Cole Jaimes - Hearts On Fire

Oh Cole, how you slay me in this book!  This book picks up where Hearts Revenge left off. And I won't tell you how it begins in case  you haven't read it yet.  But go ahead, go read it then get to this book!  Aidan was not who Essie thought he'd be.  She was not expecting to feel the way she did toward him and was not prepared to see a different Aidan than what she thought.  They were magnetic. There was a pull toward each other that they couldn't resist. And I couldn't resist falling in love with them!  

"Fuck, Essie, you're so beautiful.  Your body is perfect.  Are you going to let me destroy you? Are you going to let me fuck you hard enough that you'll be finding bruises for days?"  
So I know that's taken from a part you haven't read yet, but let me tell you how much Aidan adores her.  So it's exceptionally hot! 

Ahhhhh!   Aidan was strong and exactly who Essie needed, but dang her!!!!!  It was killing me to read their story.  I'm thankful she had her brother's old friend and partner to lean on but needed her to recognize what she had with Aidan was special.  

A great line from this book was, "Love is imperfect.  You just have to know what level of crazy you're willing to accept from someone you share a bed with."

Isn't that the truth! This book moved quickly and I found myself not wanting to put it down. I couldn't inhale it fast enough and I had to know the ending to their story!!  It was sweet, sexy and I adored it.  Cole did a fantastic job with Aidan and Essie's story and now that both books are out, I highly suggest them because book 1 was holy cliffhanger! But this book was great!

Aidan 

Of course it was never going to be perfect. 

Of course it was always going to be wrong. 

When Essie Floyd snuck out of his apartment in the early hours of the morning, Aidan Callahan pretended he was still out cold. The truth was he’d never even fallen asleep. How could he, when the girl he should never have developed feelings for, a girl he never thought he’d get, was finally lying in his arms? 

It was obvious she was going to run. 

Ever since she walked into his office, she’s playing games. 

Now only one question remains: 

Will she stop playing long enough to realize this thing between them is real? 

ESSIE 

How could she do it? 

How could she enjoy it? 

Guilt is a wicked thing. It will never leave Essie be. It’s not the intense, incredible sex that’s tearing her apart, though. Sex has always been a weapon, a tool, something to be used as and when necessary. No, it’s not the sex. 

It’s how she felt when Aidan was inside her. How she felt when he kissed her so deeply. How safe she felt when she woke in his arms. 

Her wretched heart has betrayed her, and not only that. It’s betrayed her brother, too. Now, the only way to make amends is to focus on her original plan: 

She must break Aidan Callahan at all costs. If she doesn’t, she’ll never be able to forgive herself.
