Book Description
From the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of the fantastic Nightwalkers novels comes a sizzling new series with an otherworldly twist.
Product Description
Cast aside after her mother was tried and executed for treason by her volatile father, Ambrea Vas Allay has lived in exile for much of her life. Once raised amidst opulence and luxury, the proud and regal Ambrea - the exiled heir to the Allay throne - is watched closely by the emperor's network of spies. Now being offered a chance at freedom, at the cost of denouncing her blood and right to the throne, Ambrea hesitates to take it . . . until a mysterious, incendiary man enters her world. A man whose secret powers have already caused destruction in his life. Betrayed by those he cared about the most, his embittered hard exterior refuses to allow anyone in. Yet, despite his reluctance, he and Ambrea forge a fragile bond . . . one that could finally free them both from their tragic pasts.

Frank is back on track - another winner!

Ambrea Vas Allay is disinherited heir to the throne of Allay. Ambrea now age twenty-six, has been an exile and/or a prisoner since she was 4 years old. Her mother, was executed as a traitor by her father, who accused her of conspiring to kill him. When she is summoned to return to Allay, she fears that her father is planning to execute or imprison her again. She is shocked to find out that her father is dead and her half-brother is now the Emperor. Controlled by their uncle who is the regent for the new Emperor, he wants her to sign a document that renouncing all claim to the throne of Allay and giving up her name. Although she has always been a prisoner she will not give up her heritage. She is sent to the catacombs again, an infamous prison where many died without ever being tried for any crime. There has never been an escape from the catacombs but Ambrea is determined that she will not give up her right to the throne; she is the rightful heir and they cannot kill her without the Interplanetary Militia launching an investigation.
Ambrea's imprisonment is enlivened when a new prisoner is brought to the catacombs, a Tarian male who was huge and stronger than anyone she had ever seen. The guards could not control him and finally they used 3 stunners to knock him out and get him into a cell. Rush "Ender" Blakely is actually a member of the elite force of the IM, his mission is to help the princess escape. Ender has his own power, he can control and call fire, he has always hid his ability because the only time he used it, his village turned on him and tried to kill him.
After Ambrea is rescued, with the help of the IM she contests the right of heir to the throne of Allay, particularly since her half brother is now dead, and her Uncle is the only remaining heir. Ambrea is declared the new Empress but she knows that she is in extreme danger from her uncle and other political threats to her leadership. The IM can bring her home and see that she is declared Empress but they have to leave afterward. The only person she trusts is Ender.
Ender has agreed to help her, by becoming her bodyguard, until she is able to set up her own trusted people and run the country on her own. But Ambrea and Ender have a lot of energy between them. They can never be just friends!
This was a great action packed read and I enjoyed it. I can't wait for the next story. It was all good!

I wanted to love it
14 Aug 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed the first Three Worlds novel, Seduce Me in Dreams, so I was very excited for the second book in this series, especially because it was about Ender (also known as Rush in this book) who is a massive, quiet Tarian who has a knack for explosives. He was a bit of a mystery in the first book, and I wanted to find out more.
We start off Seduce Me in Flames with the heiress to the Allayan empire, Ambrea, thrown into captivity by her uncle when she won't relinquish her future crown. Ambrea stays strongs and refuses to give in to her uncle, even while locked away in the inescapable "wet rooms". While being held captive, a huge Tarian is brought in and placed in the cell across from her. She is immediately intrigued by this stranger, especially as he flirts with her and calls her "Blue Eyes". He claims that he can help her escape from the wet rooms, and she decides that now is the time to stand up and take what is rightfully hers. After their escape she realizes that the Tarian (Rush) is actually a member of the IM (Interplanetary Militia) who have rescued her to place her rightfully on her throne. Soon though, things get complicated between Rush and Ambrea when she discovers a secret that he has kept hidden for years, even from his teammates.
I wanted to love it, but I just didn't. The Rush (Ender) in this book was like a completely different character from the Rush in the first book. The only thing that was the same was his physical description and the fact that he liked explosives. In this book he was sort of annoying to me. First he was all confident and cool, flirting with Ambrea and helping her escape. Then the second they get with the rest of the team he was mean and edgy to her, for no reason. Then when she discovers his secret he just gets insecure... very insecure. And I'm sorry, but there is nothing that is less sexy than insecurity to that degree in a leading male character. It was honestly hard to read sometimes. I just wanted him to get over it.
Ambrea was alright, but she didn't stick out in my mind at all. I will forget her character tomorrow most likely.
I was upset that Ms. Frank did not delve more into the relationship between Rush and Justice (I love Justice!). There could have been a great scene there when he finally tells her about his ability, because apparently we learn in the epilogue that she was upset at him for not trusting him, but we never get to see the confrontation there.
Another thing, I love all the characters from the last book, and it was great to see them here, especially Ophelia, but the whole Bronse and Rave story line didn't add to the plot of the book at all. Great to see them pregnant, but the whole crazy sex symptom freak out was sort of unneccasary.
Lastly, and this may not apply for anyone else, but I was reading this with a Kindle app on my phone, and it was extremely hard to read at times because the paragraphs were very long.

Missed the sensuality in the book
4 Oct 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I found that this book is not quite like Ms. Frank's other books I have read, and I have read many, as she is one of my favorite authors. Even though I found this book to be not quite up to par in the sensual scenes compared to some of her other steamy books, I still very much enjoyed this book. She managed to pull you right into her hero of all alpha male without the zesty scenes. I mean, when Ms. Franks finally got to a steamy scene, it is not until around page 236 of the book, and it was well worth the wait. I loved Ambrea. She was a gentle person yet there was power in her and the girl did have brains. She did need protection from those who wished her ill will due to they wanted to be Emperor, and Rush, the alpha hero in this book, certainly provided that. He was nicknamed "Ender" because he basically ended one's life. I found this book to be an enjoyable read and would recommend it to others. Do not let the lack of steamy scenes hold you back from reading this book. I did not. I gave it four stars, however, because of the lack of steamy scenes and that is the only reason.
