Discover New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Anne Marsh's sexy SEALs series!

One jump puts it all on the line....

Former SEAL Rio Donovan is 100 percent pure, sensual trouble. Home from the front lines, he has a new mission: fighting fire as a smoke jumper. He won't back down from the flames or a dare and he loves putting it all on the line when he parachutes into the heart of a wildland fire. When the fire camp gets a much-needed new player, however, Rio lands in uncharted territory. The jump team's newest member is sexy, strong - and female. She's supposed to be just one of the boys, but Rio burns to claim her one heated kiss at a time. This jump, Rio Donovan's putting it all on the line. Body and heart.

Into the fire...and into love

Kissing a fellow smoke jumper would be career suicide and Gia Jackson has worked too hard and too long to earn her spot on the jump team to jeopardize it all now for a man. The love-em-and-leave-em boys of summer aren't her type and she's hiding a few secrets of her own, but, when her chute tangles with Rio's on a jump, he's thrown into her arms. Literally. She's held firm on the fireline for years - but can she hold the line now against Rio's seductive charm?

Has Great Potential

This is not my easiest review to write and it is very difficult to lay out all the problems I encountered without re reading the book. What I can say off the top of my head is that Burns so Bad starts off very promising. Anne Marsh builds the scene and paints the players very well. She knows enough facts about smoke jumping to make for great visualisation and believability. The dance scene at Ma's Bar is great and puts the reader in a front row seat. I loved how it was written. The dialogue is strong, believable, and witty. Alway a plus.

Sadly when we reach the 20% mark things begin coming apart. The spelling, tense lapses, and repetition begin causing enough distraction to impact reading pleasure. By the 50 % mark the story is not just bordering on overly repetitive but it becomes contradictory and continuity suffers. One moment X person has A viewpoint, and then suddenly it switches 180 degrees. Things really start to get confusing when the drug runners enter the picture. The scenes are no longer clearly delineated and some parts are skimmed over while others are overly described.

All in all this reads as a very good first draft of what could be a really great book. I would suggest that the author take another look at it and then do some reworking and have a couple of proof-readers take a look at it. I ready hope she does because this really could be a very enjoyable read.

Good story, but it felt like a rough draft

I think I'd give this 2.5 Stars. I really liked the story, but I kept getting lost. The perspectives alternated so often I got whiplash. There were many things I didn't understand, also. The backstory was rushed and didn't make much sense for either of them, and none of the secondary characters had any substance. It was like the author would add in characters for variety and then forget she had added them. It says this is book one, but by the rushed pseudo-explanations, I really hope I missed the books that came before.

Basically, it's a lovely start to what could be a fabulous story.
