I think it could all have been explained in a few pages and in a different manner that didn't slow down the pace.However, once the cruise begins the pace picks up and remains pretty steady through the rest of the book. Then, the chapters leading up to when Jenner wins the lottery seem sort of extraneous. You're sort of lost and trying to figure out if you're even in the right place. Starting the book felt like coming into a movie half-way in. It starts out in present time, moves back 7 years to when the main character, Jenner, wins the lottery, and then moves forward to the time leading up to the cruise. I liked the book except for the slow and choppy beginning.
Linda Howard's new hardback "Burn" is about a lottery winner who is on a charity cruise when she's coerced to cooperating with a mysterious (and, of course, gorgeous) man doing surveillance on the man in the stateroom next door. Even if it will mean letting the demon inside him rise and wreak the havoc it was created to make. He won't allow anyone to take her from him. He'll have her, and he'll keep her safe from the threat that looms over her. Knox is used to getting what he wants, and he wants Harper. Unpredictable, elusive and complex, she draws Knox and his inner demon like nothing ever has.

And when an unknown danger starts closing in on Harper, it seems that Knox is the only one who can keep her safe.Īs Prime of his Las Vegas lair and a successful businessman, Knox Thorne is used to being in control. No one seems to know what breed of demon Knox is, only that he's more dangerous than anything she's ever before encountered. She's not so sure she wants either of those things. The billionaire also wants Harper in his bed. Compelling, full of secrets and armed with raw sexuality, Knox Thorne is determined to claim her as his anchor, creating a psychic bond that will prevent their inner demons from ever turning rogue. That changes overnight when she discovers that her psychic mate, or 'anchor', is a guy who's rumoured to be the most powerful demon in existence.
