About this listen

I should have died. I should have been forgotten. But I didn't, and I wasn't.

Living the life most women only dream about, I was madly in love with my soulmate - Asher Valentine - amazing husband, loving father, and rock's favorite kick-ass frontman. A man who loved me every day, in every way, since we first met as teens. We were blessed with a beautiful daughter who was the light of our life. My all-female rock band was tearing up the charts.

Then tragedy struck, and I lost it all.

Now all I have is a stack of journals, an antique key, and a big black void where my memories should be. Used to be.

And I have him - this man with wild hair, tattoos from head to toe, a soft voice, and an even softer touch that gives me butterflies. He's clearly hopelessly in love with his wife. I'm told that's me.

But that wife is gone, and she took everything they once had, leaving me in her place. A broken replacement. A new version that doesn't quite fit.

I'm slowly falling in love with him, but will he ever truly love me? Or will he forever be in love with her, the phantom woman who haunts us both?

Heartbreaking Emotional Ride

There is always a character that the reader links a series to and although Asher did not get his story told until the end he still had an impact on the rest of them. Just like fine wine gets better with age, so has Carian Cole. There is no fluff in this story. Every chapter, every conversation, every word spoken has meaning and brings this heart wrenching story to life. While listening I sighed with happiness, cried ugly tears to the point that my husband thought someone died and I had to put the audio-book down to regroup, but I also had the a-ha moments that connected items in other books in the series together. This audio-book had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, but with every instance the listener is right there invested in his story and walks through the emotional journey. I can honestly proclaim this is the best audio-book of 2020. I only wish I could give it 5000 stars. As with the rest of the series I will be listening and reading this time and time again. Maxine Mitchell and Aiden Snow were Asher and Ember - perfect narrators.

Wrecked

I went through it all with Ember and Asher as they pieced together their new beginning, struggling to find themselves again. This was a major rollercoaster in the best way which had a great flow of growth for all characters involved. Beautiful story of finding their forever together.

The best of the series

Wow! High praises, Cariann! The best of the series. Stumbled across this series. While each book was well written, THIS one is by far my favorite. I hope there’s a book about Redwood…

I look forward to reading all your books.

Favorite book of series

I loved everything about this book. The narrators brought this book to life. The other books were all right. but this was the best book ever listened to in a while. The characters went through so many emotions. The story was so soon worthy, but yet sad but with such a happy ending. I absolutely recommend this book.

WOW! A Fantastic And Well Written Story Read By Excellent Actors!

This is among my top 5 favorite audiobooks! Carian Cole takes us on a journey with highs, lows, love, fear, anger, despair and bliss. She took the time to develop the characters and the story in depth, which is a rarity. Aiden Snow and Maxine Mitchell have narrated many audiobooks together and they have great chemistry. Their acting and narration skills breathe life into the story with emotions, authenticity and chemistry that make the story a very special journey.

Worth the wait!

After listening to the first books in the Ashes and Embers series, I couldn't wait to hear Asher's story. He is the main focus, though lies in the background and his history with the others is what made the band. With careful thought and talent, Carian Cole has released this gem and we get to hear how it all started. We only knew Ember in a coma with the devoted husband by her side. Now we get to see where their future will go. As Ember wakes up, with no memory, these two take the journey of a lifetime. Not easy, not perfect, but always loving. I was not sure what to expect with this story, but I was blown away! Asher is incredible. He is loving, patient, devoted and never gave up. Ember is much more complicated. She has so much to deal with, plus the expectations of the people around her. I love the interaction of Tor and Kenzi too! After listening to Torn, it's fun to have the stories overlap. This is a beautiful story and I am so glad I grabbed this one!

The casting of these characters is perfect! Aiden Snow as Asher gives him that growlie, wounded sound. Asher is hurting and you can hear all the emotions running through Snow's voice. He is amazing. Ember's complexity needs a woman who understands all the emotions and Maxine Mitchell shines through the performance. I enjoyed this couple as they gave us their interpretation of Asher and Ember.

A beautiful end to this series.

I have loved every word for this series and it is so fitting that today marks three years since this beautiful book has met the world. Throughout this series, we see Asher's love for Ember. He never gave up hope that Ember would wake up. But he struggles to accept that she isn't the wife he remembers. Ember has to learn everything again plus to know that the beautiful man who visits her every day is her husband. This book is a roller coaster of emotions from the beginning. But I loved seeing Ember accept who she is now. This is one series that I can't put down and will continue to revisit.
