Synopsis:
“From a little spark may burst a flame.” ~ Dante Alighieri

A simple ember to dried kindling can ignite a raging fire.


I’ve made my mark and proven my loyalty to a man, a city, and a way of life. That loyalty has provided me with all the spoils of success. Until now that hasn’t included a woman at my side.


What is it about this unobtainable beauty that brings my untapped desire to life?


Cracking open the stone and striking the flint is my doing. What follows is hers.


With something so intense will this spark lead to a blazing inferno? Will we make it out of the ashes before everything I hold dear is ravaged?



SPARK is book one of the WEB OF DESIRE trilogy that continues in FLAME and concludes in ASHES.

My Review:
I was introduced to this author with the Consequences series, but have only read one other by her, that was more of a rom-com than her usual kind of dark romance. But this one grabbed me from the beginning. And even though I knew it was a series, and would probably have a cliffhanger, I can tell you that I did NOT see what was coming.  From the very beginning I wondered what in the world happened to split up Patrick and Madeline.  What would make her go to live, work, be "owned" by the horrible man that we know she works for.  As well as what would cause Patrick to go work for what we know must be an organized crime situation as well.  I guess it is maybe something we'd know if we'd read another series that I think this one branches off from.  Which I haven't read.  While this is definitely a dark romance, in a way, it's not anywhere near as dark, so far, as the first series I read by the author.  In this book our main couple are good people, well, to each other anyway, and so that makes it a bit of an easier read.  For me anyway.  Not that Consequences didn't suck me in and totally win me over to Tony, a total bad guy.  It wasn't just the cliffhanger that surprised me, but other events within the story that I didn't see coming, at least not the way they happened. I had other expectations and guesses as the story went along, and for the most part, I was not right about any of them, not really.  And I love that!  It kept me guessing and reading till the very end.  Of course now I'm left hanging and waiting for the next book!

Flame
Web of Desire #2

“What matters most is how you walk through the fire.” ~ Charles Bukowski 


No longer simmering and crackling beyond our realm, the fire smoldering in the distance roars to life. The blaze has the capacity to scorch and destroy everything and everyone in its path.  

All that I’ve known and believed was obliterated the moment Madeline spoke a truth I’d never suspected. With one sentence, one plea, my life has taken an uncharted turn. Through the smoke and soot, I search for answers.

A man, an outfit, and my brothers-in-arms have been my solace, my calling, and my reason to live. Now that I know there’s more, what will the future hold? 

The Ivanov bratva wants Chicago. I want what they possess. With the Sparrow world at war, and Madeline’s declaration, she and I are surrounded, trapped by the inferno. 

What will remain when the flames cease and we are left surveying the ashes?
