Crossing a line has never felt this good.

I’m what you’d call a good girl—at least that’s what my family thinks. But I’m tired of living by everyone
else’s rules. So when I sneak into a scandalous, masked costume party and spot Beau Walker—my
longtime crush and my family’s sworn enemy—I do something bold: I cross the one line that’s utterly
forbidden.

Hidden by shadows and masks, we lose ourselves in the hottest night of my life. Until I accidentally
moan his name, and everything comes crashing to a halt.

Beau says things I can’t forget, and my fantasy of him shatters along with my heart.
But when suspicious fires break out at the high school where I teach, I’m forced to see the one
firefighter I wish I could forget.

And when our long-smoldering tension finally ignites, the heat between us lights up the sky—and
reveals a danger neither of us saw coming

Burning Skies is an enemies-to-lovers, forbidden romance that features a scorchingly hot firefighter
and the little sister of his long-time nemesis. If you enjoy cowboy families, old vendettas, and small
towns brimming with secrets, this one is for you!

*****5 Absolutely Perfect Stars*****

I have been lucky enough to read Lex Martin’s books for over 11 years now. And I do mean lucky. Because I truly think that I am one lucky girl for finding her books all those years ago because it brought me to one of my all-time favorite authors. Picking up that first book of hers over 11 years ago brought me to a world of characters that have stolen pieces of my heart again and again with each new book this author releases. It was one tiny decision that brought me to an author who has delivered some of the most incredible and impeccable romances that I have had the pleasure of reading. So I am very lucky that I’ve had the opportunity to read books by Lex Martin over the last 11+ years because her books are some of my all-time favorites. Her books have given me everything with her characters. Her books have delivered unforgettable love stories that I still think about. Her books have just been everything. Everything and so much more.

Burning Skies, book 3 in her Wild At Heart Series, was another prime example of why I absolutely LOVE every single book that I’ve had the pleasure reading by this author. I mean this was Lex Martin goodness. Plain and simple. It was swoony, it was suspenseful, it was small town amazingness. It was full of high levels of tension filled heat and connection between these characters, so much incredible heart and fire, and just a love that was born out of so much beauty and hard fought trust. Lex Martin once again threw me and my heart right into the thick of it with her characters, and I just loved it. I loved every damn word of this book and the experience I got with Honey and Beau as their love story unfolded.

I truly could not have asked for more.

This book very much gives off star crossed lovers in the most perfect way. Add in an enemies to lovers twist to that vibe, and your heart will be feeling EVERY emotion under the sun while experiencing the story with Honey and Beau and you will be LIVING for it. I promise you that. This couple and their families have years of strife between them. They are not supposed to be together. They are not supposed to want each other or like each other or even tolerate each other, but Beau and Honey can’t help but feel every damn thing for each other. Their connection is undeniable, the pull they have to one another is fierce and tangible, and the way that they just make each other feel like no one else ever has before is indescribable. Really it’s so very telling because these two may be wrong and forbidden for each other in all kinds of way on paper, but they could not be more perfect for one another when it comes to their hearts, their desires, and the truth of them, their souls, and their undeniable feelings.

I don’t think I could have loved Beau and Honey more than I did in this book. I just loved the two of them. Fiercely. I loved that from the start things felt so different between them. You could tell that even though these two were not supposed to want each other, they couldn’t help but feel everything for one another. They couldn’t help but know that there was something so inherently different about each other that truly made all the difference. And that something truly meant everything as they decided to risk it all for one another.

I loved that even though the odds were stacked against them, even though they had their families and years of history breathing down their necks, they stood strong. They stood strong in their taking of chances and risks, they stood strong in their hope for the future, and they stood strong in the belief in what they shared, in their hearts, and in each other. Sure they had their human moments of all of the emotions as they processed everything that came their way, but they never once wavered in the belief that the other was the one person who changed everything. That the other was the one person who made them feel everything. That the other was the one person who they would never, ever be able to forget or move past. That the other was someone that would always be in their heart and soul. They never wavered in the knowledge that the other was someone who left a permanent impression on their heart that they never wanted to have go away.

And that made all the difference for these two. It made every difference. Because it just showed the truth and the heart and the utter beauty of Beau and Honey and everything they felt for one another. It showed such real and vibrant authenticity and feeling from them that truly knew no bounds.

The way that you’re able to connect into that emotion, to that connection with Beau and Honey, and the way that you just feel every breath of that is absolutely wonderful in this book. It makes for a hell of a love story, but more than that, it just makes for a love story and a couple you believe in with everything you have. You can’t help but love these two, the goodness that emanates from the two of them, and you just can’t help but want and need with your very being for them to find a way. Couple that with the fact that he’s a fireman with a protective side and a heart of gold, she’s a teacher with a beautiful sense of determination and so much care and love to give the world, and the fact they just can’t help but poke at each other until the inevitable explosion that brings them to the place they were always meant to be, and you have a story that you will be owned by. I know I was and I truly can’t say enough how much I loved being owned this book, this couple, and the journey I got to go on with them.

Lex Martin just completely envelops you within this world, within this incredible small town in a way that has you living and breathing the story. She shows you how high the stakes are for this couple with the past that their characters and their families share. She lets you understand the struggle these characters experience as they try to make sense and way through all of the emotion and connection they share, while also trying to balance what that means with their families and what comes next. She allows you to understand the struggles and the hiccups that come their way as they navigate they’re very real feelings for each other, but they’re also very complicated circumstances. She allows you to understand what holds them back, what pushes them forward, what ultimately brings them to the places that they are desperately hoping to be together and it just connects you to their story in the most unforgettable way.

