Editoral Review
R.J. Lewis’ Burn is a steamy romance novel that will leave readers wanting more. The novel, published on January 28, 2014, is a contemporary romance that falls under the New Adult genre.
Lewis is a well-known author, having penned several other romance novels that have achieved critical acclaim. The novel takes place in present-day New York City and follows the story of Jamie Lansing, a fashion blogger who is struggling to make it in the big city.
When she meets the handsome and enigmatic billionaire, Luke Elias, her life takes a dramatic turn. The two are immediately drawn to each other, and their passion heats up quickly.
But as their relationship deepens, they both have to confront their past traumas and insecurities, which threaten to tear them apart. The plot is focused on the two main characters, Jamie and Luke, and their tumultuous romance.
While the setting is contemporary New York City, the plot centers around the personal lives of the characters, making it an intimate narrative. The pacing is quick, and the story keeps the reader engaged with twists and turns, even if some plot points go in predictable directions.
Overall, the plot, while not revolutionary, is captivating. In terms of character development, Lewis does a decent job, particularly with Jamie.
Although Luke is an interesting character, the focus remains on Jamie throughout the novel. Readers will be intrigued by her backstory and her development as her relationship with Luke continues.
Other minor characters in the novel add depth and context to the story but are not particularly memorable. As for writing style, Lewis has a flair for prose, using vivid language to portray scenes and emotions.
The novel is beautifully written, and readers will find it hard to put down once they start. However, the dialogue can sometimes feel stilted, making some conversations seem strange and unnatural.
Burn does have some limitations, mostly related to the genre. Certain plot points and tropes are common in the New Adult genre and are present in this novel too.
However, while fans of the genre will likely enjoy the novel, readers looking for something more groundbreaking may be disappointed. In conclusion, Burn is a well-written contemporary romance novel that fans of the genre will surely enjoy.
While it may not push the boundaries of the genre or offer anything particularly new or intriguing, its strong characters, beautiful writing, and engaging plot make for an enjoyable read. The novel is a perfect choice for readers looking for a steamy romance to pass the time.
Based on its quality, I would give Burn a score of 7 out of 10.
