I really appreciate an author’s ability to consistently create solid reads that anyone and everyone will enjoy. Tessa Teevan always delivers extremely steamy men who fiercely love their women. The leading ladies do not get overshadowed by their powerful men though! This author makes her female readers proud by producing strong heroines that we can all relate to. Her storylines continue to be interesting and exciting, which can be a challenge when using characters introduced in previous books. I love the complex web she spins with the Inflame Series and I am thankful for the updates on past characters that I miss terribly.I think this author did a fantastic job with the layout of this novel. Inflame starts with the present and then pulls you back into the past… at their beginning. I feel this set up brings readers maximum enjoyment piecing the story together this way. Readers get to learn of the big life changing moment right away and then rewind back to how it all started. We get to experience how Lucy and Kale first found each other, which is a really wonderful tale.Kale Montgomery is the latest addition to Tessa Teevan's sexy military men and he definitely deserves the title. Kale is an ultimate-alpha that will leave you drooling and desperate for more of his panty-incinerating words. Don't worry because he always leaves you completely satisfied. Not only is he gorgeous, but Kale is also really funny! I could read his entertaining dialogue all night long. Kale is all for physical flings but don’t count on him giving his heart away. This soldier is not one for long-term love but he will be yours temporarily.Lucy Dawson is done trying to accomplish a ‘no-strings-attached’ type of relationship. She is done with men period after her most decent dating disaster. I think we can all relate to a time in our lives when we felt the same way. I totally felt her pain! Lucy wasn’t planning on a tall and handsome soldier to stroll into her second grade classroom almost immediately after she set her new plan into motion. He is worth changing the rules for though.Both Kale and Lucy have hidden reasons for keeping their hearts guarded. These secrets are a leading factor that drives the story. They slowly come to rely on each other and realize they couldn’t help falling. Maybe it will be different this time around, especially with the unexpected surprises. What they share is special and this is proven by how easily the past is forgotten when they are with one another. Their connection is effortless but reality is not so simple. Hopefully history doesn’t repeat itself…Once again this talented author proves how well she can create a glorious storyline with realistic and dynamic characters that you'll fall desperately in love with. It isn't all just passion and lust, but you get plenty of it! The intriguing twists and turns add an exciting thrill. Tough decisions are made, bonds are tested, and boundaries are pushed. As always, I was caught up in an outstanding trance from beginning to end that I will never get sick of experiencing. Enjoy!
