Burn

Montana Mountain Protectors #6

by Gemma Weir

Everyone in Rockhead Point watched in fascination as the Barnett brothers found their women, and their happily ever afters.

But I’m not a Barnett.

I intended to spend the rest of my life contentedly alone.

Until her.

The moment I saw my doll, the strange things that happen in this town all suddenly made perfect sense.

She’s my mate, my wife, my world.

I plan to take care of her, to help her, to fix the parts of her that are broken, because there’s no me and her anymore, there’s only us.

But the outside world keeps trying to burst the bubble we’re living in, and if I have to, I’ll burn this town to ashes until the only thing left is me, her, and our happily ever after.

Forget the Barnett family legacy. Now, it’s all about the myth of the Montana Mountain Protectors.

Gemma men i swear!! We met these guys in other books but now its there turn. Knight is alittle peculiar. But he was Knight. He already knew who his woman was going to be by the first glance. He just had to wait alittle to go get her. Octavia is his little doll dressed like a Gothic cute doll he cant wait to bring her home. Which took some time since she was dealing with landlords and an ex.
Now Knight has her back home and in his house. Octavia pushes away alittle unlike the other girls she wants the attention Knight gives her but shes hesitant since her taste in men aren't great.

She's also trying to adapt to knights routines. Cuz she is not a routines girl.
Its alot of learning for the 2 but honest they were perfect for one another.

Knight’s story

FINALLY!! I’ve been waiting for the mountain protectors to continue and specifically for Knight who’s very odd behavior just makes you think hmmmmm interesting….. then he’s here and yes fall in love! And it wasn’t a love is going to normalize things, normal is boring, and more about accepting and loving differences. Ugh loved!

“Burn” is the story of Octavia and Knight.

I really enjoyed this book. A (likely) neurodiverse hero with ocd traits meeting a kinda lost heroine, and basically starts worshipping her.

Instead of the usual denial and pushing away, here we had small moments of resistance but the heroine soon realized the hero adored everything about her - how their relationship bloomed forms the story.

He is clinical and stoic but caring. She is warm and open to love. It has loads of sexy moments mixed with tender ones too. I liked it overall.

Safe

Another fantastic read

"I'll help".

Soo many layers to those two words - something that Octy doesn't understand, until she does!

Whew! This one was such an engaging and addictive storyline, and I had a tough time putting this one down, so plan your time.

All series long, Knight has been aloof and rigid in the way he lives his life. While the guys he works with (and Tori) have become friends, his emotions are still very stilted. I absolutely adore how he claims Octy, and the dynamics between them! Is it everyone's choice? Absolutely not. But I get the whole "doll" aspect (that was pretty interesting!) and appreciate how she cares for him, and his "particular" personality.

This is steamy, engaging, with OTT control and codependency that is absolutely 100% not healthy... but if anything, these two own it, and it works for this storyline.

I enjoyed the relationships she has with Etta, Betty and love how the HEA happened. I cannot wait for Warrick to get his HEA next.

[L. Renée Richard · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a spin-off of the Barnett Brothers mountain men we have come to love for their craziness and extreme protectiveness of their women. It's love at first sight, or so they all claim. Knight isn't one of the brothers, but this town does strange things to them when they claim a woman as their own. Octavia is no exception.
This book was everything I didn't know I needed.

[Selena Michaels · Rating 5 out of 5]

just in the Knick of time

I personally need more! If she writes it I’ll read it and the quirks knight had just made me feel for him! 5⭐️

[Marisa BG · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really loved both Knight and Octy! Especially loved that Knight is neurodivergent.

God Bless Rockhead Point 😂

I am OBSESSED with this newest installment of the Rockhead Point lore. Knight is everything I needed from this series. He was somehow both the level of OTT I’ve come to expect from the men of this sweet lil Montana town AND a balm for my soul of kindness, openness, and excellent communication. Less beating his chest and saying “mine”, more “this is exactly how it’s meant to be and why”. And Octy, ohhhhh Octy. She deserves all the love he gave her. I loved seeing her come back to herself, finding a solid footing in her relationship with Knight to claim her joy and spirit back in a way that felt so authentic. Gemma is always an immediate pre-order author for me and this novel just affirmed that decision.

