Frankie escapes the house where she's being inprisoned but her captors catch her before she can get the hell out of Dodge.

And he wants to keep her in his life. Frankie is mystified when Ridley brings her to an abandoned building. Ridley's own secret hideway that he made himself. Over the course of 3 years. In the dead of the night. Because of course he did. Now that Ridley's decided that he's keeping Frankie, that means he's going to remove any and all threats to Frankie's life. Ridley goes fishing for information and finds out that the gangsters are members of The Templars, a murderous drug cartel that's also into women and guns and has the police in their pocket.
The Templars managed to infiltrate Boston over the past few months when the Byrne brothers had been preoccupied with their own problems. After finding out everything he can about the Templars, he recruits his twin brother Mac to help him take out the Templars. Scorched is a thrill-a-minute story that's ridiculously funny, smoking hot and breathtakingly suspenseful. Ridley and his brothers love to tease the hell out of each other and being guys, they don't hold back, which leads to some very funny zingers.
Ridley and Frankie bring out the best in each other but is Frankie too damaged to love and be loved? Holly Hart skillfully brings the characters' deep emotions to the fore and it was very easy to get caught up in the story. I can't wait to read Book 4 in the Byrne Brothers series. I highly recommend this book. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book Feb 28, Diane Vandergriff rated it it was amazing. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader copy of this book Oh my, the hot Irish "business man"! I love all of the Bryne Brothers thus far! Frankie was a little immature for me with all the garbage running through her head.
I felt like she could have been little more grateful to Ridley for what he has done for her and what he continues to do for her. He's done everything right for her to trust him and then she goes ruins it. I won't tell you how! I can't wait for the next Bryne book! Only two more Bryne brothers to go.
Feb 19, Lisa rated it it was amazing. The Byrne Brothers sure have a knack for being in the perfect place at the perfect time to rescue a damsel in distress, but this time is a little different. Ridley was just about to go home for the night when hears something that can't be anything but bad.
Several Templars have a woman in their clutches and it looks like the situation is about to go from bad to worse when he steps in to save the day. He takes the woman, Frankie, away from the men only to find out she's been beaten more than most The Byrne Brothers sure have a knack for being in the perfect place at the perfect time to rescue a damsel in distress, but this time is a little different. He takes the woman, Frankie, away from the men only to find out she's been beaten more than most men could handle, let alone a woman. He's just saved her from a life of beatings, rapes, and then eventually a horrible death.
Frankie's fiery red hair and temperament have made Ridley take notice, and he wants nothing more than to be her knight in black leather. But as much as Frankie loves the feeling of being in Ridley's arms, she feels like there is something she still must do even after she's been saved from a horrible future This book felt a little darker to me, but it was such a good read.
Frankie had suffered much worse compared to the women from the other two books, which I think made her rescue and relationship with Ridley that much sweeter. The story also hits on how the Byrne boys are going to have to step up their game to protect the town they love so much. Great read and hopefully we'll get more stories about the rest of the Byrne clan!! Feb 19, Rochelle rated it really liked it.
A great storyline that has darkness and intrigue makes an overall awesome read. This story had me gripped from the beginning, and highlights some of the tragedies going on today. Very enlightening and very sad that people have to go through this every day, the author has done a great job with the detailed writing and visualisations for the reader. I also loved the characters alot. Ridley is a dark soul with dark needs, but his also really sweet, caring, and funny. Frankie is Ridley's perfect match, with her own demons and darkness, but she also has a strength, shyness and vulnerability about her.
I liked the balance between them and their relationship, and the chemistry they shared. This story moves at a good pace, and the author did a great job bringing it together. However I do think at the very beginning of their relationship things could have gone a touch slower, I just think that wanting to keep someone in your life that you've just met is a little unrealistic. Otherwise overall I thoroughly enjoyed this dark and entertaining read.

Frankie fights with emotional problems. She has suffered too much in too short a time and has had to leave behind her fellow prisoner women, whom she had promised to rescue. In addition, she fights against her feelings for Ridley and against her distrust of men. This book is more than exciting and captivating, a real page turner and at least as good as the predecessors in this series!

Despite that it is a pleasant enough second-chance romance, and will easily while away a lazy afternoon. Sep 08, Christine Frieseke-Miller rated it really liked it.

Each of the brothers get their story told. Dane and Avery's story is one of a second chance at love. Dane screwed up 4 years ago, but now that he's reconnected with Avery, he won't make that mistake again. I loved Dane and his persistence. I didn't like what he had done and I understood Avery's hesitation to forgive him. I would have loved to have a little more detail in the story and for the climax of the story to Another good read in the Blackthorn series.

Easy is a stand alone but you do ben9from reading them in order.
Scorch is Dane and Avery's story. Four years ago Dane broke Avery's heart by cheating knowing she'd walk in and see it for herself. This story has a lot of emotions and you feel effects of the blackmail, betrayal, and heartbreak throughout this book. The characters are well developed and the plot keeps you turning the pages. If you enjoy reading about a strong woman giving an alpha male a run for his money, than you will love this book.
Sep 13, Donna rated it it was amazing. Just imagine that you are totally trying to avoid a war between my own family and one of the dangerous notorious criminals in the whole of Seattle. All I've got to do then is try and hack into one of the most complex and protected systems in the whole of the country.
Then I'll walk away with the goodies. However now in the middle of all this crazy and total asinine scheme. The one and only person I expect to run straight into is my biggest mistakes and regrets. It's only then and at that moment Avery suddenly spots me. Avery either wants to try and bargain with me or what would be her solid objective and that would be to throw my sorry ass back in jail.
All I want is Avery who willing and very naked in my bed, screaming out my name with pleasure until she burns out. Hell they may call me by my nickname Scorch for a real good reason. I have a feeling that this is the time that I Dane aka Scorch who will get burned when I put my heart on the line.
