Wicked Flames
A Solsti Prophecy Novel
by Sharon Kay
Gin Bonham lives with a dark secret. Born with an ability she never wanted, she builds her life around science and logic, running from the terror she is capable of causing. When sexy stranger Mathias spots her on a dance floor and cuts in, he leads Gin in a sensual rhythm that continues long after the music stops. But Mathias hides the fact that he knows exactly what she can do: in the deepest recesses of her mind lurks the power to manipulate fire. Destiny is coming for her and it doesn’t care if she’s ready or not.
Mathias possesses tracking and espionage skills so extraordinary that his fellow Lash demons call him The Hunter. Pursue and interrogate. He never fails. When he is tasked with coaxing Gin to work with the Lash demons against a common enemy, he relishes the challenge. But meeting her awakens a new, primal drive that pulls him toward her even as his tactics break her heart.
Failing to win Gin’s cooperation is not an option. But she is determined to flee, putting thousands of miles between her and any other supernatural creatures, including Mathias. Can she cool the charred embers of her emotions enough to forgive Mathias and embrace what she was meant to become? Or will her ability explode into something more than she can control?

Excerpt
The distinct buttery smell of pecan
instantly hit his nose. Gin stirred the hot chocolate with cinnamon sticks,
further intensifying the olfactory barrage.
“This smells way better than the
Coffeehouse,” He walked up behind her, admiring the view of her perfect ass in
that tight little dress. Her hair hung long and loose down her back, and he
threaded his hands into it, wanting to touch every inch of her.
She sucked in a breath and turned
to face him, eyes huge. Cradling one mug in her hands, she offered it to him.
“Taste.” Her voice was a strained whisper, a question and an offer combined.
He toyed with the ends of her hair.
“Not first on my tasting list, Ginger.”
Her pulse ticked frantically at the
base of her throat, and her chest rose and fell with uneven breaths.
“Not…first…?”
He took the mug from her and set it
on the counter. “No.” Fuck, she was so gorgeous, standing here all dressed up
for him. Dim light or sunlight, silk or jeans, she glowed with a fiery
sensuality. He planned to explore every nuance of her heat, starting when he
was buried inside her.
Holding her hair to the side, he
kissed her shoulder. Her arms slid up his shoulders to clutch his biceps and a
breathy moan escaped her.
Nipping, he moved to her
collarbone. Her neck. Anywhere but her parted lips, where he knew she wanted
him. He wanted her pliant, defenseless, and begging.
She gave a full-body shudder and
tilted her head.
Pliant,
defenseless, begging. He gripped her hips and traced circles with his
thumbs. “Can you guess what’s at the top of that list?”
“Um…” She blinked, but couldn’t
hide the hunger in her eyes. “List?” Her hands dropped to grip the edge of the
counter behind her.
He brushed his lips across her ear.
“We’re gonna play a game.”
Her eyebrows raised. “What kind?”
“A guessing game.”
“Hmm.” She bit her lip. “Like
twenty questions?”
“Only two questions.”
“What am I guessing?”
“I have something of yours.” He
swept his hands up and down in the air in front of him. “On me.”
Her mouth dropped. “What? When did
you—? Where?” her eyes darted over his chest and arms, and down to his open
hands.
“You get two guesses. For each
wrong guess, I kiss you.”
She folded her arms, pushing her
breasts up and giving him a cock-hardening view of her cleavage. “That doesn’t
sound so bad. How do you know I won’t guess wrong on pur—”
“After two guesses, you have to
find it. Without talking. And you have to keep your eyes closed until you do.”
Her eyes widened. “What if I don’t
find it?”
“You get spanked.”
4.5 Stars
Gin. She's the most stubborn of her sisters, and she wants NOTHING to do with her power. She goes into a restaurant with candles she blows them out. She's looking for a place to live? She makes sure it doesn't have gas burning appliances. She hasn't been around an open flame in years. Why? Because she's scared of what she could do with it. Gin doesn't want to hurt people in fact she wants to help them and she's scared of the gift the could burn someone to death by accident.
Mathias is the best Hunter there is and he's also an expert at persuasion and now he has his toughest assignment yet. Convince a reluctant Solsti to jump on board and start training and preparing with her sisters, by any means necessary. But one look at her and he knows its gonna be a challenge, and one that's wrapped in a sexy little package at that. What lengths will he go to, to convince her and what happens when all the cards are on the table?
In this addition to the series the Solsti story continues to grow from what we've already read in the previous two books, as well as tell the story of the third sister. Seeing her story and why she's so reluctant you can see her point and why Gin is so reluctant to get involved. I loved Mathias and how he helped her see her gift a different way and come to terms with what she thought of as a horrible event. And the two together were HOT!!!! I loved seeing them burn up the dance floor and go toe to toe together and come together and be stronger for it was great. I also loved the little glimpses we saw not only from Nicole and Brooke but other sources as well. Definitely excited for this series and where it will go from here!!!
