RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

FLAME was a nice steamy romance with characters that really got under my skin!

Darin acts like a complete idiot who finally comes to his senses at the end of this book and tells Flame that he loves her. Moore did a great job creating Darin’s character—as mad as he kept making me, I still wanted Darin to end up with Flame because I knew he would make her happy. Flame is a wonderful heroine—she takes charge of every aspect of her life from how she dresses to how she makes love. Moore really captured the essence of a woman scorned—all of the females in this book are very relatable and women you don’t want to make mad.

And I was really glad that {{Spoiler...I'm not naming names *G*}} turned out to be the stalker at the end of the book because I loved hating her!
