I just love this series, and Smoldering Desire was no different. Rider Grayson is just trying to get by after a disastrous marriage to the absolutely wrong woman. Selena, though she’s always wanted Rider, thinks he’s out of her league, so she’s focused on school and avoiding her ex, who she really didn’t stay with long anyway, but who doesn’t want to take no for an answer. I really enjoyed watching them figure their relationship out, not to mention their families figure it all out…..which was a cool take on it also. Elle James really pulls me into her world and I hate when the books end cause I’m never ready for it!

This is book 3 in the Hellfire series and it features Rider and Selena. No matter where you go or what you do while you’re gone, home will always be where your heart is. These two grew up together and it took years of him being away to see what a beautiful “woman” she’d grown into. This is a sweet and a little bit steamy romance. It deals with a small amount of racism and what the definition of family is. The story line is great with fantastic characters. I could have stayed in the presence of Rider Grayson for much longer. I can’t wait to read the next book from this fantastic author.
