Storm’s younger cousin.
Vandal’s little brother.
You’ve met him in the background.
The sweet one.
The nice one.
The one they can all rely on.
The good one.
He’s a tattoo artist. He plays metal and classical music - on the violin.
He’s got a body built for sin.
He’s 24.
In comes Ivy. She’s a 36 year old single mom who hasn’t dated in 18 years.
All she wanted was a tattoo.
She got a helluva lot more :)
Being good has never been so bad.
Wendy's 5 Bare Naked Star Review
Lukas is like a prism, so many sides to him and you want to
experience each and every one of them.
The sweet, venerable man.
The take charge, dirty talking, push me up against a wall man. The loving, caring, besotted man. I found each one of those men all in one
character all in one book.
Lukas by Carian Cole.
Ivy, devoted mother and wife in her mid-thirties betrayed by
the one man who should have cherished her forever.
“I lurch toward the toilet and vomit up eighteen years of trust,
devotion, commitment and love” Ivy
Betrayal crushes every ounce of self-esteem and confidence
this beautiful and intelligent woman possesses.
But there is one man that can give all that back to her.
Lukas is young, in his twenties but somehow old before his
time in his mature attitude brought about by his own hurt and insecurities,
although to look at him, no one would think he had anything to be insecure
about
“Silver piercing’s decorate his eyebrow and lower lip. His eyes are dark with amber flecks – what we
gals would describe as bedroom eyes”
Oh did I mention the broad chest, toned muscular shoulders
and full sleeved artwork. I’ll let you
think about all that for a second. Mmmmmmmm. Back with me? Good.
So Ivy and Lukas, an unlikely pairing, he’s nearer her
daughters age than hers, but it works.
He’s smitten, she’s being all adult about it, and I just wanted to keep
yelling at her to stop adulting and let the man show you what you’ve been
missing for the last god knows how many years. The banter between them was
funny and the chemistry between them hot.
The story was interspersed with our favourite characters
from previous books but could easily be a standalone.
Tragedy is close to hand and deception follows closely
taking advantage of Ivy’s self doubt and trust issues.
I was raging mad at this point, you will know why when you
get there, I was not happy at all, someone needed a bloody good slap.
And then there was the feathers.
The day after I finished the book I was walking my dogs in
the field and found a black feather at my feet, it was actually quite an emotional
moment.
Congratulations Carian yet again you have brought us a fine
man, who captured our hearts and a strong woman who just needed to be pointed
in the right direction to understand her feelings. They both helped each other recover from pasts
that haunted them
Loved this book.

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 book 2, Vandal, was published in February 2015 with several more of this series planned throughout 2015.
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.
