"Consumed" by Raja Savage. This book is part of the "Burning With Desire Anthology"

Stone has had a traumatic childhood and rough start in love. Being beaten daily by his stepfather and being unable to save his mother and sister from a house cause when his stepfather ended their lives; Stone ended up being bounced around within the foster care system angry, hurt, and full of rage until he was adopted by a woman who wanted to give him a loving home and a new lease on life.

The one thing Stone loves the most is fighting fires. He loves doing the one thing he could do as a teenager and that's saving lives. After being rejected by his girlfriend years ago; Stone became a notorious Playboy with a heart of ice until the day he met his match in Monroe.

While responding to a house fire Stone sets his eyes on a woman who changed his life in that one moment. Upon saving Monroe's life, Stone was drawn to her like a moth to a flame.

The chemistry between Stone and Monroe was smoking hot. While looking into Monroe's fire he realizes that she was targeted and he house was no accident. Now with the help of his firehouse buddies Stone has became her personal protector and private investigator.

Somebody is stalking Monroe and wants her to pay for over looking them as if they never existed. In the same token Stone's past has come back from the dead to torment him. Stone's past is intricately tied to Monroe's future and I'm certain it won't take him long to put the pieces together because his and Monroe's lives depend on it.

My review for this anthology is purely on Igniting Ember By R Sullins.

She was never really interested in boys. They didn't see her, she was the invisible one.

But one college project photo shoot at the local fire station and all eyes are on her.

He wasn't looking for love, or even a reletionship, but who's the girl behind the camera. There's just something about her..

This is an insta love read that will have your heart dancing for joy!

Everything about this story spoke to me from the innocence of Ember, to the gentlemanly behaviour of Mark.

They really are perfect for each other. She's beautiful inside and out, whilst he's the guy we all wish we had in our lives.

This story is the perfect read for when you need a quick fix with a HEA!

Hot firemen and cute kittens, are a fantastic combination after all!

*this review is only for Consumed by Raja Savage*

Stone has a traumatic past, one that has led him to his firefighter profession and sets him up to save Monroe's life. But she is being stalked and targeted and he needs to help find out who before its too late.

Consumed was a fast paced read that brings together mystery, romance and thriller genres in a one story. Stone has such a traumatic past and one that a lot of people wouldn't come out on the better side for. I loved the path the author gave him and how nicely everything was set up for him and Monroe. The plot was interesting and I was entertained the entire time.

Consumed by Raja Savage

" 'Pouting won't get you any brownie points.' "

There is so much to unload from Consumed and I am still deeply in love with Raja Savage's writing. Stone and Monroe have all my heart and their fast-burn romance is one for the books.

I never knew what to expect and all the twists and turns leaves you begging for more. Needing more.

Consumed by Raja Savage, holy moly. Stone had a tough childhood and he has found a place where he belongs and is wanted. After a heartbreak he decides to close himself off from love. Fate brings him and Monroe together but there is danger lurking. Really good read.

Raja Savage has done it again. What the what. OMG. This book has mystery and all the steamy stuff. But the cliffhanger ugh. I'm on the edge of my seat to see what happens next.

3.5 stars Review for Consumed by Raja Savage. Consumed is a firefighter Insta love story with some suspense woven in. Stone is a firefighter with past trauma that rescues a beauty named Monroe and immediately falls for her. Monroe and Stone move fast with their relationship but soon realize that all is not as it seems, there are people from both of their pasts that will have to deal with. This story does end on a cliffhanger, so I guess we will have to wait and see how everything works out for Stone and Monroe.

Consumed

This story by Raja Savage was burning with plenty of exciting adventures and suspense. The author made me feel Stone, the main character’s, pain, my heart ached for his misery. This book was so riveting that I couldn’t put it down until the very last page. This story may or may not end on a cliffhanger but either way I can’t wait to see what the author has in store next. Highly recommended and definitely a MUST read!

Consumed by Raja Savage was such a suspenseful read! Never knew what was going to happen and the cliffhanger at the end has me absolutely needing ro know what happens next! I love how the backstory and context filled out the story, and brought so much detail and life to the story. Cannot wait for the next!

I had the pleasure of reading consumed by raja savage. That short story was absolutely amazing . The book kept going it never stopped it had loads of steam and action. I’m so glad that Stone met Monroe , especially when he truly is a sweet heart that had a rough life as a youngster. That ending though that was a twist and one heck of a cliff hanger. I hope to see more of Stone and Monroe .

Anthologies are hard to review and sometimes hard to read. I don’t understand why they don’t have an overall editor on them - some will be nicely edited, some will be a hot mess. This one had one that wasn’t even formatted. Ugh.

Aside from all that, some of the stories were really good, others not. I do wish they would list whether each one is a complete story or just the first two chapters of a book that may or may not be released yet.

I am soooo excited for this anthology to be released out into the world (September 9th).

I worked with some AMAZING authors to make their dream a reality. I've always LOVED firefighters and when the chance to write a story with a mix of hot and spicy came up, I was all in.

This anthology has been a blast to write and work with all the other amazing authors. I can't wait to get my hands on the hardcopy because OMG, it's gorgeous!

My story is filled with sugar and spice with everything nice, but my fellow authors will have you clenching those imaginary pearls while fanning yourself and begging for a glass of water to cool you off.

I suggest you jump on the fire truck with us because you're in for one helluva hot ride!

Consumed BY Raja Savage is a fast burn insta love between Stone who is a Fire Fighter who is a love em and leave em after a rocky love past. That is until he found Monroe he was instantly head over heals for her. Come see the world Raja builds and the twist and turns along the way. Some and Monroe are couple goals.
