Coiled Flame #1
Twin Flame
Blending forbidden love, emotional angst, and explosive chemistry, Twin Flame is a dark emotional romance perfect for readers who love morally grey men, obsession, and imperfect characters who ruin each other before they heal, and who become impossible not to love.
He was my first love, his brother became my last.
Beneath the glamour of Saint-Tropez and the glittering French Riviera lies a world no one talks about.
Sara is already drowning in grief when Joe crashes into her life and gives her a reason to smile again. Magnetic and impossible to resist, he pulls her into a world she was never meant to enter.
A world that comes with Liam, his twin brother.
He's cold, calculated, and dangerous in ways Joe isn't. Liam is the last person Sara should trust, but every decision she makes brings her closer to everything she should stay away from.
Sara never meant to get involved.
Joe never meant to let fate come between them.
Liam never meant to let her in.
Obsession, secrets, and a love stronger than reason pull the three of them into a game no one is prepared to play.
And once the fire ignites, no one can put it out.
With the flip of a card, let the games begin.

Okay…I loved this.
This is one of those books where I kept saying, “One more chapter,” and then suddenly it was midnight.
My favorite thing was how SMART this book is. There are so many little Easter eggs and connections that you don’t even realize are important until later. Nothing is random. Every time something clicked I was like, “Wait…that’s SO GOOD.” I love books that reward you for paying attention.
And St. Tropez isn’t just a pretty setting. It’s actually part of the story. There are things that happen later that only work because of Sara’s history there, and I loved that. It made everything feel so much more believable.
Also…Julie might write settings better than almost anyone I’ve read. I don’t know how else to explain it except I felt like I was there. It made me want to book a flight to the South of France immediately. 😂
The pacing is SO good too. Something is always happening, but it never feels chaotic. I would look up and realize I’d accidentally read three more chapters because they’re so easy to fly through.
I loved Sara from the beginning. Her attitude is everything. Liam is also so complex. I loved his character arc. The banter is funny, the romance works, the action keeps coming, the emotional moments hit, and I loved watching the characters grow.
This book really has everything—romance, action, mystery, humor, heartbreak, and twists that actually surprised me. I genuinely gasped more than once.
Such a fun, addictive read. I loved every second.

Review of advance copy received from Author
July 17, 2026I had the incredible opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book, and I’m so grateful to Julie for trusting me with it. Thank you for letting me experience this story early—it was an absolute privilege.
What a wild ride! Every time I thought I knew where the story was going, another twist had me completely rethinking everything. It had me feeling every emotion imaginable—laughing, swooning, stressing, tearing up, and cheering right alongside the characters.
One of my favorite parts was watching the characters grow and evolve throughout the story. Their journeys felt authentic, and seeing the different kinds of love unfold made this book even more special. Whether you’re a sucker for the sweetest cinnamon roll MMC or can’t resist a broody, villainous MMC, this story delivers both in the best possible way.
This is the kind of book that stays with you long after you’ve turned the last page. I can’t wait for everyone else to experience it.
I highly, highly recommend adding this one to your TBR—you won’t regret it!

❤️🔥SMOKING HOT 5 STAR REVIEW❤️🔥
Here are a few of my favourite quotes… and honestly it was impossible to choose which ones to post as I had like 30 highlighted!
“It makes others uncomfortable when they look into my eyes and see a pit of darkness they want to remedy, as if grief is a disease. Something to be fixed.”
“He smiles almost genuinely, and I realize I’ve never seen him smile. It’s a smile that screams, “I’d taste your blood if I could.”
“I want to be both the storm that wrecks her and the shelter she runs to. I want her screaming my name when pain and salvation become the same thing.“
“God, she’s beautiful. Not in how she stops my heart, but how she starts it again.”
Absolute 5 star read. Age gap. Twins. Emotional damage. Trauma. The TWISTS. The beautiful St Tropez setting. HIGHLY highly Recommend.
Thank you @julieblakeauthor @thtswhtshereadpr

This was an amazing story. I loved the way it pulled me in so fast and kept me invested. This was emotional and heartfelt. Twists and turns that never let up. This was an absolutely amazing story and I loves every minute of it.

3.5 ⭐️ firstly, big thank you to Julie for sending this arc read! The synopsis is really what sold me on this book, because who doesn’t want a brother’s ex girlfriend romance??
It’s not a spoiler that our fmc’s boyfriend dies but I wasn’t expecting to fall for him as quickly as I did.. however, it’s always going to be the brooding bad boy that does me in. And boy was he BROODY.
Liam is everything that I love in a morally gray man right down to his “I’ll burn the world down for you” attitude. My only problem was I wished we got a little bit more of their romance. But other than that, this was a fun read!