Knight and Octy

Gemma, do you know were I can find a real life Knight. Sure his different, but he and Octy are perfect together. You have once again blown it out the water. Loved the story, loved the spice, just plain loved it. I don’t want Spark to be the last time we read about these people. Please, please, please can we have a little spin off or even individual books for our tattooists?

[Hazel Gower · Rating 5 out of 5]

best yet.

Oh my good I loved this book. I think it’s my favourite of all her books. I have been waiting a long time for Knight’s book and it exceeded my expectations. I know this book will become a go to favourite from now on. Thanks Gemma for the amazing read. I can’t recommend this book enough.

[Kathryn · Rating 5 out of 5]

We finally got knight!

I feel like this character duo was teased for so long, I almost gave up hope. But yay its here and in typical Emma fashion, it is deliciously messed up and full of red flags. This isn't an instruction manual this is fantasy, a story, a book. No need to take it seriously, we all love a man with red flags, he just needs to stay 2 dimensional inside our literature.
I will read anything Emma writes, and I'm secretly hoping a few of these new side characters also get hit with the "curse" that is this town.

Neurodivergent MMC

Been waiting for Knight since the beginning of this series and he was by far my favorite!!! I loved how Gemma created Knight.

[Montana Garin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Of course it was a hit

I’ve loved every Gemma Weir book I’ve ever read, but I knew Knights book was going to be special. Loved it so much, just like I knew I would!

[Bec · Rating 4 out of 5]

loved it

Another brilliant story from Gemma Weir.
I couldn’t stop reading.
Knight is such an amazing husband.
I totally want to move to Rockhead Point.
Recommend to all

[Rachel Way · Rating 5 out of 5]

‘Knight Taylor is a red flag waving a green flag, and I have no idea what to do with that.’
‘We burned normal to the ground, and what we found on the ashes was our perfect happy ever after.’

It feels like I’ve been waiting for Knight forever, and let me tell you- he did NOT disappoint!
Knight is my new favourite in this series (tricky, because there’s some other great guys in there!), he’s absolutely everything. Now I’m reevaluating everything I want in a man/relationship because ooft, he was perfect!
The way he took care of her, was so sure about her and he never stop showing his dedication and making her feel loved and wanted-the entire time!
I loved them together and their beautiful little life they created together.
As always, loved the mountain world and I’m so excited to see Warrick next, our final mountain protector. Thankgod we get the tattoo guys next, because the set up for that in this one was SO good… I don’t know who I’m most looking forward to!
Highly recommend this one!

Burn

The incredible Gemma Weir has done it again.

Every book in this serious and the original Mountain Men series has captivated me and made me thirsty for more. Every time I finish a book and realize I have to wait for the next, I’m gutted because the stories are SO good.

I’ve got a feeling that the next one is going to be amazing and I cannot wait.

*slight spoilers ahead*

Doll and Knight might be my new favorite, until the next book at least. Knight’s persistence and patience in waiting for the right time to make Doll his… and Doll giving into him and his peculiar ways and loving him because of who he is not in spite…yeah, I cried a bit in this one. Doll just wanted someone to see her, really and truly see her and Knight did. Knight saw her and loved her, accepted her as is, encouraged her, strengthened her and took care of her. I love them sooo much.

[Jade · Rating 3 out of 5]

okay some spoilers

I like the town full of over protective men. I liked Knight. I didn’t really like Octavia.

This author isn’t great at drumming up conflict. The conflict in the book didn’t make a lot of sense. Octavia was mad at knight for breaking his routine to let her sleep in, her response was an overreaction. She got upset with him when he suggested she stay home. Again she overreacted.

It was kind of sad that he has an obvious mental disorder and he’s confused and upset by her actions. It made me dislike Octavia.

I thought the ex boyfriend would have been a better source of conflict, but the final showdown was kind of a dud.

Also it didn’t really explain his security company very well. I very rarely say this, but it was too much sex in a book, not enough actual plot.

[Reading Raccoon · Rating 3 out of 5]

I feel like henry and anders was a really hard act to follow. I'm g9ing t9 be honest, Octavia was irritating to me. also did Knight have undiagnosed autism? this wasn't addressed, did I miss something? I love reading stories with diagnosis and disability representation and would eat that UP, but I want to hear about it, I want it to be recognised, not glossed over, Octy could very quickly see there was something but just kept saying "it doesn't matter WHY he does that" "I didn't care enough to ask".
anyway I do enjoy Gemma's books overall and just has a bit of a bone to pick with Octavia's character, and a bit of a gap in the story with Knight, look its possible that he just had a rigid father and that shaped him but it felt like more? like he was always called "different". anyway 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Lynne Garlick · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh. My. Christ!

