Control The Burn by AK Evans (reviewed by Dana Hoffman)

Review

Rating:★★★

It’s close to 3.5 ⭐️’s, I feel compelled to say. I really loved the storyline of this book. It was sweet, fun and sexy. I loved the way it started. Kendall and Logan were so hot together. However, their love story got buried under a bunch of random information that went on for pages upon pages. The inner monologues were loooooong. Then you had one of them thinking something in their head, then they’d voice it out loud. Word for word. So you got the same thing twice. That happened so much. Also, introductions to other people were taking forever, small talk like that drove me crazy. Another thing was the fact that I felt like I learned more about Kendall and Logan’s respective jobs than I learned about them and their relationship. She was a nurse in labor and delivery. So she had these repetitive conversations with her patients/moms to be. He was a drag racing driver and owned his own auto shop where he was building and tuning these fancy racing cars. There were sooooooo many details here, so many. I will say that it was all accurate information, I got one of those at home so I could relate. But why did we need so many details about the whole thing? Even when Logan was at the shop talking to his people there, all these conversations about cars, motors, chassis, tuning, blah blah blah. Seriously too much of that. I will read book 2 because I feel invested now.

AUTHOR BIO


A.K. Evans is a contemporary romance author of over twenty published novels. While she enjoys writing a good romantic suspense novel, Andrea’s favorite books to write have been her extreme sports romances. That might have something to do with the fact that she, along with her husband and two sons, can’t get enough of extreme sports. 

Before becoming a writer, Andrea did a brief stint in the insurance and financial services industry and managed her husband’s performance automotive business. That love of extreme sports? She used to drive race cars! 

When Andrea isn’t writing, she can be found homeschooling her two sons, doing yoga, snowboarding, reading, or traveling with her family. She and her husband are currently taking road trips throughout the country to visit all 50 states with their boys.
