Falling for him is playing with fire...
Chloe Addison is on the verge of a promising career in real estate development until an explosion destroys her first major project and casts suspicion on her in an arson investigation. Her career is suddenly at risk—and possibly her life.
Firefighter Ryan Monroe wants a spot on the arson team, and getting close to Chloe might be the best way to solve his first investigation. Despite a painful past of his own, Ryan has dedicated himself to saving people, and when he realizes Chloe is in danger, she’s no exception. He just might be the perfect guy to rescue her, but their attraction could bring them both down in flames.

First: hot firefighters. I could end this review right here. LOL! But there just so happens to be a really good book involving the sexy firefighters.

Well I never expected THAT!
First of all, you will NEVER guess who was causing the explosions. I was so surprised!
Nextly, this was a great read! Chloe was a little down on herself and lacking self-esteem, which is understandable given the horrendous past she had to endure. But, she tried her best to ...more
I loved BURN! I couldn't help but sympathize with Chloe. The poor woman had some issues with her self-esteem after being in an abusive relationship, and she was inundated by allegations of arson. Yikes! She was in big trouble. But who better to help her out of it than a hot firefighter, right? And e ...more

Absolutely loved this! Debut author, but you'd never know it! Well written, tightly-plotted, perfectly paced, delicious romance! Altieri keeps you guessing until the very end about who might 'have done it' and honestly, I was rooting for more than one 'villain' to get what was coming to them! I don' ...more
Received in exchange for a honest review.
This was good. I liked how even when Ryan had reason to doubt Chloe he still looked inside himself and trusted his gut and believed she was innocent. Can’t always say that about Chloe. She was not always that way when it came to Ryan but she did have some bad ...more
As soon as I saw the cover to Burn, I knew I wanted to read it. It's so provocative. And the book itself is a joy to read!
First off, the characters Chloe and Ryan have so much chemistry it's a wonder they don't set the pages aflame.
Chloe is a small town girl with a big secret. She's trying to esca ...more
Burn. Just what to say about this book. First, it is well written with a great storyline that is intriguing in it mystery surrounding an arson investigation. The little problem comes in with the storyline between the two lead characters Chloe and Ryan. It was a bit too much angst, too much "should I ...more

I am in two minds as to where I can pitch this review, for two reasons
1. Because I don’t want to give any of the storyline away because it is the depth of the story that is its biggest asset
2. If I am being honest I would have to say that because I struggled somewhat with the characters. ...more

This was my first book by this Author. It was a suspsenseful and mysterious read with a hint or romance or two. Who is Chloe Addison? Who is Ryan Monroe? What do each of them do for a living? What happens with Chloe's work that puts her in the crosshairs of an investigation? When her past comes out, ...more

This is the first story I've read by Ms. Altieri and I have mixed feelings about this book. I just couldn't really connect to Chloe. Ryan is a sexy firefighter with a protective streak and he is much more of a relatable character for me. I especially had a hard time investing in them as a ...more

Although I had never read this author before, I requested an ARC of this novel from Net Galley primarily because Entangled is one of my favorite publishers. I tend to greatly prefer their Ignite series over the Select Suspense, but the description for this story sounded interesting. Chloe and Ryan a ...more
