Hearts Aflame was an interesting read... One the of only things that saved this book for me was the heroine. Royce was kind of a rapey dick. The sudden turnaround and change of heart at the end with the "Oh I'm actually going to marry you" was a no for me. Too sudden and there was no hint leading up to it. Even Kirsten's flip-flopping with 'will she give into Royce or won't she give in to Royce' was getting too old for me. I did like the angst though.
