Carian Cole - Ashes & Embers Series Reading Order

ROCK STAR ROMANCE ALERT!!! This series has been the star of two recent posts (a reader question post AND a reader confession post) and I just had to know more! And after reading the blurbs of each of ‘em, these are RIGHT UP OUR ALLEY!!! And the author gives us a bit of her own insight saying:

“My entire Ashes & Embers rock star series is about girl-next-door types meeting one of the guys in this band (made up of brothers and cousins). All have a HEA and can be read as stand-alones, but better together. xoxo”

And our fellow readers weigh in!

Marion: I was just going to u our FB page to rave about Talon when I saw you’d already put it on this list. It’s Book 4 of the Ashes & Embers Series by Carian Cole so after I was done I went on to read Book 1, 2 & 3 Storm and Vandal & Lukas all really good books with awesome feels! I cannot wait for Ashers story!!

Kathy: Vandal by Carian Cole (you just have to read it!)

Michelle T: Me and my 2 book buddies read Torn when it was released and didn’t know of the spin off until the end of Torn so we all went straight to Storm! Lol. Then came Vandal and I Was IN LOVE and thought no way I will like the others better but then came Lukas… WOW! He was my favorite but Vandal & Tor are a close second! Enjoyed them all though

Faye: I’m a huge fan of Carian Cole’s Ashes & Embers rock-star series-… This series is so well-written, very steamy, and has unique storylines. Please check it out if you can! As a bonus, the covers are gorgeous.

Beverly: Talon by Carian Cole, Pretend You’re Mine by Lucy Score, and The Rocker Who Betrays Me by Terri Anne Browning were my latest 5′s.

About book #1:

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?

READING ORDER (while interconnected they CAN each be read as standalones):

Storm (Ashes & Embers Book 1)
Vandal (Ashes & Embers Book 2)
Lukas (Ashes & Embers Book 3)
Talon (Ashes & Embers Book 4)
Loving Storm (Ashes & Embers Book 5) <— Please note: Loving Storm is a novella that gives an extended look into Storm and Evie’s future. It is best read after reading Storm (and also Vandal, Lukas, and Talon, as those characters have short cameos in this book)
