The Sweetest Burn (Broken Destiny #2)Author: Jeaniene Frost
Release Date June 27, 2017
Publisher: HQN Books
Description:
The breathtaking second novel in New York Times bestselling
author Jeaniene Frost’s Broken Destiny series finds Ivy and Adrian
rekindling their alliance—and passion—as the struggle for the fate of
the world begins…
Conquering a supernatural realm turned out to be easier
than getting over a broken heart. But her initial victory has made Ivy a
target for revenge, forcing her to reunite with the dangerous—and
dangerously sexy—Adrian. Ivy isn’t sure which will be harder: finding
the hallowed weapon that will repair the crumbling walls between the
demon and human realms, or resisting Adrian, who’s decided that come
hell or high water, he will make Ivy his.
At first, Adrian tried to resist his feelings for Ivy.
Now, determined to break the curse that dooms their love, he’s vowed to
save her and to have her. If only he can persuade her to forgive his
past sins. But defying destiny—and surrendering to the smoldering desire
between them—will bring consequences and sacrifices they never
imagined…
“Frost scores another win with the mesmerizing
second Broken Destiny supernatural contemporary… The novel thrums with
energy, its pacing breakneck from the very start, and piles on the
sexual tension. Frost provides a much-needed inventive boost to the
tired angel/demon subset of supernatural fantasy.” –Publishers Weekly

“Ivy.” The low, resonant way Adrian said my name made shivers roll
over me, although I’d rather die than let him know that. “It’s good to
see you.” 
I didn’t want to be, but I was glad to see him, too, and for more reasons than him knowing exactly how to take out Snake Arms. I’d tried to talk myself out of feeling anything for Adrian during the two months since he’d admitted that he had betrayed me and then disappeared. Told myself that what I’d thought I felt for him had been due to the extreme circumstances we’d found ourselves in mixed with the temptation of forbidden fruit. Some days, when I only dwelled on the cold logic of the situation, I even believed it. The fact that Adrian had made no attempt to contact me seemed to support that theory. And now, after all this time, he thought that showing up, smiling and flashing me a smoldering look would make everything okay?
“Yeah?” I said, turning my back on him. “Well, now you’ve seen me.” And I walked away from him. “I wouldn’t stay here, if I were you,” I threw over my shoulder at Adrian. “There’s a gateway on the beach. I glimpsed the demon realm only seconds before Snake Arms and his friends came out of it.”
“Where?” he asked, catching up to me all too quickly.
“About four blocks this way,” I said, cursing myself because now, he had a good reason to keep walking with me.
He reached over, touching my arm. “Ivy, wait—”
“Now, that’s funny,” I interrupted, jerking away. “Is that what you thought? That I’d just wait for you until you felt like showing up again?”
“You asked me to go,” Adrian said, his voice roughening with frustration. “In fact, you insisted, remember?”
I began to walk faster. “Who wouldn’t need a little time after finding out that you’d lied to me about my real destiny? Then, you didn’t even try to make up for what you’d done. No, you disappeared for months without a single word. You knew when I started this that I thought everything would be fine if I used David’s hallowed, Goliath-slaying slingshot to save my sister.
But after I almost died doing that, you dropped the bomb that it was only step one in a destiny I couldn’t avoid, remember?”
Don’t even get me started on step two and three of my supposedly unavoidable destiny, where fate said that Adrian would literally be the death of me.
He sighed, running his hand through his hair. The front was still longer than the back, and the ocean breeze tousled those thick, dark gold waves. His silver-ringed eyes were deep blue, and even when he scowled, it highlighted lips both full and completely masculine. Adrian was as gorgeous as he was dangerous; another sign of fate’s cruel sense of humor when it came to our opposing destinies.
