What I’m Reading: BURN FOR ME by Ilona Andrews

9780062289230_0ce7fIlona Andrews, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Kate Daniels and The Edge series, comes to HarperCollins with Burn for Me, the first book in a new romantic urban fantasy series featuring action-packed fights, awe-inspiring magic, and toe-curling romance.

Nevada Baylor runs her family’s investigation business, specializing in tracking down insurance fraud and cheating spouses.  Her gift of sensing lies—along with her no-holds-barred attitude—makes her especially adept at closing cases.  But when the larger firm that owns the Baylor Investigative Agency forces her to accept a particularly dangerous case, Nevada finds herself drawn into the machinations of Houston’s most powerful families and needs some additional muscle to help her survive the coming fight.  Enter, the extremely powerful (and sexy) ex-military super soldier Connor “Mad” Rogan, who can level an entire city and smolder like you wouldn’t believe.   Together, Nevada and Rogan race to capture the fire-wielding son of a powerful family gone rogue and save the city from the imminent conflagration. 

I loved the sometimes hostile, sometimes sizzling repartee between Nevada and Rogan and the promise of more delectable encounters throughout the series.  But the magic and world-building are as equally intriguing as the romance.  Nevada is a great heroine: she’s independent, kicks serious butt, can stand up to the overwhelming Rogan, and is only just beginning to uncover the full potential of her unique magic.  The series is sure to be just as sexy and thrilling as readers have come to expect from Ilona Andrews, and I can’t wait to discover what the husband and wife writing team has in store for Nevada.
