I was gifted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.I have to admit I was blown away by this book. This is technically the 4th book in the Fierce series (Fight 0.5, Fierce #1, Fury 1.5). I was convinced before reading Flame that there was no way Clarissa Wild could make me love Hunter Bane more than I already did. Well.... I was wrong.Flame basically takes over where Fierce and Fury left off. Autumn (Leafy) and Hunter are still working on their relationship. There are some bumps in the road because of how inexperienced Autumn is. Sometimes Hunter just overwhelms her with the things he does to her and makes her feel."If you want my love, you'll get it completely. The full, uncensored, crude, f*ing x-rated version. When I love someone I do it with all my being, not just my heart. When you're with me your soul, your body, and your mind are all mine. I don't do just one thing. I do it all. Hard."How can you not love that?When Hunter's brother Jessie is released from prison things get a little more complicated. Because Jessie can't hold down a job Hunter feels selfish about continuing to go to college when he knows that it's just not for him. Decisions are made that not everyone is happy with. Secrets are kept that could mean the destruction of their relationship.Add in Autumn's parents and you have drama coming in all stages. Her father wants Autumn to stay away from Hunter. He believes that he isn't good enough for her and refuses to hear anything that Autumn has to say about it.I was really impressed with Clarissa Wild's use of the secondary characters in this one. I think they all added so much more depth and feeling to the story with how they helped Hunter and Autumn throughout the book. Jessie was such a great addition and I loved seeing Jaret and Evie find a place in both their lives.Of course I don't need to mention again how much I loved Hunter. Even with all his faults I think he showed over and over again just how much he truly loved Autumn. Even though he stumbled along the way he was determined to never let her go. He fought for her in every conceivable way.I liked how Autumn didn't judge Hunter about where he lived or his past. Even though it was hard for her, she accepted him for who and what he was. She didn't want to change Hunter. Just love him for the man he was and could be.I LOVED how we got a glimpse of them later on as a couple and how their lives went on.I'm really sad to see this one end!
