From Ashes (Phoenix: LexTal Chronicles Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 29 ratings

Gabby has a secret that might get her kicked out of the only true home she’s ever known.

Her powers, her magic that every one of her people are born with isn’t right.

It’s broken and wrong and . . . Mason knows.

The gorgeous widowed warrior makes her heart pound and her legs weak, but his wounded past keeps him from getting close to anyone.

Except, Gabby.

He can’t resist getting close Gabby, no matter how much his mind and heart protest.

But the secret she’s hiding about her powers is big and dangerous and threatens to tear them apart before they’ve even begun.

Elise changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, loves sparkly things, and is the mom to two exuberant boys.

    Another great Rengalla story, Elise Faber has such a way with words. I wish I could disappear into their world. Even with all the problems with the Forgotten, the Dalshie, and normal problems couples face it still draws me in. In this story we meet Gabby as she deals with her past and who she is and what she can d because of it. We also see Mason (Mr. Hottie Lex-Tal) which we met in Phoenix Rising. These two were made for each other, but as most couples they bungled through their relationship. Her fighting her past, just as much as he was fighting his. If they can get past their own hang ups, they will have a bond and connection that will surpass their wildest dreams. This is a wild ride, as we see Gabby and Mason, fight themselves, each other, their feelings and the Dalshie. Will it work out or will they be to stubborn to lean on each other. My heart broke for both their pasts as they struggle to heal and deal with what was.

    From Ashes is a fantastic paranormal read. If you love the world of magical powers then you will love this one. Before I get started I just want to say if you want to know a little more background about who the LexTal are then pick up the Phoenix series (this is a spinoff of that but can be read without it). I love watching Mason and Gabby dance around each other. Your heart will ache for Mason and what he goes through. Gabby you get why she keeps things to herself. I love watching Gabby slowly trust Mason more and more as their bond grows. This one will pull at your heart and is so worth it. I really loved this one and I can't wait for more of this series to come.

    This book was very intriguing and I really liked it. Offering an enticing blend of emotion, suspense, drama, tension, humor, intensity and desire that is all served up with a PNR flair, this book had me pretty much hooked from the start. Gabby and Mason were complex and compelling characters. Their painful pasts and emotional baggage weigh heavily on these two and their growing relationship. My heart hurt for them. I thought there was a certain sweetness to the unwanted and fiercely resisted feelings that blossom between this pair, so you can fully expect your heart strings to be tugged on. I'm posting unbiased review of my own accord.

    The story was good. The editing was horrible. The ending was a cliff hanger going straight into the beginning of Flames. Hopefully the story continues in Flames. We will see.

    First this is not my normal genre I choose to read but because I adore this author I wanted to try it. I’m glad I did. It’s a fantastic love story of two broken individuals. Both with a past that they can’t seem to get over. Gabby is so much more inexperienced than Mason but he has the patience of a saint with her. Though it’s set it a different world it all Comes down to the same basic things love, understanding, forgiveness, Hope, it is an awesome book.

    A very interesting and intriguing story. A slow burn love story with a lot of secrets, hurt, loss and love. Mason is a widower who can't seem to get Gabby off of his mind. Gabby has a secret that could tear everything away from her. She has been attracted to mason from the beginning, but had tried to keep her distance. She is struggling with her powers and can't seem to be able to control her emotions/powers. The side characters wetter great and helped moved the story along. A good book.
    I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.

    From Ashes is a fantastic paranormal romance! It is full of magic, secrets, hurt, heartbreak, loss and love. Gabby and Mason’s story is very enjoyable. I loved watching them both dance around each other. It made for a fantastic story! They both have baggage they will have to deal with in order to make their relationship work. I absolutely loved From Ashes and l can’t wait for the next book!

    This was he first book of Elise Faber’s that I’ve read in this genre, I’ve read books in her Gold Hockey series. The premise in the book’s blurb intrigued me enough to request an ARC from the author through an ARC program I participated in.

    Both main characters have suffered in their pasts, his is openly known - his wife and young son were killed by Dalshie (dark magic users) over 100+ years ago. Gabby’s past is a huge secret, even from the reader for several chapters. This secret controls how she lives life.

    Once everything is out in the open and Gabby and Mason have a serious connection that they slowly build upon. Their emotional and physical connection is developed, growing quickly but deeply. Their journey includes some obstacles, mostly internal and emotional ones that take time to overcome.

    I found the author’s world building to be enough to give you an understanding, yet not drown the reader in descriptive details! The secondary characters are interesting and help the two main characters develop and become their true selves.

    I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review. This was a very enjoyable read.
