So, Scorched Sin was definitely a change of pace for Bridget Adrienne’s books. I could feel her experimenting with tone and themes here, and honestly, I liked that she tried something different—it kept things from feeling like a repeat of her other stories. But… at the same time, this one just didn’t land for me.
The biggest hurdle? Violet. I get that her whole deal was being guarded, but she was constantly keeping Rowan at arm’s length, to the point where it felt like we never really got the full depth of their relationship. Instead of rooting for them, I found myself sighing every time she pushed him away again. And poor Rowan! He deserved more than to be dangling on a string like that the entire time. Their dynamic felt repetitive, and not in a deliciously angsty way—more in a “can we please move forward already?” way.
On top of that, the pacing was uneven. Some sections dragged, while others flew by so fast that emotional beats didn’t fully land. I wanted to sink into the story, but I kept feeling yanked out of it. And while I applaud the darker, moodier vibe Bridget was going for, the execution felt a little muddled, like it needed one more polish pass to really shine.
At the end of the day, I appreciate that this book tried to bring something new to Bridget’s lineup, but it just wasn’t my cup of tea. I didn’t hate it, but I definitely didn’t love it either. Two stars from me, with a soft side-eye at Violet for making Rowan (and me!) work way too hard.

Scorched Sin (Scorched Legacy) — Bridget Adrienne
⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Standalone * Mafia * stalker * Romeo and Juliet-esque * chase * Dub-con / CNC * playing the long game * family feud * knife play * 71 pages
I will never stop being impressed by how Bridget Adrienne manages to pack layered plots, compelling characters, and seriously scorching spice into novellas under 100 pages. It shouldn’t be possible, but here we are.
After devouring "Ranger’s Temptation" (her freebie that instantly hooked me), I jumped at the chance to ARC read her Mafia brothers series. And once again, she had me up past my bedtime, binging the entire thing in one go. Worth it.
This novella hits different—it’s darker than the Ranger series, with all the Mafia drama and “deleting” of enemies that comes with it. But the best part? It connects back to her Ranger books. Rowan and Violet’s world weaves directly into "Ranger’s Inferno" (through Briar) and even nods to "Ranger’s Temptation". Do you need to read those first? Nope. But if you love clever Easter eggs, trust me, you’ll want to.
Rowan and Violet’s story gives you Romeo & Juliet meets Mafia blood feud vibes. The chemistry? Instant. The chase? Delicious. The spice? Raw, intense, and perfectly placed. And unlike longer Mafia romances, you don’t get dragged through endless breakups and miscommunications—this one is tight, thrilling, and satisfying all the way through.
If you need a quick, punchy, two-hour dark romance binge, this novella absolutely delivers.

If Bridget Adrienne writes it, I'm mf reading it.
I loved her Untamed Rangers series and to have the Scorched Legacy series come off one of the books in the UR series is just *CHEF'S MF KISS*!
Never in my life, after opening a book, have I ever wanted to be kidnapped, manhandled, powerslammed into the forest floor, and basically told to STFU.... but I do now. *adds to bucket list*✍️
Rowan Ashewood is absolutely delicious in all the dark and dangerous ways.
Violet Draven is a mf powerhouse who just wants out of the life she got away from and is being forced back into.
And what better way to take back your power + control?
Organize your own kidnapping... because duh.... with the family rival you've been wet for since forever!
If you want a super spicy, short novella you can devour quickly that contains:
🖤 Possessive Hero MMC
🖤 OTT Obsession with a dangerous edge
🔥 Family Rivals
💀 Touch Her + Die
🥷 Kidnapping
💍 (Almost) Arranged Marriage
🪢 Restraint
🫦 CNC + Dubcon
🔪 Knife Play
🔫 G/n Play
🤚 Spanking
🧑🏻🤝👩🏼 Dom/Sub dynamics
💔 Forbidden love
🖤 Family Legacies worth destroying for the FMC
🖤 Defiant Heroine
.... then you need to go snatch this book immediately and read it.

ARC REVIEW.
Thank you Bridget Adrienne for the ARC.
Scorched Sin is a fast-paced spicy love story.
MMC Rowan has stalker tendencies and is obsessed with his enemy’s daughter FMC Violet. They clearly have some lingering tension/history between them. But nothing has ever happened over the years.
Their fathers are the head of two enemy families. So being together would basically start a war. Her dad is trying to marry her off to some budget cowboy in a week. And budget cowboy is obviously a douchbag.
In an act of desperation to get out of this marriage, Violet asks Rowan to kidnap her. Her father has ways and connections to find her if she ran. But Rowan knows how to do things without being discovered. So he does just that.
Now she owes him for this favour and for the many years she denied him. So he’s here to collect 🔥🔥🔥
If you like fast-paced instalove kind of stories that are super quick reads, this will scratch that itch! It was a super hot and steamy read. Rowan’s a predator, and I mean the good kind. 😉

