Burning Embers

Mated by Fire, Book 1

De: Katie May

Narrado por: Veronica Fox, Chris Chambers

The only way to survive the flames is to become one with them.

Since my parents died when I was young, I've been bounced from foster home to foster home. Some have been great. Others… not so much.

My social worker, Amanda, assures me that this new home will be my final one.

New house. New school. New life.

Surprisingly enough, my foster parents are wonderful and my foster siblings have quickly become the family I thought I lost. And I know I'll always have my best friend and secret crush, Grayson, by my side.

But everything changes when I arrive at my new school and capture the attention of the most popular guys.

Ashton, Reid, Emery, and Ethan rule the school with an iron fist, and almost immediately, they take me under their wing.

But my new friends are a little… odd. For starters, they like to sniff me way more often than should be normal. Secondly, they seem to be enemies of the other guys at school—including the attractive but emotionally unavailable class president, Ansel. And finally, they seemed to have claimed me as "theirs" even before we had a conversation.

I'm beginning to realize that not everything in this town is as it seems. And if I hope to survive past graduation, I'll need to figure out how to navigate this new world I've found myself in.

Or I might just burn like embers.

Burning Embers is book one of a trilogy that features possessive paranormals and a strong FMC who's just beginning to learn her own strength. This is a why-choose/reverse harem romance, meaning the FMC won't have to choose between her various love interests. While this book does take place in high school, no sexy times will commence until all the characters are over eighteen.

I love this series so much

While I wait on pins and needles for the third book to be released (in general), I was so stoked to see the first book got an audiobook in the meantime! I’ve read the first two and this series is so cool and it’s not true bully romance (which is personally not my jam, no judgement if you like that trope!) because enough guys in her potential “harem”are nice to her so the impact of being isolated/picked on from anyone else is less destructive because of their sweetness. It’s YA but in the delightful way this genre can be. The narrators did a great job bringing the characters to life!

wow!

I would have finished this in one day had I not needed to sleep . I laughed so hard I was out of breath and was crying at points. I still have way more questions than answers. The cliffhanger at the end had me running to Amazon to order the next book! the writing and character development is on point and what I understand about the plot has me riveted in place. highly recommend!

Catchy

Enjoyed the story line but it was a cliff hanger and the second book isn’t available…
