4 Oh My Remy StarsLewis is a sneaky author, just when I thought I wouldn’t like something, bam, I love it. To my surprise I really enjoyed Burn. Yes, there was flashbacks, yes there was a love triangle and yes the main characters were separated, but on top of all of that, I fell in love with Remy.There will be a minor spoiler from book 1, Ignite.Burn picks up right where Ignite left off. Sara is kidnapped by Remy because Jaxon killed Remy’s brother. Jaxon does everything he can to get Sara back and in the meantime Sara has no one but Remy to turn to.The story line is crazy and it should drive me crazy but it didn’t. I really really really liked Remy and it’s hard for me to switch characters, but I did. Don’t get me wrong, I love Jaxon, his undying love for Sara is epic and their crazy relationship goes down in the works, but there’s something about Remy that just makes me FEEL FOR HIM.Remy was slightly introduced in Ignite as the twenty-something guy who saw 14 year old Sara sitting on the swing sets. We never saw him again until now. I would describe as Burn as a book of secrets being revealed. A lot of questions are answered.What happened when Jaxon was in prison?Who is Remy and how is he so involved with Sara?Who are the Jackals and how are they related to Sara?I usually don’t like flashbacks, but the little scenes I got from Jaxon’s time in prison were the best to read. It really got you in the mind set of what he did and what he went through. To my surprise Sara didn’t frustrate me and to my surprise I wasn’t upset with the Sara and Jaxon separation. I guess I understood where Sara was going through, Lewis really justified her actions and so I was going through the emotions through her kidnappings (also I have a thing for kidnappings in books).Plus there were plenty of flashback scenes from Jaxon and Sara’s past to keep me interested. I actually liked those too. It showed me many layers of their relationship, the good bad and really ugly. I’m not a huge fan of the motorcycle theme, rivals verse rivals kind of book, but I really dig Burn.Jaxon is part of the Scorpions and his boss is telling Jaxon to let Sara go. Jaxon knows for Sara’s sake, he needs to. Remy is part of the Jackals and hates Jaxon with a passion because he cares for Sara. Remy cares for Sara deeply to a point, you just want Sara to kind of switch sides. It’s a hard plot to handle in the sense, you love both guys and whoever Sara picks, you are okay with.I love the series and can’t wait for the next book.
