3.5 stars? Fun and digging the sweet hottie and older woman vibes, but I wanted more drama? I felt like it was cute but didn't offer much else

audible version. Thoroughly enjoyed the story line and the characters. Didn't love the female narrators voice but I still enjoyed the book.

Ivy’s marriage is imploding after she finds out her husband has been having an affair. When she meets younger tattoo artist Lukas, the chemistry is immediate, but she’s not sure about their age difference. As Ivy and Lukas’s relationship grows, Ivy’s ex-husband shows his jealousy and tries to make Ivy doubt Lukas. 

I’m not usually a fan of reverse age gap stories, but this book is amazing. The characters, especially Lukas, are so strongly written. I love Gram as well. The world building is phenomenal. Lukas’s home, a former church, sounds gorgeous. The plot of the story is amazing and fast paced. While Lukas and Ivy are falling in love, they must deal with a lot of drama created by other people in their lives, but their feelings for one another help them survive the negative events that happen. 

I highly recommend Lukas, book three in the Ashes and Embers series. It can be read as a standalone. Read it and let me know what you think - I’d love to discuss.

I loved this book for so many reasons.
This book had a lot of cross overs from the other books in this series.
The timeline was about the time just after Storm meet his girlfriend in the first book (Blizzard) and then towards the end of this book was the start of Vandal’s story in the second book (crash). In Vandals book we did meet these 2 characters, we just didn’t know their storyline.
The narrators were good, love the plot in this one and lots of spice. I am definitely going to finish this series.

what a great read !

Fantastic book. Absolutely loved it. Some serious heart crushing parts though ! Lukas story is incredible, an all round amazing read !
