pickThis is the 2nd book of the series and the fourth I have read. Also, my least favorite because I really didn't care for the plot. It was just off and not believable. I was not a fan of Tabitha especially after the ending and her actions didn't make sense to me. At least I understood Vandal. A soft pick for me at 3ish ⭐️

pickTHE FEELS! Have kleenex handy. Like a lot of it. This is a heavy read but holy feelings so good.
So I started reading the Carian Cole‘s Ashes & Embers series a couple years ago but never read past the first book but it‘s been brought to my attention recently so I reread the first book, Storm, and now on to Vandal!
panI'm sorry this book just wasn't for me. I didn't think the reason was good behind Vandal getting into a sexual relationship with Tabitha. It was unhealthy and just masked his real pain that he needed to heal from. He doesn't need a sexual relationship, he needs therapy
panDang, this was a bummer for me bc I loved the first in the series so much. A lot of heavy stuff happening in this one, but I just didn't find anything believable about a grieving, recently widowed woman entering into a D/s relationship with someone she just met at the cemetery. And that's just the tip of the iceberg bc he's also grieving the loss of his 5yo daughter. Just didn't do it for me. Fingers crossed for the third book 🤞🏽 #romantsy

pickI absolutely love Vandal, a story so beautiful and harsh, a contradiction just as its hero is. Vandal is a damaged, tortured man who believes that he unworthy and not redeemable. The beginning of the story is so heartbreaking and emotional.
