I’ll be honest and say that I wasn’t really sure what else of Hunter and Autumn’s story needed to be told after we got to get a look inside Hunter’s head. I was afraid that this installment was going to just drag out their story and throw in drama that was completely unnecessary. However, I’ll also be the first to admit that I ended up being totally impressed with what Clarissa brought out in Flame and I really enjoyed it!There definitely was not a ton of action or drama in this book, but it actually completely worked for the story line. We got to see both Autumn and Hunters’ points of view of how the couple came together in the first two books. In Flame, it was all about them now learning about themselves as individuals, as well as a couple. There were issues that arose that made them look at themselves and figure out their expectations and then working through those issues. It was about them delving deeper into the other as a person, not just someone they were dating. I greatly admired the dedication and persistence they both had in their relationship.I also really loved the ending. I thought the way it happened felt very natural and not rushed or overly dramatic. I found myself falling in love with both Hunter and Autumn and how much they grew between their individual stories and the progression of Flame. Now that their story received it’s happily ever after, I really hope Clarissa does a book for Jessie now because I would absolutely LOVE to know more about him!
