Ambrosia

After coming to terms with the tragedy that rocked her world, Scarlett MacGregor has returned to try to pick up the pieces of the broken relationships that she left behind.

Ash and Mason were left devastated and heartbroken following Scarlett’s sudden, unannounced departure. They are both ready and willing to forgive her and welcome her back into their lives with open arms. However, a lot can happen in 8 months… 

Scarlett must learn to overcome the obstacles thrown in her path to prevent the past from repeating itself. Can she learn to fly with her own wings and discover the secret to eternal love?

I liked all the characters in this book,  I think they all function very well together.  Scarlett and Mason love each other but in very different ways.  They are still selfish and unwilling to confide to all there feelings to one another, for fear of loosing the other.  It seems they have a co dependency on with one another that they each choose to ignore, Mason with his drugs and Scarlett with using him to keep her safe from Ash.  Scarlett admits that she still loves Ash but she loves Mason and chooses to be with Mason.

They make there relationship work despite the past both wanting to be together.

The mistakes that Scarlett makes when she returns are countless but here are a few...

Honesty.....Really now???  Try talking to Mason, tell him how you feel about Evie, Ash and what make you scared.  How you feel about him and wanting to be with him.

When Mason leaves to go to Austin with his Band you want to go with him but you don't say anything?  Can't you see how much that man loves you?  NO you can't!

Do you trust Mason?  No!  Why?  I'm not even sure about that one.  He really has not given you much reason not to.  He tells you he loves you ALL THE TIME, he took your ass back after you crushed him 8 months ago.  He knows that you still love Ash and you have the nerve to question him!!!

After he situated himself next to me and handed me one of the bottles, I opened my mouth to say something, but my mind drew a blank. I didn’t know how to even start the conversation we so desperately needed to have. We were both looking forward, staring at the blank television screen.
“Do you love him?” Mason asked expressionless, never turning his head.
“Yes.” I admitted.
“Does he want you back?”
“He never had me.”
He snorted and took a long pull from his beer.
“What? What was that for?” I asked.
“He’s always had you, Scarlett. I just had you on loan.”

Ok here is my Spoiler so STOP reading if you have not read the book yet!  STOP right now I am warning you!!!

I get that Scarlett is rebuilding her life (not really) but enough is enough. Scarlett and Mason have bumps in the road while he is away and this is where the shit starts to pisses me off even more.  If you think that something has happened in your relationship that could end it, FIND OUT ALL OF THE FACTS FIRST BEFORE you get drunk and do what you did.

Max?  REALLY!!!!!  UGH!!!!!!!!

Watch your actions closely, what you do has a domino effect on EVERYONE!!!!

Then Scarlett jumps into a relationship with Ash.....COME on.  FINALLY!  It took this long to get here. I love then together.  I really do but at the same time I feel that there is so much that has been left out that could have been added into this book.  I feel cheated that we got more of Scarlett and Mason and not enough of Scarlett and Ash.  There love is undeniable I just want to more read about.  Then just when I think they are going to be together the ending happens........

Don't get me wrong I give this book Four out of Five stars.  I still Loved it.  I hate waiting for the third book but not really.  I love all the characters they truly are a great group of friends that care about one another.  This is just me.....Bitching.
