ARC BOOK REVIEW: Strike and Burn by Taylor Hutton
REVIEW:
Thank you Netgalley.com for a free copy of this book. I am leaving this review voluntarily and all opinions are mine.
I really liked the concept of this book and wasn't disappointed. Honor and Strike meet at the morgue when Honor is identifying her twin sister. They have an instant connection but it's the wrong time.
Both Strike and Honor have interesting back stories that we learn sporadically
through flashbacks. I don't want to give too much away but both of these
characters are broken. Grief is heavy in this book but is done well.
I wish that Strikes dark side wasn't brought forward in the way that it was,
it just seemed out of character. I also wish that Honor's best friend hadn't
disappeared in the end of the book. She was a great character and I wanted to
see more of her. I was actually hoping that some sparks would flare between
her and Strikes mysterious Scottish friend.
While there were some things I would change in the book overall I thought it
was a solid read. Not spicy but heavy on emotion.

Honor Stone is all alone in this world. No family, no money, no future. So when she locks eyes with Strike Madden—in the morgue of all places—she’s not in the mood to be seduced. Sure, he’s drop-dead gorgeous, and the sizzle of attraction between them is undeniable, but she’s reeling from her identical twin sister’s murder. It’s the wrong time, wrong place, wrong everything.
Still, the enigmatic billionaire hires Honor as an artist to spearhead his carefully curated erotic animation studio—a job they soon find to be a dangerous mix of business and pleasure.
But when her twin’s obsessive killer targets Honor, the painful secrets of Honor’s traumatic past will finally be exposed with devastating consequences. Strike will stop at nothing to protect her, uncovering his own bone-chilling demons—a beautifully broken, dark side that doesn’t scare Honor…
It consumes her.
