The FMC was just so annoying, and the story was really dragging.

I love villainous love interests and this checked all of the boxes for me! I love a very morally grey character who will burn the world for the person they love. Morthanion is definitely that character!

I need to get this review written, I need a new concept...
Story.
A demon is sent to an island with other people that mages do not like. The island is hell, wtf is mages thinking, women do not stand a chance there. I get that mages are all, let's get rid of the baddies, but this was such a bad idea. But it makes for an interesting story since people are bad. Though we learn something late on that really makes me hate the mages, they were assholes too.
Characters:
Ok so at first I was really worried about Mort, he is such an alphahole. He sees a woman and is all, I will have her. Omg man, ahole much, and then he makes his I have never raped anyone speech. Which I find hard believing since he is very alphahole. But like always he does get into his big stupid brain that she is his mate. And he does care for her.
Aria, oh this girl was naive beyond words. I get that someone took care of her for 20 years ago, but I have a hard time believing she did not die one day after that person went away. She does have some sort of self-perseverance...at times. And she does go all My demon so very fast.
They are perfect for each other.
Judgement.
It was cheesy in a good way. A fantasy romance with darker moments, passion, and two people who I do not understand are still alive falling in love. So read it for the cheesy escapism.

3.5-4 stars!!
I was really excited to read this book because...THAT COVER IS GORGEOUS!!!!
Getting over my cover lust....
So this was a book about a horrid demon who has the chance to be redeemed through love. We've all read a similar rendition of this story whether it was literal or even metaphorical. However, Tiffany Roberts brings a fresh new voice to this wonderful story that never gets old. The romance between Morthanion and Aria was instant which was not something I particularly liked. I was a little wary of the insta-soulmate reveal and we allllll know I am not a fan of insta anything. As the story progressed I realized it was quite one sided on Morthanion's part, Aria was REALLY hesitant and I really liked that!
The writing was great and very well paced. I could actually see the situations in this book play out in my head with the language used. The prose was beautiful and their expressions of love were...AWESOME! My heart hurt a few times! *sighhhhhhhhhhh*
It wasn't just Fantasy and war and fighting. We get some STEAMY scenes! I was not prepared for that because of how the book was panning out before these interludes. I was pleasantly surprised and I love being surprised...IN A GOOD WAY! Those scenes were awesome so very well done, Tiffany Roberts!
Morthanion's growth as a character was quite quick and at times, not too believable but then he would do things that would show that he is still struggling with the change happening so I found it a tad bit more believable. I had some other minor issues with this story but I feel like their just related to my preference so 3.5-4 stars is my rating!
A very good debut novel and I will continue on with this series and these wonderful writers!

This was a surprisingly fun book.
It’s a little more on the serious side with topics such as murder and racism taking a strong aspect of the novel. The characters are from two different sides of a coin and struggle to connect, both culturally and personally.
It’s this interplay between characters and their forbidden relationship that makes this novel so fun.
The novel is filled with a lot of action that also drives the story forward, leaving you turning the page.
I definitely recommend.

Make Me Burn is the first book from this author that I have read, but this is a book that I have had on my wishlist for what seems like years. I have seen more of this author lately especially with her spider people series that has come out this past year. But I finally realized I needed to pick this one up and I am so happy that I finally did. I truly had a blast with this one here, While it wasn’t a perfect read, it was a solid one that I thoroughly enjoyed and had such fun elements that I love seeing in epic fantasy. The gist of the story is that our hero, is a demon and has been banished to an island which is where he discovers a woman, with a beautiful voice and an affinity for the water. They form a connection. But they are surrounded by enemies, and they have to learn to trust each other and their bond to reach their HEA.
I had such a fun time with this one here, and I really liked seeing a demon and a sired/mermaid match make it work. But it does take time, they are so different from each other and I just love seeing the way that they learn to trust in each other and while it seems at times they are always back and forth with each other, I really loved seeing the small moments that forge a bond between them. I do wish the hero had been a bit less of an alpha mellow though, but I truly enjoyed the manner in which he treated our heroine. I also think she could have been more accepting of him. He seemed to be the one changing and adapting for her, but it didn’t go the other way around and I wish she had been a bit less judgy. I did love the plot as a whole, it definitely keeps you on your toes and I am so intrigued by the character that will end up being the hero for book two, he was such a fascinating character. Overall I found this one to be a delightful mix of a high fantasy setting, a unique match up and an enticing romance.

Enjoyable Read.
Aria and Thanion's Story was a sweet Love story, I also enjoyed the fact that Thanion was a Demon with sexy wing's (I do so love a pair of wings and horns).
