From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and “master of contemporary romance, with heroes so hot they set the pages on fire” (Gena Showalter, New York Times bestselling author), a steamy romantic suspense novel about arson investigator, Anne Ashburn, who is consumed by her troubled past, her family’s scorched legacy, and her current case: chasing a deadly killer.Anne Ashburn is a woman consumed… Strong-willed and brash, Anne relished the thrill of fighting fires. But when one risky decision at a warehouse scene changes her life forever, she must reinvent not only her job, but her whole self. Despite the desire to move on, Anne finds her new career as an arson investigator a pale substitute for all the adrenaline-fueled buzz she left behind. She doesn’t believe she will ever feel that same all-consuming passion for a job again—until a string of suspicious fires endangers the lives of her former colleagues. Danny McGuire is the best fireman in the city but in the midst of a personal meltdown. He’s taking risks like never before thanks to a reckless death wish—until he teams up with Anne to find the fire starter. Passion flares between them—not for the first time—but as Anne narrows in on her target, the arsonist marks her as the next victim in this firestorm of a novel. With heart-pounding suspense and sizzling romance, Consumed is a compulsively readable novel that “you won’t be able to put down” (USA TODAY).

"This book truly consumed me! Loved the writing in the book and had all the great elements I love in a book. Unfortunately the book did end on a cliffhanger and forced me to read the next book to know what happens."

"4.5 stars<br/><br/>Consume is book two in A taboo duet. Unexpected should be read first. As much as I enjoyed both books, I actually enjoyed this book a little more; on that note, Consume receives 4.5 stars. Do read the author's trigger warning; the book is slightly taboo with Dd/lg. I loved it; however, it’s not for everyone. <br/><br/> Tor and Gianna's story starts shortly after book one ended. With outside help, they face many bumps in their relationship—actually, more than bumps, more like boulders. I have to say I was teared up on some parts, Make no mistake; you can feel the love between the two. I was literally shouting to tell people to mind their business. The book still has the old meet new Vegas vibe. Which I personally love. <br/><br/> There is a proper mixture of steamy spice with romance, and it's smoking hot. I love how they made judgemental people uncomfortable in public; I couldn't help but laugh. Gianna is such a strong woman who has such crappy parental units in her life, which molded how she is, and Tor is fiercely protective. He would do anything for Gianna. The author knows how to write an age gap romance with a taboo factor. I am not ready to say goodbye to them and hope to see them in the future. If you like taboo age gape with dd/lg this is for you."
