5 Smooches!
Synopsis
Millie Cross knows what it’s like to burn for someone. She was young and wild and he was fierce and even wilder-a Chaos biker who made her heart pound. They fell in love at first sight and life was good, until she learned she couldn’t be the woman he needed and made it so he had no choice but to walk away. Twenty years later, Millie’s chance run-in with her old flame sparks a desire she just can’t ignore. And this time, she won’t let him ride off . . .
Bad boy Logan “High” Judd has seen his share of troubles with the law. Yet it was a beautiful woman who broke him. After ending a loveless marriage, High is shocked when his true love walks back into his life. Millie is still gorgeous, but she’s just a ghost of her former self. High’s intrigued at the change, but her betrayal cut him deep-and he doesn’t want to get burned again. As High sinks into meting out vengeance for Millie’s betrayal, he’ll break all over again when he realizes just how Millie walked through fire for her man . . .
Review
Walk Through Fire is the 4th book in the Chaos Series and while I have enjoyed all of these books this one was by far my most favorite. I am really shocked to say that considering that I pretty much loathed High in the previous books and thought that he was a complete dog. But this book was so packed with drama, angst and the gut wrenching kind of love that means you cannot put it down even for a second and I was able to forgive High’s past indiscretions and really learn to love this majorly alpha sexy as hell biker!
“I gave you up, walking though fire to do it but I did it,”
“I did it in the end. I gave you everything.”
Lord mercy jesus, this story. It literally ripped my heart out. Walk Through Fire jumped back and forth between the past and present seamlessly telling the story of Millie and High’s relationship over 20 years ago and their pretty much non existent relationship now. Millie left High back then and he has been torn up and hurt over it ever since but what he doesn’t know is that Millie walks through fire for him everyday and boy, did this one hurt.
“I’m done walking through fire for you, High!”
I’m done not because I’m done but because there’s nothing left of me to burn. You have it all! You’ve always had it all! I gave up everything so you could have it all!! Please! God! Leave me to my nothing!”
And while I felt bad for High and understood his pain, my heart really broke for Millie. Her story really is a tragic one because for 20 years she has barely been existing and it is just so hard to read. As usual in a KA romance the angst is broken up with bits of hilarity and sexy time. But what I find I really enjoy in Kristen Ashley’s books is the children she writes and this book was no acceptation. I loved and hated High’s kids. Kristen has the ability to really portray children and their honesty and sometimes that just makes you not like them a little bit, but it made the story even better.
Walk Through Fire is brilliantly written and paced so incredibly well. It is a long book but really every little bit was needed. I loved meeting new characters and revisiting some of my favorites. This one is the best in the series yet!
