One glance across a dim, crowded room. That’s all it took for my life to change.One moment. One look. One touch. From him… crave his biting words and rough touches. He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever known and his touch is unlike anything I’ve ever felt.
He unravels me. My life. Everything I’ve ever known, until all that’s left are secrets that never seem to end.
Until all that’s left is ashes and blood.
Until we burn.

I had such a great time being in the company of Leo, Cassie, Christoffer and Arabella. Burn was a thrilling and entertaining story that kept me glued to the pages. I simply couldn’t get enough of these characters.
The story kicks of with a death and from that point on it’s full steam ahead. Cassie and Leo are freaking amazing and intoxicating. From their first stare off to them slowly getting to know one another to them getting involved emotionally and intimately. Their chemistry is off the charts hot and Leo has a deliciously dirty mouth. A catnip of mine and couldn’t stop drooling and wishing I was in Cassie’s shoes.
Leo has a few skeletons in his closet and they have made him the man he is today. Flawed, tough and ruthless and when it comes to Cassie it’s doubled cause he will do anything to make sure she’s safe and his. I didn’t like Cassie at first. She came off as a little naive but she slowly comes out of her shell and finds her voice thanks to Leo.
Burn has its twists and turns along the way and I enjoyed that cause it sets up book 2 perfectly. An ending I didn’t expect but am so excited about cause I get to be with these characters for another book.

As a fan of Alexandra’s original Imperfect Hearts series I was excited to read the first in the Virtues and Lies series – Burn!
A totally new direction for Alex – known for her sweet but sexy style – Burn is an explosive and gripping not to mention HOT and Steamy romance with enough twists and turns to keep you gripped from cover to cover.
As the story unfolds and the twists and lies are revealed the chemistry and passion between Leo and Cassie will have your heart aching.
Their all consuming need and desire for each other is clear from the start but Leo’s vow to protect her from the evils of the web of lies surrounding their families has him desperately trying to resist their connection. Cassie has other plans and will not rest until her craving for him is satisfied.
The obsessive love, lust and romance not to sizzling hot sex scenes had me falling in love with Leo. Cassie grows from a silly “little Girl” to a strong young woman through the story as the family’s secrets and lies unfold.
The thrilling suspense, intrigue and final revelations of Burn had me gasping out loud and desperate to know what happens next – be prepared for a book hangover!
Once again Alex’s story telling talent had me falling in love, my heart breaking and clutching my kindle so tight with anticipation. The whole story was amazing and is a fantastic start to this new series.
I am still reeling from the heart wrenching soul crushing Epilogue and will be counting down the days for the next book in the series because I cannot get enough of these Virtues and Lies!
Congratulations Alexandra – another 5-star read!
by Alexandra Silva is EVERYTHING!!!!
I seriously could not put this book down, Leo and Cassie are pure FIRE. I just loved how alpha and protective Leo was of Cassie, these two have a chemistry that is just off the charts. I loved also how Cassie never lied about her feelings and was so innocent yet had this fire in her that made her strong.
This is my first book by Alexandra Silva but I can tell you that It will not be my last, I will be reading her previous books asap!!!
Burn is the first book in the Virtues and Lies series. To be honest I’m not sure how to describe the story. From the synopsis I thought it was going to be a drama filled love story and it is but also so much more. I am hesitant to say anything that will give away the plotlines. The story is full of intrigue and mystery and so many secrets. Cassie and Leo are like magnets that are drawn to each other, the chemistry between them is insane. The secondary characters play such a huge part of the story and with Christopher’s book next I can’t wait.
