Review
To be
completely honest, this book is a reread for me. The second book in the series (Ignite) was
just released and I often go back for a reread before I dive into the next book
in a series. I had read Burned back in
June 2014 and gave it 5 stars at the time. I agree with my assessment back in June, this
book remains a 5 star read for me. I am amazed that this book packs such a
punch; according to my Nook (I read both Kindle as well as Nook books), this
book has only 126 pages. But those pages
are pretty powerful.
This
book is a second-chance at love book.
I'm new to this blog but I'm just going to say right now: Second chance books are one of my very
favorite genres. Something about finding
someone again has always appealed to me.
This book, Burned, really fills the ticket!
Finnley
is a woman standing at a crossroads of her life; she has finally had enough
with her husband and decides to end the marriage that has been anything but
healthy for her. Her best friend (and by
the way, her best friend Phina totally rocks!) coaxes her out of her house and
takes her to the bar they frequented while they were younger. While there, and feeling a bit out of place,
she runs into her first love, Collin, the boy who broke her heart back in high
school. And the sparks fly....
Our
eyes meet and, for a moment, I wonder if he'll even recognize me. I mean, seventeen years is a long time.
He
does, recognize her I mean.
I
can't explain the sudden burst of happiness any more than I can contain the
smile that hits my face at the thought of Collin being so close. I watch a dimple for on his cheek when he
smiles back at me and, for some crazy reason, butterflies start rapidly beating
in my stomach. I hold my breath as he
picks up his bottle of beer and walks towards me. His eyes never leave mine even as Phina says
hello to him and he responds in kind. He
doesn't stop moving until he's right in front of me and I have to crane my neck
to look up at him...His blue eyes stare into mine and his smile grows wider as
he looks down at me. "Lee." He
whispers his nickname for me from back in the day and hearing it fall from his
lips is like a straight shot of lust right between my legs.
I
love Collin! This is a guy who has loved
Finnley since he was 15 years old. He
doesn't play games but he does recognize an opportunity when he sees one and
makes his play. This guy is
awesome. He's a true hero (he's a
fireman) and he believes in encouraging a woman to follow her dreams. He's kind and he's sexy as hell. He's amazing!
To
me, this book rocks for many reasons.
First, you never forget your first love and these two found one another
again. Two, Finnley's marriage wasn't
healthy and her husband was a waste of air.
In contrast, Collin wants her to be happy and healthy but also recognizes
her intelligence and her abilities and her talents and encourages her to follow
her dreams (her husband didn't exactly do this). It was lovely to see two people find each
other again after seventeen years apart and it made my heart do the happy
dance!
The
chemistry between these two is off the charts.
Tara Sivec can really write a good sex scene and there are several
scorching scenes in this book.
"Do
you want me to fuck you against this wall, Finnley?" he whispers, running
his hand back up my thigh until he's clutching my bare ass. I'm at a loss for words when he speaks,
pushing the head of his cock into me and holding still. I try to push myself forward and bring him inside
my body, but he holds himself away from me, teasing me with a swirl of his hips
while he denies me the pleasure of his compete penetration..."Tell me what
you want, Finnley. Say it. I want to hear you say it."..."Fuck
me, Collin, Jesus, just fuck me," I
whisper harshly. He lets out a guttural
groan and slams into me with one hard thrust, filling me so completely that I
shout in pleasure, tossing my head back.
Ultimately,
this is just a great love story. It has
everything; it has true love, great sex, suspense (I thought I would crawl out
of my skin at one point), an amazing BFF, a villain, and tension...a lot of
tension. It hit all the high points and
was a story woven with flair. I loved
it! I can hardly wait to dig into Ignite
now (which is Phina's story).
