Reviews (Excerpts)
- "I don't give many books 5 stars. This one caught my interest and held it throughout. I was several chapters into it and I still didn't know what it was going to be about or where it was going. I just knew the story had me and I didn't want to quit. The author stuck to the story without out getting "side-tracked." Basic story set in college with a brother and sister at the same school. Her roommate ends up being her brothers girlfriend and they both end up regretting it. She calculating, manipulating, and pure trouble." - Kate Moore
- "This truly was a haunting tale of friendship and loyalty and all of the things that can go wrong in between. I loved the relationship between Katherine and Ben! Reading about a brother and sister being so incredibly close was refreshing and sweet. Their relationship was strong until Katherine's roommate in college, Emma, entered the picture. Ashley did a phenomenal job of creating the character of Emma. She was sweet, obsessive, scary, and revengeful all wrapped up in a pretty package. I went in thinking this would be another college love story, but I couldn't have been more wrong.[...]" - Angela McLaurin
- "Very good book!!! It is now 4:30a.m. as I finish this book which should give you a clue as to just how good it is!! I kept trying to finish it tomorrow but the plot is twisty and just plain hard to put down." - M. Long
- "Well written and moves along at a good pace, keeping my interest. Great picture of the life of a family when a brother and sister go off to college together and the challenges they experience both separately and together. Also illustrates how a family copes with tragedy and how it affects them.
I have never read anything by this author, but would definitely read another of her novels. You won't be disappointed with this book!" - Cheryl F. Davis

After her brother died in 1999 of an accidental overdose, she turned to writing as a way of releasing her pent-up emotions. She wrote SAVING BEN in honor of Neal, the boy she worshipped, the man she could not save. SAVING BEN is not a memoir, but a story about the special bond between siblings.
When she's not writing on her next novel, Her Sister's Shoes, scheduled for release in July of 2015, she can be found book blogging at www.chroniclesofavidreaders.com.
