REVIEW: Fury on Fire by Sophie Jordan

Fury on Fire by Sophie Jordan: Faith has taken care of her dad and brothers since her mom died. She’s been happy to do so, but it’s also time to finally be more independent. She’s thrilled to move into her own home. Hopefully, she’ll also have more opportunities to date without her overprotective family watching her so closely.

North loves his townhouse. He craves the ability to live alone and know he doesn’t need to constantly worry and always be on guard. He’s made a good life for himself and he’s starting to get more work for his side business of welding art pieces on commission.

Faith immediately tries to be a good neighbor, but North rebuffs her at every turn. He wants to simply keep to himself and stay on the right side of the law. He’s not looking to be friends.

“I got this now.”
Something snapped inside her. Her temper finally let loose. “Do you?” she called after his back. “Do you got this?”
Because clearly there are other things he did not get. Since the day she moved in there were several things he did not get.

There is a sizzling attraction that both are reluctant to act on for their own reasons. They are determined to stay away from each other, but a few things happen that change how they interact. Their relationship evolves from antagonism to flirty banter as they get to know each other.

“Things would go much smoother if you just went ahead and let this happen between us.”
“You arrogant-”
“Not arrogant.” His smirk vanished as he closed the distance between them, stopping directly in front of her. “You and I are going to collide.” He allowed a fraction of space between them. “That’s where this train has been headed since the moment you moved in here.”

Fury on Fire is a sexy and engaging opposites attract story. Sophie Jordan does a good job developing the characters and relationships. Ms. Jordan builds the tension and anticipation with every interaction. Fury on Fire can be read as a standalone book in the Devil’s Rock series. Fans of J.B. Salsbury and the Vicious Cycle series by Katie Ashley will enjoy Fury on Fire.

When you live next door to the big bad wolf . . .

After years in prison, North Callaghan is finally free. But the demons haunting him still make him feel like a caged beast. He loses himself in work and hard living, coming up for air only to bed any willing woman to cross his path. So when his new neighbor snares his interest, he decides to add another notch to his bedpost. The only problem? Faith Walters is a white picket fence kind of girl.

Prepare to be devoured.

Faith’s new neighbor is the rudest man alive. He’d rather grunt at her than speak and he takes her “welcome-to-the-neighborhood” scones without a thank you. She knows she should run for the hills from the ex-con. If only he weren’t so smoldering sexy…if only the sounds of him with other women didn’t drift through their shared wall and fill her with longing…and if only he didn’t look at her like they were a collision waiting to happen.
