Blog Tour: Flame by Brooke Cumberland

Book Title: Flame
Author: Brooke Cumberland
Genre: Erotic Romance
Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

Carissa Wright doesn’t do relationships. Raised with a junkie mother and an alcoholic father, building relationships were far off her list. Rather, one night-stands were her usual.

Carissa has one constant in her life—her best friend Velaney. Completely opposite of each other, yet they balance each other out.

Although Carissa admits to only wanting sex and nothing more, will she allow in the one guy who wants to break down her walls or will she run out of fear of finally letting her guard down?

She is unfamiliar with these feelings and wants nothing more than to walk away without a shattered heart. Will she be able to find the courage in order to turn a flame into a long lasting relationship?

With walls built up and emotions locked away, can she learn to put her heart on the line?

Or will each guy just be another flame?

Elle says…

Flame is the third installment in Brooke Cumberland’s Spark Series. This literary inferno is one blazing hot and sexy read!

I have been salivating for Carissa’s story since she was first introduced in Spark. She’s outspoken, loves her friends fiercely, and has an insatiable sexual appetite. She’s a man-eating vixen. Beneath her tough exterior, she is just a vulnerable girl from a broken home who uses sex as a tool to gain power and control. She is my favorite of Brooke’s female characters. It was a thrill to see what makes her tick and how her character developed into the woman she was.

As you can probably guess, Carissa’s sexual hunger meant lots and lots of wild, steamy sexcapades. Be prepared to pick your jaw up off the floor. Multiple times. Brooke definitely didn’t hold back when writing the nitty gritty. She let her inhibitions go and wrote scenes that are far from tame.

In my opinion, this is Brooke’s best novel to date. She stepped out of her comfort zone and dialed up the lust and erotica to deliver a scorching hot novel that is equal parts spicy and satisfying. Get your hands on Flame by Brooke Cumberland and treat yourself to a delightfully sinful read.

I’m still blown away by Drew’s sudden attack on my lips. He left without so much as a goodbye or a here’s my number. I don’t know why it bothers me so much, but it does. One moment I’m sad, wondering if I’ll ever see him again, and the next I’m pissed off that yet again, a man has staked their claim on me and then just bailed.

Ugh…what the hell is happening to me? I don’t think about guys. I dream of sex. Of multiple orgasms. But I don’t think of guys as anything more than just that—a way to get off.

But Drew…yeah, he’s different. He’s a blend of sexy meat layered with a sense of entitlement. He knows he’s hot—he has to know. His muscles are practically popping out of his tight t-shirt. And I’m pretty sure I even saw some ink under those sleeves. Had he given me more than two minutes, my hands would’ve wandered up those arms and felt those muscles.

Ugh…dammit.

Must get Drew out of my head.

“Fuck this shit,” I yell at myself. I waltz back into the bar, searching for him through the crowd that’s gotten rowdier since the next game started.

I spot him near the back, laughing with his friends as they continue watching the game. I stalk over, grab him by the arm, and drag him with me into the back hallway.

“Feisty little thing, aren’t you?” I let go of his arm once we make it down the hall where it’s quiet. “Fucking hell, you’re strong.” He rubs his arm with his hand.

“What the hell was that?” I demand.

“I should ask you the same thing, Doll.” He eyes me curiously, not giving away his thoughts.

“Do you typically go around kissing girls like that and then bailing? Or am I the exception?” I realize I’m practically yelling at him, demanding answers, but I don’t care. He’s messing with me, and I don’t like it.

He thinks for a moment before responding. “I suppose you could be the exception to many things.” He grins, roaming his eyes up and down my body again.

I’m dumbstruck and bewildered by him. Fuck it. I grab his face in my hands and force his mouth back on mine. I’m not ready to leave his lips just yet—I need more.

He happily reciprocates, wrapping his arms around my waist as he backs me up against the wall behind me. The kiss isn’t sweet and tender like before, but rather needy and aggressive. The intensity is overwhelming, but I give in and let him take control of the kiss.

His hands roam down my ass and thighs, lifting my legs up as they wrap around his waist. He pushes hard against me, making me throb in between my legs as I feel his erection against me. Shit, he’s hard. I so desperately want to submit to my knees and take him in my mouth, but I don’t just yet. I’m too mesmerized by his mouth, his taste, that nothing else seems to matter but getting more of him.

“Oh my god, Drew…I want you. I want you right now,” I whimper out. There’s no point in beating around the bush. I want him so fucking bad.

“What do you want, Doll?” he asks, not parting our lips. “What can I give you?” he asks again softly.

Jesus…the sound of his voice is so fucking captivating. Panty-dropping, heartbeat-skipping sexy.

“Come home with me. Please.”

What the hell…I’m begging now? I don’t beg men. But shit…I’m ready to beg for him. I guess there really is an exception to certain wants.
