About the Book

Kerrigan Hale’s personal life is about as exciting as a bucket of tar. With hard work and hustle as her steadfast companions, who needs romance or adventure? Her empire in Calamity, Montana, isn’t going to build itself.

For years, her mentor—and investor—helped make her dreams come true. Until his unexpected death put her fate in his grandson’s hands. A brazen billionaire, he seems intent on ruining Kerrigan’s life.

But if Pierce Sullivan thinks she’ll go down without a fight, he’s sorely mistaken. Pushed to the extreme, she drives to his ritzy mountain lodge to force the arrogant You Can Call Me Mr. Sullivan to hear her out.

No sooner does she arrive than a snowstorm traps her with Pierce. Stranded together for days, she’s in for the battle of her life. Pierce is nearly irresistible by candlelight. Without his suits and fancy cars, he’s almost human.

Except only a fool would let down her guard. And Kerrigan can’t risk her future. Not when she doesn’t know if he’s out to pilfer her dreams . . . or to steal her heart.

Review

This book had a solid start. I was genuinely enjoying the hate relationship between Kerrigan and Pierce, and their desire to stop this instant attraction they had together. Kerrigan because Pierce had come to town to collect a debt that she couldn’t pay. Kerrigan had a business relationship with Pierce’s grandfather before he had passed. Pierce’s complicated relationship with his grandfather, and his assumptions about Kerrigan and his grandfather’s relationship is what fuels his desire to not want to pursue his attraction.

My interest in their story started to decrease towards the middle of the story. Kerrigan and Pierce are trapped in because of a snowstorm and their feeling towards each other quickly change. To quick for my liking, they are no longer enemies and they do a complete 180. Then enter the dramatic twist. Kerrigan and Pierce are separate for months, without contact with each other. It started getting harder to continue this story.

Although I enjoyed Kerrigan and Pierce in the beginning, a lot of their development started to lean on situations that happened off screen. And their story was riddled with annoying tiny time jumps. I would much rather their progression feel natural, and Kerrigan’s forgiveness towards Pierce be slowly earned.

Final Thoughts

The Blazen starts off with a strong hate connection between Kerrigan and Pierce, unfortunately, the book is too afraid to have the main characters hating one another, and forces them to switch their feelings too soon.
