Inflame (Explosive #3) by
Tessa Teevan
*Synopsis*
Easy going
soldier Kale Montgomery, a self-proclaimed ladies man, has no plans of settling
down, especially not with his best friend- the sexy, sassy schoolteacher Lucy
Dawson. Their relationship, though unconventional, is mutually beneficial, and
they wouldn't have it any other way. Friends with benefits? Casual lovers?
Whatever you want to call it, they’re having fun, in and out of bed, and to
them, that’s all that matters. At least that’s what they think, but how long
can you spend in someone's bed before you find they're also infiltrating your
heart?
As their
casual fling with no strings attached progresses, it's not long before they
realize they're both in way over their heads. One fateful night changes their
lives forever in ways they could never have imagined, giving them the push to
finally admit that maybe,
just maybe they want more than they’ve let on. Their mutual
attraction rapidly intensifies as it shifts from burning lust to
unrelenting want, need, and possibly even love. Suddenly the idea of settling down doesn't seem so bad. In fact, it sounds pretty damn perfect.

Just when
things seem to be falling into place, past pain and renewed insecurities rise
to the surface and threaten to smother the flames of their passionate
relationship, reminding them both why they’ve always kept the idea of love at
arm's length. Will Kale and Lucy realize that what they've been waiting for is
each other, or will the blazing whirlwind of their feelings burn out too
quickly, causing it to all go up in smoke?
*Review*
*5 stars*
This is the third book I have read by Tessa and they just keep getting better and better.
Kale, was actually not what I was expecting. I picture him as a man whore that slept with anything that has two legs. That really isn't the case here. I’m use to guys always being man whores. Yes, Kale sure has had his fair share of woman, but that changed when he meets Lucy. I really enjoyed the two together. They sure had some hilarious moments, but they also had their fair share of hot moments to.
Lucy was an enjoyable character. She wasn't annoying or whinny which was a blessing. Although, there was a part of the book, where I thought she was being ridiculous because the answer was so obvious to her problem. (view spoiler)
Overall I really enjoyed the book and I loved all the garden and Kale jokes. And I cannot freaking wait for Xavier and Branson's book's.
*Excerpt*
She looks me
over, and I love the fact that she’s checking me out. I don’t know why I’m so
drawn to her, but I am, and I want to get to know her better, at least where
the bedroom’s concerned. Eventually, she extends her hand, and I give a firm
handshake, the kind she wanted when we first met. “Please, Kale, call me
Lucy.”
Shaking her hand, I say it out
loud. “Lucy. I like it.”
“That’s fortunate since I’m
stuck with it. Okay, Montgomery. As much as I love flirting with a hot ass
soldier in the parking lot of an elementary school, I’ve got to get going.
Maybe I’ll see you around?”
She starts to walk away, but I
grab her hand, reeling her back in. I’m not ready for her to go, yet I don’t
want to seem like some crazy stalker guy.
“Can I see you again? You
know, outside of an elementary school?” I ask, my eyes bearing down into hers,
begging for her to say yes.
She hesitates, and I’m afraid
she’s about to say no when she finally responds. “I don’t date. I’m not looking
for anything serious, so if that’s what you’re looking for, I’m the wrong
girl.”
My cock practically sings at
her words. A no strings attached relationship with a hot teacher right before I
deploy? I couldn’t have asked for better luck.
“I don’t do relationships,
either, Lucy. I just want to get to know you and to have some fun. No feelings,
no strings, no nothing,” I tell her, and watch as a look of relief washes over
her.
She starts digging in her
purse and I watch as she scribbles something on a piece of paper before hanging
it to me. “Number’s right there. Call me when you’re feeling adventurous,” she
says. Before I can say anything, she spins around and swiftly walks away,
leaving me to wonder just how adventurous she can be.

*About the
Author*
I'm a twenty six year old book junkie who is also
obsessed with sports. Bengals, Buckeyes, Reds are my teams! I work for the
government during the day, hang out with Air National Guard on the weekends,
and have been married to my own book boyfriend for over seven years. We
currently live right outside of Dayton, OH with our two cats.
If I’m not writing or looking
through tons of photos of hot men, all in the name of research, then you can
probably find me curled up with my Kindle, ignoring the rest of the world. I
love my sports almost as much as I love my books. My other obsessions include
red wine, hot men, country music, and all things Grace Potter.
