Wicked Flame by Ella Frank Blog Tour

JAMESON

Life is hard. I learned that at an early age growing up on the South Side of Chicago. I accepted it, even came to expect it. With a sister who was a constant source of worry, and a track record of losing anyone even remotely close to me, trouble seemed to follow me no matter where I turned.

Some people were born lucky. I was just born.

That’s what I used to believe, anyway, until GQ. The gorgeous guy in the fancy clothes who for some reason decided to look twice at me. He gave me a place to call my own, a space to feel safe, and he made me believe in the impossible—that love was more than just a four-letter word.

RYAN

Life is unexpected. I learned that just recently when I walked into a bar on the South Side and found the love of my life—Jameson Clarke.

He’s everything I’ve always wanted, and yet somehow even better than I imagined. He’s brave, brash, protective of those he loves, and under all that bravado is a vulnerability that calls to my very soul.

Jameson’s a storm cloud, but he thinks I’m the sun. If that’s true, then I’m determined to break through the shadows of his past and steal his heart the way he’s stolen mine.

Wicked Flame is book two in Ryan Carrigan & Jameson Clarke's story and should be read after Wicked Heat.

Wicked Flame is the second part of Ryan and Jameson’s duet in the Chicago Heat series. You cannot read this as a standalone. It must be read after Wicked Heat to get the full effect of the storyline. Wicked Flame picks up right where Wicked Heat left us.

Jameson is looking after his sister after finding her beaten and bruised and Ryan is right there beside him. Ryan knows he's in this for the long haul and is patient with Jameson to come to the same conclusion. When Jameson finds a reminder of the worst day of his life, Ryan is there to pick up the pieces when Jameson shatters, telling him the details of the fire that took his best friend and brother and finds a way to honor him.

I loved seeing Jameson realizing he is capable of loving and of being loved. The patience Ryan shows Jameson while he works it out is heartwarming. Their chemistry is as explosive as ever. And as always, I loved getting a peek at past characters sharing the same world, especially Alexander, Sean, Marcus, and Gabe. It honestly was the perfect conclusion for Ryan and Jameson!

I can't wait to see what's coming next!!

This is the second book in the series, and you most definitely need to read them in order. In fact, I would recommend that you start with Try and read the whole Chicago family of books, which are just the hottest, cutest, and most fun ever!

We left Jameson and Ryan (yes, that cliffhanger was not kind!) at an event, where Jameson felt very uncomfortable at the charity being supported, and then has to dash off to try and rescue his sister... again. It came at a pivotal moment, they finally can see a way forward – until Jameson really can't all over again.

Given Ella Frank's habit of ramping up the tension when it comes to reaching a happily ever after, there are plenty of events and incidents which make one's heart constrict in worry, but you can trust we will get there in the end.

I loved the catch-ups with Ryan's best buddy Gabe and his beau, Marcus, as well as Sean and Ryan's boss, Alexander. This interconnected group of men form such a supportive, honest band of friends; it is always fun being in their company – even when they are replaying quotes to the person having doubts! Add in Ryan's family and their ability to draw in the very much insular Jameson, and one cannot help but smile in happiness for them both

Absolutely delicious addition to the series, thank you. Ella Frank!

This is the second book in the duet and you must read the first book in order to follow along. Honestly, I recommend you read all of the author’s books – they are amazeballs.

This book picks right up where the first left off. This book was just a lovefest, and I was there for every moment. I love Jameson and Ryan; they got the happily ever after they deserved and I'm so glad. The next two books in the series are also duets and I can't wait!