...yall...this book gave me whiplash in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE! I was gasping, crying, laughing, and thrown all over the place! Haha You can feel the passion, hate, sacrifice, and love throughout this entire book. For this to be Julie's first book.. I am a fan for life and I can't wait to see what happens for her in the future. 10/10 recommend *thank you for allowing me to ARC read*

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC!
Twin Flame was such an emotional rollercoaster, has you sobbing one minute and raging the next! Sara made for such a strong, compelling lead, smart and resilient even while navigating grief and betrayal. The push and pull between her, Joe, and Liam kept me guessing constantly, one moment I thought I knew who I wanted her with, then everything shifted again. Liam's transformation from cold and resentful to fiercely devoted was such a highlight. That morally gray "I'll burn the world down for you" energy is exactly what I love in a brooding love interest. The tension between him and Sara simmered beautifully beneath all the anger and hurt, and the ending felt earned and satisfying. The plot delivered plenty of twists, secrets, and danger I didn't see coming, though I did wish for a bit more time spent developing Sara and Liam's romance once it finally took center stage. Blending forbidden love, emotional angst, and explosive chemistry, Twin Flame is a dark emotional romance perfect for readers who love morally grey men, obsession, and imperfect characters who ruin each other before they heal, and who become impossible not to love.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for my advanced copy of Twin Flame. This book was everything I wanted in a dark romance. From the moment I picked it up and started reading, I could not put it down.
This book put me through every single emotion - sadness, grief, confusion, happiness, contentment, anger, terror - I’m a mess right now. Just when I thought I knew where this was going, I was proven wrong. The last 10% of the book was the most stressful experience of my life. This is one of those books that will stick with me for a long time. I’m so glad I decided to give this one a shot.

Wow Julie! Thank you so much for allowing me to be an ARC reader for Twin Flame! It was such a captivating read for me. I absolutely loved the setting in St. Tropez, somewhere I’ve always wanted to go myself so it was fun to imagine the scenery. Julie did such an amazing job taking us there. When we meet Sara and Joe I was immediately in it. Give me that little age gap, the yearning-all while enduring the scrutiny of Joe’s moody twin, Liam. When Joe suddenly died on his motorcycle I was in shock but then the best thing was brought to us and that was Liam and Sara finding peace together through their pain. It was a rocky start at first filled with anger and malice and blame but that only led to the best sexual tension! You could really feel the guilt that they both battled with with not wanting to fight their feelings towards each other but also not wanting to betray Joe. I loved Liam and Sara both being able to heal each other in different ways and finally embrace their darker sides together. The twists and turns in this book kept me on my toes. Hello, Joe? The way my jaw dropped. Thank you for not leaving me in tears and giving me the hea that I desperately needed Liam and Sara to have. I laughed, I cried, I blushed. All the things that led me to giving this a five star rating!!

Twin Flame was a crazy rollercoaster that literally left me on the edge of my seat. A love triangle between Sara Delacroix and twins, Joe and Liam Laurent, a shady business going on around town, suspense, and twists and turns that will leave your jaw on the ground.
What to expect:
🃏 Dark Romance
💜 Touch Her & Die
🃏 Forced Proximity
💜 Rivals to Lovers
🃏 Found Family
💜 Age Gap
🃏 One Bed
There’s not a ton I can say without giving a lot away, but the love between these three will make you go crazy. You’ll have an opinion on them and think you know who you want to be together, but then that changes suddenly, then it will change again. It made me anxious, but in a good way! I was kept on my toes this entire read. Sara was such a strong character, especially for being only 19 years old. She was smart, loving, and could handle herself pretty well. Joe was the perfect guy until everythingggg changed and there were so many secrets he was holding onto. Liam was terrible to Sara at first but man when he starts showing how big his heart is, it’s amazing!
Be prepared to have so many emotions while reading this and nothing is as it seems! Great debut novel!

