Cover Reveal: Don't Kiss the Bride by Carian Cole

 

Carian Cole has revealed the
title, cover, and blurb
for her
  upcoming release,

Don’t Kiss the Bride!


 

Coming Soon!

We had one rule.
Breaking it sealed our fate forever.

My dream was simple. Graduate this spring, save up enough money to escape the house of horrors I was living in, and see the world in a cool RV with my cat, Gus. No strings.

Then I passed out and face-planted in front of sexy, brooding Jude “Lucky” Lucketti, and he rushed me to the ER. It wasn’t one of my finest moments. But it was one of his. I guess you could say I was a damsel in distress, and Jude was my knight in shining armor. He became my own personal hero, turning up in all the right places at the right times.
 
But in reality, I was a girl with a serious eating disorder and a lot of bad luck, and he was a hot, older construction worker with lots of muscles and tattoos.
 

Under his rough exterior, he was a good guy. We became friends, and it didn’t matter that he was sixteen years older than me. We had a lot in common—like our love of rock music and vintage cars, and a mutual anti-marriage stance after coming from broken homes.

So when he proposed, it wasn’t like you think. He figured if he married me and put me on his insurance plan, I could get the medical treatment I needed and couldn’t afford. He even told me I could move into the extra bedroom at his house.

I said yes.

The arrangement would be temporary. A marriage on paper and nothing else. Within a year, we’d divorce.

It should have been easy, but it wasn’t.

Because here I am, eighteen years-old, still in high school, and married to a man I was never supposed to fall in love with.

I did, though.

We had just one rule—no kissing the bride.

Little did we know, breaking that rule on our wedding day would seal our fate forever.

Release Boost: Asher (Ashes & Embers #6) by Carian Cole




Title: Asher
Series: Ashes & Embers #6
Author: Carian Cole
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 3, 2020



Blurb

I should have died.

I should have been forgotten.

But I didn’t, and I wasn’t.

Living the life most women only dream about, I was madly in love with my soulmate—Asher Valentine—amazing husband, loving father, and rock’s favorite kick-ass front man. A man who loved me every day, in every way, since we first met as teens. We were blessed with a beautiful daughter who was the light of our life. My all-female rock band was tearing up the charts.

Then tragedy struck, and I lost it all.

Now all I have is a stack of journals, an antique key, and a big black void where my memories should be.

Used to be.

And I have him—this man with wild hair, tattoos from head to toe, a soft voice, and an even softer touch that gives me butterflies. He’s clearly hopelessly in love with his wife.

I’m told that’s me.

But that wife is gone, and she took everything they once had, leaving me in her place.

A broken replacement. A new version that doesn’t quite fit.

I’m slowly falling in love with him, but will he ever truly love me? Or will he forever be in love with her, the phantom woman who haunts us both?

What I thought about Asher

I'm always fascinated by stories of true love and fated mates and I've been waiting for this book for some time now.  Asher has been a compelling character throughout this series, and his situation finally getting resolved was very much the draw to this book.

The love of Asher life happens to be in a coma where she's been trapped for years.  Put there at the height of her career, Ember's recovery was a long shot. When she does awaken, she has no recollection of the life she led before. For Asher, Ember awakening is evidence of what he knew would almost happen, except for the fact she doesn't remember what they had together.  He'll just have to demonstrate his devotion to her. It's not an easy position for Ember to be in either.

I really did like Asher's commitment and devotion to his wife during her coma and afterward.  It wasn't an easy resolution between them.  He had to work for her, and she had to accept him a second time.  There's also a daughter involved.

This is a second chance love story that shows how enduring love can be, especially in the face of major challenges. Asher isn't afraid to do the work to show Ember just how much he loved her then, and still loves her now which made for a very heart-warming HEA. I think I would have liked it more without Ember's surprise there toward the end which just seemed ridiculous to me.

Asher is a standalone novel in the Ashes & Embers world, but I would recommend reading the series so you have some idea of the dynamics in this world as they are a bit on the unique side.  Asher is a satisfying addition to the series.

An ARC was provided. This is my honest review.

Evie

I met him in a snow storm...

We spent forty-eight hours trapped in the back of his pickup truck.
We fought.
We touched.
We fell.
Hard.

Storm

She literally crashed into my life...

The last thing I wanted was a relationship. Especially with a quirky chick who drove me insane. But something about her got under my skin, and into my heart.
And I had to have her.
All of her.
Now.

Falling in love in the back of a truck, just the two of us, was easy.


Dealing with psycho fans, jealous exes, and demons from the past....not so easy. 

*While Loving Storm can be enjoyed as a STANDALONE, it is best read after reading Storm
