One night. No consequences.I should have known it wouldn’t be that simple. I was too connected to Michael Sutherland. Of course I would see him again. But I didn’t expect to see him so soon, or for him to seem so interested.He’s persistent. Kind. Romantic. I fooled myself into believing a few more nights wouldn’t hurt. I liked his command in the bedroom and enjoyed the results. It wasn’t more. … enjoyed the results. It wasn’t more.
Except that he was more. Better than anyone I’d ever met before. Someone I wasn’t sure I could live without.

This captivating well written, well told romance between Ava and Michael was intense, heart breaking and full of depth.
Told in Ava’s POV only, it would have been nice to have Michael’s inner dialogue as well, but Ava’s was done well.
Lots of dark-ish mystery surrounding both their backgrounds as they both show residual damage from past relationships.
A one night stand that was more of a blending of souls ended as agreed upon. Three months later they are thrown together again and agree to a twelve day stand.
Their agonizing past was slowly revealed as the story continued.
Tons of super hot and super steamy scenes filled with graphic eroticism and sweet connection and chemistry.
Very well done.

This was a great story. It was a little over-the-top in some spots, but it is still worth reading. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
Gah, I love characters that are complex and you really have to get to know them to know the real them. Michael and Ava are just that. But what they didn’t count on, was that their walls would come down with each other. Ava tries to fight it but the chemistry and their connection is so intense that it’s hard to. Loved reading their story.

Excellent romance
Very good new opus in this series. It is an excellent romance, with tormented characters but exciting, excellent dialogues between Ava and Mickaël, two beings drowned by their lives in the past or present and who give themselves a bubble of air spending a night together because the next day they will not see each other again. Yet, no one manages to forget the other and when they meet again avoiding each other or opening up to each other becomes just as complicated.

I enjoyed this book. It was intense and full of chemistry. I do believe that their meeting really making an impact on them. I enjoyed both Michael and Ava’s characters. I think I would have liked it more with more backstory to why Michael and Ava are the way they are. There was a bit in, but I didn’t think it warranted their current responses.
Another great book to the series by Alexis Anne. She brings an emotional story with Michael and Ava both working through issues,meeting and having an instant hot and steamy chemistry in bed but will need to get over many obstacles to further their relationship. She does a fantastic job building and moving the story and keeps you reading to the end. Well done! m Warning: there are triggers in this story.

My review-
What worked for me:
-I loved seeing previously met characters again
-the intensity of their connection was red hot
-this plot was different than the previous ones
-the steamy scenes were detailed and sexy
Burn by Alexis Anne. A good contemporary romance with a nice twist to usual plot; strong damaged characters with plenty of passion to share. This is a new author for me, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed reading this story. Good storyline, plenty of drama, and of course a HEA. This story is part of to the Tease series (which I have not read) and can be read as a standalone. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is a story about 2 emotionally jacked people, both afraid to show who they really are to anyone. Michael is a little more evolved than Ava. He has learned that it’s easier to just let go and let the world see who you are, but he still has his moments. Ava is still in the closet. The closet is safe. No one knows who she really is, no one knows enough about her feelings to stomp on them. Michael touches place that no one ever has and she doesn’t want to let go of him as much as she wants him to stay far far away. This was a good story although it may have some triggers for some readers.

A great series that entertaining and captivating.
The author, Alexis Anne is writing a fantastic adult romance series called The Tease. This book, Burn, is book 4 and the interest level, for me, has not dropped one point.
This story’s two main characters are damaged by family and significant taking series advantage of them. Michael is a successful Photographer while Ava is a successful Architect. They meet at Michael’s brother wedding have a one night affair then go their separate ways as mutually agreed upon. Three months later they find themselves working on a project in Calhoun Beach. During that time they find out more about each other and even work through their neurotic tendencies. Great strides are made which results in a very nice HEA.
My take away is that despite how damaged both Ava and Michael were psychologically at the beginning, their time together helped them strengthen their Superego and consequently the Id and ego. I say that because their whole demeanor changes at the end with smiling, laughter, and planing for the future.
All I can is Booyah Alexis. Thank you for this story and your lovely letter to your readers at the end of the story. <3
So it’s without question I’m recommending this book for your reading enjoyment and pleasure. Peace.
