ARC received for an honest review

** Make sure you read the two free novellas TheWedding From Hell: Rehearsal Dinner and The Wedding From Hell: The Reception before diving in to Consumed. **

A new series from JR Ward - let me at it! Plus - firefighters? Helloooooo! Though I want to know where all these hot firefighters are hiding, as I have never found them yet!

If you have read the 2 prequel novellas above, you will know who Consumed it all about - Anne and Danny. And boy do sparks fly between them.

I liked how Ms Ward was not afraid to go into Consumed all gun "blazing". I mean wow, only a few % in and I was like hoolie doolie!


We are given a wonderfully written story that is more than firefighters. It was a heck of a lot more emotional than I was expecting. Anne has a cargo hold of familial baggage that she is carrying around.


I just want them to get together!

However there is more to this tale then a romance, and the mystery/suspense will keep you on the edge or your chair - or couch, or bed! There were some red herrings thrown in there, and I thought I knew whodunnit, but nope. I am sure Ms Ward is sitting back laughing at us all thinking we know how the bad guy is! When it was revealed I was all "what in the everloving fork?" I had no clue.

And I liked that I didn't know.

I buddy read this book with a friend, and we were both Consumed with this book.

Now I am impatiently waiting for the next installment of the Firefighters series.
