Release Blitz & Review - CONTROLLED BURN by Marie James

 

 Release Date: February 3

As the mechanic for Blackbridge Security, when I make a mistake things don’t work properly.
Correcting that mistake is the only way to get things operational.
I meet issues in my personal life with the same mindset.
How was I to know the woman I’ve been flirting with at the gym is the same woman I called a noise complaint on?
I got her kicked out of her condo.
My first response: Move in with me.
When she confessed to having three kids, it was too late to back down.
I thought keeping my hands off of her was going to be a problem, but the tiny terrors she brought along with her are extremely effective at solving that problem for me.

4.5 Stars

This is the 8th book in the Blackbridge Security Series that can be read as a standalone but my suggestion would be to start at the beginning. Many of the characters move throughout the series and it gives a family feel to the relationships.

Finn has been seen all along as the resident safe cracker. With his flaming red hair and his Irish brogue. He has been know along the way as the happy to be single and floating from woman to woman when the need arose. Not really looking for more as of yet, but you never know when that might change. He enjoys his home of luxury that is part of the perks of the job, but isn't super happy when the apartment across the hall starts to get a little rowdy.

Kendall is doing everything she can to rebuild her life after he ex has left them high and dry. She is the best momma to her twins and younger boy. Working evenings and saving everything she can in the search of a new home for them. It seems that she just keeps getting knocked back down. When her brothers landlord gives them an eviction notice and he then decided he is moving to another city for work. She has days to sort things out.

Finn and Kendall met in the complex gym working out. Which they both seem to enjoy. Some fun flirting in the beginning, which quickly turns to distrust. Can Finn work his way back into her life. Does he really want to be there when she has so much baggage? Could she be the one that make him finally want more from life?

Not a much suspense in this book as some of the others in the series. But as a series reader, I was already invested and glad that I read their story too.

Let's see...where to begin...

I'm inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever.

I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.)

We have two boys we're doing our best to raise as respectful gentleman.

I have a master's degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full-time in June of 2019. So that means there's usually always some criminal/law element to my novels.

If I'm not writing; I'm reading.

My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I'm reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it's gotten me exactly where I need to be!)

I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.
