Lukas: A Reverse Age Gap Romance (Ashes & Embers Book 3)

Lukas is simply terrific. He is soulful, breathtaking, his love is passionate, hot and will steal your heart.Together, Ivy and Lukas's story is how relationships are meant to be. I love how the author serves up passion with a healthy side of soulful pain and beauty.

Out of the A&E series, Lukas is my favourite. He s grounded n matured for his age. And Ivy and Lukas are perfect together. Couldn't have asked for a better ending.

WOW!! Lukas and Ivy's book is an absolutely beautiful romantic love story.I forgot just how much I loved them together.The raw passion and deep connection they share still sent shivers down my spine.Age really is just a number when it comes to Ivy and Lukas, He may be younger than her but he's is a lot more worldly wise than Ivy, Lukas is an old soul with strong values and morals. I loved that about him.If there's one man who deserves to be loved, it's Lukas. He has the biggest heart and just needs someone to protect it.Ivy is just the woman for the job, she too has the same morals as Lukas and believes in soul mates.Ivy and Lukas are perfect together, they Worship each other, they're a match made in heaven. I fell head over heels for them both during their emotional romantic journey.

Swoony? Is that a word? Well, Lukas is just that, and so much more.An old soul in a hot young body, Lukas has lived a thousand lives when he meets Ivy. She’s older, a mother of two and about to be divorced. But their souls sing out to each other, and Lukas knows he’s found his match.The path to true love never runs smooth, however. Ivy’s initial reticence over the age gap between them is a challenge he readily accepts, and wins. Her ex husband does his damnedest to split them up, and just when you think they’ve overcome everything, another bombshell is dropped into their lives.Lukas and Ivy are wonderful characters. They are passionate, intelligent, loving, articulate people who deserve a happy ending. This story fits so well into the wider series, and I love how the stories weave in and out of each other. Reading the same scene from so many different perspectives is brilliant. I think this is my favourite book of the series so far.

I've read all Ms'Cole's stories in this series to date, and I love this Valentine family. While not all earned top 5 stars, it's simply because of my own personal preferences and comforts that affected my rating as the books are written to a top notch standard, and tempt all kinds of emotional responses.This book was a five star until close to the last chapters.. Enter SPOILER FROM NOW ON.While I had no issue with what the daughter did, * she was a spoiled little bitch in my book*, I didn't think the author carried it off well at all. It was too fast, too sudden, and the effect it had too drastic in such a small time frame of readable lines and paragraphs. While her skill as a writer isn't challenged because the lady can most definitely write, I just didn't think she hadn't the skill to take on a subject that had a daughter behave as she did in trying to set up her mother's much younger fiance and the mothers instinctive knee jerk reaction which while was right in reality, felt very much that of a woman totally blind to how much a brat her daughter could be and how big a bastard her ex was. While reading it I felt like it was a 'Duh' moment when the h woke up to the fact her H was innocent. It just felt too rushed so the impact never happened beyond a faint eye roll and wanting to smack Mum for not seeing what her daughter was doing. There just wasn't enough time given in that incident to produce the emotion that a plot of that kind deserved even if you were to believe Lukas might be a dog. So a loss of a star for moving too fast on something that warranted better and more in dept coverage to squeeze all the hurt out of the situation.Anyway to that point it was a the perfect love story...perfect win of each others hearts, perfect guy who was an old head on young shoulders. He was gorgeous. Pity that mother and daughter were so stupid on both sides of their fences. It was redeemed in the epilogue simply because of the arrival of a lovely new baby and I hope that story isn't left to lie there but is looked into further with the respect such a plot deserves. I don't like doors being opened that aren't treated with care where children are concerned....so I'll be watching.Despite my issue with that awful teenage daughter, it added the drama that seems to be a formula of these books, it's a greatstory with a beautiful young man who has more sense than some of the women he's taken on in his life. He deserves all the happiness his intended bride MUST now give him.4 stars easily but robbed of 5 because of the shoddy way the drama was dealt with, which was a pity. But I feel positive irrespective of that, the book carries enough joy to shake off that bump....so enjoy.

This is the 3rd book in this phenomenal series and what a perfect addition this story is. This is a story beautifully written tale which is an emotional roller coaster throughout. I was completely captivated throughout this addictive page turner and I highly recommend for all readers
