This was my first Avril Ashton novel, but I'm preeeetty sure it won't be my last.
Because "What You Need" was absolutely fantastic. Complex and bittersweet, romantic and steamy, with a truckload of exquisite hurt/comfort and all the angst my angst-loving heart desires.

Jack and Ashe were absolutely wonderful protagonists, and I ADORED seeing their relationship flourish: it's sweet and wonderful and respectful and loving and just, perfect. And I loved them individually too, so damn much.

I know I started Avril Ashton's backlog a bit backwards (this book works as a standalone, but it's interconnected to a lot of books and series), but I'm glad I stared here, with this novel. I really needed to read something like this. That being said; this one easily works as a standalone, and I wasn't lost at all, especially considering that much of this novel is centred on Ashe and Jack's romance, with very little action and a minimal subplot, but I'm still very intrigued by all the side characters and their stories. I think I'll have to start from the beginning now: I'm just dying to know more about them all.
