About this eBook

A steamy, age gap, rockstar romance with a bit of a slow burn, a strong sassy heroine, a grumpy alpha hero, low angst, and a happily ever after.

Love has a way of blazing through you like poison, leaving you breathless but still wanting more. 

On the way down it burns like whiskey, coats your throat like a love song, and enters your belly with the force of a hurricane.

I told myself never again.

I thought I had put those ghosts behind me, but some secrets don’t stay buried forever.

Fate has a way of forcing you to face them, and Sasha was the curveball I never saw coming.

I didn’t want to fall for her. 

 

In fact, I was determined not to, but she danced her way into my heart with her pink glittered Converse, and the sweet taste of peppermint.

 

She’s way too young, and chasing something I can’t give her, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting her.

 

If I give into how I feel, will we last the summer, or are we bound to burn?

Bound To Burn is the 4th book in the Blood & Bone series but can be read as a standalone, although the books should be read in order, for the best reader experience.

Cash and Sasha’s story is perfect for readers who love a sexy, age gap, emotional, rock star romance, second chance, strong sassy heroine, a grumpy ex-musician/record store owner, a touch of humor, low angst, and a whole lot of steam. 

Content Warning: This book does have mention of drug use and overdose, so please take care while reading.

Ratings and reviews

Mia's book helped understand Cash how she felt about him I really believe finally gave him the path to move on and trust again. It was just beautiful. Sasha was such a twist of fate, shows fate would bring them together one way or another. But Sasha also had her scars, even young, she had to shake to be able to trust and love again.Just when Cash and Sasha are sharing their pasts, learning to trust, crazy revelations happen that can derail it all and maybe they are not forever, just a part in each other's storys. You will have to see if they get their Happy Ever After. I absolutely loved each song at the beginning of the chapter that really encompasses what is going on in that moment, so nice just to click on it and play the song while diving in. I can't forget to mention the spice it is just off the charts with these two the chemistry on fire, just imagine secluded hot sex on top of a harley and that is just one of the amazing sceens. Just such a awsome read and my favorite

This book like all the others in this series is beyond words fenaminal you feel the character's pain and there growth with ever turn of the page its hard to some up in a few words this book but Cash just wow sexy,grumpy and full of soul just waiting for his true soul-mate even if he thought he was done with love and all its heartbreak's but that was before Sasha she is perfect for him she gives his character life and joy again and not just a need to become a solitary foot note in and epic but tragic love story there each others muse. Sasha the upbeat full of life never letting anything keep her down bubble soul she is loves photography and her family but her love for Cash just makes you smile and I'm so glad that this series ended like this Cash needed his Happy Ending. I was allowed to read and advance copy of this book and this is my honest review.

Paula Dombrowiak is a new writer for me and this series has been incredible! Her writing is powerful, poignant, raw, truthful, insightful, heartbreaking, sexy...I have laughed and cried with these characters and I could not be more amazed about how Cash and Sasha found their happily ever after. Cash, my wonderfully grumpy, sexy, selfless bass player. Sasha, my wonderfully joyful, intelligent, passionate, wise beyond her years photojournalist, who had fate and a little bit of luck, carry her to a destiny she never imagined. I have felt every word of their story. Sometimes, despite being closed off, hurt, and withdrawn, life has a way of snapping us back into sync, even when we don't want it or are not prepared for it. What a beautifully written story of letting go of the past in order to walk head on into a future that's greater than the ine you have imagined for yourself. Cash and Sasha are just A•MA•ZING!!! Facing our demons is not easy, until we find the person we would risk everything for. Sasha taught him that love is the ultimate freeing power and trust is shown with every detail. Cash taught her how when the right woman comes along, a man will stop at nothing to make her happy. Paula, thanks for giving our boy Cash the happiness that he deserved. I think they said it best: ""What is it you want from me? he asks..."I want you to sign your name across my body and ruin me for every other man," she wispers..." Uff, nothing else to say about that.