Romeo & Juliet But Make It Dark
Okay besties, listen up— "Scorched Sin" is a novella but don’t let the length fool you. Bridget Adrienne packed a whole storm of dark, forbidden tension into less than 100 pages, and I was living for it. Violet comes back after four years, and Rowan—the MMC who has been straight-up obs€ss€d with her—is DONE waiting. Their families are sworn enemies, Romeo-and-Juliet style, but the way Rowan claims Violet is dark, poss€ssiv€, and scorching hot. The chemistry? Off-the-charts explosive. The suspense? Kept me on edge. The spice? It freaking delivers and then some! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 This is one of those quick, dirty reads that still makes your pulse race. But babes, read those TWs—this one has darker elements (and, of course, I LOVED IT!)
My Ratings: ⭐ 5/5 ▪︎ 🥵 5/5

Scorched Sin is a hot and addictive standalone novella that hits all the right notes for fans of forbidden romance and fast-paced escape stories. Violet and Rowan are from rival families, bound by bloodlines soaked in bitterness and yet, their love refuses to die.
When Violet’s controlling father tries to marry her off to a sleazy cowboy for the sake of alliance, she does the only thing that makes sense: convinces her secret lover, Rowan, to kidnap her. What follows is a thrilling, passionate runaway romance filled with stolen moments, fake names, and a desperate attempt to outrun the past.
Their chemistry? Off the charts. The heat between them is raw and steamy, but it’s grounded by the emotional stakes they aren’t just running from their families; they’re running toward a life they’ve always dreamed of but never thought they could have.
If you love dramatic escapes, rebellious heroines, and swoon-worthy outlaws with hearts of gold, Scorched Sin is a ride worth taking.

Bridget Adrienne is so good at writing a fast-paced romance that hits hard, and this one is no exception.
The first entry in her new five-book series, a spin-off of Untamed Rangers, Scorched Sin kicks off a saga centered on the five Ashwood brothers.
Rowan Ashwood is a man willing to blow up his entire life and walk away from an empire and legacy he never wanted for the woman he’s always desired.
Violet Draven refuses to be a bargaining chip in her father’s power plays. So, in a moment of desperation, she turns to the one man she shouldn’t.
From rival families and burned bridges to an intense love filled with a steamy passion that will leave you… well, scorched.
This book is a wild ride that does not disappoint.

Bridget does it again! Another fast paced quick read to crush in a day. Rowan and Violet born into rival mafia families but drawn to one another their whole life. Violet constantly pushes away from Rowan for her own safety but when she finds out who her father has promised her to she knows the one way she’ll make it out alive if with Rowan’s help. What she wasn’t expecting was for Rowan to complete abandon his whole life and family just to have a life with her the ones he’s always loved and always wanted but who was just out of reach. Now that he has this opportunity he will stop at nothing to keep her for himself. Full of spice! Dubious consent, bondage, primal play, chasing, knife play, blood play. This book has it all! If you want to enter the world of dark romance this one would be a good starting book in my opinion.

Scorched Sin is a short, explosive read that burns with forbidden desire and dangerous obsession. Rowan and Violet were born to be enemies — heirs to rival empires — but their chemistry is combustible from the first page. What follows is a dark, addictive, and emotionally charged story of two people who can’t stay away, no matter how much damage their love might cause.
This novella is fast, filthy, and full of feeling — the kind of story that makes your pulse race even as you flinch at its darker edges.
⚠️ Content & Trigger Warning: This story contains explicit sexual content, power imbalance, and a scene involving slapping during sex. Themes of obsession and emotional manipulation are present. Recommended for readers comfortable with dark, morally gray romance.

📚 Review: Scorched Sin
🔥 Scorched Legacy #1 by Bridget Adrienne
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Scorched Legacy is Next Level spicy and CNC roleplay. Violet and Rowan do not disappoint. Like their family rivalry, they clash and come together in a scorched-earth, ruthless love. I enjoyed the Untamed Rangers, but Rowan raises the temp! Nothing and no one is going to keep this anti-hero from his queen.
🖤 Family Rivals
🔥 Betrayals
🖤 Possessive MMC
🔥 Defiant FMC
🖤 Obsessions
🔥 Forbidden Desires
It was never supposed to be more than a crush. Ashwoods and Dravens are two dynasties bred for war. Our fathers built empires on rivalry, on territory disputes and power plays. One wrong move...Scorched Sin is a forbidden, enemies-to-lovers romance full of brutal desire, family betrayal, and obsession that can’t be buried.

I recently had the pleasure of reading “Scorched Sin” as part of an ARC review, and it was an absolute thrill! The story follows Rowan and Violet, two magnetic characters caught in a small-town mafia setting. As someone new to the mafia genre, I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging and intense it was.
The chemistry between Rowan and Violet is sizzling, and the book definitely brings the spice! Their forbidden love and Rowan’s intense obsession add layers of tension and excitement that kept me hooked from beginning to end.
Overall, “Scorched Sin” was an engaging and spicy read that I thoroughly enjoyed. If you’re into intense romance with a hint of danger, this one’s definitely worth picking up!

