Great series
What a great series this was. Books 1-4, I loved each one of them. It was nice to get to know these boys and their families. Each story was unique but the love that bounced off the pages was consistent. My favorite was Storm, but they were all good.

Storm - Perfect beginning - Absolutely loved this heartwarming story. Storm and Evie were perfect together. I laughed out loud and wiped away tears while these two unlikely soulmates came together. I cannot wait to read more of this series. I am hooked.
Vandal - Surprisingly good - I will admit, I did not think I could read this book after Vandal's accident. To lose a child like that was too emotional for me. However, I am glad I continued to read it as the layers of hurt, control and desperation ...more

I have read and reread these but must have been before joining GRs which has to be the only reason why I haven't reviewed them here. *See my updated review below.
I just have FLOVED every book by Carian Cole and despite the lack of reviews on this site, I have read every one she's written so far.
This authors talent for writing emotional, exciting, sexy AF characters (+ family oriented Rockstars and MC romances, big bonus for me!) is just one reason she will always be a one click author for me.

“Evie, you gotta stop living in fear. You can’t see the stars unless you go out in the dark. You get what I’m saying?”
Ever read a line and close the book, staring at the wall cause it was just so perfect you need a minute to absorb it? There were a few of those in this one. I had 2 long flights this weekend and devoured this book. I fell in love with Carian's writing in 'No Tomorrow' a few months ago and I'm honestly still in a book hangover from that one. I've read a ton of ...more

Just read these. Every single book in this Series is five stars. All a bit different but equally amazing. These are so easy to immerse yourself in but so hard to put down😍! I rarely write reviews but made a point to go back and share my thoughts. Husband had to put out a missing persons report cuz I got lost in these books!

Wow, I just.. this book is a-w-e-s-o-m-e! Serious I would recommend this series... And this would be worthy of a re-read.
Each sexy hawt guy is serious Alpha and sweet to the bone... YES I cannot WAIT for Ash's story
Okay Storm is very naughty at the beginning as all the bad boys are but still a sweetie (I myself grew up around the big muscled tatted long hair *not rockstar* guys and they are SERIOUSLY misunderstood but sweet, I'm not saying every one of them are just MOST ladies ;) ) *sorry off t ...more

So worthy of more than 5 stars.
I cannot say enough good things about these books. There isn't enough words. Each book,each character has his or her own story to tell, and each is a story to be loved and cherished forever. ...more

I am a little upset with this series. I do like it, but it fell short.
Carian Cole's writing is good, her characters are good, the overall storyline is good. Sadly, there is the big BUT.
While all her characters are really likable, they are also not very unique, there just are too many stereotypes. The perfect grandmother to bring the family together, to give life advice and feed everybody. The loving parents, highly talented and successful, the smart, talented children, all beyond beauti ...more

I love these books and will always look forward to rereading them. Which one is my favourite? I really can’t say they all have great twists and turns; they all touch on real life challenges; they are all a rollercoaster ride for the emotions. They all left me wanting more, I became so engrossed in them that when I finished them I felt bereft which in my eyes makes Carian Cole a great author.
Dnf at 66%. I don't know when I've read something I've disliked more.

Not Disappointed
I borrowed this bundle from Kindle Unlimited to read Talon and brush up on the previous books. It is totally worth it. With improbable storyline for Talon and Asia it did work. There was a twist which even made it better. I can’t wait to read Asher’s book. This is good uplifting romance at it’s best.

I’ve read all the books prior to this release as a matter of fact I own them all but I wanted this for the Asher bit at the end. I have wanted Asher and Embers book since Storms book and this little teaser just made me want it more!! I can’t wait!!!!!
Fantastic Collection
Loved all four of these books in this box set. Each one will pull on your heartstrings and have you calling in love with all the characters.

Three amazing stories! But I have to know about Asher. Evie, Ivy and Asia, three girls that need good men! I have to read more by this author!

The Ashes&Embers series conveniently in one place! Loved the Asher bonus can’t wait to read his story
Varian Cole gives us a glimpse of what's to come!!!
And I cannot wait. I am utterly beyond giddy to read Asher and Embers book. I know it will be a long while before it comes out. But I still cannot wait nonetheless!!!!
Varian writes about these men who seriously I wish existed. Its unreal to think about a man loving his wife and family the way these men do. I haven't seen that kind of love ever. And I wish I could. But if I can't the least I can do is read about them. And that's what Carian Cole ...more

I read a lot of books but this series is one of my all time favorites. The stories are wonderful, the characters are unforgettable and the writing is superb! You feel every emotion from utter desolation to total jubilation and everything in between! These books will be the ones you read over and over again!
Incredible book and definitely deserves 5 stars! There are 4 individual books and a couple teasers at the end. The characters are unique and unforgettable, I can’t wait until the next book comes out. Never a dull moment and you won’t want to put it down.
Well worth it
This is a brilliant way to experience the magic of Carians writing in one single hit and the goodies at the end are divine . So if you like well crafted emotional and books that grab you pull you through all manner of emotions then read this and not be disapointed

Storm and Evie are a couple that make you completely fall in love with them and the chemistry that they have from the very first scream lol.

Great Reads
I’m going to first admit I’ve enjoyed this series. But...here’s the thing. I’m tall. Sometimes I want the heroine to look like me. I’m pretty certain the author is short, because all of the heroines in this series are short. It sort of got old.
The books in this series are dark, with tattooed dark heroes, and I use heroes lightly here. These are men who all come with baggage, just like the women. All a bit damaged by someone else or the circumstances of their life. Some have endured ...more

A group of sexy rockers what's not to love
Enjoyed these books. Sexy rockers with heart. First book was Storm, he would be my choice man. Lead singer, sexy and loyal. Second book Vandel and Katie slayed me! A lot of angst in this one. A little BDSM sex.The ending was not my favorite, she had a secret and didn't come clean after he revealed his. Third book, I loved Lukas old soul and his patience and maturity. And how he would give sound advice, tattoo artist and musician , a man who knew what he ...more

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.

“So…the semicolon became a sorta symbol for this nonprofit movement that's dedicated to supporting people dealing with depression, suicide, mental illness, all that sort of thing. Wearing the symbol means we decided we're not over, we chose to keep going. It can also show that we lost someone close to us to suicide or know someone dealing with any of those things I mentioned. It's a symbol of hope.”
