I have so much I could say but sum it up with READ IT!! This book DESTROYED me. some books tug at my heart, get me emotional......D.M. made me ugly cry. Like I bawled to where my husband asked if I was okay....NO I most definitely was not okay. Without a doubt one of my top reads of 2026 if not the #1 read of 2026 for me.

Ashlyn lost her parents in a warehouse fire when she was young and is out for revenge. Blake a firefighter who has never lost a life. 1 fire that tangled them up in a beautiful story of being seen and wanting your person.

Also side note Blakes bestie Theo is literally my spirit character. He is so full of life banter and pushes Blake to take chances.

Alright, this was cruel and unusual punishment yet somehow still beautiful. You know from the start they’re on borrowed time. Ashlyn has been surviving on revenge since her parents died in a building fire. When Blake enters her life, he’s searching for a love that finally feels whole even if it costs him everything.
Their connection walks a dangerous line between intense, tragic, and impossible to ignore. The ending wrecked me. Brutal, heartbreaking and all consuming.

I was lucky to be given an ARC copy of the book by the author!

I was fortunate enough to read this as a beta reader. The book consumed me all the good ways! Our FMC, Ashlyn, is morally grey but you cheer for the whole time despite knowing her crimes. The main MMC, Blake, is so good for her, you root for them throughout! The best friend, Theo, is that bit of comic relief you need and also someone who I was left wanting to hug at the end of this book. Every part of the story was captivating and left you wanting more!

I got this book from the author herself a few months ago as an ARC reader and I devoured this book!

It was funny, the story itself is great and the main characters are the best! Even Theo our favorite “side” character made a big impact on the story!

Blaze & Ash’s story is amazing & the ending was cruel but perfectly wrapped the story up perfectly!

Thank you so much!!
