COVER REVEAL: DON'T KISS THE BRIDE



 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 (ASHES AND EMBERS #6)












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?

Nikki's Review:

Jesus. I feel like I’ve been rode hard and put up wet. Seriously, this book is all kinds of angsty. My absolute favourite.

This is book 6 in the series, and I feel like I’ve waited a lifetime for Asher’s book. Not really, but I’ve wanted it badly. It was worth the wait. This book has serious heart and grit. It’s not a traditional romance, in my opinion, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t romantic, because it was that...and more. 

Asher’s wife, Ember, has woken up from an 8 year coma with complete memory loss. I mean, can you imagine loving someone so much that  they are the very beat of your heart, and they don’t don’t remember a single moment of your lives together? My heart continually broke for them both. Asher just devastated me.

This was a real journey. I wanted an easy solution to the whole thing. I just wanted Ember to get her memories back, but I appreciate that the author didn’t take the simple way out. From what I’ve gathered, Ms. Cole did a ton of research on traumatic brain injuries and amnesia, and it certainly shows. She put these characters through their paces. She made them work and fight for their healing and happiness. I’m emotionally exhausted, but it was so perfect. 

This was a beautifully written book. I was entranced by Asher and Ember’s love story. I was cheering for them while they got to know one another and fall in love all over again. 

I bet you want to know if Ember ever regains her memories? I’d like to tell you that, but then I’d be depriving you of the chance to walk this path with her and Asher. You’ll have to read it to get that answer. And whatever the outcome, you won’t be sorry you did.
