Review: Best in the Series so Far - one heck of a ride

What a ride! Burn definitely steps up the action and the WTF moments, and I loved every complicated minute of it. The story begins right where book 2 ended. Seth and Sloane are at Julio’s villa playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse with him while looking for Sloane’s sister. As the game continues, Sloane, especially, finds it difficult to keep up their faade, but even when she begins to falter, it almost seems like she channels Zeth’s attitude and sends both Julio and Zeth reeling with her take charge, no bulls*** perspective. But Zeth and Sloane as well as readers know it’s only a matter of time before their ruse gets exposed, and they end up in even more danger than they already are.This is my favorite part of the Blood and Roses series so far because it has the perfect blend of action, steam, and personal growth. Sloane definitely comes into her own in this text. She’s never truly believed that she would find her sister, but now that it actually seems to be happening, she knows she needs to stay strong and do all that she can to ensure they leave this villa unharmed.  She definitely shows what she’s made of while risking her life, and her actions and attitude do not go unnoticed by Zeth. Sloane also sees a different side of Zeth; it’s hard for her to wrap her mind around the fact that Zeth is both dangerous and caring at the same time. She’s seen his dark side on many occasions, but it’s never more blatantly in her face than with what goes down at the villa, and even though it all scares the hell out of her, she can’t help but also see another side of Zeth; the part that would never hurt her – the part that’s doing everything in his power to help save her sister. I love that amongst all of the chaos, Seth and Sloane actually become closer, and they both realize that perhaps they are what each other needs to survive in this crazy a** world where anything can happen.Burn is an action packed suspense filled ride that, once again, leaves readers with everything up in the air at the end, but I definitely think the cliff hanger is not as bad as the previous books. The sex scenes between Zeth and Sloane are once again scorching, and readers are given a new perspective of Sloane both in and out of the bedroom. This series just keeps getting better and better, and I can’t wait to see how all of it plays out in book 4 – Rebel!A complimentary copy was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.5 poison apples (The Fairest of All Book Reviews)
