Review

From the beginning, I knew Combust was going to sear itself right on my heart. It stripped my emotions bare. Austin and Melina are two bruised and battered souls you can't help but root for. Austin's thirst for revenge is often merciless, but as Melina bares herself to him, both emotionally and physically, the reader can sense a subtle change in him. Combust was raw, gritty, savage, and when it ended, I begged for more. ~ LK Shaw, best-selling author of The Secrets Series

From the Author

Combust is darker than the other books in the Hotter Than Hell series and packed with strong language, violence, and steamy scenes to keep you turning the page. Of course I threw in a touch of humor too. Combust can be read as a standalone but so much yummier when read in order. ~Holly

    *Contains Spoilers* Damn Holly S. Roberts, you are AMAZING!!! I just finished your book and I absolutely LOVED it! It was dark but yet SO enticing and kept me captivated the entire time. In the beginning, I couldn't stand Austin and wanted Melina to get a hold of something, anything to knock him out and escape the initial horror she was enduring but women's, YOU actually made me end up liking Austin! I have to say my favorite part of the book was when Melina saw the ink that Austin created on her body for the first time. During their sessions when she opened up to him about her past, Austin was listening and inked her body with the happy memories that Melina shared with him....Feather, the zoo, the elephant, her Mom, the ribbon and the word MINE, which he added on his own. I also loved being able to read about Mak again because I have always liked her and I love how protective she is with the girls, especially with Melina in this book. You're SO talented, Holly!!! Thank you for yet another GREAT book to a FANTASTIC series and a story created by your brilliant mind!! I already can't wait for the next book in this extremely Hotter than Hell Series!!

    Kidnapping a woman for revenge. She is a blank canvas for him to tattoo on. Three weeks he kept her. Austin is a coldblooded killer. He has no remorse. When he took Melina to revenge the deaths of his boss and wife, he didn't know what he's letting himself in for. He took her to make her brother pay for the deaths of Victor and Cindy. What he didn't plan for, was falling in love
    This book met my expectations, above and beyond. Miss Holly you really are awesome. The story flows from beginning to end.
    I so love that Moon and Gomez is back in this book. He's as quirky as ever. The man has a sense of humor, although he rarely smiles
    This is a spectacular end to an amazing series, or is it the end? Who doesn't love a crime boss who kills for the right reasons? And who doesn't adore a man who protects the woman he loves with his life?

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Dark And Raw Tale
    Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2018
    Format: Kindle
    Austin Miller has gone through what a child should never have to. But that experience is part of the reason of what he is as an adult. Melina Maria Fernandez suffers revenge at someone else’s hand. Some may want to call it abuse and only you can decide which it is. It’s a story with some very strong emotions so don’t go into this story expecting smiles or hearts and flowers. It’s a dark tale that’s raw with no excuses.

    Even knowing how dark the tale is, I found myself wanting to know what came before. But I didn’t feel, at any time, that I needed the previous five books in order to understand what was going on here. I did however become curious about Mak so I’ve already marked it for my TBR list. If you’re a “vanilla” type of person, what’s going on between Austin and Melina is on the other end of that spectrum so you need to understand that before opening this book.

    I found this story to be confusing – just couldn’t figure it out. Where are Austin and our author taking the reader? In this case I didn’t mind because the author has done a good job at getting me to turn the page as well as wanting to know more about the Hotter Than Hell series. It takes almost the whole book to find that Austin created a masterpiece, which left me a little disappointed because I’ll never get the chance to see it. This book reminds me of a train. It starts off slow and picks up steam until it gets us to our destination. But in this case it felt like someone pulled the emergency break – we come to an abrupt halt. It’s sad to say that I can’t find if this is the end of a series or if it will continue. I’m left with a curiosity and that only time, and the author, will tell if book seven is in the works.

    I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

    I’m going to start by saying this is not my typical book, but that being said...I absolutely loved it. Very intense kept you on edge, without spoiling it for anyone that hasn’t read it yet I wanted to strangle Austin! It’s a dark romance so if your put off in the beginning keep reading it will be well worth it. Both main characters are strong willed and will make a perfect pair if they can “sort” it all out.
    I had gone back and reread previous books in the series just to be prepared for this when it came out. You don’t have to but it brings you up to speed. My favorite is Ignite, but will definitely reread combust again!! Oh and little spoiler....I need to get another TATTOO...but I will not have Austin be my artist. Once again Holly S Roberts nails it!! Please never stop creating.

    I have no idea how I can hate a character so much to then fall in love with him; but Holly Roberts has that formula. The whole series has been a love hate relationship; however, this story is do dark it was almost a walk away from for me. So happy I did not as it became my favorite in the series. I cried, screamed and OK throw the kindle (ouch). After all that, I fell in love with the story. Great characters with depth and flaws to make them believable with a story line to keep you hooked. Seeing past characters with a bonus and OMG the ending!

    At first I didn't think I'd like the 'theme' to this book but as I continued reading, it drew me in until I became totally immersed in the story and the characters. Loved how the male character changes and finds a little bit of humanity. how the woman he hates becomes his perfectly matched partner. But it's not all dark gloom and doom, there is a fair amount of humour which lightens the mood and had me laughing out loud in parts. Great addition to this series and am anxiously awaiting the next installment!

    I've been a massive fan of Holly Roberts for many years so I've been looking forward to reading this book for a while and she certainly doesn't disappoint. I don't think I've hated a character as much as I did Austin at the beginning of this book, his whole persona was arrogant and I just wanted to hit him. I loved Melina and my heart broke for her and the way her life had been. The relationship between the two is very complicated and slightly messed up but as you read the book you understand why it is that way and you end up rooting for them. I can't wait to read the next instalment of the series as I know I won't be disappointed. Great read!!!

    Melina has had a really tough life. She’s been abused by her father and her brother for years, lost her mom when she was a teenager and been told her virginity will be sold to the highest bidder. But Austin throws a wrench in her brother’s plans when he kidnaps her, but she’s a fighter and she will survive. She just doesn’t expect him to do what he does! After weeks of being held captive by Austin, he is starting to feel something for Melina that he has never felt for anyone else. He wants revenge of Melina’s brother and he’s using her to get it!

    Great read, loved it and can’t wait for more in this series:) Love all my old favourites and catching up with them again!

    I loved this book. I love the cross over of Moon, Mak, Alex and Celina. (I missed them) Holly took someone who shouldn’t really be loved, fall in love and be loved back. When you find out why he is the way he is. Oh goddess, just broke my heart. Melina and Austin became one of my favourites really quickly. I couldn’t put the book down. It’s a must read! Holly you rock and I can’t wait to read the next book!
