When Niall
Chandler’s sexy neighbor saves her from the unwanted attentions of a date who
won’t take no for an answer, she is grateful to him. But that’s not the reason
she accompanies Vic Savian to his apartment after the rescue. No, that has
everything to do with how attracted she is to him, a feeling she never expected
to experience for any man again.
Getting involved with Niall breaks all of Vic’s rules concerning women and
relationships, but he can’t seem to help himself where she is concerned. Before
he knows it, he is in way too deep – and liking it. But will he still feel that
way after he learns Niall’s secrets?
After reading WICKED BURN by Beth Kery, I have a new favorite
author! I knew the moment I first read the plot description that I had to have
this book, and so when Wild on Books received a copy for review, I was beyond
excited. Having now read the story, I can honestly say it surpassed my
expectations.
Ms. Kery has crafted a romance that is sexy, sweet, and very moving.
WICKED BURN is the kind of story that brings tears of joy in one chapter
and tears of sadness in the next – a definite emotional roller coaster!
The hero and heroine of the story are both damaged people who, because of their
past experiences, shy away from love and romance. Neither expects to find love,
and neither is looking for it, but when they come together, the bond is
undeniable.
Vic is the kind of hero that makes my heart beat faster. He is dominant,
driven, sexy, and talented. Not only that, but when the chips are down, this
guy shows he loves from the very depths of his soul. Sure, he makes some
mistakes along the way, but Vic more than makes up for those mistakes by the end
of the book. I know I would have forgiven this man almost anything when he
turned the charm on, and so it was no surprise to me when Niall did so.
Niall is just a beautiful character. She is sweet, sensitive, caring, and
easily the kind of woman that could break through Vic’s hard exterior to find
the loving man inside. Watching as she learns to deal with her traumatic past
and the ongoing issues stemming from it is inspiring.
With passionate love scenes, poignant romance, and a touching story,
WICKED BURN is the kind of book that I will read again and again – it
will certainly have a permanent place in my personal library.
