★★★★

I have a confession to make….This is the first time I actually picked up a Carian Cole novel to read. I know…I’m shaking my head along with you all. I cannot believe this is the first time I’ve read a novel by this author. What is wrong with me! Better late than never, right?

I requested an ARC of Loving Storm by Carian Cole simply due to the blurb. It was a hook line and sinker type thing. Then I received an email telling me If I haven’t yet read Storm (Ashes and Embers #1) to do it before reading Loving Storm. I am so glad I listened to the email and dropped Loving Storm before totally getting invested because let’s be honest, I would have been confused AF! I highly recommend you all read Storm first. Actually read the whole series first because I noticed in this novel there are teeny spoilers everywhere.

NOW….If you haven’t read Storm yet and plan on doing so after reading the upper half of my review…stop reading here. Loving Storm is a continuation of Storm meaning there will be one small spoiler.

Loving Storm takes place six months after the proposal. I was beyond thrilled after reading Storm and diving straight into Loving Storm.

Evelyn and Storm are ready to ride off into the sunset but first there is a wedding to be planned. Planning a wedding can be tough when Evelyn is still battling with her anxiety and fears of rejection. I loved the fact that even though Storm is intense with the world he is different with Evelyn. With Evelyn he is right beside her being the patient man that he is and helping her through her inner thoughts. Storm is still as swoony as ever, if not more.

OMG! I am stopping here because the rest would bring some major spoilers. Let’s just end this portion of my review saying….STORM is the perfect…EVERYTHING!

After finishing Loving Storm I felt a sense of closure on this couples story. My heart is now settled knowing these two finally found their happily ever after within each other!

I cannot wait to continue on with the Ashes and Embers series. These characters are wicked and wild. I find them all intriguing. There is a little mystery behind each and everyone of them. I can’t wait!
