Let Me Burn
(Angel Sands Book 1)
by Carrie Elks
She isn't looking for love. He's not planning on staying around. But when they meet, sparks fly...
Lucas Russell lives for his job as a big city firefighter. But when he's forced to take extended leave following an accident, he returns to his small hometown to stay at the beach cottage his grandparents left him. The problem is, he's not used to having so much time on his hands.
After a broken engagement, Ember Kennedy isn't ready for love right now. But she didn't count on meeting a handsome firefighter with a dimpled smile. After Lucas saves her from one awkward situation too many, she can't stop thinking about him.
Ember finds Lucas impossible to resist, and he's determined not to let her. As long summer days melt into sultry, passionate nights what begins as a fling develops into something much deeper. Until the day Ember's ex-fiancé returns to town and threatens to destroy the fragile connection that's building between them.
*This stand-alone romance is low on angst and big on feels. If you enjoy a heartwarming read that's sweet with heat, Let Me Burn is for you*
“Hey, if life gives you lemons—” “Add a little tequila,”
“She’s beautiful and she’s funny but she’s fresh out of a
relationship.” “How fresh?” “I’m not sure. A few months maybe.” “That’s not
fresh… That’s rancid. She’s probably ready for another date.”
If he’d felt like the King of the World before, now he felt like
he’d expanded his empire to include the rest of the galaxy… “I like you, Lucas
Russell,” she whispered. “I like you a lot.” Forget the galaxy, he was king of
the universe.
He’s gorgeous. And a natural with kids. I only have to look at him
and my ovaries start to flutter.
Lucas and Ember were the
sweetest couple and easily fell into a fun, satisfying, considerate, sexy, and
supportive relationship. Let Me Burn
was a pleasant start to a promising new series and an enjoyable and welcome
change from angsty stories with constant conflict and drama. The writing and storylines were engaging,
well-paced, lively, easy to follow, and performed an excellent job of
introducing the characters and establishing the foundation for subsequent
installments. I am anxious to see who
will be the focus of the next book as I am already curious about several of the
characters.
