Ashes of Sin and Stardust (AnchorX) by Lindsay Murray – Review by Kerry Carr

Ashes of Sin and Stardust by Lindsay Murray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really dark BDSM romance. There are trigger warnings with this book that the author makes the reader aware of right at the beginning so it may be a trigger for some people.
The authors writing is really good. The way the author talks about mental health, ways people deal with it and the thoughts and feelings people suffer through was really eye opening but was dealt with in a way that was respectful and informative.

This story is a romance around the BDSM lifestyle but it is so much more than that. The characters of Reuben and Alice are both damaged in their own way and their back stories are really heartbreaking. But it makes their connection even more powerful and beautiful. It was also different to read a romance from the perspective of people in the BDSM lifestyle and to realise that even though for some people it is just a kink for others it’s way to manage stress and anxiety in their lives.

This story is very emotional, your heart will break hearing Alice’s story and you will laugh at how sassy she is and how much she tests Reuben’s boundaries.
Can a Brat be trained? Or will Reuben find a way to make Alice submit to him willingly?