It all makes for a reading experience that just feels real. A reading experience that feels like you’re living and breathing these moments with these characters. It makes for a reading experience that is enjoyable and just amazing because you are in the heart of the book with this couple, believing in them, fighting for them, and just rooting for them with your whole heart. That level of connection, that level of heart, and that level of emotion you feel and get with these characters as you’re experiencing their story is truly indescribable with how wonderful it is. It amplifies everything you experience with these characters over the course of their story and it just has you loving everything. Every high, every low, every misstep, every celebration, every moment that makes your toes curl, your heart flutter, and your soul melt. You love it all because you’re so fully connected to these characters, that you understand it all, you get it all, and you just believe in it all with this couple and what they share.

All of that is a true testament to the writing talent that Lex Martin has. You just can’t help but love and relate to and just feel everything for this couple because her words create that and give that to you through every single page of what she creates. You can’t help but live this story with them and it’s everything. Absolutely everything. It’s everything to feel that connected to them because it just pulls every part of you into their story in a way that invests you wholeheartedly in the love they are building, the trust they are sharing, and the moments of love and vulnerability and beauty that come to life in front of you.

Getting to experience that as a romance reader and a lover of love stories is something I don’t take for granted, and it is something that I truly treasured while reading this book because it allowed me to get everything with this couple in a way that I know I won’t forget.

This series, just like every other series by this author, has burrowed itself so deep into my heart with how much I love all of these characters and the world that this author has created. It just feels right. It feels like a place I want to spend time in. It feels like a place where really good things can happen. It’s also a place that perfectly weaves together swoon and suspense and so much heart that I literally cannot get enough of.

This world of characters have just stolen my whole heart with every book and every new book I get with them just makes me love them more. I love their friendships, I love their family dynamics, I love the way they show up for each other again and again. I love that in this small town history has a way of always repeating itself, yet these characters are trying to break the binds of the past that threaten the things they love most. I love how dynamic all of these characters are, I love that they’re willing to change their opinions of what they thought was true and what they thought they knew when given the opportunity, even when it’s hard. I love that this world of characters are complex and human and vulnerable and just a fun time to be around.

Even when things are going crazy in this small town, even when these characters are trying to figure it all out, even when no one knows what comes next and they’re feeling all of the things, these characters show up for each other. They love each other. They push each other‘s buttons, they fight, but they also love. Hard. And just getting to see each and every one of them over the course of this series is absolutely incredible. It just makes me love this world even more and it has me desperate for every new moment and story and interaction with all these characters because I just LOVE them all. I feel like I’m a part of their crazy families and I never want to leave them because that’s just how much this author has allowed me to love and experience them all and every moment with them. I can’t wait for every story to come from this world and small town because I am ready for it all!

Simply put, Burning Skies by Lex Martin is one of my favorite books I have read this year. It’s only 2 1/2 weeks into the year and I know that this will be one of the best books that I read this year because of everything that I got to experience with this couple and because every bit of their dynamic and fun and emotional love story was incredible. It was just everything. It was more than everything because I just got to live this story with this couple, believing in them with my whole heart, and just loving them through it all. The way that they show up for each other, the way that they feel absolutely everything for each other, and the way that it all unfolds is so them, so right, and just so perfect. I truly could not have asked for more.

Lex Martin delivers a phenomenal love story that checks all the boxes. She gives you star crossed lovers that may start off as enemies, but end up as so much more. She gives you small town goodness and gossip and suspense that will keep you on your toes through every turn of that page. She gives you so much heart and connection and unadulterated fire that will simultaneously have you melting, swooning, and reaching for that fan because you’ll be feeling that fire and feels in every way, shape, and form with this couple. She gives you two authentic and genuine characters, who have such beautiful hearts of gold laced with vulnerability, who are bound and determined to break every rule because they have to find a way to be together. She gives you a story of two people whose love truly feels like fireworks in the night sky; beautiful and effervescent, mesmerizing and emotional, and just full of joy and a vibrancy that last long past the moments they fall away, leaving a beautiful glow behind in their wake.

Beau and Honey put on the most dazzling and authentic display in that night sky in this book. And honestly you will be enamored with every single moment you get with them as you experience what they share together as you watch them build a love that can never be diminished. It’s real, it’s beautiful, and it’s everything. But most importantly, it’s them. Through every page, through every moment, through every emotion, it’s them and their love in the truest and most real way that can never be denied.

This book is a beautiful story from start to finish, packed with impeccable writing and characters, and more swoon and fire and heart than you can shake a stick at.

Meet Lex Martin:
Lex Martin is the USA Today bestselling author of Varsity Dads, Texas Nights, and the Dearest series. She writes contemporary romance novels, the steamy kind she hopes readers love but her parents avoid.

She’s always been obsessed with writing, starting in elementary school when she would pen short stories and make her father read them. (Afterward, he’d have to take her tests, but he was a good sport and did them without complaint.)​

In high school, when she wasn’t playing basketball, she wrote emo poetry (that won awards, go figure) and worked on the school newspaper.​

She later became a nationally-certified high school English teacher and freelance journalist but decided she’d rather write romance novels than tests or city hall articles.​

Lex loves coffee, rom coms, pen hoarding, planners, and college football. She married her almost
college sweetheart (they met right after graduation), and she’s still obsessed with him, especially when he writes her songs.
​
She currently resides in her hometown of San Antonio with her husband, twin daughters, a bunny, and their new puppy. Drop her a line at lex (at) lexmartinwrites.com. She loves hearing from readers.
