Ash
Lyric:
Moving back to my hometown, determined to tell Ash I was in love with him, was always the plan after getting my degree. Meeting Saint was not. He caught me by surprise with flirty banter, a bossy attitude, and the way he cared for his sister.
I wanted them both but wasn't prepared for the challenges that laid ahead.
Ash:
Lying in that alley, desperate for a fix and living as the most broken version of myself I’d ever been, he was my savior.
When the nightmare of my past resurfaced, bringing with it the memories I tried to drown out years ago, I teetered on the edge of being lost forever.
Now I wondered if I cared enough to come back and face reality.
Saint:
Everything I wanted was finally within my grasp—freedom, happiness, and an official place in the club. Everything except Ash. Keeping him in the dark cost us our friendship, which in turn may have cost us the future we’d planned. That future looked brighter when I met her, and she brought us all together in a way I’d only dreamed of.
Then disaster struck, sending Ash on a spiral I never anticipated, and it threatened to ruin everything we’d built. I didn't know if I was strong enough to take it all on this time.
But maybe I didn't have to . . . not on my own anyway.

Ash’s story blew me away. There were so many details missing from his life that we did not understand. Kennedi did an awesome job of peeling back his layers chapter after chapter. The pain and torment that he feels, you also feel as you read this book. The emotion drips off the page and makes you want to keep going until he finds his happy ending. This book is a MMF and perfectly written. Kennedi takes us on a wild ride with Ash, Saint and Lyric. This book deserves more than 5 stars but unfortunately that’s where the cap is. The story will shock you and show you the strong bonds of family no matter what the situation in or where Ash finds himself. I absolutely love the Tattered Souls MC series. This can be read as a stand-alone but would be more enjoyable if you started at the beginning with Dagger. You can’t go wrong with these books! They are a must read!! I promise you won’t be able to put them down.

AMAZING
This book was not what I expected.
Blew me out of the water.
So many feelings--bad and good; happy and sad; love and hate.
Brought back a lot of memories from the past.
The characters are fantastic....Ash had such a mixed-up childhood, Lyric friend from childhood and the love between them never waived; Saint (Leslie) was someone everyone knew would do anything to help Ash do anything and Arrow was not sure what happened to their relationship after he got home from the service.
I could not put this book down until I finished it.
The next book is going to be phenomenal.

Ash met all the wants of this reader, as well as a lot more.
Couldn't put it down because you never knew where you would end up if you stopped before it was done. It covered all the bases of total emotions from the depths of despair to the ecstasy of love. Full of total family love both blood and non blood relation. The main characters were full on emotions and just when you think they can't suffer anymore you get hit with another blow.
So, so good. Just can't express how it affects the reader although just touching.

Once again I am speechless. This author and this series always get me from minute one. I absolutely adore every character and not only do we get a stupendous story with the three main characters but also appearances by some of my other favorites. I could not put down this book. Everything Ash, Saint and Lyric had to go through to find their happily ever after is absolutely enthralling. Don’t miss this amazing story in the series.

Holy guacamole. This book is a spicy MC book that includes second chances and kickass alphas. I love love this series and all the characters. I also love how this series shows a close family of people that arent all blood related. This series is a craving you cant get rid of.

Ash has struggled a lot, when Saint finds him passed out its the start of something more. When Lyric comes back to town she wants to tell her best friend Ash she loves him, not knowing his recent struggles. She first meets Saint and it puts her for a spin but when the 3 get together the chemestry is off the charts!! This story has depth, heartbreak, survival, desires and more a great addition to the series. With MMF and MFM romance.

Have mercy. This book... Man this book was amazing. The struggle Ash faces with mental health and addiction will rip your heart out. Then the three of them together. (Still fanning myself) So smoking hot. Kennedi killed it once again. This whole series has been absolutely amazing. A must read for sure.

I don’t know what to write about this book. WOW! OMG!! This book is so well written. This series just gets better. This book broke me. The pain that Ash has gone through is heartbreaking. Lyric and Saint help him through it but it’s not easy for these three. Warning if you have triggers as there is some. All I can say is if you want to read an amazing story about three people in love then this is a must read. I highly recommend reading. I can’t wait for more in this series.

This book......I really have no words. I couldn't put it down! I have read all the books in this series and each one just get's better. Ash gets you right in the feels. How can you not read this and feel everything that he goes through?! This really shows the true side to mental health and addiction. It's a very well written point of view of someone who struggles on the daily basis with these things. When Saint finds him on the brink of death and brings him back it just warms your heart. You can literally feel the tension between the 2 before they come together. Then there is Lyric, her and Ash have been best friends all their lives but, she doesn't know all the things he has been through. She happens to meet Saint without Ash around and they hit it off on their own. When the 3 come together it is HOT!!! There are some triggers so be warned if you have any. This is a beautiful, soul crushing story. I loved every minute and CANNOT wait for the next in the series!!!

*****5 Ash Stars*****
This series gets better and better with each book. MMF/MFM romances are usually not my favorite but this one was so good. Ash and Saint back story is so heart breaking my emotion’s was up and down through this whole book. This book is on hell of a ride. Lyric had to make a big decision when she was a teenager and till she was older it didn’t really affect her. Lyric is finally home and her she on the hunt to figure out why she can’t get a hold of her best friend Ash and tell him what she has always felt for him. Ash and Saint story picks up where it left off in Arrow’s book. Saint is keeping things from Ash and Ash is not coping well with the whole situation. This all vague because I don’t want to give any of it away because this is a must ready!!

Ash, Saint, and Lyric storyline will take you from laughter to crying to angry to steaming and then bring you back through all those emotions again. Without giving away spoilers I can say, definitely read this book, definitely start the series from book one (why would you want to miss any of these?) and definitely be prepared to have your heart broken and stitched back together again.

Wow!
Hard topics are in this book but so important to be discussed. Mental and emotional turmoil guys deal with along with abuse. So many times guys are portrayed as tough and they can and should handle everything with no effect. They deal with things too. Absolutely great book!!

The third book in the TSMC series is just as good, if not better than, as the first two. Kennedi has hit it out of the park with the latest book. The range of emotions was a rollercoaster ride.
The first scene with Lyric, Ash, and Saint is SO hawt! I was reading it in public and could barely keep from moaning out loud and embarrassing myself. Then, I cried when Ash told Saint and Lyric what happened to him. My heart hurt that he felt everyone would change how they felt about him if they knew. The scene where Saint finally claims Ash in the bedroom? OMFG!! That will be in my private me time bank forever!
Kennedi has become one of my favorite authors and I am so excited to have been reading her books since day 1.

Kenndi Darling has outdid herself once again.
Ash, is a book filled with so much emotion, pain, miscommunication between family members, addiction, emotional and physical abuse, and low self-esteem, but then there is also love, loyalty, acceptance, shoulders to lean on, and accepting help from the ones you love.
Throughout this story we were able to see how much Ash went through at such a young impressionable age and how words taken out of context can shape a relationship into something completely different in ones mind and make such a drastic impact on their life.
Ash only ever wanted to be loved and accepted, but he needs to come to terms with his past in order to move on with his future.
There are many interactions with characters from the previous books.
