Knox and Charlie! Charlie and Knox! #Choxlie! These two characters have moved out the bad furniture in my heart, and have replaced it with brand new shiny furniture! The couches and chairs might be in a fight with the couch, or window furnishings but ultimately they all want to be in the same household together! I realize that my analogies might be crazy, but I could honestly give a damn. This is how I equate books in reference to my actual life. So now that I’ve talked in complete circles, I want you all to know how deeply I loved this book that is INCINERATE. When Tessa started writing IGNITE, I knew she had something special on her hands. And when I read Incinerate, she blew my mind with her growth as an Author. This girl kills it! And I’m so excited to see an amazing Indie Author excel in the way she has. So first things first…Knox Wellington is a Soldier, He fought for freedom alongside his brothers. Alongside those same brothers that perished at his feet, in front of his eyes, and their memories ingrained in his soul. He came home tortured and broken. What he didn’t realize was the overabundance of love and support he would have from those who love him. Knox has a great sense of himself, he’s just afraid to admit that he needs help. His pride overrides his need for rehabilitation, and hope.Then he meets Charlie Davenport. He’s seen her before, the beautiful brown eyed goddess that he treated like crap at a bar, slightly prior to meeting her. So when Charlie shows up at his home to rehabilitate this wounded soldier, he’s less than amused to meet her acquaintance. He’s in shock that this vixen will bare the hands to heal him! He turns adolescent almost! Its super endearing by the way! From the minute these two realize that they have to inhabit each other’s company, IT’S ON!!! The sexual chemistry between #Choxlie flies through the roof! Turn the page, turn the page, and TURN IT!!!! I wasn’t able to stop!Charlie is probably one of my favorite book girlfriends EVER by the way! She’s awesome. She doesn’t back down, she gives Knox back EVERY bit of crap that he gives her. And it makes for some super hot chemistry. You can tell that she wants Knox, that she NEEDS Knox, but she’s so proud and stubborn that she’s not willing to give up her wall of China any day soon… Charlie has one thing in her life that could completely crumble her to pieces, one man who owns her heart and soul. This man is Wade. Her Father. No man can rival Wade, He is the Dad that we all want and wish for. And when Knox starts to take hold of Charlie’s heart, Wade is the only obstacle. Or is he? HA!The secondary characters in this story will grab your heart as well! Knox has a set of brothers that can either rival your dream man or throttle your senses! Good and, uhhhmmmm bad? I guess you’ll have to wait and see, and read ;-)This beautiful story moves along as so… Strong alpha male wants the strong independent female who is apprehensive to all of his “charms”. I won’t destroy the ending for you, but I will implore you to read this book. It’s sweet, demandingly sexy, and utterly irresistible! Knox will melt your heart with his words, and Charlie will make you strive to be a better woman. You honestly can’t read a better love story than this. I hate to use the word “melty” LOL. But it happened! Shoot me.
