There are many people who overcome adversities and face their fears.Many people who think their unworthy of the one they're in love with.I can only hope that they find the one thing that helps them overcome it all -Just as Hunter Bane and Autumn/Leafy have!!5 FLAME-ing ***** from this sassy gal!!!!This is a full-length with an HEA.  There is no cheating in this book.When I first read Fierce, I didn't know until I wrote my review that it was a series!  I was more than over the moon.  I just couldn't get enough of Hunter and Leafy and the journey that I just knew they were taking!!  This book was superb!!  And the thought of being able to officially meet Jesse was ominous.  Ominous because he seemed to be the crux of Hunter's problems.  Even though I knew that Hunter adored him as the obvious events in Fierce showed me.  And I was worried for nothing!  Jesse was a great character in this book - taking to Leafy and working hard right out of the box to make things right with Hunter.  And the banter between them was crazy funny - acting like they hadn't been separated for no time at all.  I could tell he wanted to be the 'provider' for Hunter and wanted nothing more but for Hunter to be happy!"Can't you see that I did everything for you?  Because you're my little brother, and I want the best for you."Hunter and Autumn's relationship goes through some turbulence in this one.  The book literally starts almost right where it left off.  And I give mad props to our wonderful author, Clarissa Wild, for making the decision to write this book in dual POV!!  I know that I'm biased - as that's my favorite way to read a good book.  But I think that it brought the book to life even more than the others.  I got a glimpse of what his childhood was like, in sort of flashback moments.  It was awful quite honestly and many times I ended those flashbacks with tears in my eyes or on my cheeks.  I understand now why he is the way he is - why he feels compelled to make the choices he does.  And Hunter makes some tough choices and but he's always got his Leafy and his brother in mind while making them.  I always knew he was an alpha male!  The rawness and his true self being to really bloom.  And I say bloom because he's always been him but a more refined version.  and most would say that a more refined version of someone is a good thing - but not for Hunter!  He's himself with the edges frayed. I am still a huge Hunter fan but I was really appalled at what some of the thoughts that he has in this book.  But when I finished the book - I think he had to have those really low thoughts to get to where he and Leafy and he and Jesse are."I'm not normal.  You knew I wasn't the moment you got into a relationship with me.  I cannot be anything else than what I am, and what I am is a fighter in heart and soul.  This is what I'm good at.  End of story."Autumn was really coming out of her shell - all the way.  She too makes some tough choices.  I felt as if Autumn bloomed to her true self, too.  After marinating on the story for a few days... I came to the conclusion that they needed each other to really become the incredibly stand up characters that they are.  She was feisty and sassy.  As I was reading, I was confused by some of the interactions between her and Hunter.  But then realized that those are the growing pains in their relationship.  Hunter more than adores her and loves her with everything he has and Autumn returns that love ten-fold.  I could tell that she loved him unconditionally and that unconditional love is what helps Hunter realize that he is he's worthy of her.  Autumn goes through so many emotions in this book and I was right along side her.  But the real amazing part of this book is watching Autumn realize that she is independent and can stand on her own two feet - and there's no place she'd rather stand then in Hunter's arms."There's nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for him.  Nothing.  I would go through hell and back for him, even if it means I'd die.  I'd rather not be alive at all than live without him."As I mentioned above - I was dying to know what life brought to Hunter and Leafy and their relationship.  What was the rest of their journey?  I got my answers and let me tell you - It was one amazing trip!!Thank you Clarissa Wild...  for the scorching FLAME!
