"When Hearts Ignite" wow, did it ignite something in me! From the get-go, I had this hunch that Steven was going to be my absolute favorite leading man from Victoria Lum's books, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. He's got this charisma that just oozes from the pages, not to mention the way he handles everything with that billionaire finesse. His control? Oh boy, it's like he's got the world on a string until Grace walks into his life. He was also lonely, isolated, and totally thrown into work until Grace.. See two sides to every coin!

And speaking of Grace, can we just take a moment to appreciate her? She's a breath of fresh air, and I found myself rooting for her from the very beginning. The way Lum sets up their relationship is just so spot-on. There's this perfect balance of space and intimacy, and the banter between them? Pure gold. Steven's dirty mouth and the way he calls Grace "darling" had me SWOONING over him!

Now, let's talk about that twist. I would be lying if I said I didn't see it coming but Lum threw in this unexpected curveball that had me reeling!!!!! A twist on a twist if you will! I won't spoil it, but let me just say, hold onto your hats because it's a wild ride.

Overall, "When Hearts Ignite" was a great read. Lum knows how to keep you hooked from start to finish, and I love how this book sets itself apart from the rest of the series. Trust me, once you dive into it, you'll see exactly why it stands out.
