I read this book via an Amazon-US KINDLE Unlimited download.
What happens when you take a captivating, handsome, Plastic Surgeon who insists in keeping his professional and personal lives totally separate. Dr. Javin St.Clair is constantly being pursued from both sides; by clients wanting his skilled hands to rid them of their deformities on one side, and woman just wanting to claim his body and make him their own.
Everything is fine, fine that is until he decides to hire a nursing assistant. Sage Lauren Grace Saunders, is a highly skilled professional who has confused his mind and winds up turning his life upside down by her outrageous beauty, and has him running after her.
The life alternating effect which had affected Javin’s existence when he hired Sage also winds up changing her life as well. While he might enjoy having an arrogant and wealthy following, Javin’s real passion is to help those who’ll never be able to afford his skilled hands; which he why he invites Sage to join him for his on his next mission into the Australian outback to a clinic situated there. Ms. Lindsey could have easily given her readers a hot, steamy reading experience, but instead has given them one which is a sweet, clean romantic one. She embellishes the reading experience with a sprinkling of Javin’s desire to share and educate Sage with some Christian beliefs. So, in the end, with all things considered, I happy to give Ms. Lindsey 5 STARS for her efforts here.
NOTE: The author has used the British spelling of certain words and Australian terminology in the writing of this book, which shouldn’t distract from the reading of this book.
Lindsey pens a wonderful story in Consuming Fire: A Plastic Surgeon's Desire. I am a fan of Lindsey's work, and her writing style. I am drawn to her characters, such as Sage, and how the reader is following along and living with her. Sage and St. Clair aren't forced together, but find each other together, and on a mission. The characters are well developed and have a lot of depth. This is one of those clean romances that is definitely worth the read. Lindsey writes so well, and tells a great story. I look forward to reading more by this author.
I loved reading about the Outback location and the people who live there. Sage and Kevin's story is very heartwarming. This is a clean romance that I think everyone will enjoy reading.
This is a clean romantic story set in the outback of Australia. The language is a little different from the US English and there are a few words that I was unfamiliar with, however that didn't detract from the story. The storyline was unique and strong, however the ending felt a little rushed. The characters were strong and showed development as the story unfolded. In the story Javin was able to explain basic Christian beliefs to Sage without it being the main focus of the story. I was given an ARC book for an honest voluntary review.
