SUMMER'S BOOK BLOGLauren Blakely’s ‘Burn for Me’ is… excuse the pun… HOT! And is a must read for anyone who loves the wonderfulness that is Lauren Blakey.Jamie is a girl who likes the finer things of life, the girl things of life. She love poetry, dogs, her family and the idea of being a serious relationship with a man who not only likes everything she does but is committed to her, someone she could see having a future with. She doesn’t swear and she likes her sex neat and clean…or so she thought. After her sister goes through a rough divorce from a cheating husband Jamie puts up walls to guard herself from it ever happening to her. But what she doesn’t expect is for the one man she should want to be the only man she can think about.Smith Grayson is a volunteer fireman who just so happens to own his own construction company, be one of Jamie’s friends and be working on the bar that Jamie works at. He is everything every woman could ever want, which is dangerous and a no go for Jamie. If every woman could want him then why would he just want her?After asking Jamie to dance in the back of the bar during a kickoff party Jamie finds herself unable to turn Smith down. He is everything she doesn’t want in a relationship but she can’t help her mind from wondering. And one night with him should be enough… right?But his crudeness, his dirty talking, and his rough hands on her body is all she can find herself thinking about. However a serious relationship isn’t in the cards. Smith is a love em’ and leave em’ type. Not really caring too much for committed relationships he opts out at the first chance he can take.  So Afraid to ruin their friendship, Jamie comes up with the idea to have a one week no strings attached fling… that should get him out of her prestigious panties.Unless Smith has other ideas…This story was insanely amazing! I fell for Smith instantly. The story while being told in a third person narrative point of view does an amazing job at getting in both of their heads so you see what they go through, how they evolve, and exactly what they are thinking at all times. I loved it even though there were a few moments I wanted to scream at my kindle. This is a novella that feels like so much more! Having an amazing HEA this book leaves you feeling fulfilled and satisfied by the end.Lauren does an incredible job at introducing the characters and getting you to not only like the them but making you feel for them right from the start and oh my gosh can she write some HOT sex. Never to be one to disappoint Lauren is true to form with the way she can write it. This book will ignite your bodies and leaving you panting long after it’s done.
