At the beginning of the year, I made a list of authors that I've been saying I need to read and commit to reading at least one book by each of the authors in 2025. Here's my thoughts on one of those books/authors.
Goodreads: Burn For Me by Ilona Andrews
Blurb: Nevada Baylor is faced with the most challenging case of her detective career—a suicide mission to bring in a suspect in a volatile case. Nevada isn't sure she has the chops. Her quarry is a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, who can set anyone and anything on fire.
Then she's kidnapped by Connor "Mad" Rogan—a darkly tempting billionaire with equally devastating powers. Torn between wanting to run or surrender to their overwhelming attraction, Nevada must join forces with Rogan to stay alive.
Rogan's after the same target, so he needs Nevada. But she's getting under his skin, making him care about someone other than himself for a change. And, as Rogan has learned, love can be as perilous as death, especially in the magic world.

My Thoughts: I'm a little conflicted about this one (and it's not just because of the cover which I can't stand) and I think it's because the urban fantasy part of the genre just isn't really for me. The world building and class structure just isn't my favorite. I also went with the audio book version and while the narrator did a good job her voice just didn't fit the story which I found a bit jarring. That said, as soon as I finished this book I went and put the other 5 in the series on my library list. I really liked Nevada and I loved her family and that dynamic. Mad Rogan is another interesting and complicated character and the relationship that developed between the two was interesting and at times unexpected. The way the story unfolded also really held my interest. There's a twist or two that really surprised me and a few moments that even had me laughing. I probably won't be seeking out any other urban fantasy books but I will definitely be finishing this series and am looking forward to seeing more of Nevada, Mad, and the rest of the side characters. My Rating: Really Liked It (4 Stars)
