Julian!
I loved all of Abbi's books but out of all the other ones I think this one is the best by far, I just loved Julian how he felt lost that he didn't want to be in the family business ,Then all of a sudden he's thrown into it and he feels like there's no way out, then here comes Cate she is also being blackmailed by her boss she also lost then Julian helps her and they for a connection a hot and steamy one finally they found true love and Julian thinks of was to get away from his family it was totally unexpected ending amazing I would highly recommend it Abbi you have done it again 5 stars.....

Excellent again!
This book had me sorta scratching my head at the beginning. This book started out so differently than the first two, but I guess that makes sense since Julian was such a different character than his brothers. This story was great. Cate is such a unique character on her own, that pairing her with Julian made for a very exciting story. I loved the inclusion of her relationship with her brother. Her personal struggles were such a defining part of her character. Julian's persona changed to a darker image after the wrath of Stephan and Helix reared its ugly head, but this story of Cate and Julian was amazing!

Cate and Julian
The Rules are one messed-up family.The cruelty almost made me give this 4 stars.Stephen Rule is an unstable man .Helix is horrible. Julian had his dreams and future smashed for no apparent reason. I'm sure there is a reason,but there are so many secrets, plots, selfishness and twisted reasoning to this family and story that you never know who will do what to whom next or why.Nick is back from Europe and tight with Helix the Horrible so more back-stabbing is sure to unfold in the next book,"Play".This series is more mind-screw than outright violence,but is really intense and complicated in a good but twisted way.

Ok. Ok. Ok. I am solidly impressed. This series is amazing. I am surprised by each chapter written. I found myself happy but a bit sad with the conclusion, but that is me as could possibly not be you. I can see many readers being thrilled. Julian and Cate’s story was just what the doctor ordered.

This is my favorite out of the series so far. I loved it. The story the flow and just how everything turned out was great. Smart guys always come out on top and Julian was playing no games when it was time.

I was SO excited for Julian's book after the bombshell we got at the end of Take, and Abbi did not disappoint!
Julian is highly intelligent, but not in an arrogant way. That's not to say he's not a villain though, he is a Rule after all and so he knows how to manipulate and twist situations to his advantage 😈
Cate was so relatable, she's been through so much pain and just wants to do whatever she can to get out on the other side in one piece along with her brother and mother.
Their journey was far from smooth or easy, and their beginning was definitely bumpy! But when they came out the other side I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful ride for them 😍
I'm so excited to see what happens with Nick in his book next! And I'm also super excited for Helix's story 😈

Abbi Cook has done it again! Burn is Julian's journey and his dad Stephen has outdone himself this time. Being highly educated and extremely intelligent it comes at a bit of a surprise when Stephen gives Julian his "orders" on the role he'll play in the family.
It's Julian Rule's turn now to become a member of the Order of Impuratus aka the Villains Club. He's also put in charge of running Inferno, a strip club and sex den. It goes without saying he's not happy with either. His journey is filled with surprises, twists and turns that you won't see coming. This entire series is freakin PHENOMENAL and I can't wait to see what this author does with Nick, the baby of the family and that pain in the a*s Helix. We can count on quite the adventure that's for sure.

Julian's story is the third book of the Villians Club Series about Rule brothers. This book is about Julian Rule and his Cate. Julian must be inducted into the Order of Impuratus that is demanded by his father Stephen Rule> Julian had plans to continue his education as his father had promised. But Stephen never follows the rule. He has to take over he management of his father's adult club that's known as Inferno. Julian has no interest but does as he is told. It is there that he meets Cate under some crazy circumstances. They meet again at his father's ball. No spoilers here but all is not what it seems. From that point on you will on the edge of seat so get comfortable for this ride with Julian and Cate. Again the ending will have you screaming I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK!!!

Burn is the third excellent book in the Villians Club Series which focuses on the Rule brothers. This book is the story of Julian Rule and Cate. Julian is required by his father to be inducted into the Order of Impuratus, which his brothers refer as the Villians Club, as well as taking over the management of an adult club known as Inferno which is part of the family business. Cate and Julian have a few bumps along their journey finding love. This well written book has unexpected twists, suspense, sizzling passion, and a surprising ending. The next book in the series is entitled Play.

I loved Julian! He is definitely my favorite Rule brother!! Julian and Cate started off a little rocky but I loved the way they challenged each other. I enjoyed the way their relationship developed and the deep connection they shared. This story was great with a lot of suspense and of course family drama. I love that Julian got his HEA and the ending was amazing. Can't wait to see what happens in Nick's story.
