Our love was born from the embers, and together we would go up in flames.
From The Embers, an all-new standalone catastrophic romance from USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez is available now!
In the aftermath of tragedy, it’s strange the things you remember.
The deafening boom as the house exploded.
The paralyzing fear as I searched for my wife.
The blinding smoke burning my eyes as I carried her out.
But carved into my soul for the rest of my days would be the earth-shattering realization that the woman in my arms wasn’t my wife.
Bree and I were the only survivors—not that either of us were truly living after that night. As a single dad with nowhere else to go, I moved into her guest house. And somehow, through the guilt and grief, we forged an unlikely team.
It took years, but I watched the gradual return of her smile—slow and life-altering.
The two of us could sit outside for hours, talking about nothing, and it filled the massive hole in my chest with new life.
I may have carried her out of that fire, but the truth was, Bree saved me.
As we healed, the secrets and lies of the past smoldered in the ashes, threatening to ignite again.
Our love was born from the embers, and together we would go up in flames.
Be consumed by the fire, today!
Exclusively on Kindle Unlimited.

About Aly Martinez
Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her husband and four young children.
Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and olives. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person.
She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.

Utterly moving story that shall shatter your hearts with a wrecking ball. An emotional volcano explodes in the lives of two couples and the physical debris left behind is the crux of the fabulous story. Aly is adept at making you weep for the broken characters she creates. each is flawed, down on its luck, struggling to cope with insecurities.
“I'm so Mad,”
“Bitter. Terrified. Heartbroken. Lost. Confused.”
Take these two couples - Rob & Bree are best friends and neighbours of Eason & Jessica maxwell. Their kids play together,while adults socialise. Their lives seemingly picture perfect at first glance.
A horrible accident ruins their lives and from its ruination emerges the true personalities of each & every character present.
"I remembered the panic and confusion. The anger and resentment. The absolute frustration that the world kept spinning and it was all I could do to hold on."
Eason instantly became my favorite. A down on his luck, aspiring musician & songwriter, he swallow his pride and ambitions to keep peace with his family. Left with the only thing that matters to him now, he stumbles to his feet and helps Bree who's limping with grief herself.
It's blind leading blind kinda story from then on. They're both devastated, heartbroken, terrified of the future, sad and angry,. Only no one is left to take their anger out at, so it smoulders like Embers in the ash.
"I’d once read in a book that there is no true timeline for grief. It was always one step forward, two weeks wallowing and cussing the universe back. But, with time, the good days had begun to out weigh the bad."
I felt lost and bitter for them. As they take hurting steps towards some kind of normalcy, Aly pours salt on their wounds and the howl that left Bree and Eason tears up the sky.
It's painful, but hope is just on the horizon. It's tragic, but smiles filter through the darkness in Ashley, Madison and Lunas faces. It seems all is lost in ashes, but Phoenix rises and how!.
Poignant to the point of acute pain, a story about love lost with no closure, be prepared to cry in frustration all through.
4.5 stars for Red M&Ms
