Dark by Lora Ann
Where to start? This is one hell of a ride! You don’t have to be familiar with Lora’s previous series, The Strand Brothers, to enjoy the amazing roller coaster of this first in a new series. However, we met Keeley and Tar way back in that series, and knew their story would someday be told.
Lora Ann has created a story so gut wrenching and beautiful, that you feel along with the characters the pain and heartache and your heart starts pumping like you’ve been running. It’s a fast paced thriller with gritty and raw scenes that keep you on the edge of your seat, wanting more, cheering for Keeley and Tar’s light and love to make it through all the pain.
Keeley is a runner – she runs from her emotions and thoughts, thinking that she’s protecting everyone around her. Tar, he’s a warrior on all levels. Dark brings to light Tar’s background and more of Keeley’s struggle with life and pain. Wonderful new characters are introduced like Mitch and you see a sprinkling of Keeley’s family, The Strand Brothers, and their amazing family ties. And of course there’s Viv and Braxton, the villains to love to hate. Man, Lora Ann, you know how to write really good bad villains!!
If you like dark, thrilling, on-the-edge, steamy reads, this is for you. Some scenes are triggers, so if you’re affected, this may not be for you. I’m at the top of that roller coaster, waiting to go down that first monstrous hill! Bring on the second part!! 5 out 5 stars. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
Fire (Beautiful Ashes Series, Book 2) By Lora Ann
Hang on for a tumultuous roller coaster ride! The love of Keeley’s life walks out on her, Tar is thrown into the middle of an investigation and Keeley is tormented by her warring demons. Lora Ann has truly captured the human emotion of sorrow, grief and heartbreak in this book. Not only has she done that, but she has also beautifully portrayed family, loyalty and love. I am so rooting for this couple to have a HEA, the journey there will be a ride Lora Ann is sure not to disappoint us with! Beautifully written, 5 out of 5 stars!
Light Beautiful Ashes Series Book 3
Divine Intervention at its best!
Light is the final book in the Beautiful Ashes Series by Lora Ann. By now, hopefully you have read Dark and Fire and have watched Keeley and Tar’s story develop and unfold. If you haven’t, what the hell are you waiting for??
In Light, a battle is taking place between the forces of Good and Evil. Good is valiantly trying to protect love and the light it brings, while Evil is snaking its way through the story and weaving its lies all around trying to destroy that Light.
Tar has no recollection of what happened or who Keeley is and what he does recall - it’s spotty at best. Enter the Queen of Evil and Evil’s dark lover, Lisa…. Will he remember who he is? Or will Lisa manipulate her way into Tar’s life in her quest for control and power? Lora Ann writes some of the BEST evil characters! I love to hate them!
Keeley’s addiction to pain is always under the surface, can she save her man without falling prey to the dark demon’s seduction? Lora Ann brings real life situations to the forefront in her very flawed characters. They are so well written – I want more stories of this elite ops team! Mitch and Shelby create some sparks in some dark corners with their fiery passion and push/pull dynamics. Even & Lacey Strand and the family make an appearance to unite in battle to take down the slave ring that is holding Tar’s brother captive.
The Angel and Demon that appear are battling in the background on another realm and make their presence known… oh man! I NEED their story!! Their appearances leave you with chills scattered about the book.
Ms. Lora Ann your writing has only gotten better and this is a beautifully written book of the struggle to overcome weakness, love, and depicts the victorious battle worn warriors and their families. 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend!
