Flames almost killed this ex-firefighter. And the sparks
he’s feeling now might burn what’s left of his heart.
Sabrina
He was a charming S.O.B. when I dated him two years ago, but the Logan Carter who arrives at Bad@ss Builds is a shadow of the one I knew. This Logan is surly, bitter, and scarred—evidence of the fire he survived marks him both inside and out.
Does he really not remember me?
Logan
I’m upright and functioning. Isn’t that enough? I shouldn’t even be alive. And I definitely don’t have time for the bubbly, gorgeous woman from my past who can do better than me.
No matter how much I wish I could be the man she remembers.
Author’s Note: Can be read as a standalone.

“Seriously? I thought you’d be all over that.” The woman was one of the most tenacious I knew. No way she’d just roll over and hide her head in the sand. That wasn’t Sabrina.
“Yeah, I guess it’s taking me a minute to come to terms with the fact that my whole life has been a lie.” She swiped suspiciously at her eyes. But she couldn’t be crying—her voice sounded too flat and matter of fact. “I thought you of all people would get that.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Oh come on. You’ve spent the better part of two years pushing everyone you know and love away from you because you survived when most of your crew didn’t. It doesn’t take a psychologist to see that you have a serious f*cking case of survivor’s guilt.”
“F*ck you.” She didn’t know what the hell she was talking about.
“Already have.” Her smile looked more like a snarl. “Wouldn’t mind having one last throw though.”
“You’re nuts.”
“Takes one to know one.”
I snorted a laugh. Christ, how could she be so cute while being all angry and plastered?
“I’ve heard that angry sex is hot. Maybe we should try it.”
I about swallowed my tongue when she said that. While I was busy sputtering, she leaned over and kissed me. Her hand cupped the side of my face as her lips covered mine.
Contrary to her angry words, she was just as soft and delicious as I remembered. She moaned deep in her throat, and I lost it. I took control of the kiss, moving my lips over hers, relearning everything I forgot I knew about her.
I pulled her onto me until she straddled me then pulled her face down to mine so I could kiss her some more. While I was busy kissing her, our hands roamed. I had my hands full of her amazing tits and was thinking about the best way to get her bra off. Because I loved her breasts. They were gorgeous and soft and just everything. I had to have more.
Sabrina must’ve thought the same since her hands raked down my back, her nails scoring my skin under my shirt.
I stiffened.
That used to be something I loved, but not anymore. I couldn’t bear to even look at that part of me in the mirror, let alone touch it. I sure as hell didn’t want her to feel my f*cked-up skin.
A prickling sensation swept over my scalp and my body heated in a way that had absolutely nothing to do with the alcohol or the gorgeous woman on my lap. I pulled back and gulped to keep the champagne down.
Sabrina slumped into me with a moan. “Is the room spinning, or is that just me? Or maybe it’s you.”
F*ck. I held her a little bit away from me, wary she was going to puke. She blinked blearily back at me and smiled.
I sighed. “You’re wasted. We can’t do this.”
What had I been thinking? Everything about this was so f*cking wrong.
But I still really wanted to. My dick throbbed impatiently under her round ass.
We hated each other. Or something. I couldn’t remember exactly. Something else held claim to the majority of my blood flow.

Sabrina loves her brothers. She works in the background of their very successful bike shop. With her past mostly hidden from them, she knows that someone out there is for her, she just has to be patient to find them. However, with as many brothers as she has, finding someone who they approve of is tough.
Logan was once a firefighter. But when tragedy strikes, he knows that he can't go back to that. However, leaving that life behind is easier said than done. His new job allows him to still keep up with fire safety, just in a different capacity.
When Sabrina and Logan meet again, a few years later, it's a chilly reunion. Both remember what they did have and what could have been, but with trust gone, they will both have to decide if they are worth fighting for. There were times when I just wanted to scream at Logan. He was stubborn and very immature. Also, while I really enjoyed the story, it felt more young adult than the others.
Overall, it was enjoyable and I liked watching both Sabrina and Logan figure out that they were worth it.
Mary – ☆☆☆☆
This series is fun, flirty, sexy, intense, painful, and full of love. I think this book is my favorite so far.
Sabrina works with her cousins at the motorcycle shop. When a man shows up to see about installing fire safety equipment, it turns out to be her ex-boyfriend. Logan used to be fun, loving, and carefree, now he is bitter, mean, and acts like he doesn't know her.
Logan realizes who Sabrina is the minute he walks into the motorcycle shop. But the sooner he gets through looking around, the sooner he can get away from her. He is not the same man she knew, and he doesn't want her to see his scars. He notices she looks as good or better than she did two years ago but she deserves someone better than him.
Can Sabrina get Logan to see that they still have feelings for each other? Can she tell him her secret without pushing him over the edge? Will Logan give them another chance? Can he accept help to make his future better?
This story is filled with Logan and Sabrina's pain that will have you crying, and the Burns brothers and their wild ways will have you laughing. But when they come together, this is the best of the Burns Brothers so far, in my opinion anyway. I recommend you read them all and I think you can read them as a standalone too. So enjoy them, I really did.
