I don't give a 5 star rating very often! But, dayum, this was a fabulous read! I absolutely loved it! JR Ward step aside and make room for Carian Cole! 
 Here's one of my favorite paragraphs(view spoiler)[...He makes my heart clench. Is this real? Is he real? I want to believe he is. I need to believe he is.... (hide spoiler)] 
 This author gives all her characters believable personality's and depth. Some writers have what I think of as "filler characters" that take up space in the story as a friend or something like that, but they have no substance to them. If that makes any sense. 
 This story was very believable and the drama these characters went through to get to their HEA was very true to life. No cheesy ending either. I hate cheesy endings! Makes my ass hurt. 
 This is third in the series, Ashes and Embers, so I'm going back to read the first in the series, immediately! 
 I have read some author Q and A, and she says she will be expanding on this series. *Squeal!* Also, book four will be released at the end of October! *Squeals again!* 
 If your a lover of romance, do yourself a favor and read this book! I gotta go now. Must. Get. Storm. On. My. Kindle. Now!!!!
