* * I HAD BEEN GIVEN AN ADVANCED READERS COPY IN EXCHANGE FOR MY HONEST REVIEW * *

This was my first book by Tori Fox and I was not sure how to feel at the start of it all. It kinda gave off the vibe that I should have read another book before this. But I was wrong it all made sense the more I read and got sucked into it.

It shows a lot of hidden trauma that even we don't know exsist within ourselves and how we are the ones causing the issues in our lives not those around us.

Layla and Everett are my go to couple this year for overcoming their traumas and figure it all out in a semi healthy way.

Layla doesn't see how broke she is and how fractured her family kinda is until a mirror is put up in front of her face, and she doesn't like what she sees and rebels against it.

Everett is still broken from a trauma and loss and has been hiding out and trying to find things to numb the pain. Either Alcohol or adrenaline, just to feel something other than his hidden emotional baggage.

Together they heal each other, but is that enough to be together?

100% recommend this book

Tori Fox has not only given us a great addition to the Everyday Hero’s world she has taken the enemies to friends trope and made it something fresh and raw and beautiful.

This story is about Everett and Layla, two fractured people who don’t believe in love, that is until they spend a steamy summer working at Layla’s family winery. It their summer enough to heal these two cracked hearts?

Tori has given us this story of love, trust and acceptance. It’s a story about family, some heartwarming but also a little bit heartbreaking, but it’s a strong story that you will keep you involved until the end because you will care what happens to these two.

I seriously loved Layla and Everett! Tori Fox you seriously broke my heart and put it back together with these two. Everett is seriously so broken from so much trauma, and Layla was kind of hiding behind her brokenness if that makes sense. These two sort of we’re each others ray of lights in some ways. This was just such a well written book, and I can suggest it enough. If you know me then you know how much I absolutely love these Everyday Heroes Project, and the bar just keeps getting set higher with each book I read. So definitely be sure to add this one to your TBR Lists.

Original review

This book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Tori Fox!
 
Burnout is a standalone book set in Everydag Heroes series and tells the story of Layla and Everret.
 
I haven’t read a book by Tori Fox that I didn’t like. Burnout was another amazing Romance book by her and I really loved Layla and Everret’s story. Although this is a Romance read, it also talks about some tough topics such as loss and an overdose. There is no trigger warning so please keep in mind that these topics will be discussed in this book. I really loved reading Burnout but I wish the author included a trigger warning. But besides that, I really enjoyed reading this book and reading about Layla and Everret.
 
I really enjoyed Layla and Everret’s story because it was an enemies to lovers one. I’m a sucker for enemies to lovers because there are always fights that eventually end in the character’s making out, etc. I always love the build up of these types of Romance books! Layla and Everret are so good for each other even though they didn’t realise it at the beginning of the book. I loved reading in both perspectives and I enjoyed getting to know the characters.

Burnout was a good and enjoyable Romance read. Even though I’m in a reading slump, I finished this book in two days. I was really happy with that, and it means that this book was really good! I really loved Layla and Everret’s story and I also liked the vineyard concept. It’s not something I’ve read before which made me enjoy this book even more! Tori Fox did it again and I’m so excited for her next Romance book!

I've never read anything by the author but it is actually a good book. Everett and Layla have a steamy romance. Their story is heartwarming but also a little bit emotional. So you'll get all the feels! I laughed, cried, and swooned for these two. It is such a page-turner this one.