Scorched Sin is a short, fast paced sizzling hot romance that combines the classic tale of star-crossed lovers with the cutthroat world of logging royalty. Rowan is the ruthless Ashwood heir to the logging empire and Violet is the sassy daughter of his biggest rival, the Davenports. As a woman, Violet is undervalued in the business world and is instead used as leverage for securing alliances. When she's engaged to be married, Violet turns to Rowan for help, and he seizes the opportunity to claim her as his. As they surrender to their passion, their chemistry ignites, with Violet drawn to Rowan's dark intensity and Rowan eager to indulge her every craving.

Spice 3/5
Tropes: Mafia, Dubcon/CNC, Romeo & Juliet Vibes, Knife Play, Frenemies to Lovers
When Bridget Adrienne releases anything…I will read it. When she announced a 5-book interconnected Mafia series, I was so excited and thought, surely nothing can top Unhinged Rangers! Well, Rowan and Violet came in hot and heavy in Book No. 1, and I’m always amazed at how much Bridget packs into less than 100 pages.
I loved that Rowan and Violet already had history, it made the chemistry flow seamlessly. Their families have been lifelong rivals in the timber industry, and when Violet is promised to a horrible man for marriage (all for her father’s business advantage), she proposes the only solution she can think of...Rowan kidnaps her.
This series promises to be much darker than Unhinged Rangers, and I love that! I can’t wait for the next one!

This is my first read by Bridget Adrienne and it didn’t disappoint. Thank for the ARC. I am definitely going to check out your other work. 🫶🏻
Romeo & Juliet vibes but make it mafia. 😏
Rowan can do no wrong in my book. Violet..needs to step down a peg. I don’t know what it was but I didn’t love her, and that is okay.
It is a quick read that sucks you and doesn’t let go until the end. Less than 80 pages!
"There's nowhere else I'd rather be. Because the truth is, the only reason I ever denied you is because you were the one person I was scared to lose."

I really think that’s all the needs to be said!
When the man you’re supposed to call “father” is trying sell you off to a man who rather use you in business dealings instead of treating you like a wife, Violet looks to the one man she has always kept at a distance, Rowan.
Rowan has only ever wanted Violet, and when told about her future and asked to save her, his only response is Yes.
This spicy novella will satisfy ALL your wants and needs.
But don’t worry, there will be more than one brother to read about 😈🖤

Wow a dark and burning sprint to the end of this book. Bridget truly has an unmatched skill with short novellas that leaves me both satisfied and craving more at the same time. I love this dark and intense turn for the new series. Also appreciate the connection to Briar from the prior book.
Definitely check out the trigger warnings because this is dark romance if you have not already caught on. Can't wait for the rest of this series!!

Oh what a book, small but mighty. Mafia, kidnapping, knife play, Domination, lots of sexy time. Kinda felt like Romeo and Juliet with a modern twist with no one dies. Well the main characters anyway.
Rowan hot hot hot with a secret crush on violet. He falls first but really knows how to read people and she loves him too. It all works out in the end. So read this book to find out what happens and how it ends.
A must read!!!

Oh I love those stories ! The Insta-love, the fast pace, no bullshit dragged out over twelve chapters ! I love seeing Briar's brothers. I wondered if we we're going to see them. Now I'm just sad we didn't see Briar in the story !
Just be sure to read the trigger and warning first ! It's a little darker than the Untamed Rangers serie !

I swear every book by Bridget just keeps getting better.
Oh my GOD. This book was absolutely amazing 🔥
I love the dark romance mafia vibes to it, but I also love the plot. For a novella, Bridget honestly knows how to pack it full of a good plot and a lotttt of spice!
This is one of my favourites. I can’t wait for the next ones in this series!! 😍

This book was quick read and was easy to get through. The only complaint I have is that I would’ve liked more of maybe a flashback or two of their books previous encounters to build their relationship more. But it was a good palate cleanser this couple are more on the dark romance side of things with lots of kinks so make sure to read your trigger warnings.

4 ⭐ 3 🌶️ ARC E-book Dual POV First Person
Bridget Adrienne always does a great job and packing a lot of story and spice in under 100pgs. This is the first in this series, which is a spin off from her Rangers series. A darker story involving involving feuding familes, dub-con/ CNC, and gun/knife play.

Thank you Bridget Adrienne for letting me be an ARC.
Scorched Sins is a fast paced spicy Romeo and Julet style love story. Enemies to lovers, mafia, family rivals with all the spicy goodness. Its novella of about 70 pages but packs a good punch!! I enjoyed this read very much
Tigger warnings
Explicit sexual content
Dom & sub
Knife & gun play

This is the perfect short spicy read with a bit of suspense. I have not read anything by Bridget Adrienne before and i really enjoyed this short novella. I have been slumping lately and this was perfect! lots of spice! and a good story plot I honestly wished i could get a longer version of this 😅 however I really appreciate a good novella.

10/10 This was fire. Start to finish. Such a good quick read. 5/5 spice. The way he has the need to protect Violet and also destroy her is addicting. This book doesn’t leave any questions or anything unanswered. Can’t wait for book 2.

Absolutely LOVED Scorched Sin! This is a short, very spicy, dark novella. We have rival families, some mafia. Just overall perfection. If you need something short but full of plot and spice- look no further
