I’m still blown away by Drew’s sudden attack on my lips. He left without so much as a goodbye or a here’s my number. I don’t know why it bothers me so much, but it does. One moment I’m sad, wondering if I’ll ever see him again, and the next I’m pissed off that yet again, a man has staked their claim on me and then just bailed.
Ugh…what the hell is happening to me? I don’t think about guys. I dream of sex. Of multiple orgasms. But I don’t think of guys as anything more than just that—a way to get off.
But Drew…yeah, he’s different. He’s a blend of sexy meat layered with a sense of entitlement. He knows he’s hot—he has to know. His muscles are practically popping out of his tight t-shirt. And I’m pretty sure I even saw some ink under those sleeves. Had he given me more than two minutes, my hands would’ve wandered up those arms and felt those muscles.
Ugh…dammit.
Must get Drew out of my head.
“Fuck this shit,” I yell at myself. I waltz back into the bar, searching for him through the crowd that’s gotten rowdier since the next game started.
I spot him near the back, laughing with his friends as they continue watching the game. I stalk over, grab him by the arm, and drag him with me into the back hallway.
“Feisty little thing, aren’t you?” I let go of his arm once we make it down the hall where it’s quiet. “Fucking hell, you’re strong.” He rubs his arm with his hand.
“What the hell was that?” I demand.
“I should ask you the same thing, Doll.” He eyes me curiously, not giving away his thoughts.
“Do you typically go around kissing girls like that and then bailing? Or am I the exception?” I realize I’m practically yelling at him, demanding answers, but I don’t care. He’s messing with me, and I don’t like it.
He thinks for a moment before responding. “I suppose you could be the exception to many things.” He grins, roaming his eyes up and down my body again.
I’m dumbstruck and bewildered by him. Fuck it. I grab his face in my hands and force his mouth back on mine. I’m not ready to leave his lips just yet—I need more.
He happily reciprocates, wrapping his arms around my waist as he backs me up against the wall behind me. The kiss isn’t sweet and tender like before, but rather needy and aggressive. The intensity is overwhelming, but I give in and let him take control of the kiss.
His hands roam down my ass and thighs, lifting my legs up as they wrap around his waist. He pushes hard against me, making me throb in between my legs as I feel his erection against me. Shit, he’s hard. I so desperately want to submit to my knees and take him in my mouth, but I don’t just yet. I’m too mesmerized by his mouth, his taste, that nothing else seems to matter but getting more of him.
“Oh my god, Drew…I want you. I want you right now,” I whimper out. There’s no point in beating around the bush. I want him so fucking bad.
“What do you want, Doll?” he asks, not parting our lips. “What can I give you?” he asks again softly.
Jesus…the sound of his voice is so fucking captivating. Panty-dropping, heartbeat-skipping sexy.
“Come home with me. Please.”
What the hell…I’m begging now? I don’t beg men. But shit…I’m ready to beg for him. I guess there really is an exception to certain wants.

I have to rate Flame 5 hot, sizzling, get your tissue ready stars. Out of all 3 books Flame will have you in tears by the time you finish. Happy tears and sad tears. There might even be a part where you want to scream at the top of your lungs "What the hell is she thinking?" I know I sure did. I wanted to get on Facebook and email Brooke asking her why? why? did you do that? But I didn't. I kept reading. You need to keep reading.
That being said, as much as I wanted to know Carissa's story. I wasn't happy on how she treated herself. I get why she did it, but I wasn't happy. She is bright, happy, and always willing to help Velaney. But to see how she treated herself with men wasn't really what I wanted to see. I loved the story, her story. How she became who she is. We all have a back story and it isn't always roses. We all have that 1 think that will make us happy, that we crave. For Carissa sex was that. She is your male version of Christian Grey and Gideon Cross. But she wasn't rich and she didn't have them sign contracts. With a history of men there is trouble. Right when Carissa straighten's up her act, men from her past keep popping up causing trouble.
It took Drew to open up her eyes, and her heart. She wanted more of Drew and that wasn't how things went with her.
Who wouldn't want Drew? Hot, British, Football player? OMG I died and gone to heaven. They clicked right away. They both dominate in the bed LOL!! It was hard for Carissa to give up control but once she did, she fell in love. With every couple there are problems. Carissa and her string of men, Drew who was an exchange college student who was due to go back home. What was she to do? Should she drop everything and leave overseas with him? or should she stay and be miserable?
I will say that Drew is what Carissa needed. He helped her give up her past, to forgive those who hurt her. In order for her to forgive she could move forward. When she did that Drew was there for her. There is so much more I want to say. But I don't want to give to much away. Flame will have you made, sad and happy. You will want to scream, but then you will cry because of the HEA!! Brooke did a number on this book. I am happy with the way this series ended. If you haven't read Flame yet, you need to right now.
