No Tomorrow

By: Carian Cole

Narrated by: Jillian Macie, Aiden Snow

The people we love are thieves. They steal our hearts. They steal our breath. They steal our sanity. And we let them. Over and over and over again.

They say you never forget your first love.

Mine was a homeless musician who wandered straight into my soul.

He was my first everything. And fourteen years later, I still can't get him out of my head.

He broke all my rules. He also broke my heart.

I watched him climb to stardom, cheering him on from afar. But I was never a fan; just a girl in love.

Like a tornado, he spiraled, leaving a path of destruction in his wake.

But love conquers all, right? It has to. Because here I stand, ravaged and ruined, needing it to be true.

We can't go back, but I want to. Back to the park. Back to when he sang only for me. Before he was famous. Before he shattered my heart.

I thought I knew everything about him. But I could not have been more wrong.

He promised me every tomorrow. And here I am, waiting.

And hoping.

Again.

Contains mature themes.

Critic reviews

"Carian Cole has an exceptional talent with storytelling...the romance is unlike anything you have read." (Spellbound Stories)

*****Spoiler Alert*****

No Tomorrow by Carian Cole. Audiobook review. Dual POV. It's a contemporary romance standalone, but Carian Cole has plans to write a few more books in this "world." It's listed as 18 hours 43 minutes; I listened at speed 2.50 for 7 hours 29 minutes. Both narrators read well. Jillian Macie narrates the majority of the book. Aiden Snow only had 5 chapters from Evan/Blue's perspective out of the 66 total chapters. Content warnings: mental health issues; suicide attempt; child neglect; miscarriage; drug and alcohol abuse; child born without knowing the father's full name; death of a pet; and homelessness.

This is a beautiful beast of a story. Reading the reviews before and after I read it makes me appreciate how polarizing it is. It is hands down one of my top three favorite books of all time. The three-way tie is with two of this author's other books: 'Tied' and 'Don't Kiss the Bride'. I've read and listened to it multiple times and it is better every single time. The story changed my world view on homelessness and mental illness. I never felt preached to or like I was being force fed the author's agenda, she simply told her characters' stories. It's beautiful and tragic and then the characters find their HEA. I truly hope everyone ignores any negative reviews and gives the book the chance it deserves, it really is phenomenal. JP

2.5 out of 5 on my spice scale.

Loved it

I have not written an audible review until today because I absolutely loved this story. It’s so real and about real life things that happen to all of us or those around us. I can even say how much I enjoyed this book. Can’t wait for this writer to write more. Even and Piper were so absolutely adorable together and heartbreaking at times but it's all good in the end. 🥰

Top 5 Book

Loved it! There were so many ups and downs and real life issues. This is in my top 5 all favorite books!

Hook line and Sinker

This book got me from the very beginning, the raw emotion & love in this story hit me hard. I do wish there was more of blu’s story and understanding his mind and the torment he went through during the journey of his love with his ladybug, I was disappointed by this because I think knowing more of his story would have made this book even better.

WOW!

A very depressing story with an extremely good message. The only complaint I have is the narration. I am a huge fan of Aiden Snow's deep sexy voice of which you don't get to hear until chapter 44. I always want to hear male voice for male characters.
