The Ways We Burn #2
The Ways She Owns My Heart
When Sophia finds Emmy's stuffed toy, Mr. Wonkers, beheaded and soaked in blood, it’s clear the danger is far from over. The mafia’s warning is brutal, and safety at Evelyn Lockhart’s secluded estate is no longer guaranteed.
Evelyn swore to protect her late brother’s stepdaughter, but keeping Sophia safe grows harder as her feelings for her fiery, headstrong niece deepen. Sophia, no longer the girl Evelyn once knew, is determined to take control of her life—and Evelyn’s attention.
As the mafia closes in, the lines between duty and desire blur. With danger lurking in the shadows, Evelyn and Sophia must navigate a deadly game of survival while battling the undeniable pull between them.

About the author
A. Goswami
28 books114 followersI am your friendly neighborhood Sapphic romance writer, who has a knack for writing steamy romances, that also work as comfort reads. I know, a conundrum! But once you give my books a shot, you'll know what I mean!
I live in London, a few streets away from where Sherlock Holmes used to live, so... if I you find me taking too long to publish my next book, I am probably off with Mr. Holmes on an adventure.

The book and I had an awkward moment when step-auntie demanded that her firecracker niece crawl on her hands and knees naked to screw her afterwards. And I'm pretty much convinced that auntie's niece has unresolved mommy issues. Besides that, I was unfortunately very much into it. Again.
Honestly, after reading this, I believe I need a Mr. Wonkers in my life too.

A Satisfying (But Too Short!) Conclusion – I Needed More!
I just finished the final book in this series, and while I really enjoyed it, I can’t help wishing it was longer! Don’t get me wrong—the *most anticipated scene* finally happened, and it delivered (🔥), but I still wanted MORE. More tension, more moments between the characters… and especially more in the epilogue! That last chapter left me craving just *one* extra scene to seal the deal. (A girl can dream, right? 😂)
Despite my hunger for extra pages, this was a fun, steamy ride from start to finish. If you loved the first book, you’ll definitely enjoy this conclusion—just brace yourself for a bittersweet goodbye!

A Book 2 To Eve & Sophia’s Story!
This was the part of this story I was wanting for. When we realize that the traitor was on the inside. Of course we knew. Too many things were happening in areas it should not of. The relationship between Eve and Sophia is now known but it doesn’t seem to matter in the scheme of things. This was a really interesting and exciting story with a love between two people keeping it going on. Good Job!

Loved
Unconventional, lust filled and action packed. Love knows no rules when it comes to the heart. It protects and will do whatever it needs to keep it safe.

I feel like this could have been a part of book 1, I don’t get why the story was split up. The story was captivating overall and I enjoyed the ending. The SPICE in this book though 🥵🥵 excellent 👏🏼

Fun read
This was well written. There actually was a very nice. Story line. It could have been less LGBT and passed as a regular adventure novel.
