To Burn in Brutal Rapture
by Nyla K.
“you’re not a curse Lazarus Weston, you’re a storm.”
5+++++ stars!
Going into this book all we know that it is a forbidden love story between Tracien and her godfather Lazarus. The first part of the book takes place as Traci is growing up, becoming a woman and developing feelings for her much older family friend, Lazarus. There is so, so much more to this book and I really suggest not seeking out any spoilers to learn more. This is really all you need to know about the story. Go in blind and enjoy the ride… or burn?
I absolutely fell in love with Lazarus Weston. Like way more than I was expecting when I started this book. He’s grumpy, he doesn’t like people, he’s brilliant, he’s gorgeous and he’s covered in tats. What’s not to love? I loved being inside his head and seeing him grow and change from beginning to end of this book. What Lazarus has been through, and continues to go through throughout this story is truly heartbreaking but so worth it in the end.
Traci was such a great character to get to know as well. We see her growing up from the time she’s 12 up until 18-19. She was such a sassy and fierce character and she’s a bit of a lonely soul which is something I relate to a lot. Without spoiling anything, much like Laz, she goes throughA LOT in this book and seeing her continue to fight for happiness and love was so beautiful.
I don’t want to say anything else about these characters and this story because like I said, the author wants it to be a blind reading experience for us. You will also get to meet some more amazing characters throughout this story that really just tie the whole book together and I just can’t say enough about how freaking beautiful this story is. The writing is some of the best writing I’ve read in a long time as well. Nyla K also can write some pretty bomb sex scenes to be prepared for that!!
This was my first Nyla K novel and I can’t wait to dive into her backlist because I enjoyed this so, so much!
