***Sizzling hot romance with scorching sexual tension! Cynthia Eden is on fire!
Burn for Me takes
place in a world where supernaturals have recently “come out” to the rest of
the world, mainly in part to the ever helpful vampires. Like many other paranormal authors, Cynthia
Eden has created a world where all is not
as it seems. Enter the leading the lady,
Eve Bradley.
Eve Bradley, a young journalist, has spent the last six
months undercover as a doctor in a government sanctioned program studying
“volunteer” supernaturals. BFM begins
when Eve is finally granted access to one of the facility’s most dangerous
volunteers, Subject Thirteen. Instantly,
she knows things don’t add up when she spies him chained half naked to a
wall.
Cain O’Conner, aka Subject Thirteen, knows his volatile
nature can be deadly, but from the moment he lays eyes on Eve he finds himself
fighting to be near her. Having been
betrayed by everyone he’s ever loved, trust is not a luxury he can afford. So when the beautiful, candy scented spitfire
tries to free him he finds himself pulled in by her naïve charm.
I love the way Eden wrote Eve’s character! She’s a strong woman who knows what she wants
and isn’t afraid to go after it. So when
Cain repeatedly pushes her away for her own safety, she has no problem standing
up to him and telling him to “suck it up “.
That being said, I did get annoyed with how she insisted the all their
problems could be solved by simply getting her story of the mistreatment of
supes in print. It was a character flaw
for her that I thought went against her personality. In the rest of the book she’s the counter
weight to Cain’s literally fiery nature, yet it takes a couple of people to die
and a close friend to be tortured before she realizes that it’s going to take
more than a breaking story to solve anything.
Cain was spot on H-O-T!
I’ll have to say if you’re into the kick ass, never take names kind of
guy you’ll love him. He was definitely
Alpha male material and once he discovered that Eve could handle his fire in
the bedroom…the kiddie gloves came off!
I have to the sex scenes were spicy, but not too over the top. The sexual tension was written well, but the
real character development didn’t occur until later in the book, especially for
the secondary characters. Overall, I
enjoyed BFM and found myself hooked enough to read the rest of the series.
