Editoral Review
Scorched by Melody Anne is a thrilling romance novel that was first published on September 25, 2013. Anne is a well-known American author who has produced numerous bestselling romance novels.
Her expertise in the genre is evident in Scorched, which is an electrifying blend of passion, mystery, and suspense. The book tells the story of Faith, a beautiful and successful businesswoman who is on the run from a killer after an attempt is made on her life.
In her quest to unravel the truth behind the murder attempt, she goes to Montana, a place where she can hide and, hopefully, find the answers she seeks. There, she meets a charming man named Connor, who becomes her ally and lover.
Together, they work to uncover the truth while trying to evade the killer who is hot on their trail. Melody Anne’s style is impeccable, and her characters are well-developed, each with their unique personalities and flaws.
The dialogue is snappy and engaging, and the descriptive language used throughout the book is captivating. One of the most significant strengths of the book is the pacing.
The story is a page-turner that is impossible to put down. The way Anne builds the tension and suspense in the novel is nothing short of masterful, and it keeps the reader on the edge of their seat from beginning to end.
The setting of the novel in Montana is also an excellent choice, as it adds a layer of intrigue to the story. The rugged landscape and the small-town feel make for an excellent backdrop to the romantic and suspenseful plot.
However, Scorched is not without its flaws. At times, the plot feels predictable, and the romance between Faith and Connor can feel a bit rushed.
Anne could have spent more time developing their relationship so that it would feel more authentic. Despite these shortcomings, Scorched is an excellent book that is sure to appeal to fans of romance and suspense.
It’s a gripping and emotionally charged story that explores themes of love, trust, and loyalty. Anne’s writing is superb, and her ability to weave together romance and mystery is impressive.
Overall, Scorched earns a score of four out of five stars. It’s an excellent read for anyone who is looking for a thrilling and romantic escape.
Anne’s style is engaging, and the story is well-crafted. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good romance novel with a dash of mystery and suspense.
