Don't Kiss the Bride by Carian Cole
Title: Don't Kiss the Bride
Author: Carian Cole
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: February 1, 2021
BLURB
I guess you could say I was a damsel in distress, and he was my knight in shining armor.
But more accurately, I was a girl with a lot of bad luck, and he was a guy with a lot of muscles and tattoos.
Jude “Lucky” Lucketti wasn’t just a sexy, brooding construction worker. He was my own personal hero who seemed to be in all the right places at the right times. Like when my car broke down and I needed a ride home, and when I face planted on the sidewalk right in front of him and had to be taken to the emergency room.
Those weren’t exactly my best moments, but they were his.
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 old rock music and vintage fast cars, and our aversion to relationships.
When he approached me with a crazy idea to help me out, I couldn’t say no.
The arrangement was supposed to be temporary. A marriage on paper and nothing else.
It should’ve 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.
We had just one rule—no kissing the bride.
But we broke that rule, and it sealed our fate forever.
Carian Cole has a passion for the bad boys, those covered in tattoos, sexy smirks, ripped jeans, fast cars, motorcycles and of course, the sweet girls who try to tame them and win their hearts.
Born and raised a Jersey girl, Carian now resides in beautiful New Hampshire with her husband and their multitude of furry pets. She spends most of her time writing, reading, and vacuuming.

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.

Asher 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?

Review:
Wow! Asher & Ember's book has been a long time coming, but it was worth every second of the wait! It starts off by breaking your heart, but as the story progresses it slowly heals.
Despite being told that his wife would probably never wake up, Asher has never given up hope that she would one day come back to him. Day in and day out, he brings Ember flowers, talks to her, sings to her. Then after eight long years she wakes up from the coma, but with no recollection of him or the past. What follows is a breathtakingly epic story about love, loss and healing that rocked me to my core.
Asher is raw, painful and emotional, but also a sweet, hopeful and inspiring love story. It took me through the full gamut of emotions. My heart hurt and my eyes teared up at times, but I also smiled, connected and felt hopeful. It truly seemed like I was sharing this journey of a love lost and then found with Asher and Ember. And watching the healing and progression of these characters was touching and beautiful. 5 stars and many, many more for Asher and Ember!

The people we love are thieves.
They steal our hearts. They steal our breath.
They steal our sanity.
And we let them.
Over and over and over again.
*********************************************
They say you never forget your first time.
Mine was with a homeless musician who effed my brains out under a bridge.
He was my first love. And fourteen years later, I still can’t get him out of my head.
He broke all my rules.
He also broke my heart.
I watched him climb to stardom, cheering him on from afar.
But I was never a fan; just a girl in love.
Like a tornado, he spiraled, leaving a path of destruction in his wake.
But love conquers all, right? It has to. Because here I stand, ravaged and ruined, needing it to be true.
You can’t go back, but I want to. Back to the bridge. Back to when he sang only for me. Before he was famous. Before he shattered my heart.
I thought I knew everything about him.
But I could not have been more wrong.
He promised me every tomorrow. And here I am, waiting.
And hoping.
Again.

Review:
I finished this book but had to take some time to gather myself. Talk about the emotional ringer. Holy smokes. This book will give you the best book hangover, The angst on a scale of 1-10 is a 15. This is way more than what you think when you read the blurb, it is so much so. While the blurb is intriguing, it sells the book short, IMO. This book deals with such heavy topics such as mental illness, and suicide, as well as true and everlasting love. Yes its a tear jerker, but there is HEA so keep that in mind.
Carian Cole can write a book that stomps all over your heart, puts in back in and you thank her for it. This book was just what I was looking for. The pacing is wonderful, it takes place over a decade, and you really get to see the development of the characters and how they are, why they are like that, and so much more. This book will change you, and change how you look at certain subjects. This wasn't just a romance book, it was a learning experience.
