Rating - 3.5 Deliciously Wicked StarsI was honored to be chosen to receive a copy of Heather Leigh’s debut novel - Burning Desire, and to have the opportunity to share an honest review.  Burning Desire is the first book in the Condemned Angels MC series, and boy let me tell you - it is a raw, dirty, dangerous MC story.  As a new author, Heather certainly has brought her A game, and she most definitely turned up the heat with the deliciously sexy male lead - Chase.We first meet Roxy and Chase when Roxy is just a teenager - they are the cookie cutter of star-crossed lovers, both from rival MC’s and forbidden to ever be more than just friends.  This proves forever difficult, as Chase is best friends with Roxy’s older brother Jeremy. Right away, the undeniable attraction between Roxy and Chase leaps off the page to us the reader...I mean hey - after that visual of Chase, who wouldnt want to be pressed up behind him on his bike ;)This book is filled with unexpected turns and several unforeseen twists of fate that have our two star-crossed lovers separated from each other for 4 years.  What I loved about this book was how we moved through time quickly at the beginning - it helped set the stage for the bond between Roxy and Chase, and to establish the rivalry between the two MC’s.  When they finally reunite 4 years later - Roxy is off the market (a fact that brings out the extremely sexy, territorial alpha in Chase), and Chase is now the VP of his MC.  He had changed and hardened over the years, but his mind had never strayed far from thoughts of Roxy.Heather created a strong, sassy, smart mouthed female lead in Roxy - she knows she was cheated out of a real shot at love all those years ago with Chase.  When he unexpectedly pops back up into her life, taken or not - they cannot deny the sexual energy between them.  Now I know what you must be thinking - taken and still trying to get in another guy’s pants?  You’ll have to pick yourself up a copy of the book so that you can learn a lil more about Roxy’s “bf” Jake.There are several secondary characters that stole a lot of the spotlight throughout the book.  I love when authors write characters that are relatable - Nicole and Jeremy were exactly that.  As Roxy’s best friend and older brother, they played significant roles in not only Chase and Roxy’s story - but there was a definite attraction between the two of them as well.  Jeremy being male, takes his time coming around to that realization….and when he does - we have already been introduced to Hunter - who totally stole the show for me.  Love him, and hope to see more of his sexy self in future books.  As for their little love triangle...who will win Nicoles heart??Heather did an amazing job of keeping me guessing until the very end of this book.  Being an MC story - it definitely is filled with suspense, drama and a lot of hot, deliciously steamy scenes.  Heres a teaser from a naughty scene with Chase and Roxy that my lady parts scream - and oh yes, I mean that in a good way ;)“Jealous much?”“Nah, Roxy.  How can I when I know youve already been mine since the beginning?”  My heart fluttered.He loosened the strings, and I stretched and pulled the bustier up over my head, releasing my breasts to him.  My hair fell down around us.  The hand that he had been massaging me with reached out and grabbed the tips of my hair and tugged down, making my head fall back as a gasp fell from my lips.Chase pulled my hips into his, causing me to release his belt buckle and to hang onto his biceps.  I felt him grow hard through his jeans and the thin material of my booty shorts.  I felt my cheeks flush knowing how wet and ready I was for him.Now to talk about Chase.  My oh my Chase...he had me from the very first chapter when he showed his true nature, and his protectiveness over Roxy.  I love that in my alpha male - and Heather did not disappoint me!  He was that right combo of tough and sweet, ruthless and loving.  He's undeniably the type of man I want waiting for me in bed and out ;)As for our two star-crossed lovers?  What is their fate in this book?  Do the stars align for their HEA...or will the odds be stacked against them?  Well you know what to do to find out….I should warn you though - be prepared for a hair-pulling, feet stomping cliffie!  All I can say is, Heather book #2 better be on its way...there will def be some Chase fans left drooling.xo Cassia
