People make mistakes when they’re young, but how they choose to come back from those mistakes is what matters in the end.
Savannah Morgan found true love at a very early age, but one rash decision — one that she would regret for the rest of her life — was all it took to end her relationship with the love of her life.
For seven years, Jeremy Matthews has accepted being “”just friends”” with the only woman he’s ever loved. Finally deciding that enough is enough, Jeremy relentlessly pursues Savannah until he forces her to see just how right they are for each other.
When Savannah’s past mistake is revealed, threatening the future she so desperately wants, the fate of their relationship lies in Jeremy’s hands. Will he be able to forgive Savannah, or is the relationship truly over?
When struggles and obstacles threaten the foundation of Savannah and Jeremy’s relationship, will they choose to let each other go, or rise from the ashes of the past to claim their happiness?
Rising from the Ashes by Jessica Prince is a romantic tale of how love never dies and through time it never weakens. I loved this book and I absolutely couldn’t put it down. Savannah and Jeremy are so heartfelt and raw as they have been in love with each other since they were fourteen. I loved the aspect of having Jeremy in a relationship at the beginning, I find so many novels were it’s the female in the relationship and then she realises she is completely in love with her long time love, so this was refreshing. Savannah and Jeremy have been separated for seven years and only keeping things brief in the few months Jeremy has had a girlfriend.
I loved how supportive there friends were and how in the second book we still hear about the character’s from the first in the series. Through the journey that they take it isn’t easy. I loved how it was relatable to things people go through when they break up with someone who they have loved. Jealousy, Friends and secrets are all shared within the lines of the novel.
I hadn’t previously heard of Jessica Prince prior to reading Rising from the Ashes but I really enjoyed the read. It was unexpected gem of love and passion that I really enjoyed. I loved how Savannah was courageous and strong but also had a bit of a smart mouth. I loved Jeremy and Savannah’s story. It had its flaws and emotional turmoil throughout the novel but it was a good story with heart, humour and love. I rated it a 5 Lit-Love because it was a great read and hit the heart and soul of a love that is strong despite everything and all the time.
