Burn by Suzanne Wright
5.0
Burn is the first book in the Dark In You series and somehow I didn’t even know about this series!! I know I am a crazy person but seriously I am really remiss….the moment I discovered this series I knew that I needed this book in my life. Its a four book series that focuses on one couple: Knox and Harper. I LOVE series that surround just one couple, its not very common so I just gravitate towards them. Now this series is a bit different from her shifter series “Phoenix and Mercury Pack” series. This series revolves around a world of demonkind and my goodness the world building is stunning. I just fell in love with this world that Suzanne Wright has created for her readers and I might even like this series more than her shifter books *gasp* I know I know…crazy talk but seriously these books were so so good and I couldn’t put them down, I read four books in three days because they were so dang good.
Burn, the first book in the series, begins with our heroine. Harper Wallis, is a tattooist and runs her own shop with a few friends. Harper has always had a fascination with art and is very talented and working in a tattoo shop is the perfect environment for Harper to explore her talent and give back in a small way. She is a member of a small demon lair in north Las Vegas. She loves her simple way of life and doesn’t look for complications, but a very BIG one is about to enter her life. While going out with her cousins and friends to an underground championship of battle between demons, her cousin is going to compete. But then their nemesis who will be battling with Harper’s cousin has her attacked and now she is unable to compete. So Harper has to step in as the challenger. Harper isn’t one to show her battle skills in an arena but she is more than willing to do so now considering what happened to a member of her family. Needless to say she conquers easily since she has certain abilities that very few know about. But then after the battle, she is called into Knox Thorne’s office. Knox Thorne is the prime of the Las Vegas Lairs and one of the most powerful and influential demons in the United States and no one dares cross him.
I don’t just call on the flames of hell, Harper. I am the flames of hell
What Harper doesn’t count on is that after meeting Knox Thorne for the first time, they both learn that they are each other’s anchors. Now anchors are pretty important. Every demon kind has an inner demon that can be hard to control and some demons can go rogue if their inner demons is uncontrollable but an achorbrings balance to that control and is needed to survive in most cases. And now Harper is Knox Thorne’s anchor but there is much more to it than that…there is a sexual need that develops between Harper and Knox. At first Knox just believe his demon is fascinated with a new toy and will soon get bored with Harper just like he has with all the previous affairs that Knox has been in over the years. There has never been one woman who his demon has wanted to be with but Harper isn’t like any woman he has ever been with. She is unexpected, always surprsing him…making him laugh in the most odd moments of the day and his demon continues to be even more fascinated and intrigued with each day passing and even more possessive.
Brace yourself, because I’m going to annoy you, ignore you, and surprise you for as long as we both shall live.” He smiled. “And I’m going to spoil you, fuck you, and – of course – order you around for the rest of our lives.
Harper at first doesn’t know how to handle a man like Knox Thorne, his life is so opposite from her simple one. She knows that she will never be fully accepted in his world though. She is a phoenix but was raised by imps when her mother gave her up for adoption and her grandmother forced her birth father to care for her who just took her on his travels but in the end she ended up taking care of him. It was really her grandmother that showed her any true love and affection and loyalty. She doesn’t trust Knox to not break her heart since she has been disappointed by so many in her life and relies on herself and her small imp family.
But even though Knox doesn’t know what this relationship will turn out to be with Harper, he knows he has to take the risk on Harper because she is worth it to him. He has never been with a woman like her and is sexually intune with her but also fascinated with her on an intellectual level as well. But there is a threat to Harper and neither Knox or his demon will allow any harm to come to their….mate.
I found Burn to be such a thrilling, on the edge of your seat, laugh out loud fun and sexy story that will give you the satisfaction you look for in a power packed romance such as this one!! Not a story you want to miss out on…I guarantee it. GRATIFYING IN EVERY WAY
