JACOB’S LADDER: ELI, the second sexy and emotional standalone in the Jacob’s Ladder series from New York Times bestselling author Katie Ashley, is NOW LIVE!
Synopsis
One wouldn’t expect a sexy-as-sin rocker like Eli Renard to spend time with a woman just as a friend, but that’s exactly what Emersyn Wallace is to him. Just a friend. Even though she’s matured into a beauty, Eli still doesn’t remotely see his childhood pal as a sex-object. When tragedy brings her back into his world, Eli moves mountains to help Emersyn get back onto her feet by finding her a job as a backup singer for Jacob’s Ladder. At first, Eli is thrilled that Emerysn is along on tour, and he sets out to do his best to help her forget her sorrow through a range of crazy friend dates. But after spending so much time with her in such close quarters, Eli finds his feelings beginning to shift. He no longer sees Emersyn as the once awkward young girl he played some of his first songs with. Soon it’s not only his body that reacts to her, but it’s also his heart. He’s about to learn what a dangerous game it is to dry a widow’s tears.
After losing her husband and singing partner in a tragic accident, Emersyn Wallace spent the last eight months drowning in a sea of grief. With the bills piling up and her family and friends concerned about her emotional welfare, she reluctantly agrees to join the Jacob’s Ladder’s tour. While recapturing her lost love of singing and performing, she finds both comfort and healing in Eli’s gregarious personality and outrageous sense of humor. But as the anniversary of her husband’s death approaches, she finds herself in turmoil over her new amorous feelings for Eli.
Can Eli and Emersyn find the perfect melody to transition from friends to lovers, or will their relationship end out of tune?

Review
NO SPOILERS!
Jacob’s Ladder: Eli was absolutely amazing and more perfect that I ever could have imagined! It was a sweet, sexy, emotional, and utterly romantic standalone contemporary romance, and I loved it with all of my heart! The storyline and characters were phenomenal, and I loved Katie Ashley’s writing style. I have read many romances from this author over the years, and Jacob’s Ladder: Eli was definitely one of my top favorites, if not THE top favorite. I hope all of you love Eli and Emersyn’s story as much as I did!
Eli and Emersyn were amazing and I adored them and their story so much. I loved their personalities, red-hot chemistry, and deep friendship/connection they had together. I loved how their relationship progressed throughout, and even though there were a few rocky moments here and there, I truly loved reading every single word of this story. I loved reading the book from both Eli and Emersyn’s POV, and all of their banter and interactions with each other. I absolutely love the friends-to-lovers trope, and Jacob’s Ladder: Eli didn’t disappoint whatsoever. It completely exceeded my expectations, and I was truly ecstatic with the conclusion to Eli and Emersyn’s story. It honestly made me so happy and was more perfect than I could have dreamed possible. The secondary characters were amazing as well, and I loved seeing several familiar faces from previous books.
Jacob’s Ladder: Eli was a sweet, sexy, emotional, and swoon-worthy standalone contemporary romance, and I absolutely loved it! Katie Ashley did an excellent job with this book, and I was more than happy with the outcome to Eli and Emersyn’s story. I loved and adored Jacob’s Ladder: Eli with all of my heart and soul, and would highly recommend it and the entire Runaway Train and Jacob’s Ladder series! I love Katie Ashley’s books so much, and can’t wait to read more!
