She was my nightmare. Every time I closed my eyes, I watched her fall into that inferno. Over and over, I failed to save her.

I hadn’t been able to reach her, and the guilt only burned hotter over time. Four years later, I was the unreachable one.

Heroes aren’t always saints. Sometimes, we’re nothing more than jaded sinners driven by sleepless nights and hearts full of darkness.

And then I met her. She was a dreamer who managed to soothe my scars and heal my wounds.

But, as the flames closed in around us, I feared I wasn’t the right man to save her. That is until I realized she was the one woman I’d burn the world down to protect.

MY REVIEW

I was so thrilled to see Leo and Sarah again. I surprisingly fell in love with them in Broken Course from the Wrecked and Ruined series, a series famous for linking broken and flawed people and helping them find redemption. This was a theme that also ran throughout SINGE and applied to its main characters, Jude and Rhion.

Jude was once a cop in Chicago when one fateful night drastically changed his life forever. He got a call regarding a routine house alarm, but he ended up being the first responder to what turned out to be a raging inferno. His actions that night and the woman who was rescued from that fire continued to haunt him for the next four years.

Rhion was the survivor and she wore her scars like badges of honor. It was impossible not to be impressed or to admire her character. Her true grit. She felt bonded with Jude and recognized that they could heal the souls that were fractured on that horrific night. The love that grew between them was wonderful to watch.

There were elements of suspense and the chemistry between Jude and Rhion made this one heck of an entertaining read and a brilliant introduction to this new series. With a full cast of amazing supportive characters, I can't wait to see what's in store for them ;)
