The calm before the storm…

I lived in the quiet stillness.
I felt the wind rustle, warning me, telling me to get out of its path.

But I didn’t.
I never stood a chance.

A series of weather and road mishaps leaves me trapped in the middle of a blizzard with a complete stranger. In the back of a pickup truck. For forty-eight freakin’ hours.

A stranger with long hair, tattoos, and rippling with muscle.

A stranger with an insanely sexy voice and a wicked smile that turned my insides to jelly.

A stranger who held me in his arms, calmed me, and then set a fire in me that I couldn’t put out.

Storm lives up to his name. Beautiful. Dangerously inviting. Tumultuous. Dark. A clash of hot and cold.

He’s used to getting everything he wants.

And now he wants me.

Some people chase storms for the beautiful thrill. What happens when the storm chases you?

~ My Thoughts ~

What I really loved about this story isn’t really about the story at all, it’s about the author Carian Cole. Having read one of her newer releases just about a week or so ago and still feeling the effects of the story I decided to backtrack and read her earlier work. From Ashes & Embers to her newer releases, I loved seeing first hand how much this author has grown and perfected her art form. It was a delightful and interesting surprise. An experience I’m not sure would have been as prevalent, if I had discovered her upon her first release.

Now let’s move onto to Storm …..

Once again the author creates larger than life characters that dance off of the pages into your mind. With both their physical and emotional aspects written to perfection creating the perfect picture in your mind is effortless.

The story line is unique, fun, flirty and interesting and you are transported into the truck, the cabin, the office, the apartment and to every other place that the story includes.

Emotions run rampant and you feel the sorrow, confusion, lust, pain and happiness.

 

 

A fun, fast paced loving story of two people who crash into each other and realize that sometimes letting go of your safety net and moving forward is the best move you can make.

 

 

~Introducing Carian Cole~

 

I have a passion for the bad boys, those covered in tattoos, sexy smirks, ripped jeans, fast cars, motorcycles and of course, the sweet girls that try to tame them and win their hearts. My debut series, Ashes & Embers, follows the lives of rock band members as they find, and sometimes lose, the loves of their lives.

My first novel in the Ashes & Embers series, Storm, was published in September of 2014, and I have lots of books planned for this series. Devils Wolves is a spin off series, but all can be read standalone, and out of order.

Born and raised a Jersey girl, I now reside in beautiful New Hampshire with my husband and our multitude of furry pets and spend most of my time writing, reading, and vacuuming.
