Buried Flames

De: Kennedy Layne

Narrado por: Rock Engle

Flames of desire spark as the day fills with ash in this breathtaking continuation of the Surviving Ashes series by USA Today best-selling author Kennedy Layne....

Mason Sykes had served many years in the Marine Corps for his country. His loyalty and sacrifice had left him disfigured - inside and out. He didn't harbor regrets, especially since he'd finally found the peace and quiet he'd always desired on a Nebraska farm.

Brenna Helm was a country girl through and through, right down to her cowgirl boots. Her heart had always belonged to the acres of land that had been her family's legacy through multiple generations. She'd only ever loved one thing more, and that was the military man who'd moved back to town a few years ago who'd come home a changed man - one who apparently wanted nothing to do with anyone.

The day the world filled with ash was the day Mason was forced to rise above his scars. Facing death off of the battlefield made him realize what he'd pushed away in the name of compassion, but that was about to change. The flames of desire he'd once felt were about to be reignited, but he first had to get Brenna to safety through the fiery, harsh new world that could claim their lives if they took one wrong step.

Awesome Series!

Kennedy Layne probably comes far closer to reality than fiction in this Surviving Ashes series than we would like to believe. The heartwarming humanity of the main characters in each novel surprises me and makes me think perhaps I'm too cynical when I view my fellow man. When the time comes for our society to fall apart I hope I have people like these on my team! Don't miss this series.

Unsexy grandpa vibes

Having a single series narrator makes it hard to pick 10 different, but still sexy, voices for the 10 MCs. Mason sounds like a grandpa. It doesn’t help that he’s a cranky, anti-social, PTSD suffering jerk.
It also doesn’t help that Brenna sounds like a grandma. When Brenna finally breaks thru his walls
(at over halfway thru this slow burn), he suddenly becomes this big softy, constantly calling her Little One and that amped the grandpa vibes to unacceptable… because she’s not his little grandkid …
she’s supposed to be his love. The nail in the romance coffin was the dramatic voicing of the sex … picture grandma and grandma squealing in ecstasy in the shower scene.

It’s a shame the romance gave so much ick, because the series arc about the mysterious groups converging on their santuary had some good progression in this installment.
