 3 stars in total 
 2 stars on the world-building 
 5 stars on the entertainment factor. 
 As a fan of the writing duo, I was ecstatic to start this series. I was hooked from the first page, finding Nevada intriguing, her family giving off the warm and fuzzies. As the book evolved, I kept stumbling as I read. There is a lot of extraneous information on the pages, unnecessary minutiae. But it was the world-building I had the most problem with. I was confused for 100% of the entire book, and I'm hoping it's explained and expanded as the series progresses further. 
 I need to state I'm not a stranger to either Urban Fantasy or the writing style of Ilona Andrews. But the delivery and execution of the world-building was a huge problem for me. I just rolled with it, getting the rough outline of what was going on in the world, but where I needed finer details, there were none, because it was buried beneath a ton of minutiae that wasn't of any importance to the progression of the story. 
 The intriguing characters kept my interests when the story itself lost me. Nevada is a strong character- loyal, practical, flawed and insecure and compassionate, and this creates a fully developed narrator who is easy to relate to and root for- however, I found how she was instantly attracted to every male a bit out of character, like tween crushing levels of "OMG, he's so hot!" (both figuratively and literally). This made her appear to be vapid and immature, when that wasn't how she was written to be. Nevada kept equating Mad Rogan to a dragon. Not to point out the obvious, but wouldn't that have been more apt for Adam, our pyro? Ya know, dragons & FIRE? 
 The secondary cast was just as intriguing. Nevada's entire family were a pleasure to see interact with her. There was a ton of characters, family, side characters, and mentioned characters. Then there are Mad Rogan and Adam, who most definitely hit on my psycho meter (I have a thing for the crazy guys in fiction). 
 Be forewarned: many readers may not enjoy a romantic entanglement which began via kidnapping, drugging, violence, and remained on an extortion level throughout the book, sometimes taunting and abusive in the way they interact. There is a difference between alpha behavior and abusive behavior- one is a personality trait and the other is about control and a lack of respect for their partner. Mad Rogan is no alpha. 
 I also need to state, this book/series rings more toward paranormal romance than Urban Fantasy. The cover and title most certainly describe the contents to a certain extent, but at the same time, it's almost like the book had an identity crisis. The title and cover are more paranormal romance in nature (the title suggests she's with Adam, not Rogan. Burn?), yet it's not sexual enough to be PNR, but not enough solid world-building to be UF. Identity crisis. 
 Gavin (Mad Rogan's cousin) & Adam were significant for 50% of the book, and just dissolved for the last half as the story warped into 'using action to bring about a romantic entanglement'. The storyline itself was interesting, what I could grasp of it, but it devolved into a means to an end to propel Rogan and Nevada into each other's orbit for the sake of 'romance'. The conclusion- ultimate reason/true 'enemy' for all that was occurring on the pages was ridiculous. 
 I'd go in-depth and explain the magic system in Burn for Me, but that's the problem. It was never truly explained. Nevada was too into describing everyone's clothing, actions, and even what coffee mugs they were holding. One of the first pieces of advice I received as a writer was by an Urban Fantasy author. "Just say the character waved. Every reader envisions that. Don't waste time explaining how the arm moved the wrist to move the hand. Just say the character waved." In other words, if it's not important, doesn't set the scene, or propel the story forward, don't put it on the page. Don't waste your time or the reader's. This is Urban Fantasy, explain the world-building, and don't detail every character's clothing choices or redundantly express how hot they are, and not in the way Adam makes them hot. 
 When it came time for Nevada to know something (which I felt was odd, since she was of this world, and a magic-user too, but she was kept in the dark, because the readers were in the dark, yet it made her seem incompetent and unintelligent) someone would explain it to her (and us, the readers) in an info-dump. The book was filled with so much information, the important stuff was buried or not even shown. 
 There are families (or houses) where Primes hold the upper echelon of power in the community. Primes are the strongest magic-users, with levels of magical strength filtering out throughout the rest of the population. But the magic was never truly explained or explored on the pages. All the sudden, another type of magic would be used on the pages, and the authors would explain how it's a major one (but Nevada's isn't). It was random, not plotted out, and cropped up out of nowhere. But when a character came on scene, Nevada would go on a 5-page tangent about their entire family history, with at least 6 characters from maternal and paternal great-grandparents, to sisters, cousins, and friends of the family- I had NO idea who these people were, if I should take notes (because there was no way I was going to remember it) and multiple mentions of how magic wasn't prevalent 'back then' but never explained (truly) how, when, where this magic abilities cropped up. Eventually this was explained, but it didn't feel definitive. Everything was 'hinted' around, but never truly explored, easily warped to fill a plot hole. 
 To be honest, the book felt as if it were written on the fly, not plotted out in-depth. "We better explain this *here*" the authors said to each other. So they used an info-dump that sometimes contradicted a previous info-dump. I'm hoping as the series unfolds this will feel more organic and flow better, with a solid world-building foundation that won't change on a whim. 
 I enjoyed the characters, the speed the story unfolded, and am intrigued to see where it heads next. I enjoy this author duo, but the execution on this first-in-a-new-series book wasn't organically flowing and easy for the reader to get a grasp on the world-building (because I felt the authors didn't have a grasp on their own world-building).
