Love is just a word until someone enters your life and gives it meaning.
“No”
One word.
Two letters.
But those two letters changed everything.
It was impossible to predict the impact I would have on the life of the only woman I’d ever truly loved. No way to know that I would result in her ruin.
I’d suffer for eternity with the knowledge that it was me who brought devastation to her doorstep.
Though I deserved the anguish I felt, to see her suffer was unacceptable.
I would fix this.
Somehow I would prove to her that I wasn’t the monster she thought I was.
Even if it meant becoming a monster in order to make that happen.
Review
‘The man I loved had betrayed me.’
I love Elisabeth Grace’s books but Hook left us all with the cliffy to end all cliffy’s and I was personally worried how everything could be fixed and resolved. The worst thing that could happen happened and moving on from that seemed impossible. Yet, from the beginning of Burn I was pulled in and even when the book got to the darkest of places I was still optimistic that Emily and Marco would find a way to come together.
“Careful, cara. The revenge you seek may very well be your destruction.”
Going over plot in this series is impossible as it seems like everything is a spoiler. But after everything goes down in Hook everything changes and the stability and normalcy that Marco and Emily seemed to be working towards is over and Emily is back to making hard decisions. She has to do some things that honestly turned my stomach a bit but were for the bigger picture. Even when I hated some of her decisions I could not seem to dislike her. Likewise, even though I should be blaming Marco for all that went down I still seemed to be rooting for him the whole time.
‘But I was afraid, too. Afraid I’d fall too far and too fast like I had before. Afraid I’d end up decimated once more.’
Burn is dark and difficult but the love between Marco and Emily is timeless and impossible to resist. Even with every card stacked against them they are pulled toward each other. This series ruined me, my heart ached constantly in the best way possible. Elisabeth Grace is a phenomenal writer and I hope she explores more books in this style in the future.
