The Raven Sons MC Club #3
From the Ashes
When a redeemed psychopath falls for a single mom…
“I’ll kiss every inch of you until you no longer think you’re not good enough. To me, you are perfect.”
LANA
He doesn’t smile. He barely speaks. But when Carter looks at me, something inside me melts.
My ex-husband tried to destroy me and now he wants me back.
But I’m not the same woman he broke. I’m a single mother, rebuilding from the ashes. I crave truth, safety, and love. And somehow, Carter feels like all three.
The only question is… can I trust myself to fall again?
CARTER
She flinches when I get too close. Blushes when I linger too long. And still, she doesn’t run.
Lana is all fire and fragility, fierce in a way that makes my chest ache.
She comes with a little boy and a haunted past, but none of that scares me.
I’ve gone thirteen years without a smile, and just as long without hope.
I’d bleed for her if it meant she never had to feel fear again.
Even if I’m not the man who gets to keep her.
From the Ashes is a standalone MC romance, and the third book of The Raven Sons. This is a slow-burn, closed-door, emotional love story. Please check trigger warnings before reading. All characters are 18+.

Mon préféré de la saga : le psychopathe qui tombe amoureux, rien de mieux ! J’ai adoré Carter et Lana, leur évolution commune et la manière dont ils réapprennent à aimer ensemble. En raison de sa difficulté à cerner les émotions des autres, Carter dit toujours exactement ce qu’il pense, ce qui rend les dialogues essentiels, courts et particulièrement dynamiques. J’ai aussi beaucoup aimé le regard de Lana sur Carter : elle le voit tel qu’il est et l’accepte pleinement, sans chercher à le changer.
Petite déception toutefois : l’absence d’un tome 4 centré sur Ash. Il est pourtant très présent dans ce tome et possède une forme de naïveté, vu sa surprise face aux améliorations de Carter, qui aurait mérité d’être explorée davantage. J’aurais adoré le voir confronté à une épreuve plus marquante, avec l’action manquante dans le reste de la saga.

Carter has my whole heart 🥺🫶
I loved the characters so much, Cassie. I loved everything about them. The characters are so complex and batteling their own darkness while finding the light at the same time. Especially, Lana. DV is not a simple topic that can be written and you have handled it in the most considered way possible. It's not easy, but one day, you will get the strenght for it. It will happen once you stand for yourself. It's hard, but not imposible. It was an emotional ride for me, and I adored all the characters. 🫶🫶🫶🫶 Can't wait for more stories from you! Thank you for writing such amazing stories with incrediable characters. You deserve all the apperications for your hardwork 🫶

Absolutely in love. I have no other words except that.
The absolute best way to end the series was with Carter and Lana. I love how sweet their story was, the way they both grew and taught each other how to be loved, how to be yourself. I was so excited to see small crumbs of everyone, especially Ares and Mia and Vox and Rose. One of my favorite parts was definitely seeing Carters friendship with Ash, he was always such a good friend to him.
10/10. I will miss these characters

Did I meet Carter in book one and Immediately need his book? absolutely.
Maybe it's the toxic, "I can fix him" piece in me that n0 amount of therapy will truly fix.
But I saw Carter and was like oh... He looks like he needs someone who is willing to meet him where he's at...
This book had me in a fucking pile of goo the whole time. Lana and Carter's interactions were so damn sweet, I found myself constantly kicking my feet and grinning. (like there is no way I could have read this book in public with a straight face it was just to cute)
I do think some of it was definitely because I could relate to both Carter and Lana's internal dialogues, while not word for word how my internal dialogue sounds, it felt so similar. That it felt like meeting a kindred spirit in a way. Overall a great experience.
My one nitpick, is that there were a few spelling errors, and overall it didn't feel like Carter's timeline was fully fleshed out over the course of the three books and his life, because I'd occasionally run into something that would contradict something that was said earlier. but it wasn't enough to ruin the experience.

This series is 3 for 3 of 5 star books. I dig the vibes of each one I’ve read. As always, check the trigger warnings before indulging. Lana and Carter’s love story was so beautiful. His patience and desire to protect her and be the best version of himself, despite feeling like he’s broken melted my heart. He was just so soft with her and her history. It was amazing. I loved each step the plot took in their story. Carter helped Lana realize how strong she really was, and let her flourish. I have no other words to describe how beautiful it was to “watch” this unfold. Well done to the author!

