Managing Mischief (Shattered Embrace Series) by Alyndra Quinn – Review by Ayla Phipps

Managing Mischief by Alyndra Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heart stopping from A to Z. From page one the dedication the incredible Alyndra Quinn informs the writer that Zachary and Ashton get there happily ever after. Only she keeps out the gut wrenching struggles it takes them to reach it. Once again, the dual perspective of Zachary and Ashton takes you on an emotional journey. While this could be read as a standalone honest book one gives the foundation that this power couple was built on and the beginning of their journey into uncharted territory together. Picks up at the end of book one.
Ashton never anticipated shopping with Zachary and in an erotic wonderland she finally enjoys shopping for once. Zachary, while unsure at first about the actual relationship aspect, enjoys it more than he ever thought. She fills the part of his life he never realized was missing until she fell in his lap and filled them for him. He gives her more than she ever anticipated and flourishes under his watchful care. Until, a short three months later one miscommunication, and he falls into the clutches of heartbreak thinking it’s all been fake, built on lies for the benefit of his main rival. Ashton on the other hand is heartbroken at not knowing how to get him to listen to her, to let her explain and prove that it was all real. As quickly as everything began it starts to crumple the fires and longing, keeping them, both connected while their heads battle with their hearts.
How do they reach their happy ending? Can Ashton have it all, the man, and the career? What will happen when Zachary’s rival uses what’s his as a pawn? Everything about this couple draws you in, their deep emotional longing, their acceptance and understanding and more importantly their need to be a whole person and only finding that in each other. You can’t help but drop to your knees and plead that they find their way out the other side together and stronger than ever. I cannot wait for Praise: Mastering Mischief, currently December 2024 release, to see what will happen next for Ashton and Zachary. In the meantime, I have my countdown started for book three in this incredible new series Discovering Desire, April 30th, 2024, and learn more about Derek’s story.
