This started out so great and then the plot just disappeared. The relationship felt like it moved at warped speed and I felt like we were missing some key character development moments. I liked the outline but didn't love the execution of the story itself. It was okay.
I'm amazed after every book of Pam's that I read. I keep thinking that nothing will live up to the greatness of the previous one I've read, but she keeps surprising me. I love the originality of her stories and that they aren't predictable. Every time you think you have it figured out, she goes down a completely different path that wasn't even a thought in your mind. Once again, this author has gutted me at the same time as thoroughly entertaining me. There is never a dull moment with a Pam Godwin story. I definitely recommend this book.
I really liked although I hated when Roy basically raped her and hurt her. I am glad he died he deserved what he got and even better he killed himself thinking she was dead and that he would be the 1st to see/be with her in death. Ha haa Charlee sure fooled him! I lovedCharlee and Jay they were great for each other they healed one another and were definitely strong especially Charlee. I also loved Jay's band mates Laz, Rio, and Wil as well as Nathan and Tony there body guards.
I'm so glad this wasn't a cliffhanger. I miss reading standalones. This was such an emotion packed book. Both Jay and Charlee are so scarred. Beautifully so, and the author did such a great job of making us feel them and their struggle.
"You can't control love. It's like creating music. Love is like a series of improbable, lonely notes landing together in meaningful chaos. Where every channel carries a rhythm that conveys an expression of emotion. It doesn't feel flat or faked or hollow. It's not exaggerated with overtones. The complexity my feel organized, but the creation is never controlled."
" you have the heart one expects to see at the center of a fire, bending and twisting like steel, never breaking. If something happens to mine, yours would be stubborn enough to beat for both of us."

Dark, twisted, difficult... and told in the way only Pam Godwin can.
Beneath the Burn is full of dark themes and events, the characters experience tr@uma, violence, and danger unlike any dark romance I've ever read. And while yes, there's a HEA, it's hard fought and hard won. Buckle up, and please check TW on the author's website if needed.
The plot of this book is absolutely wild. Full of unexpected moments, twists and turns and heart-stopping emotion. You may think you can expect what's about to happen, you may have an idea of how something will unfold, and you'll swiftly find out you're incorrect. I love that Pam kept me guessing with each turn of the page.
The romantic and physical connection of the main characters is a push/pull, one that will make your heart ache for what each of them has endured while you blush with what they desire. While you overheat for how they collide. There's no shortage of scars (emotional and physical), and healing comes with great effort and unimaginable cost, but I really enjoyed their dynamic. They're hurt and flawed, often very much so, but willing to do whatever it takes for one another.
Writing style, in true Pam Godwin fashion, is captivating, and made me shed a tear or two before the end.
I become a bigger and bigger Pam Fan with each of her books that I read, and while I do recommend picking this up if you're a dark romance reader like me, just know that you're in for some pain before the pleasure.
Thank you SO MUCH to Pam Godwin for a digital copy of Beneath the Burn and the opportunity to leave an honest, voluntary review!
All thoughts and opinions are my own, and I swiftly purchased a signed copy from her shop when I was like halfway through because I knew it needed to join my collection. 🤍
