Burn Like An Angel by J. Rose
5.0
"We've all survived sh!t beyond most people's worst nightmares. We can survive this too." - Raine
"It isn't a weakness to be loved. Those connections are actually what makes us strong." - Ripley
"Perhaps we're meant to be a f*cking family." - Xander
"Hatred has kept me safe. Protected. Immune. " - Lennox
I gave the first book in this serie (Sin Like A Devil) 5 stars, so it wasn't a surprise that this book is also a 5 star book for me. A lot has happened in the first book: Ripley and Raine got really close, both Xander and Lennox had a lot of hate towards Ripley (enemies to lovers). They all had to work together to stay alive and that continues in this book.
J. Rose is one my favorite author in general and my favorite dark romance author, a lot of her series are why choose. She has the right balance between character development, mental health and plot. Her writing is unique, poetic and just beautiful. Her books are very plot driven and deal with a lot of heavy topics. Make sure to check the trigger warnings and the reading order for her universe.
About Raine
I absolutely love Raine, he understands Ripley so well. Raine is THE golden retriever, he can talk about his feelings, isn't scared to be vulnerable with Ripley and that really helps her to process her feelings, they have a special relationship. Raine is blind and Ripley and the guys help him navigate in life as a family. Both Ripley and Raine have a special place in my heart.
About Ripley
Now she knows what it feels to be loved, and she deserves that, they all do! She has been let down by a lot of people, it hasn't been easy for her and especially how things are connection with her own family. She is so strong, speaking up about what happened in Harrowdean Manor, allowing herself to fall in love, and she fits in this found family.
About Xander
A lot of his trauma has to do with childhood trauma and his character development was so good. He really made big steps in this book. Feelings are hard and new for him and Ripley helped him heal a part of himself, being loved, having a self chooses family helped them all heal, in their own way.
About Lennox
There was also a lot going on in his head, he will do everything for his family and that showed. Lennox has felt a lot of hatred towards himself and other people, that is how he has always protected himself. It was a lot to process that he didn't hate Ripley as much as he used to in the first book. He saw Ripley and Raine together, and he saw how happy Raine, his best friend was with her. They are all so different with Ripley, but they are so good together.