This is an okay read.
Nothing much was special with the plot or characters. It had a lot of self-awareness on both main characters and also had them battling inner self insecurities and traumas they both endured. In the end, they both overcame them for themselves.

i would rank this 2 out of the series. i still preferred the first. i really am just not loving the writing. it’s the bad kind of corny. everything is predictable. i liked the two characters though so there’s that. it was an okay book but nothing spectacular

Such an easy read. Loved the characters so much, and it was sun a fun story to read! Carter melted my heart so much, and seeing Lana become strong on her own feet reminded me that we can start again and grow stronger. I laughed, cried, and LOOOVED this book from the start till the very end. What a way to end a series <3

To be honest some of the FL struggles remained me of myself how some bad people I’ll make you think that everything you made or everything you’ve been through was nothing like everything you do is wrong that u can’t life without that someone that even doing simple task like paying the bill something that is so stupidly easy make u feel like when ur doing it it’s wrong that ur useless when they do it they’re doing it, right, and make you second-guessing your decision of going out or doing something that you’re scared of doing and making you feel like you’re useless or like you’re dumb because you decided to stand up for yourself I really loved it made me to remember that what I do wasn’t wrong The important thing is going forward.

Sociopath? No. Hottie, yes!
I enjoyed this one. I've read the whole series now, and I feel like I enjoyed each one more than the last. I think there were a few unrealistic things, but that books for ya. In general, I'd read it again. Enjoyed how caring he was. He strove to learn social cues and human emotions. I like that he sought therapy and wasn't her savior.
There were some mistakes and misspellings in the text. Some sayings that didn't make sense, but I realize the author is not American and there are cultural differences. 4/5 stars.

I loved the single mom trope and the redeemed psychopath!
Carter and Lana were such an amazing couple! I loved how Carter was so obsessed with her and wanted to protect her and her son Noah!
Lana is a strong character who had to work through her trauma of abuse from her ex husband! I loved her heart and how much she loved her son!
Carter is the type of man who would literally burn the world down for her and I couldn't get enough of it!

loved the first half and Thier meetings and the beginning of Thier relationship and how they healed and moved on but the second half was kinda of slow and really nothing happened and I am still waiting for her to know that he was stalking her from the beginning??
also I would have loved to see her son and the MMC relationship we did not see anything of them keeping in mind he is a big deal in her life .

I have no words to describe how beautiful this story is... Honestly, this book has been such a moving journey toward healing and the art of learning to trust again. Lana and Carter completely won my heart; they have undoubtedly become my favorite couple. And Noah... oh, that little one! I love him so much, he is pure light. But let’s talk about the epilogue: OH MY GOSH, it is simply perfect! Such a beautiful ending that left me totally in love. I absolutely loved it! 🥹🤍🤍

“I’ll kiss every inch of you until you no longer think you’re not good enough. To me, you are perfect. Where you see a flaw, I see a story. Where you see a scar, I see strength.” — Carter

An emotional ride
Carter and Lana story is something else. And in some ways the best on the in series.
Cassie knows how to write characters and focus on different aspects some writers dont.
Carter feels so much more than other see.
Quote of the book
Scariest and nicest. Perhaps he could like me.

Muy lindo en todo aspecto. Carter es una green flag y Lana es una mujer súper fuerte.
Solo una cosa. ¿Creo que intercambian sus números dos veces? no sé si fue a propósito o si fue que la autora se le pasó. Solo un pequeño detalle.
Lo negativo:
El final del ex esposo de Lana. No me gustó porque puede repetir lo mismo con otra familia.

Was the author pms'ing hard when she wrote this? Way way too many mentions of chocolate, caramel and hazelnut. Made me hungry tbh.
What were her eyes, hair, brows color again? I kinda forgot not like she repeated it like 50 times.
Could definitely use some editing, but I liked the story even if the pace was boring at times.

Me sorprendió de buena manera.
El único pero q es cómo terminó el asqueroso del ex. Pensé que Carter le daría su merecido o que mínimo el asqueroso ese iría a la cárcel, pero no, se fue como si nada a formar otra familia. Ese tipo no merece ser feliz.
