Another amazing New Adult Romance novel that kept me on the edge, and made me devour this in a sitting!

Most people know that I love romance in books, but don't like romance books. My passion belongs to fantasy worlds and their wars, problems and characters. However, ever since I came across NA novels, I found myself enjoying them more than I wanted to admit. For several reasons. And Tami Fischer made sure I added some more reasons to that list with Burning Bridges, the first novel of a trilogy.

The reason I picked up this book was because I found myself in a semi-slump due to my uni reading list, and needed something light and goodhearted which was impossible to find within the Fantasy genre at that time. So my friend recommended me this series, and without thinking too much I got the books and started the first right away. Only to completely devour it.

I personally can only last a few of these books before I start to get bored, and I definitely can only love them if I'm A) in the right mood, and B) not taking it seriously. Really. You should come for the bananas, and not for the logic. If all of that is set, the devouring can start!

In the beginning of reading, I found the story rather filled with stereotypes and cliches, and didn't expect to enjoy it as much. Ella, a goodhearted girl, gets broken up with and finds out her boyfriend has been cheating on her with a friend. After spilling her drink into his face (applause for that), she gets kicked out of the bar and finds herself alone in the street where she shortly after gets approached by three guys of the sorts who don't have the word "no" in their vocabulary. But before any damage can happen, a mysterious guy saves her and disappears into the night. And after that all she can think of are the steelgrey eyes of that night. Whoever thought of Twilight that moment, fear not, even the author was very well aware of the resembles to Edward saving Bella as she was making fun of it in the story itself (and made me automatically forgive her the stereotypical beginning). I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, but as soon as these two characters found their ways back to each other, I didn't want and couldn't stop reading. The tension build between them kept me on edge all the time, and the dark life of Ches, the male protagonist, gave the story an extra spice that made some things not as predictable as I feared they would be.

All in one, this book is the perfect goodhearted romance story to read in between and to get into the mood of reading more books, especially when one tries not to take anything seriously at all.
