Incinerate is the 2nd book in the Explosive Series and centers around Knox and Charlotte.  Recovering from an injury sustained during a tour in Afghanistan, Knox Wellington is back home and rehabilitating.  Charlotte “Charlie” Davenport is still getting over a broken heart.  Having found her ex in a compromising position, Charlie is moving on with her life and taking care of herself.  Both devastated from being betrayed, Knox and Charlie have a hard time trusting, but have an even harder time ignoring their strong connection and pull to one another.We first met Knox in Ignite, the first book in the series.  Friends with Jace McAllister, he is still the gruff, grumpy soldier in Incinerate.  Unable to forget the utter betrayal he endured years prior, Knox is a playboy.  A no strings, no relationships, no love kind of guy.  He tells is how it is and doesn’t care whose feelings he hurts.  His grumpiness is endearing and at times funny.  He has this bad boy brooding quality about him.  I can envision him pouting, like a big kid.Charlie is a military kid.  Her dad is a surgeon in the Army.  Having heard the stories of what he has seen, Charlie has an idea about the pain and suffering many of the soldiers endure, but could never understand the true physical, mental and emotional pain that these men and women go through.  She volunteers her time, helping injured soldiers rehabilitate.  A chance meeting and a Charlie’s newest volunteer case bring Knox and Charlie together.  Both stubborn and hard-headed these two fight each other and the attraction slowly pulling them together.I love Tessa’s writing in both Ignite and Incinerate.  Her characters are always so quick witted and I always laugh at some of the things that she writes (or the characters say) depending on how you look at it.  Buffalo Bill and Katniss come to mind, and I did in fact laugh out loud at both parts.  Incinerate is also so well developed.  Detailed and not rushed, you can see the time and thought put into the story, which made is that much more enjoyable.Next is Kale’s story.  With just the small glimpse we get of him in Incinerate, I can’t even imagine the greatness that will come from his book!*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
