****ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review****You MUST read 'Spark' before you read this sequel.Wow, what a way to continue and conclude Velaney and Eric's story!I loved having Eric's POV in this book, he is truly a beautiful man. We got more of an insight into his past and the events that lead him to become the man he is today. Eric is ALWAYS there for Velaney even when she pushes him away which does happen again in Burn. He is supportive, loving and very protective of Velaney which causes some stress in the relationship with decisions she makes. I honestly think Eric is Velaney's perfect match and the love he feels for her is incredibly deep and strong....."I love you so f****** much that it actually pains me. The love I feel for you is so damn real, so damn strong - it burns".Velaney has been through so much in her life and struggles to let anyone in completely. She grows so much through the course of this book while dealing with more horrific events and secrets that will not be left in the past. She makes decisions in this story that Eric does not agree with and when things steam roll out of control because of these decisions, she copes the best way she knows how.... by shutting everyone out. It's wonderful to watch how she finally confronts her issues, believes in herself and gains the happiness and love she deserves.There are so many twists, surprises and edge of your seat moments in this book that it makes it extremely difficult to put down. My emotions went on a roller coaster ride were I felt every single up, down, twist, turn, stomach dropping, heart pounding second of the ride and I have to tell you I LOVED EVERY SINGLE BIT!!!!I fell even more in love with these characters than I already was and I truly believe that everything was wrapped up perfectly, dealt with appropriately and I couldn't be happy with they way things ended. Brooke has done an amazing job at ensuring that the story was well paced, engaging and contained characters that captured the readers hearts.I can't wait for Carissa's book, she is a great secondary character, an amazing friend and she definitely needs her story to be told.This series is a MUST read and I guarantee you will not be disappointed!I highly recommend that you get to know and fall in love with Velaney and Eric.
