Description:
Beau’s passion burns hot for Harley Montoya. When he discovers that the woman who has enflamed his libido is the girl he fell in love with so long ago in a runaway shelter, he is overcome with joy. But Harley – or Nada as he knew her – has been burned by tragedy. They both live lives full of adventure. He builds custom weaponry and owns a reptile preserve, and she is an EOD expert – Harley defuses bombs for a living. But nothing is more explosive than the love they share.
Beau is determined to show Harley that he is worthy of her trust and that he is willing to protect her from anything that would cause her harm. But Harley has a mad-man on her trail and she can’t walk away from her responsibilities. Bombs, alligators, haunted plantations and Louisiana lore spice up their life, and danger and ghosts from their past threatens to tear them apart – but nothing can put out the white-hot flames of their Burning Love.
Burning Love is the first in a series that is going to go on my reread often list!!! Sable has once again knocked my socks off! This book has everything I love about Louisiana in it. Starting with the main character Beau being from my hometown of Church Point, La. Sable shows our state through eyes that lets others see how great it really it.
Harley is a loner by choice because life has handed her a raw deal. She grew up fast and hard due to events that changed her for life. One bright spot has always been the memory of Beau. She and Beau were in the same group home when she was thirteen and he was sixteen. She helped him escape and had to run for her life before he could come back and rescue her. Beau is immediately attracted to Harley when she comes to his shop to have her gun remodeled and when he finds out that Harley is his Nada (the name he knew her as back then) his heart is hers to keep. But the traumas of her past are a hurdle he will have to cross with her.
Beau spends his days rescuing and capturing wild animals (mostly alligators and crocodiles) but nothing makes him as nervous as the thought of loosing Harley. Her job is not something he would ever expect and her problems from her past make him scared he will do something to cause her to leave him. Can they find a way to overcome the obstacles in their path?? Will the ghost of her past come back to cause them more problems??
I have to say I was beyond impressed with the way Sable handled Harley being a victim of a sexual assault. I have read many books where it was pushed aside way to quickly. The way it is done here was not only realistic, but it was a thing of beauty to watch. Beau is beyond a hot guy, he is a damn good man!! Not only was this book panty melting good, it was excellent in my opinion!! I highly recommend it to everyone. I know y’all will love it as much as I have!!

Burning Love seems like a great read. Being from Louisiana myself, i enjoy reading books based in my home state.

Great review! I have several of Sable’s books but have to add this one to the buy list.
This looks like a book I need to add to my wish list. Can’t wait to read it.
Cajun heroes are so hunky! I love books that feature characters from Louisiana.
I love to write about Louisiana. And about hunky men – – makes book plotting so enjoyable. Fantasizing. And thank you all for taking the time to visit. And thanks Casey for liking the book. You are always a barometer of mine – if you like it, I know its okay.
