Inflame (Toxic Desire #1) by Victoria Dawson publishing August 15th 2023
Picking up right up following the end of the Entice Series we now follow the story of Claire and Nic, the best friend and the brother of our previous main protagonists. It is recommended that you read Entice first to understand some of the wider context behind some of the characters actions.
I have been on Victoria’s ARC team since her debut and have watched her development as an author. This books deals with some series situations / circumstances so please (PLEASE 🙏) check the TW before you start.
There were moments in this book that made me giggle - I love the friendship and support that Angie and Claire have with / for one another. They are each others ride or die regardless of the men in their lives.
And then there were a lot of the time I wanted to launch my kindle across the room.
I found myself in a love / hate relationship with the characters - mainly Nic. I so wanted to love him especially because of his sweet moments but his self sabotage particularly at the lead up to the cliffhanger made me want to throttle him!
My heart broke for Claire and the situation that she’s in so I understand why her behaviour and decisions are what they are but at times I did find her infuriating.
Now please don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed reading this book. It gave me the grumpy x sunshine, forced proximity, overprotective alpha male vibes with the spice you’d expect from a Victoria Dawson book while tackling some heavy topics woven into the story.
I now need the final instalment Implode publishing September 21st 2023 to see how it all ends and maybe Nic can redeem himself in my eyes (and more importantly Claire’s!!)
