I have so much I could say but sum it up with READ IT!! This book DESTROYED me. some books tug at my heart, get me emotional......D.M. made me ugly cry. Like I bawled to where my husband asked if I was okay....NO I most definitely was not okay. Without a doubt one of my top reads of 2026 if not the #1 read of 2026 for me.

Ashlyn lost her parents in a warehouse fire when she was young and is out for revenge. Blake a firefighter who has never lost a life. 1 fire that tangled them up in a beautiful story of being seen and wanting your person.

Also side note Blakes bestie Theo is literally my spirit character. He is so full of life banter and pushes Blake to take chances.

Alright, this was cruel and unusual punishment yet somehow still beautiful. You know from the start they’re on borrowed time. Ashlyn has been surviving on revenge since her parents died in a building fire. When Blake enters her life, he’s searching for a love that finally feels whole even if it costs him everything.
Their connection walks a dangerous line between intense, tragic, and impossible to ignore. The ending wrecked me. Brutal, heartbreaking and all consuming.

I was lucky to be given an ARC copy of the book by the author!

I was fortunate enough to read this as a beta reader. The book consumed me all the good ways! Our FMC, Ashlyn, is morally grey but you cheer for the whole time despite knowing her crimes. The main MMC, Blake, is so good for her, you root for them throughout! The best friend, Theo, is that bit of comic relief you need and also someone who I was left wanting to hug at the end of this book. Every part of the story was captivating and left you wanting more!

This book had me hooked from the start.
A morally gray FMC. A golden-retriever firefighter. And a chaotic, innuendo-filled sidekick named Gizmo?? Say less.
What starts off strong pulls you deep into her pain, her revenge, and her reckoning...and listen… I was NOT prepared for where this story went.
No spoilers. Just know it’s worth the read.
But when your feelings get wrecked later?
Yeah… blame Theo.

I got this book from the author herself a few months ago as an ARC reader and I devoured this book!

It was funny, the story itself is great and the main characters are the best! Even Theo our favorite “side” character made a big impact on the story!

Blaze & Ash’s story is amazing & the ending was cruel but perfectly wrapped the story up perfectly!

Thank you so much!!

love

If you like firefighter stories you will love this book. This romance is about an arsonist and a firefighter falling in love. Will the firefighter find out she was the one starting the fires? How will it end. You well have to read it to find out.

Engulfed has to be one of my favorite 2026 reads. There was laughter, heart break, twist and turns, that will have your emotions all over the place. This is A fire fighter and arsonist love story. he falls head over heels for her not knowing she was the one behind a series of fires. lets just say that the end completely broke me, I cried my eyes out. if you have not picked up Engulfed, do yourself a favor and read it. PS the SPICE be spicing...
