Amber Rose's Reviews > Beneath the Burn

I have had the privilege to be a beta reader from the very beginning. Pam giving me only a couple of chapters at a time and every single one ended with a cliff hanger. Who does that? Pam Godwin does. Or at least to me she does.

This book does not leave off a cliffhanger by the way since it's a stand alone. Just wanted to make that clear.

Finally being able to read this book through left me with a heart fuzzy feeling. I read this book when there was only 1 chapter and now it's finally finished, is a little emotional for me. Hey you wouldn't think that I'd be the emotional one but I am. Just reading a book grow and reading the characters develop into their own is a magical thing. Pam does this. I am not saying this because she is my bestie. I am very hard on her when it comes to reading a book. I know what I like and I know what I want to read. So, when I say this deserves 5 stars that's what I feel it should get. Okay, that was just me raddiling on. Onto the book now.

"Putting your trust in someone is the most vulnerable thing you can do."

Beneath the Burn takes you into a darker side of the book. But not to dark that you won't see the light. Quite a bit of erotic taste, but there is the thrill in this book that will keep you going until the end.

Let's meet some cast shall we?

MY Jay

"I don't know what you're doing to me, Charlee, but whatever it is melts everything else away. It's the best feeling in the world."

Jay is the lead singer of the band The Burn. Jay is struggling from the very beginning of the book. He has a demon that is eating at him to the very core. He has these nerve ending, blood sucking, ticks, that sets him off from everyone else. But, he is very lovable, I want to wrap my arms around his body and curl him into me so, I can hug him forever. There are some flaws. Flaws that I will not share because you will have to read the book. But, those flaws come out and he shines.

I fucking love Jay. He has become one of my new favorite rock band boyfriends.

Now lets meet

Charlee

"You might be free of your chain, sweetheart, but we both know you aren't really free.

Charlee.... It's hard to put into words of how to talk about her because it would ruin the plot. But I will say, she has been through hell and back and is still fighting to stay strong. She is a survivor.

For nine years, she didn't know who she would cling to, or if she would ever be able to take that risk, clinging to Jay felt...elemental. As if deep within him lay the map to emotions...she'd lost and maybe some she never experienced. She wouldn't let go. No matter how contagious his pain. If she were tough enough to endure hers, could she shoulder his too?

It's hard to say who has been through more between Jay and Charlee. They are both one broken soul trying to gain more into each other with their love. Both have horrible past that keeps popping up. But when both of them are together in a room the temperature goes up. You want them to be together. They need it for their sacks... This is a very emotional roller coaster ride from the beginning till the end.

Fanastic job Pamber! Loved every minute of it. "You're my oyster." ♥
