With Hearts of Flame (Deluxe Limited Edition): A Dark Academia Romantasy Novel of Vampires and Dragons Featuring Stenciled Edges and Illustrated Endpapers (Bloodwing Academy, 4)
Briar Boleyn
by Blake R. Wolfe
He’s a hot redhead in distress and I’m a Viking Alpha werewolf with a pack in turmoil. Even though our romance is forbidden and he’s a man, no wolf can resist the call of his fated mate.
Thor
I’ve always trusted the visions of my brother and when he told me to run, I didn’t hesitate. The Skoll pack, led by the ruthless Alpha who killed our father, is out for blood. But when I shifted and took off into the woods, I never expected to find an injured human with red hair and a pair of green eyes that could seduce me with a glance.
Against my better judgment, I secretly took him back to the hot springs my pack operates. There I made the biggest mistake of my life by kissing him in a moment of weakness. And now I’m not sure I can ever let him go. But I’m still keeping secrets from him.
However, when the Skoll leader sets his sights on my new mate, I fear I might lose him forever.
Flynn
I moved to Fenris to take care of my grandmother and to get away from the uncertainty of the city. But the mountain she lives on holds its own dangers. When I accidentally end up off the path after dark, the last thing I expected was to take a bad step and break my leg. Then, when a hulking wolf with glowing yellow eyes finds me in the dark, I’m not sure I’ll survive the night.
The next morning I wake up in a resort, cared for by a hulking man who speaks little but cares for me day and night. I’m impatient to get home to my grandmother, but he won’t let me leave until I’m healed. When I try to run away, he rescues me again and kisses me, forging a bond between us that I can’t resist.
But, the closer I try to get, the more he pulls away. He’s hiding something and I’m going to find out what it is.

Brilliant book which I totally loved and would thoroughly recommend hoping that others enjoy it as well. In the paranormal world same sex mates are quite common but not really desired by the pack for the Alpha. What happens when on top of the person being male he’s also a human? Such is the predicament for Thor when he finds Flynn hurt from a fall on the mountain. Feature in an unstable Alpha from another pack and you have a recipe for a great tale. ) 2 people found this helpful

This was a fun read. I was under the impression that the werewolves in the book were of the bipedal monster variety, so finding out that they spend most of the book looking human was a bit disappointing, but the story was good and the caretaking was top tier. I didn’t love the time skip toward the end and would rather have seen how things played out after the climactic scene. The writing is good, the characters were interesting, and overall, I had a good time. ) 2 people found this helpful

This book was a quick and fun read. I enjoyed the couple and how ridiculous they both were at the beginning. The general plot was interesting enough but we’ll see if it has enough interest and potential to hold up all three books. The spice was fun but sometimes the descriptions were a bit cringe. (If I have to read the word “flop” one more time I might just have to dnf.) I’m curious enough about the rest of the story that I’ll read the next. Tropes: Fated Mate, Forced Proximity, Knotting,...

The book has quick paced paranormal near insta lust that is wicked hot. There is some action and a plot but the intense steam, in my mind, quickly surpasses all else. Fated mates, human versus werewolf, secrets all around and the big baddie are all in this enjoyable story. The mm is very very hot and deeply deep IYKYK ) 3 people found this helpful
