the 1st romance novel I have ever read, and the only one I can remember the entire plot of and the character's names! I found it in a holiday cottage on the Scilly Isles when I was 12 and took it home with me.....
Simply the best, or at least the most entertaining romance. And I have been in love with Cole a little bit since the 1st reading. My book has fallen to bits, but I don't want to replace it!
Actually, I think that I'll start it again tonight.

I've read the first 100 pages of this book and from the first chapter was adicted. the first book i read was the elusive flame which instantly had me addicted. i read it whilst on holiday and i loved it so much but left it behind when i returned home. at home i search the book shops for it but coudn't remember the authors name. eventually i found it on amazon and proceeded to buy every single one of Woodiwiss' books. i've read nearly all of them so far and Ashes seems to be one of her best ones. the dialogue and story line is so much better than some of her other ones, much more exciting and riveting and i love reading this book. some of her others such as Petals on the River and So Worthy My Love was boring to read at times, and the story was predictable and not real like other books such as Shanna or Ashes, the elusive flame or Wolf and the Dove. the characters in this book however, already are alive and as someone else says they really do sparkle. Well done!
