Watch Me Burn (Elements of the Heart Book 2) Kindle Edition

by C.E. Johnson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 284 ratings
The minute she steps out of her fancy car with designer high heels, it’s obvious this city girl doesn’t belong at my lodge in the woods.

The gorgeous and stubborn Natalie Bell shows up at the worst time. I have enough on my plate with my sister marrying the man that ruined my life.

I’d love nothing more than to pretend this wedding isn’t happening. But my sister is the only person who never turned her back on me when everyone else in this small town did.

I wasn’t the bad guy, but they turned me into a criminal. And now, I’m forced to face them all again.

Only, I won’t let them burn me at the stake this time. I finally have something to fight for. Natalie.

Her strong will and soft touch has me addicted, and I’ll do anything to stop them from getting to her.

Even if that means setting everything I’ve built on fire before they can.

    Watch Me Burn is much more than I expected. Natalie is a stiletto city girl used to high end and luxurious life style. When she escapes the pain of a broken relationship she ends up in a laid back cabin in the woods, with a rough around the edges owner, named Owen. You will enjoy their banter and fall in love with them!

    This book will take you on a journey of pain, discovery and suspense while focusing on friendship, loyalty and love between them and Owen’s best friends as well. An all around good feels book that will own your heart.

    Owen’s dark past burns deep but not as deep as the feelings he starts to develop towards Natalie. Be prepared to watch him burn with the right amount of passion and desire.

    I love CE Johnson’s writing style. She has an amazing way with her words and each chapter is finished with so much intensity that you can’t put the book down. This book is just another example of her perfection. You need to dive in. Don’t miss this one out.

    BTW, you will have a new passion for lemon-lime soda and glazed donuts! Believe me, I now do too :) Oh, yeah let’s not forget Whack’s obsession with suckers. Can’t wait for his book next.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2021

    This book is all you want in a book. The suspense, the love connection, the friendships, and the fire. Natalie needed a new start and tried something out of comfort zone. She wasn't expecting to meet Owen. The bloody owner of her destination. They definitely did not see eye to eye until she wanted to save him from his past. She's the city fashionista and he's the small town felon. Totally opposites but they had the want to save each other and that's exactly what they did. They gave each other something they both didn't think they needed. He needed someone to stand by his side and stick up for him. She needed peace and love. The way that they protect each other is amazing. The love that they formed was beautiful. I will never look at a glazed donut and lemon line soda without them reminding me of Owen. You just have to pick up this book to enjoy all the laughs, suspense & love. What a fantastic read!!

    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2022

    I really enjoyed Owen and Natalie’s sweet, swoony , exciting, but slightly dangerous story. Owen runs a retreat with private cabins. Due to his history he’s a bit of a recluse. Natalie is used to the better things in life but when her life implodes she impulsively decides to come to Owen’s retreat. She arrives in a tiny sports car wearing high heels and clothes inappropriate for the wilderness. Owen is already stressed because his sister is marrying one of the men that got him put in prison so their initial meeting does not go well. Nevertheless, fate pulls them together and begins the exciting, roller coaster ride of their HEA. This book has a little bit of everything you’d expect from romantic suspense - sweet moments, fan your face steam, dangerous action, strong friendships, dysfunctional families, painful pasts, mystery, plot twists, uber protective men, real life issues, imperfect characters, and even a few chuckles. The story was well written, the characters had depth and growth, and the storyline was engaging. I will definitely be reading more of this series because I want to know Whack’s story.

    ## Outstanding. Loved this book so much. Owen (Gill) and Natalie were so good together. Their meet cute wasn't so cute, but fun nonetheless, lol. Sparks were flying all over the place. I adored Natalie. So she liked designer clothes. Who cares? She was a great person with a huge heart. Owen was fantastic as well. But his family? Wow, what horrible people. Shame on his sister. She was portrayed as a positive character....hmm. Not to me. I would NEVER marry a man who hurt my brother so badly. All he had to do is tell the truth, yet he didn't and ultimately sent Owen to prison. And making him attend her wedding in front of all the people who bullied him for YEARS was extremely selfish. I loved that Natalie's parents stepped up and treated him with the respect he deserved. I'm not sure I'll read Whack's story since he has a dead wife. Frankly that's my least favorite trope. All the guilt and comparisons are excruciating. I'll have to give it some thought because the 1st two books were amazing.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Owen and Natalie’s story is one true love!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2021

    As soon as I met Gill in Watch Me Drown, I knew that I wanted and needed his story. You know that moment when you are reading a book and a secondary character is introduced and you are blown away and know that the next book better be about them or you are going to go mad, that is how I felt about knowing Gill and all that his world entailed.

    And boy oh boy was it epic and awesome and so full of everything that I expected and then so much more! It was brilliant to see this surly, quiet friend blossom into the kind of man that will lay down his life for the one he loves. And to do so in a way that he didn’t even know he was falling in love was so enticing and C.E. did a fabulous job of bring Owen and Natalie to life in a way that had me salivating for more.

    These men are scarred, yet they love so fierce and so hard that it melts you away. Natalie is one lucky girl let me tell you! And she brings so much life to Owen’s character that it is a sight to see (well read...you know what I mean).

    I love this series!

    Owen & Natalie are everything I love about romance! Sparks fly the moment they meet, and I was a little concerned they were going to be fighting through the story (not my favorite trope). Thankfully, the spark remained, but the antagonistic part was swept away. 😉

    Once again I fell in love with the banter & the suspense portion was done SO WELL! I love the support & protectiveness these two have for each other. AND we get more Everest & Whack, which is so fun. I love the depth of friendship & am so happy we get to see more of it!

    And now I'm off to read Whack's (aka Lucas) story!!

    Too often in real and book life, the things men go through and their emotions are ignored. I love a book where the couple leans on one another and where the woman is also protective of her man.

    This is such a beautiful love story amongst some terrible things that happen. Natalie is a great person and deserved a great guy and friends. Owen’s past broke my heart and he deserved all the love from Natalie (and her family). I loved the friendship between Owen, Whack and Everest. Absolutely loved this one.
