Burn: The Beast and the Bird

by Sarah Bale

BEAST
I’m the man who always wins.
My prize? Her.
She brings out the beast in me.
She thinks she can outrun us.
She can’t.
My men and I will do everything to catch her,
Break her,
Tame her.

DOVE
My father is determined to ruin us,
Selling me to pay his debts.
I’m not going to sit by,
So I take my siblings and run,
To escape this provincial life.
Too bad they like to chase.

Our passion leads to pain,
Pleasure leads to peril,
And the biggest one of all,
They’re going to make me BURN,
In body, mind, and heart.

Luca aka the Beast has been watching Dove for awhile and is obsessed with her. Dove is just trying to do the best she can with what she has for her and her siblings. She works two jobs to help pay for everything cause her dad is just an abuser. When she runs into her new professor who is super attractive they end up hitting off together outside of class. When her dad can't pay his debt off to Luca he sells Dove off. When Dove arrives at Lucas to become his pet things don't go as planned. What happens when you fall for your captor? What happens to people when they mess with the family? What happens when you fall for 3 men?

I really loved this story. The beauty and the beast references were the best and done very well. I really fell hard for Luca, Henri and Maurice! I think I adore this story the most out of the series! I really didn’t want it to end! It was perfect! I love the whole chase vibes as well! It was great to see the family come together!

Dove and her messed- up men

I liked this book ,but the whole premise of this is disturbing.The Chase,by itself, is not anywhere near normal.The fact that Dove is the only woman to survive it shows the start of the change in the cousins.Henri finds her first,but doesn't know that Luca has been stalking her. Luca is scary and twisted,Maurice is broken and sad,and Henri is the most normal of them all.It is a pretty strange story but the characters kept my interest.The other Mafia bosses ( and their wives) are woven throughout this story.
It was nice to see how they were doing.As a whole,I enjoyed this series, including this book.

Not my fav in the series. Felt a little all over the place and just like something was missing.
