What I took away I can give back - Vandal (Ashes & Embers #2) by Carian Cole

18++ From Goodreads: "There are many interesting twists and turns and just when you think you know what will happen, a surprise revelation will knock you over. [...] I really liked this book a lot...it was definitely more adult in nature than Storm (which I found to be more sweet and tender)...and had a more gritty edge to the characters and lifestyle. A beautiful and at times painful look at learning to forgive yourself, never forget the past but move on without regret."

Description:

She takes my breath away; she is so beautifully damaged. 

Yes I had broken her, ravished her life, destroyed her happiness. I brought her to ultimate despair. I was responsible for all the pain and suffering that now brought her to her knees in front of me. 

Broken. 
Hopeless. 
Reckless in her agony. 

She is a mirror of my own tortured soul.

But what I took away I can give back.
In ways she cannot even begin to imagine.

She is everything right in all my wrongs.
She loves me. She needs me.
She has no idea I’m the one who wrecked her life

"Vandal was not a sweet story. It was dark it was ugly in places and it was raw as all get out and it was EXCELLENT. It's taken me a week to sit down and write this and Vandal is still strong with me. I don't want to give anything away but I am telling you now, do not go into this book expecting Storm. Storm and his sweet ways is no where to be found". - Goodreads

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?


About the author:

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. Book 2, Vandal, early 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.
