Review: Burn for Me

Burn for Me by Sara Cate
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

We open eight years in the past inside a Florida courtroom as Everly prepares to see the criminal mastermind of a human trafficking ring sentenced.

In the present, Everly has left her job as an investigative reporter, deciding to make a change professionally. Instead of crafting stories, she’s going to try her hand at teaching journalism at the local college. This new direction results in unexpectedly crossing paths with Cullen whom she hasn’t seen since the fateful day in the courtroom eight years earlier.

Still angry for the losses he’s suffered and the hardships he’s faced, Cullen blames Everly and sets out on a course of revenge. But as the enemies become lovers and the lines of hate and love are blurred, the duo will have to come to terms with their past. Yet the past never really stays in the past. So when secrets surface and monsters wriggle out from under the bed, choices must be made: retribution or redemption.

I really enjoyed this story all the way around. Both characters grow tremendously individually and as a couple. There was plenty of steam to balance the story and the surprises. I’d definitely recommend this one if you haven’t read it yet!

⛔️ Warning: This book/series may cause blushing, squirming, combusting pantries, and/or self-care. It’s definitely NSFW or with a kiddo by your side. In fact, I would highly recommend you read this one after dark to avoid side eye or awkward conversations.