Review of advance copy received from Author
Some books entertain you. Others leave pieces of themselves behind. Twin Flame did the latter.
Joe shattered my heart in ways I wasn’t prepared for. He was gentle, selfless, and loved Sara with a quiet kind of devotion that felt effortless... I’m so excited to see where his story goes ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Then there’s Liam.
“I can't let you go,” I whisper, “I don't think I'll ever be able to. Don’t ever make me have to let you go.” - don’t let me go Liam 😭❤️🔥
I wasn’t expecting him to unravel me the way he did. Beneath his anger and sharp edges was a man who had spent his entire life believing he was impossible to love. His love wasn’t perfect—it was messy, consuming, protective, and born from years of pain—but it was deeply human.
And Sara… she was the heart of it all. She reminded me that grief and love can exist in the same space. That moving forward doesn’t erase the people we’ve lost. She never stopped loving Joe, but she also found the courage to open her heart again, proving that loving someone new doesn’t diminish the love that came before.
This story isn’t just about a love triangle or twin brothers. It’s about healing from trauma, learning your worth, finding home in someone when you’ve spent your life believing you didn’t deserve one, and understanding that fate doesn’t always look the way we expect it to.
I laughed because Sara’s inner thoughts were hilarious. I cried because these characters felt real. And I closed the book feeling like I had to say goodbye to people I had genuinely come to love.
Some stories end when you turn the last page.
Twin Flame stayed with me long after I closed the book. 🖤🥀

✨ARC BOOK REVIEW ✨
4 ⭐️ Twin Flame sent me on a rollercoaster, and it was worth it!! I was hooked, and there was no going back for me. This book has so many twists and turns; I was on the edge of my seat. I personally think it’s best to go in blind with this one. There’s so much I want to say, but it will spoil it. I really loved how strong Sara is throughout the book as a 19-year-old. That poor girl went through so much; my heart broke for her. My twins Joe & Liam went through so much as well; I just want to hug them all and hold them. Joe is our sweet, kind twin, and then Liam (my king) is the mysterious, brooding brother. I did love Joe and Sara together, but then Liam entered the chat, and it was over. Liam and Joe are involved in shady business around town, and it slowly starts coming to light throughout the book.I loved how much Liam and Sara dealt with their grief together and helped one another. Now I wish we would’ve gotten more romance between Liam and Sara. I wasn’t fully convinced of their romance. This also was only a 4-star for me cause I did figure out one of the plot twists, but the other twists had me gagged. I’m excited for the next book in the series. 🖤🖤

Advanced reader review
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Twin Flame. Once I was hooked there was no going back! Its twisty, action packed and full of tension.
The grief these characters experience is so unique to them and beautifully captured. You can't stop your heart from breaking for each of them.
I loved the storyline and found it completely gripping. Vigilante justice at its finest! The twists kept me guessing throughout and kept me on the edge of my seat.
The tension between Sara and Liam is palpable and the spice is perfection. Who doesn't love a morally grey MMC?! 👌😅
❤️ Forbidden love
❤️ Morally Grey MMC
❤️ Rivals to Lovers
❤️ Touch her and 💀
❤️ Found family
❤️ Forced proximity
❤️ Age gap

𝙳𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 : For the ones who needed to be held, but were left forgotten and yet rose to never be forgettable again, You're a badass.
𝚃𝚛𝚘𝚙𝚎𝚜 : rivals to lovers | forced proximity | tension | found family | morally black MMC | age gap
𝙾𝚞𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝙲𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚝 𝚀𝚞𝚘𝚝𝚎 : My ovaries are officially skewered.
𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗯 : I loved this book. Our sweet FMC and MMC are well and truly damaged. Yet somehow, they balance each other.
I’m always a broken boy kind of MMC girl. & oof, Liam checks alllllllll the boxes. Sweet beautifully broken soul who just wants to be loved.
Then we have our FMC, Sara. She has a lot going on with the belief that everyone leaves or hurts her. She self sabotages. & deals in other ways. She needs to find healing. *𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘴.*
When something bad happens to Liam and Sara, he tries his best to hate her. However, they’re drawn together like twin flames.
But in the background, there’s things even darker happening in their town. & Sara finds herself right in the middle of it. However, Liam is already immersed in this world. Things might be even worse than it seems.
Does hate always equal hate? Are some secrets meant to stay that way? Can someone broken be helped? & can a group save themselves and others?
Also - this book has some twists that I hardcore didn’t see coming. Round of applause.

