~Synopsis~
When Knox Wellington opens the door to
Charlie Davenport, he's not expecting the fiery brunette with whiskey colored
eyes and a feisty personality. Sparks fly immediately, even though their
initial meeting is nothing but hostile. Their chemistry is undeniable, but the
chip on Knox's shoulder threatens to destroy any hope of him wooing the sweet,
southern volunteer sent to help with his rehabilitation.
Little does he know she's no Southern Belle, as she gives as good as she can take. As unexpected circumstances push them closer together, heads butt, patience is tested, and flames ignite as they dance around their mutual attraction, both of them jaded from broken pasts.
They've both been burned before, so when their feelings of lust, desire, and wanting are inflamed in the heat of the moment, will they finally be able to get over the pain of the past or will their relationship be reduced to ashes before it can ever really begin?
*While this book is a standalone, characters from Ignite, book 1, will appear in Knox's story.

~Excerpt~
Right before I exit the room, Knox
sticks his head out of the glass door in his shower. “Not sticking around for
the show?” he asks as he rubs shampoo into his hair one-handed.
I try to look as indifferent as possible, but the sight of his wet skin has me fighting the urge to lick my lips. “There’s nothing special in here that I haven’t seen before. I’ll be in the kitchen heating up dinner for you. Just shout when you need me,” I tell him.
I start to walk down the hallway when I hear him yell my name. I head back towards the bathroom, wondering what he could possibly want now.
“You yelled?” I ask. He mumbles something from behind the glass door, and I ask him to repeat himself, but I still can’t hear him. Moving closer, I knock on the glass, expecting him to peek his head out. Instead, the door swings open, and there stands Knox, naked, wet, and mouth-wateringly gorgeous. And when I say there stands Knox, I mean it. All of him. My eyes can’t help but be drawn to the huge erection he’s sporting, and oh my god, I’m happy to learn that I was right. He’s definitely more than a mouthful.
“Uhh, Charlie, eyes up here,” he teases, interrupting the stare down I’m having with his cock. My eyes slowly wander up his drenched skin, taking in every naked inch. It’s only been three months since I last was intimate with Drew, but the way my panties get soaked as I take in the sight of him makes me feel like I haven’t gotten laid in a decade. Although I got pissed at his initial assessment of my wanting to go home with him that night at the bar, if I had known this body was hiding under those clothes, I might have actually been willing. Reaching his eyes, I notice that the playful look in them from earlier has darkened, and he’s watching me intently.
“Like I said, nothing I’ve never seen before,” I tell him, shrugging with indifference when really I want to strip down and join him.
“Mmmhmm. I saw you checking me out, sweetheart. You don’t have to deny it.”
I’m not admitting shit to him, so I cross my arms and lean against the wall, my eyes not leaving his. As much as I’d like another peek, I’m not letting him win this round.
“What the hell do you want, Knox?” As much fun as it might be to flirt with him, I know better than to go there. For all I know, next time I stop by he’ll be a grump again, and after Drew, I have no desire to be with someone with mood swings.
“I’m out of soap. Can you grab me a bottle from under the sink, please?” he asks, looking innocent. I look around the shower to see if he’s just pulling a fast one on me, but I only see an empty bottle.
“Oh, wow. He does have manners,” I say to myself as I go to get him a new bottle. When I hand it to him, our hands touch and his fingers linger on my skin.
“Thank you, Charlie,” he tells me. “For everything. I know this probably sucks as much for you as it does for me. Well, let’s not go that far. It really sucks more for me, but still, I appreciate you doing this.”
I wave him off. “Don’t worry about it. It’s what I signed up for.” I pause, looking around the bathroom. “Well, maybe not exactly what I signed up for, but I’m here to help and that’s what I’ll do. In a few weeks, your brother will be back and I’ll be out of your hair.”
With that, he takes the bottle out of my hand and gives me one last look, a strange shadow crossing over his face. “Yeah, right. Just doing your job. Got it.” And with that, he shuts the glass door in my face, leaving me, once again, baffled at how hot and cold he’s turning out to be.

~Review~
Wow, wow, wow and another wow, Tessa
Teevan have written another phenomenal book for her readers. Incinerate takes
us into the lives of Knox and Charolette. Here we have a man who have become so
jaded because of his past love, but what he experience with Charolette is
something that not even his past can come close to. Charolette is this strong
woman who have caught her ex in a very incriminating predict ament that will
cause them to break up. Charolette volunteers to help injured army men, a
chance encounter with the two the night before she starts her volunteer work
was one that wasn't as pleasant. Knox opens the front to come face to face with
Charolette, who he wasn't expecting, and this is were the story takes off. Both
of them try to ignore the chemistry between them, but what can they do when
fate have something else in store for them. In the beginning both Knox and
Charolette butt heads so many times, why, because he was being a cranky ass and
she's very head strong. But as time passes their feelings for each other have
grown and they started took open up about their past, Knox have finally opened
up about why he's become so jaded when it comes to a relationship, which caused
Charolette to start to understand why he is the way he is, but what she wasn't
expecting was for him to actually want to start a relationship with her. Since
with every good thing there are challenges, Knox had the challenge of trusting
Charolette, knowing that she would never hurt him. There were times when I
wanted to strangle him but I start to understand he point of view. Not on was
the love story part a huge plus, but there are so many laughable parts to this
book, I absolutely loved the relationship that Charolette had with her father.
I loved the fact that Jace and Lexi played a huge part in Knox's story, and I
love Kale, can't wait to read his and Lucy's story. I could go on and on about
this book because Tessa have quickly become one of my favorite authors and as a
reader you can totally fall in love with her characters. Oh and let's not
forget the sex scenes, bow chicka wowow, they wear HOT, dayyyyyum, that's all I
have to say. The way how Tessa describe very single rip and ripple of Knox's
body, down to way she described his smile, all I needed to hear was dimples.
Overall great book written by Tessa, readers will not be disappointed.