Oh. My. Christ! Or should I say my Knight?’ I have been waiting for Knight’s story and I was not disappointed.
My heart, I literally have no words at the moment. The emotions that have poured from the pages, have wrapped themselves tightly around me. Don’t get me wrong, this book is hot AF and Knight is on a completely different level. And that cemented him in my heart.
Knight sees Octavia and he KNOWS. He is on a one man mission to bring her home and make her completely his.
This book is going to stay with me for a long time. For all the right reasons.
Please, go and one click this now!

[Ari Lozada · Rating 5 out of 5]

knight is the perfect kind of obsessive

So much to say but I don’t want to give anything away. Knight is perfect. He sees the world different. He doesn’t react like most people would in certain situations.

Octavia trusted the wrong person and is broken when we first see her. Like most woman with an aBus!ve ex, they fall into an unhealthy cycle.

She needs Knight. He’s the perfect kind of obsessive. He needs her to breathe and little does she know that she needs him exactly as he is.

I truly loved these two. They were perfect together. The scenes were always steamy. This pulled at your heartstrings and by the end you love both the Taylor’s.

[flynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

how do I? What do I? Um so. HELLO???!!!!

knight & octy v granger & alice

I don’t even know how I’m feeling about these two. I started it back in I think October or November but then stopped because I didn’t like Octy being called Doll and it was giving DDLG. Then I came back to it today because why not and it didn’t give DDLG vibes anymore. I love granger & alice but I think knight & octy have surpassed them as my favorite couple overall. The visceral need they have to even SEE one another is crazy and I could feel the OTT anxiety about and fear of abandonment from Knight. Ugh. More coherent to come probably.

[DemetraP · Rating 4 out of 5]

He met her once, she went back home to her boyfriend. He built a home for her. He quit his smoke jumping job because he doesn't want to spend time apart. He is now the security guard at her tattoo job.

He calls her Doll. He likes dressing her, picking out her clothes, bathing her, cooking for her, buckling her seat belt, driving her around. He refuses to leave her alone.

He carries her to a bed he put in his home gym so he can work out and watch her sleep.

He eats breakfast at 7, lunch at 1, and dinner at 7. If his schedule is not kept He gets anxious.

[Laureen Loves Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was everything

Out of all the jumpers I'd looked forward to Knight's story the most and this did not in any way disappoint. He might just be my my favorite out of all of this author's characters. A little quirky in his need for regular schedules, most definitely demonstrating some level of neurodiversity, but absolutely perfect for someone who needed his calm, steady, and reliable devotion. Even when it seemed a little crazy.

[Shi Shi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love Love Love this book.

I would give this book 100 stars if I could.
FACEBOOK TOUCHED ME AND I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.IT'S JUST A WONDERFUL BOOK , AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE WHO IS AN AVID READER. THIS IS THE BEST BOOK OUT OF THIS WHOLE SERIES.IT WILL BE SO HARD TO. KNIGHT IS THE BEST HERO OUT OF ALL OF THEM. 🥰

[Kaitlin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hands down the best book out of the Mountain men protector series. While there was some miscommunication in there, it wasn't as bad as past books and Knight was for the most part, bluntly honest. This couple really meshed well and it was so fun to read!

[Phyllis Lopez · Rating 5 out of 5]

As Always This Was An Interesting Story!

Octavia and Knight was an unconventional love story! All of Knight's strange ways just seem to help fix both Octy and Knight. I love Gems We it's books, they make you
"Oh My"! I enjoyed this book.

[Mrs A · Rating 4 out of 5]

wow

These books are my guilty pleasure reads, they are over the top but have me perfectly engrossed and rooting for all the characters. Octy and night are perfect for each other, their unique relationship works for them despite their quirks. Fun read

[Coriel Lawrence · Rating 4 out of 5]

I will read anything Gemma writes- but Knight has been long awaited! Love him down! His robotic quirks had me laughing so hard!

I honestly wasn’t a huge fan of the FMC Octy , but she grew on me!