First off I’m so appreciative to have been an arc reader for this book and I’m excited to be apart of the street team :) This book handles grief and healing very well. What a ride this book takes you through and the plot twists!! If you love Vampire Diaries I feel you will love this. I say that because Sara gives Elena and Liam gives Damon while Joe gives Stefan. Sara and Joe I was invested in them I was curious where that was going but then boom the story takes a turn and we get into Sara and Liam and man what a ride that was!! The yearning and obsession there was soooo good!! Such a ride this book took me through and I ate it up!! The Laurent brothers is something else and I definitely think that Liam Laurent will be everyone new book boyfriend for sure ;) I’m excited for the next book in the series!! Julie S Blake is definitely an author that is next up and my new fave dark romance author :) this was done so well.
**Spoiler**
Getting to the end and seeing that book 2 is Artemis and Damien ahhhh I can’t wait for that!!! I’m very curious about those 👀

Twin Flame pulled me in and refused to let go.
Liam. Joe. Sara. Every one of them got under my skin. The tension was addictive, the chemistry was electric, and more than once I caught myself thinking, there's no way that just happened. The twists kept me completely on edge.
As someone from the South of France, I loved seeing the story unfold somewhere so familiar. It made every scene feel even more vivid.
If you love dark romance with gorgeous characters, simmering tension, and moments that make your heart race, this one deserves a spot on your shelf. I already need the next book.

The emotional roller coaster this book took me on. 😭 I loved every minute of it.
At first I wasn’t sure if I loved Liam and Sara together but their relationship grew on me and I was rooting for them by the end. I enjoyed the mystery of what happened with Joe and the secrets that came to light. Obviously I won’t spoil anything and you’ll just have to find out what happens yourself!
I love love love a protective MMC so I was kicking my feet over Liam. 🤭

This is one of those books where the less I say, the better, because saying too much would give the plot away.
I will say that it was an absolute roller-coaster of a book. Love, betrayal, survival, grief, and trauma are all at the forefront in this one.
The story has incredible suspense, with plenty of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. Once things started unraveling, I could not put it down.
Oh, and the spice was absolutely on point, and there is one scene that had my jaw dropping and had me blushing!
I thought this was a fantastic debut novel, and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

I DEVOURED THIS BOOK, this story, this masterpiece. I read it in about 3-4 days and mind you, I’m not a fast reader. I spill my heart out about it on my Instagram (b00kedonromantasy) if you want to see. But I was not sure what I was really expecting going into this book but the way I related, and felt every damn emotion each of these characters felt. You form a connection with them and it literally has your heart all in it. Trauma. Healing. Trauma. Spice. Slow burn. Twin brothers. Age gap. Plot twists. Heartache. I am BOOK HUNGOVER. I got whiplash and I enjoyed every second. This book is one you must read, but when you do, you won’t want to put it down. Truly such a good story and I’d read it all over again and put my heart through all of it.

This book will wreck you, give you all the emotions and hold on for a great time. Our characters go thru trauma and find a way to get together. This is the authors debut book and its so good. Loved this story.

I admittedly am not usually one to read a love triangle trope, but I think the way it was handled in this book is pretty unique and added well to the drama. So much drama! It's a compelling read, and I could barely put it down. Great debut -- sign me up for book 2!

This book was everything I was looking for and more. This has emotional trauma, healing love, high stakes, suspense, and so much more. Plus twin brothers….. need I say more?? I truly connected with these characters on another level. Don’t hesitate to pick this one up!

What a debut. It's a ride for sure. It starts a little slow for me but then it's a rollercoaster. It's twisty and emotional. Highly recommend.

The best rollercoaster ride ever
I’ve never read a book that made me feel EVERY emotion as strongly as I did in Twin Flame. There are so many twists and turns and even when you think you’ve figured everything out here comes Julie to throw some more curve balls.
I’m still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor.
Needless to say I will absolutely be reading the next 2 books as well!

I enjoyed this. The tropes caught my eye immediately and I missed the fact that this was the author’s debut! It was well written and emotional. I went into the story mostly blind (per my usual style) and I was surprised at the assumptions I made about the story based on the cover and tropes that were so far off from the depth that was within the story. There were some heavy elements to it so please be sure to check your triggers but it was a gripping story!
Thank for the opportunity to arc read this story!

The twists in this book were *chef’s kiss*
It’s a story of overcoming grief in the most unlikely of places! If you understood why Elena Gilbert fell for Damon Salvatore, this book belongs on your TBR 👏🏼 no we don’t have vampires in here, sorry babes, but they’re extremely hot French men who appreciate a delicious baguette.
There’s such a unique plot in here that I’ve never read before and I’m trying to avoid spoilers as best as I can. I love going into a book blind, but I’m also not easily triggered by tropes. Check you’re of course 🫶🏼
The tension though….. dayuuumn, like hot damn 😅
