In Flames set me on fire. If you are looking for a romance that is bound to take the hard road, that will move you in so many ways, that will light you up with sexual tension and heat, then I definitely recommend this book.Gracelyn is a widowed mother of two kids. She's still close to her in laws, especially her brother in law, Matt. Even aside from the romance that comes up, I found this to be remarkable and very attractive. So often you hear about families falling apart, and this family stuck together, even after losing a member. But then you have Matt, who goes above and beyond. He helps Gracelyn constantly. Is it survivor's guilt? Is it romantic attraction? Is he just a nice guy? Yep. All of it. Yep.I really loved the dynamic between Gracey and Matt. Sure, the attraction they share is a bit taboo - but it feels real and sincere. It feels like it should be there. The two of them secretly harboring feelings for each other, and then acknowledging them to each other - it brought them each back to life. For that alone, I loved it. There were some times that I wanted to yell at Matt, as he was the one who drug his feet more than Gracie. However, it's not because he didn't care - he just cared too much.Jessica Jayne wrote this story with a lot of heart. It's not just an erotic romance. She has a smooth flow to the story, and its very easy to find yourself caring for the people in it. Dealing with the death of Chad has been unbearably hard on everyone. When Gracey and Matt start to heat things up it is emotional and dramatic. I just kept thinking that the guilt must be overwhelming, but at the same time - what about your own heart? If you have a chance to be happy in your life, you have to grab it. The heart just wants what it wants, ya know?The rest of the characters in the story are a trip. I mean, you have Cheryl, who is Matt's ex-wife. The woman is a she-dog  wench from Hell. Yeah - there is no way I liked her at all. But then to balance out that evil rotten side, you have his sister, Sarah, who is sweet and intuitive, and generous. She really was a ray of sunshine and she brought a great shot of joy into the story. The kids all play minimal parts, but then you have Matt's parents. One of them has a difficult time with some things that come up in regard to Matt and Gracey, and you don't know if your heart is breaking or healing. Or can it do both at the same time?Her lips parted and his tongue swept into her mouth. She didn't even attempt to stifle the groan that bubbled up her chest. Her legs separated, and Matt took this as an invitation. He moved his knee between her legs and pressed his erection against her hop."I can't seem to get enough of you, " he said breathless. He kissed over her jaw and down the side of her neck. "and running around in nothing but one of my undershirts is a sure-fire way to get yourself f*****, Gracey. You. Are. So. Damn. Sexy." He gripped both her wrists in one of his hands and held her hands above her head, while his other hand snaked up her thigh and under her shirt until it found her slick p*****.But hey, this is also an erotic romance. And that means sex. And I'm just going to say it. It's hot. These two get it on, and when they do it is ON. I loved it. 'Nuff said.This story is going to really appeal to a wide audience. It's dramatic and heated. The romance is to die for. It's got a firefighter in it - and I know some of you just love that. It's a five star read for me. I loved it to pieces.
