Tate
I don’t know what I thought I’d find in the slow, sultry heat of Hickory Bend, Alabama, but it’s got to be better than the hell disguised in money and privilege I’ve been living in, wrapped in a twisted bow my mother and her husband call love. But at eighteen, they can’t stop me from going to the father I barely know and the stepmother and stepbrother I’ve never met. All in the hopes of… what? Making a life for myself? A family? I’m not sure, but I have to try.

Wren
I’ve spent my entire life hiding in the shadows, hiding behind the scars I’ve carried since the day my daddy died. I’ve never wanted a brother, never gave a thought to my stepdad’s estranged son either. When Tate shows up, in my face day and night, he turns my life into chaos. But somehow, he turns the lights on, too, and chases me out of the dark. Now, I just need to figure out what he wants—what I want—and if we can stop running long enough to catch each other.

Burning Demons, Book One in the Burning Torments series, is a sexy new adult story set in a small town with two stepbrothers who make the mistake of falling in love, because their lives weren’t complicated enough.

NA MM Romance. Includes tropes: Stepbrothers, fish-out-of-water, friends-to-lovers, opposites attract, history of abuse, recovery from abuse, bullying, slow-burn. See the look inside feature for a full list of tropes, triggers, and content details that include spoilers

    5.0 out of 5 stars raw and just good
    Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    I have not read something that left me RAW in a while, this read got me there. There is so much I want to say but I’ll end up saying too much. Wren and Tate Are beautifully written, they are complex and real. I found myself invested in both characters from the start.

    I don’t want to give away too much, but this book deals with heavier topics and trauma in a masterful way. Trauma is not black and white, it’s grey and messy, and the characters deal with that.

    Because the characters are so real, I found myself incredibly irritated with Winnie and Sam (probably alone in this). I think Sam is seen as a good guy because he’s chill but sometimes he seems to passively parent. Winnie was great until she wasn’t, and then there was no apology or real accountability and I couldn’t get over it lol.

    The romance is so sweet and again RAW. There were times that I literally had to rub my chest because it was so damn real. The spice was just right; true to the characters and their individual and mutual journey.

    I cannot wait to read more from Mina 🖤

    Slow Burn

    Tate meets his new stepbrother Wren and over the summer the two become closer, learning more about each other and then acting on their attraction to one another. They both have their own issues to deal with, but that’s what makes their character growth well done. This is a hard-fought HEA for them but is worth it. Very similar to some of the other popular stepbrother books out there, but with less spice. Still a good read and excited for the others in the series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My heart hurts
    Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    My heart hurts. I want to wrap Wren and Tate in a hug and never let them go.

    I’m still so angry at Tate’s mom and stepfather. I seriously want to get inside this book and beat the loving crap out of them.

    Tate is a young man whose mother constantly reminded him of not being wanted. She used him to get social status without a care of what her son needed.

    For years he was constantly emotionally abused until one day he couldn’t take it anymore. He fled his mother’s house and moved to Alabama with his father.

    There, he meets his stepbrother, Wren who has as many inner traumas as himself. His low self esteem due to the scar on his face and the turmoil of being gay, make him shrink into himself.

    Despite his pain, Tate becomes Wren’s pillar of strength and shows him just how strong and beautiful he is. He shows Wren how worthy he is and how he should follow his dreams.

    Together they face challenges that would bring anyone to their knees yet they fight together for the happiness they know they deserve. Come hell or high water, together they build a life they can be proud of.

    This is the first book of the Burning Torments series. Highly recommend it.

    This was a roller coaster of emotions.
    Poor Tate and Wren have both been through so much.
    I loved that they were able to help each other heal and be stronger individually and together.

    Tate & Wren. Jesus these boys had me a wreck. They were perfect together and for eachother. Little to no drama between them. But the things they went through together? My god I truly commend them for being as strong as they were , both together & separate at such a young age! This book was amazing. Definitely take cw seriously but otherwise, enjoy this love story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 🖤🔥🎶🔥🖤
    Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2025

    For a debut novel this was really good. It grabbed at all the emotions throughout and I loved the characters. Tate has been through a lot in his life and because of that he became an amazing, strong, man. Wren was in a terrible, disfiguring, accident when he was a kid and until Tate showed up he walked with his head down. Where one was weak the other was strong and together it made them an amazing couple. I’m looking forward to more in this series and I’m hoping Percy and Michael & Jamie get books. 🖤🔥🎶🔥🖤

    My favorite quotes:

    • Tate: For him, my heart ached. But for me, I only saw a raw sort of beauty. I saw someone who had lived, who had been hurt, and who had survived. I saw power.

    • Tate: Seconds was all I needed. He let go of my hand—that was normal, expected, so why did I memorize how his fingertips skimmed each of mine before they parted?

    Dangerous? That hardly mattered now. I was in too deep for any more warnings.

    • Tate: All of it made me want to hold him, hug him, and wrap him with attention in the best ways. I wanted to show him that even though he saw it as a flaw, I saw it as a mark of living. A mark of his unique past that was his alone.

    • Wren: “You’re so ******’ strong. The strongest person I know. You come down here, kept tugging and pulling at me until you got me out of my own shell. You laughed and had fun with me even though you were carrying around all this inside. Even though you were hurting this bad.”

    5.0 out of 5 stars What A Perfect Debut!
    Reviewed in Canada on May 7, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    What a debut this was! Seriously, I am in love with this book. Tate and Wren have been living rent free in my head since I started 😍. I mean I love me some broken boys finding comfort in one another and this hits that trope PERFECTLY! 💯

    Tate is just such a beautiful lost little soul and thankfully finds not only himself when he moves to a tiny town in Alabama but his new step brother, and soulmate in Wren 😏. Wren is also such a well drawn out character. Both characters have so many layering characteristics that just make me want to reach through the pages and hug them both tightly 💜. They love hard, they fight hard, they make mistakes and grow as individuals and as a couple, and it's so beautiful to watch and be a part of their story.

    This is more of a slow burn BUT it doesn't feel that way, the entire book is fraught with tension that makes you want to both scream and laugh during their moments together, and when they come together, it's EVERYTHING 🔥.

    I can't wait to read the author's next book 🙏, honestly it was such a poetic story at times and I loved the differences between Wren and Tate, making them perfectly matched for one another. The use of music through Wren brought this story to another level as well, when he compares how music makes him feel in according to Tate, I wanted to weep 🥹.

    If you have some time, and are a sucker for some beautifully done hurt/comfort I highly suggest checking this book out! Mind your triggers though, because it does cover some heavy topics, and as always your mental health is important 💯.
