Burn With Me by Lucy Smoke

 

Burn With Me , (Gods of Hazelwood: Icarus )
Lucy Smoke
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Blurb:
Aurora Summers is nothing but baggage. Beautiful, dangerous, off limits baggage. The plan was simple: Destroy the girl. Ruin her life. Make her and her mother leave. Only … she’s not as easy a target as I thought she’d be. She’s nothing but a pawn, a tool for my father to use against her mother. But pawns don’t fight back the way she does. They don’t violate my sanity the way she does. She put herself in the mouth of the beast. I wanted her out of the way, but now … I can’t let her go. *This is a Dark, College, Mafia, Stepbrother, Enemies to Lovers, Forbidden Romance. Icarus retelling/inspired story*


Burn with me is the first book in a duet. Well it's supposed to be a duet but we all know Lucy and these characters could decide otherwise. Either way, this is book one. So first things first. If you have read any of Lucy's more recent books then you already know that Lucy's characters do dark, depraved, fucked up shit. If you think you have seen it all, her characters say hold my beer and take it to a whole other level. So if depraved isn't your thing, don't read this book. Not going to be for you. And that's perfectly ok!! However, if you have loved that darkness that Lucy's characters have brought up to this point, well hold on b/c Isaac is going to try and take home the gold. He doesn't just push the envelope, he lights that bitch on fire. 

So quick run down, Aurora's flighty mother marries a new man and moves them to his home out of the blue. Poor Rori right. Well it gets worse. Her new husband is NOT a nice man. He's into some shady shit and since Rori is not having his bullshit, he sets his son to watch her and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble. Isaac has other plans though. He doesn't want Rori or her mother around so he makes it his mission to run her off. Only problem, he becomes obsessed with her. Like for real for real obsessed. With Rori becoming more and more suspicious of her new step dad, Isaac is torn between protecting her and destroying her. Rori wants to believe in Isaac but with her past and trust issues, well she's no dummy. 

The back and forth between these two characters is on point! I loved every second of it. They have such chemistry and passion that you can't help but be drawn in to their interactions. Oh my word on the steamy scenes these two get involved in. 

Now if you have read the sick boys series, you will see a couple of familiar faces. Always love that. We also get to meet some new side characters to totally fall in love with. Paris and Shep are  Isaac's best friends and you are going to want their stories as well. 

As always, Lucy has totally knocked this book out of the park. The freaking ending will leave you burning with desire for the next book!!

Merciless Spy by Heather Long

  Merciless Spy, (82 Street Vandals) Heather Long ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: The fierce twin. The dark brother. The wild one. I don’t give a damn about labels. I never have. Not when it comes to me. But stay the hell away from my brothers. All of them. I’ve sacrificed a lot for them, and I’m more than willing to give a lot more. If my blood, sweat, tears, and life were needed, I’d give it all up. Every damn drop. For my brothers, there was nothing I wouldn’t lose. Until her. Reckless, ferocious, and seemingly born to match me in temperament and spirit, Hellspawn is not the fragile flower they all think she is. I don’t think she ever has been. She will not be left behind, she will not hide, and she will not take the crap that life has been throwing at her. She’s saved our lives, defended us, fought for us, and sacrificed herself for us. I have no questions about what she would do if they tried to leverage us against her. This is why I won’t allow anyone to put her to t...

Say You Swear by Meagan Brandy

  Say You Swear Meagan Brandy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb:  If she isn't mine in the end, I'll still be hers. It's torture, but it's true... From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Meagan Brandy comes a new, angsty standalone romance about love, loss, and the path to forgiveness. For years, I've dreamt of what college life could bring and while some things changed, there was always one constant. It didn't matter how wild I allowed my imagination to run, it always led me to the same place in the end. It led me to him. My future was clear, and he was it. Until suddenly ... he wasn't. Now I'm a shell of who I was, on a path too blurry to follow, and I see no way out. No way up. They say first loves last forever. That's exactly what I'm afraid of... ___ This is a 152k word standalone romance full of angst that is sure to pack a punch! This review is going to be a little harder to write b/c you really need to go in...
