Shine Not Burn (Shine Not Burn, #1) written by Elle Casey (360 pgs) – finished reading 8/7/15 – 5 stars - Contemporary Romance

***Book received as a result of Goodreads First Reads***

This was one amazing find! Sexy cowboys! A lifeplan that’s already figured out. And, a marriage that was not even in the cards. Where does Andie Marks go from here? How can that hot cowboy Gavin MacKenzie think he loves her??? Laugh-out-loud funny in Vegas with two best friends and a whole lot of heat from one smokin’ cowboy has Andie totally questioning her choices for that “lifeplan”. What will she decide when her and Mack come face to face two years later???

Loved this book! Couldn’t put it down! Andie was one confident woman, but with Mack around she was all butterflies and nerves. He was special and honorable, and definitely a man’s man. Gorgeous with confidence. And, oh, those muscles! He was just perfection!! They were meant for each other, and as soon As Andie figures that out, Mack will just be lingering around in her mind and within reach of her fingertips. Romance and intimacy at it’s finest is what Ms. Casey portrays between this couple. Looking forward to the sequel that follows this stunning read!!


Luceo non uro means I shine, not burn. To me, though, it means that I have a choice. I need to balance the bad with the good, make sure to avoid the things that could burn or scar me but get close enough to the heat that I feel life and really experience it.” – Mack (Chap. 34)

Review Written, 8/7/15
