Burn For Me

Posted: November 5, 2014

The world discovered a serum that brings out the magic in everyone, realizing what they had done, the serum was destroyed. Now powerful magic families marry and have children to keep the magic strong and maintain power.

Nevada has almost no magic, she can spot a lie but that is about it. Nevada and her family run a private investigations firm. Though it's a family firm she is the only one licensed and works all the cases, the rest of her family is too young or injured. The firm is Nevada's baby she has worked her whole life to make it successful.

When her business is threatened she is forced to work for a powerful family to find a Prime, a Prime is a very powerful mage. The Prime she is suppose to find controls fire and is running from the police, when he is not burning down buildings. Knowing the chances of surviving are low, Nevada refuses the case. The only problem is the family who owns the loan on her business is the one requesting she take the case so she is left with no choice. It doesn't take her long to discover that one of the most powerful Primes in the world Mad Rogan is also searching for him. This immediately decreases her life expectancy to almost none.

Taking the smart route Nevada works with Mad Rogan to find the missing Prime. As the case becomes more dangerous things begin to heat up between them making things dangerous in more than one way.

I really enjoyed the idea of the magic serum and the effect it had on the world. The way very powerful people try to keep the magic and breed it stronger, without regard for those less powerful than them. Nevada is a smart hard working girl who refuses to let rich, sexy and powerful sway her from her purpose or course. Mad Rogan is powerful and doesn't hesitate to do what he must to find his query. Mad Rogan has known power and death all his life and it's fun to read how he doesn't understand Nevada's moral dilemmas. Some concepts are just strange to him. He seems like a decent guy, just different.

BURN FOR ME is book one in the Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews and I am looking forward to the next one. It has everything you could ask for in an urban fantasy, a creative world where humans and magic worker live together, powerful families, sexy, men and the strong female character working hard to care for those she loves. BURN FOR ME is a don't miss book.

Book Summary

#1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews launches a brand-new Hidden Legacy series, in which one woman must place her trust in a seductive, dangerous man who sets off an even more dangerous desire . . .

Nevada Baylor is faced with the most challenging case of her detective career—a suicide mission to bring in a suspect in a volatile situation. Nevada isn't sure she has the chops. Her quarry is a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, who can set anyone and anything on fire.

Then she's kidnapped by Connor "Mad" Rogan—a darkly tempting billionaire with equally devastating powers. Torn between wanting to run and wanting to surrender to their overwhelming attraction, Nevada must join forces with Rogan to stay alive.

Rogan's after the same target, so he needs Nevada. But she's getting under his skin, making him care about someone other than himself for a change. And, as Rogan has learned, love can be as perilous as death, especially in the magic world.
