"No Other Author's Stories Will Burrow into Your Heart Like Kristen Ashley's Can."

Fresh Fiction Review

The Will
Kristen Ashley

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan

Women's Fiction

Josephine Malone has recently lost her grandmother, Lydia. In Lydia's will lies something that Josie would never have expected. Along with some valuable objects, there is one thing that confuses her as she knows nothing about the man involved in Lydia's life until now.

Retired boxer and now strip club owner, Jake Spear is exactly the kind of man that Lydia wanted to have watching over Josie. As a last wish, Lydia asks Jake to take care of Josie and watch over her. Of course, Josie is completely against this idea. For one, she hadn't known Jake even existed in her grandmother's life, and why would she allow anyone into her life who could potentially hurt her again? Secondly, Josie is a classy, self-efficient woman and doesn't need anyone to watch out for her. However, Jake Spear is a loyal alpha, as all of Kristen Ashley's heroes are, and he will stand by his word to protect Josie, no matter the costs.

Kristen Ashley's first foray into the Magdalene series is beautifully heartwarming and exhilarating. Brimming with sexual tension and passion, THE WILL is the kind of book that will sweep you off your feet and have you thinking about it for days after.

The romance between Jake and Josie is possibly one of the best Ashley has written. Ashley takes her time with this one, showing the ins and outs of a blooming relationship. Since grief is such a heavy burden on both Jake and Josie in the beginning of the book, the romance really needed some time to develop for it to be believable. Through the course of this story, I found Jake and Josie's love to be healing, mending that broken soul and repairing it with a greater love. It's utterly breathtaking.

THE WILL is an enticing blend of Ashley's old and new style, which I find to be completely addicting. No other author's stories will burrow into your heart like Kristen Ashley's can.

SUMMARY

Early in her life, Josephine Malone learned the hard way that there was only one person she could love and trust: her grandmother, Lydia Malone. Out of necessity, unconsciously and very successfully, Josephine donned a disguise to keep all others at bay. She led a globetrotting lifestyle on the fringes of the fashion and music elite, but she kept herself distant.

While Josephine was trotting the globe, retired boxer Jake Spear was living in the same small town as Lydia. There was nothing disguised about Jake. Including the fact he made a habit of making very bad decisions about who to give his love.

But for Josephine and Jake, there was one person who adored them. One person who knew how to lead them to happiness. And one person who was intent on doing it.

Even if she had to do it as her final wish on this earth.
