I wasn't sure Tessa Teevan could top Knox Wellington (Incinerate #2) but I think she did!  I fell in love with Kale Montgomery instantly!  Inflame had me smiling the entire time I was reading the book and I loved getting to know Lucy and Kale while getting to revisit Knox too.Inflame isn't your typical "friends with benefits" story, Tessa Teevan took two people who were only wanting something fun and breathed emotion, laughter and heart-sighing moments into it, making it fresh and addicting!  I typically don't like stories that have some of the plot elements that Inflame had, but it worked well in this story line and was just what Lucy and Kale needed to shake them out of their comfort zones.  I am not going to spoil plot points, some of the magic in Tessa Teevan's writing is she always gives you the unexpected right when you weren't expecting it but crave it the most.Inflame gave me goosebumps, had me laughing out loud, had my heart in my throat (a few times) and got me leaking a few tears.  Tessa Teevan writes a great story that not only gets you engaged and involved in the characters but has you so wrapped up you feel like you are reading about close friends.  Each of these Explosive books can be read as stand alone books, I read Incinerate first, then Inflame (poor Jace, I should go read his story too) and never once did I feel like I was missing anything vital to the current story.  However, having said that, it is nice to know the key players in the series and getting to re-visit them again in each book (maybe I still am crushing on Knox a wee bit).Tessa Teevan won me over with Incinerate, but I think Inflame showed me that she can not only write great characters, but also tell a beautiful, witty and emotion tugging story that will leave your heart happy when you finish.  I can't wait to see what Tessa does next (a Wellington brother spin off is coming soon) and I REALLY hope we get to read Xavier's story and catch up on all the beloved characters from the Explosive series  (I can't let go of Kale and his corny jokes and loving protectiveness).If you are looking for a book that is easy to fall into and get wrapped up in for an afternoon I HIGHLY recommend Inflame.  This book will have you laughing (or snorting), needing a fan and sighing over how wonderful Lucy and Kale fit together all in the first few chapters.
