Ru knows her family will never approve of their relationship. Harden by life, Valentina understands him in ways no one else ever could. Will he let her go? She’s flint. He’s steel. Alone they are strong, together they create fire. Valentina has met her match in Ru. Guarded by circumstance, Val doesn't do commitments, nor does she have time to date. Devoting herself to a career in medicine is the only thing she plans on doing. Medicine is the only thing she'll ever love, or, so she tries to convince herself. The dark-haired grey eyed Russian she met in her teens is relentless in his pursuit of her. They play a game of cat and mouse, but Val tries her hardest to not get caught in his trap. The two of them will never work, especially with secrets lingering. The innocent girl Valentina once was will soon be gone forever. She’s a match and he’s gasoline. She’s wrong for him— He needs her. He’s wrong for her— She craves him. Propane in a room full of lit candles, it’s only a matter of time before something catches fire.

I think I'm catching fire!!

Damn! Nalla had me transfixed with "Running" the first in this series and I couldn't wait to pick up "Catching Fire " I for one am thankful I did. *Swoon*

Rustam and Valentina's story is filled with twists and turns that run rampant around forbidden love, danger and lust. But come on, who doesn't love a bad boy, especially a dangerous bad boy?

Nalla kept me engaged and eager to continue on with Ru and Vali's journey. And boy did they evoke some emotions, whew... The magnetism and fire between these two is undeniable and I can not wait for the next book in the series.

Bring on book 3!!
