SUMMER'S BOOK BLOGFlame is book two in the Fierce series by Clarissa Wild, it is not a stand alone novel. The reader needs to read either Fierce or Fury or both to understand Flame. This novel is the continuation of Autumn and Hunter's relationship. The two total opposites grow closer and more in love with every passing day but are they good for each other? Hunter has had a very troubled life and is struggling through school, after his brother is released from jail Hunter is forced to choose between going to school or getting a job. Hunter is a protector by nature and he wants to help his brother and make a better life for him and Autumn. Unfortunately Hunter has kept many things a secret for Autumn and they begin to come out, straining their relationship. Autumn is struggling with her schoolwork due to her relationship and it is also causing issues with her family. Will their love be enough to face all these challenges or are they too different to make things work?Autumn and Hunter are much more sexually active in this novel and their love is incredibly passionate and adds quite a bit of heat to the story! Hunter is a dominant alpha male and this causes some issues with shy, reserved Autumn. Frankly both of the characters were really getting on my nerves at the start of this novel, their actions and fights made me want to knock some sense into both of them but they are college freshman neither of whom ever had a relationship before. I feel as though the author really portrayed their immaturity perfectly, they didn't act older or more mature then they should have and I ended up loving that! I fell in love with Hunter in Flame, the reader learns more of his past and his insecurities and it makes him a much more relate-able character and allows the reader to really connect with him on a deeper level. He also says and does some things that make him super endearing,I wanted to hug him several times! We also learned things about Autumn that I didn't see coming and it showed how strong she is because of all the terrible things she had to deal with in her life. Their relationship is complicated, they are both still keeping secrets and it causes some major drama in this novel. There are a few plot twists that will keep the reader completely captivated and engrossed in the story. The author uses alternating point of view in Flame which keeps the reader connected with each character and what they are going through. It is especially useful in this novel since Autumn and Hunter face many challenges, the reader gets to have both of their perspectives. I'm not sure if there is going to be another book in this series because the ending of this book was perfect, Hunter and Autumn end up happy and the story wraps up beautifully. I had a few tears in my eyes at the end of the book, I had fallen in love with their relationship and was so happy with how things turned out.
