Seldom have I read a book I enjoyed more; that this is Ms. Ashbury's first book is amazing. I highly recommend this book to all who are interested in a beautiful love story which has a light comedic appeal!"—Brenda Talley, The Romance Studio
A Joyfully Recommended Read: “Made for Each Other was an absolutely delicious read from beginning to end. The characters were well drawn and pulled me right into their world. I loved the combination of a woman construction worker and a male university librarian falling for each other. It was something new and refreshing. Morgan did a wonderful job with this one. And watch out for those steamy sex scenes! I had to keep the fan on and a glass of water nearby and really recommend it."—Tera, Joyfully Reviewed
4 Cups: “Made for Each Other is a powerhouse read. It was fun watching the mismatch duo tackle their feelings for the other. I love it when two people suddenly interact instantly, and their chemistry burns the pages. Charlie and Lesley are dynamite individuals with great personalities. Ms. Ashbury details a story that captivates and wins the heart of this reader. The way she instilled the desire for commitment into the storyline made the story even more enjoyable as the reader feels a part of the couple's relationship. This romantic story is an absolute delight."—Cherokee, Coffee Time Romance
4 Hearts: “Made for Each Other is light hearted, comical and sensual. This book reverses the stereotypical roles of men and women, Charlie is a female contractor who refused to go to college because she loved working with wood while Lesley is a man with two PhDs who works as a librarian and has no desire to work with hand tools. It is fun to watch Charlie and Lesley take turns in their insecurities with their fledgling relationship, and then take turns in deciding how scary being in love can really be. After listening in on the exchanges between Charlie and Lesley and their respective friends Megan and Percy, this reviewer could definitely see Ms. Ashbury following up with the tale of Megan and Percy."—Mandie, Love Romances and More
"What do a builder and a librarian have in common? Seemingly nothing, but Charlene McKinley and Lesley Farmer can't help but find each other simply irresistible in Morgan Asbury's Made For Each Other.

But it's Charlie and Lesley's passionate relationship with all of its ups and downs that is captivating. Ashbury is fabulous at telling a romantic, spicy story with easy-to-love characters. Look for more from this talented debut writer in the future."—Amy Mendenhall, NewsandSentinel.com

REVIEWS for Beau and the Lady Beast [Siren Adult Fairy Tale]
4.5 Blue Ribbons: “Morgan Ashbury brings a fascinating spin to a much beloved fairy tale with her story Beau and the Lady Beast. I was quickly drawn into the storyline and eagerly read each tension filled scene waiting for the moment when Beau wins over Isadora's affections. There's no doubt that he will win—he's so dominating and determined yet loving that I even fell in love with him. The hints we get of Isadora's vulnerability throughout the storyline make her a genuinely lovable character. She's simply protected herself from being hurt emotionally by burying herself in her company and avoiding romance. While I knew this was a BDSM fairy tale when I picked it up, I wasn't prepared for how lovingly Beau uses his ‘Mastery Skills’ to get Isadora to trust him and found his methods extremely touching."—Chrissy Dionne, Romance Junkies
4 Stars/Hot: “Beau and the Lady Beast is a fascinating, erotic and romantic tale about trust, obedience and love. Isadora has built a tough exterior so as to not get hurt again. She is an intelligent woman who has cut herself off from people, yet instead of deterring Beau, he is captivated by what is hidden behind her prickly façade. This proposition allows Beau to carefully plan a slow seduction of Isadora's body and heart even though she is uncomfortable being ten years his senior. The connection they feel is quite passionate and never humiliating. The use of BDSM allows Beau to slowly teach Isadora to trust him and more importantly herself. The sex scenes, although later in the story, were quite seductive and well worth the wait. The anticipation of their union was orchestrated so well that toys should be at close hand. The main focus of the story is the building relationship between Isadora and Beau with minor secondary characters that help to initiate the proposal. I found that even though Beau likes to be in control, he gives up his control for Isadora by cherishing and making her feel special. Beau is definitely a hero that I fell in love with at the very beginning. Not only did Beau have the perfect lure for Isadora, he saw beyond her beastly reputation to her inner beauty. I found this tale an entertaining entry to the BDSM genre. I look forward to reading future stories from Ms. Ashbury."—Tallyn Porter, Just Erotic Romance Reviews
4 Cups: “Ms. Ashbury has written a wonderful adult fairy tale. The storyline is smooth and believable. The characters worked well together and make a wonderful couple. Trust is an issue and Beau and Isadora have that and offer much more. Beau and the Lady Beast is as entertaining as it is sexy."—Matilda, Coffee Time Romance
4 Stars: “In Beau and the Lady Beast by Morgan Ashbury, Beau and Isadora are in love with each other but they don't know it. This erotic fairy tale is a delight to read and a well written story with plenty of scorching sex scenes."—Racine, Ecataromance
"As a child, I was never a big fan of the beauty and the beast fairytale—I thought the dad was a weak toad—but I digress. There are no toad-like characters in Beau and the Lady Beast. In fact, Beau is a stone-cold fox. It is obvious that Beau has deep feelings for Isadora but since he is playing for keeps, he has to prove to her that she can count on him to keep her safe and that her strength and assertiveness do not turn him off. Beau and the Lady Beast is likely to become one of your favorite bedtime stories."—Sharon, Joyfully Reviewed
