BURN FOR ME is the first book in a new Urban Fantasy/
Paranormal Romance series by Ilona Andrews. Being a self-
professed fangirl of this husband and wife writing duo, I
couldn't wait to dive into their newest offering. You know
those feelings you get when you start a new series?
Excitement over something new, hope that the dialogue,
narrative and voice you love so well will shine through
once again and just a little bit of worry that maybe it
won't? I had all those feelings when I opened BURN FOR ME
for the first time.
BURN FOR ME is set in a world where the rich and
influential are magic wielders who have created powerful
dynasties set around the types of magic they hold.Those
dynasties are called Houses and at the very top of the
food
chain in each house there is a Prime. The alpha whose
magic
is the strongest. The hero of BURN FOR ME is Connor "Mad"
Rogan and he is the most alpha of all the Prime. A man who
has off the charts magical talent, but ultimately made the
choice to join the army and use his magical ability in
defense of his country. Mad Rogan is an enigma.
Nevada Baylor runs the her quirky family's private
investigation business. She has a low-level talent of
knowing if a person is being truthful, one which she's
tried to keep under wraps all her life. While in the
middle of an investigation she gets called on by the
corporation who holds the debt to her family business. She
is tasked with bringing in the Prime that is loose in the
city, burning down buildings and setting things on fire.
Even though she wants to, she literally can not say no.
She
has been told under no uncertain terms that if she fails
the debt for the family business will be called in. So now
she has to figure out a way to capture, unharmed, one the
most ruthless and powerful men alive. Enter Mad Rogan who
has his own agenda and reasons why he wants to capture
Adam
Pierce.
Amazing world-building, tight plotting, edge of your seat
action scenes and fully fleshed out characters make BURN
FOR ME
another winner for Ilona Andrews. You will love Nevada
from
the moment she walks onto the page and be charmed by her
family. The chemistry between her and Rogan is a slow
burn
that will have readers aching for the next installment to
see what happens next for this unlikely couple. Each of
those things make this a superb first book in a series,
but
with any Ilona Andrews book, my very favorite thing has to
be the dialogue and the dry humor that permeates the story
and pops up when you least expect it. There are too many
laugh out loud moments to count. Even in the most dire of
circumstances, these characters are full of wit and humor.
There isn't one thing about BURN FOR ME I wish were better
or
would change. It really was that awesome. Readers should
be
forewarned, there is no happily ever after for this
couple,
as their romance is still developing and slowly building,
but it shows promise of being magnificent. I had a moment
of sadness when I read the last word and closed the book .
Then I picked it back up and started all over again.
I
can't recommend BURN FOR ME enough. BURN FOR ME is in a
league all
its own in the paranormal romance genre and is sure to
catapult the Hidden Legacy series into must read
territory.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews
launches a brand-new Hidden Legacy series, in which one
woman must place her trust in a seductive, dangerous man who
sets off an even more dangerous desire . . .
Nevada
Baylor is faced with the most challenging case of her
detective career—a suicide mission to bring in a suspect in
a volatile situation. Nevada isn't sure she has the chops.
Her quarry is a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, who
can set anyone and anything on fire.
Then she's
kidnapped by Connor "Mad" Rogan—a darkly tempting
billionaire with equally devastating powers. Torn between
wanting to run and wanting to surrender to their
overwhelming attraction, Nevada must join forces with Rogan
to stay alive.
Rogan's after the same target, so he
needs Nevada. But she's getting under his skin, making him
care about someone other than himself for a change. And, as
Rogan has learned, love can be as perilous as death,
especially in the magic world.
