Unless you’ve lived through it no one ever knows how they will react if they were to see their first love and first heartbreak return into their lives. I know we’d all like to think we could handle it, be mature, forget the past and that’s exactly what the heroine in Sarah Morgan’s Burned tries to do but instead she finds herself in a bad situation one her ex helps her get out of right before he swoops in and throws her life upside down once again.I’m a sucker for lover’s reunited stories and this is a very good one. Rosie is one of those heroines I fell immediately in love with because she refuses to change who she is for a man. She’s tough, she loves her job, has great friends, and a sister who loves her. The one thing that has escaped her is a man who treats her well, isn’t threatened by her strength, and who loves her the way she is. Then Hunter Black walks back in her life stirring up the hurt from the past and making her heart and body react like no other man since he left her years ago. Thing is it’s easy to see that Hunter is equally affected by their intense chemistry and appreciates all aspects of Rosie which makes me love him all the more.It doesn’t take this couple long to jump back in to a physical relationship one that Rosie insists only be physical because her heart can’t take another pounding. Together they are combustible and their intimate scenes are scorching hot.Although this is a novella, the characters are well developed and their relationship doesn’t play out so easily that it’s unbelievable. I felt this author did a great job of balancing this story; there was just enough strife to make it interesting, some fantastic sexy times, and the relationship had a foundation from the past in which to build upon. Sarah Morgan is a new to me author but after reading Burned, I’ll be checking out her other offerings soon.Review copy provided for an honest review.
