Flame: Web of Desire 2: Sparrow Webs 8 Kindle Edition
No longer simmering and crackling beyond our realm, the fire smoldering in the distance roars to life. The blaze has the capacity to scorch and destroy everything and everyone in its path. All that I’ve known and believed was obliterated the moment Madeline spoke a truth I’d never suspected. With one sentence, one plea, my life has taken an uncharted turn. Through the smoke and soot, I search for answers.
A man, an outfit, and my brothers-in-arms have been my solace, my calling, and my reason to live. Now that I know there’s more, what will the future hold?
The Ivanov bratva wants Chicago.
I want what they possess.
With the Sparrow world at war, and Madeline’s declaration, she and I are surrounded, trapped by the inferno. What will remain when the flames cease and we are left surveying the ashes?
From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a brand-new dark romance, FLAME, set in the dangerous world of Chicago's underground. It's time to get caught up in this new and intriguing saga, Web of Desire.
FLAME is book two of the WEB OF DESIRE trilogy that began in SPARK and concludes in ASHES.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"SPEECHLESS!!! I am absolutely speechless after reading Flame by Aleatha Romig. I never could've have guessed the way this story was going to play out. This book was dark, raw, gritty and at times tough to read, all without being overly graphic.
As I have said before, but it's worth repeating--the more books I read by Aleatha, the more I want to sing her praises. Her books just get better and more twisted as she releases them. She is an AMAZING storyteller. I don't know where she comes up with these twisted worlds. But please don't stop writing them!!!!
If you are looking for a book that will keep you intrigued all the way through and that is UNPUTDOWNABLE....then this is the book/trilogy for you to read!! This is another one for my Best Books of 2020 List!!!! Make sure to add this trilogy to your TBR list, you won't be sorry!!!!" ~ ***** JenHarried, BookBub Review

"A page Turner, Flame is definitely a must read. It's layers intensity keep me on the edge until the very last end of the word. And the ending? Omg that ending! I love it!" ~ ***** R. Rais, Goodreads Review
"Patrick, oh Patrick! Surprised! Shocked! Those are the words that describe what he feels at the beginning of this book. Protective! Possessive! Those are the feelings that occur throughout the book. Confused! Disbelief! They are the words that end this book. All I can say is wow!"~ ***** Renita McKinney, Goodreads Review
"Explosive, anxious and intrigue these are all the feelings I was experiencing while I was reading the second part of this amazing trilogy. Flame is the second book of Web of Desire and I have to say it was intense in a very good way.. at all times I felt like something was going to happen so I was completely hooked in my chair waiting for the other shoe to fall."~ ***** Thelma, Goodreads Review

- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2020SPEECHLESS!!! I am absolutely speechless after reading Flame by Aleatha Romig.
I never could’ve have guessed the way this story was going to play out. This book was dark, raw, gritty and at times tough to read, all without being overly graphic. I will warn readers that some of the material in this story could cause some triggers or be hard for readers to read.
Flame is the second book in the Web of Desire trilogy by Aleatha. This book was everything I have come to expect from Aleatha, but so much more. This book is NOT a standalone novel. Spark MUST be read before reading this book. YES this book does end in a cliffhanger, just like book 1. This ending was such a shock to me, I couldn’t have pictured it turning that way. No I won’t say any more, but I will say, I am dying for Ashes….I NEED to know how this is going to turn out.
In this story we dive further into the background of Madeline. We see how she lived 17 years ago and what has lead her to where she is now. I don’t want to say any more than that. This book reveals more secrets and lies and answers some questions from book1 but also creates so many more questions that I am hoping are answered in the last book.
As I have said before, but is worth repeating, the more books I read by Aleatha, the more I want to sing her praises. Her books just get better and more twisted as she releases them. She is an AMAZING storyteller. I don’t know where she comes up with these twisted worlds. But please don’t stop writing them!!!!
If you are looking for a book that will keep you intrigued all the way through and that is UNPUTDOWNABLE….then this is the book/trilogy for you to read!! This is another one for my Best Books of 2020 List!!!! Make sure to add this trilogy to your TBR list, you won’t be sorry!!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2020Flame kept me on the very edge of my seat into the wee hours of the morning. I'm absolutely loving my first trilogy by Aleatha Romig.
quote: In the short time I'd spent back with Patrick, I'd remembered what it was like to be loved for simply being me. He tended the spark that had nearly extinguished and brought to life a flame.
Aleatha Romig has utterly captivated me with the Web of Desire series. After reading both Spark and Flame, I am absolutely dying to read the conclusion to this engrossing storyline. Not only are these books fast-paced, well-written and sexy—they are also original and keep me on the edge of my seat. As I read a new book almost daily, ‘original’ is not an easy feat to master for me these days, let alone maintain—especially throughout a trilogy. Yet, I find myself completely consumed and repeatedly surprised by the Web of Desire books. I love the hero, Patrick—he’s delicious 😉—and while Madeline’s just starting to come into herself, I am loving the transformation I’m seeing in her character as the story progresses. Ashes can not hit my kindle soon enough at this point. I highly recommend these books to readers who like a little mystery with a side of second chance romance because that’s exactly what they’re going to find while reading the Web of Desire books. Definitely a five star read!

- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2023Well all I can say is the surprises never stop coming with an Aleatha Romig book. This one is no exception. Patrick really shines in this story about him and his wife Madeline. Now that their daughter Ruby has been included in their lives the twists and turns abound. It’s a mostly exciting ride, however I must admonish those readers that have triggers to beware.
**WARNING**
I had to skim through most of the chapters that go back 17 years. The abuse (sexual and otherwise) was too much to read in any detail. That is why this book lost one star.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2020Every time I review a new book written by Aleatha be it the first or final book in a series I feel like her writing can't get any better,and each time I'm wrong. This second book in the Web of Desire trilogy delves deeply into backstory of what happened to separate Patrick and Maddy for so many years. However the way it was written is very fluid and continues the dramatic present day drama and fight that keeps them from a permanent reunion. Writing one chapter detailing significant past story then writing the next chapter with the present day storyline in a way that doesn't confuse the reader is difficult, but Aleatha can not only do it well but can continue to add plot twists and OMG moments that the reader can't possibly see coming.
I've decided to give up writing reviews that say it's her best story yet because each new series proves me wrong. As far as I'm concerned Aleatha's writing will just continue to be epic. The final twists and cliffhanger in this book left me with so many emotions that I waited 24 hours aft finishing it to attempt to write a somewhat coherent review. Wow talk about a book hangover, I feel like I was left to drool and count days off on the calendar waiting for the final book. BTW if you want to more add more book drama to your brain add the Whispersync audio to it, yes I know it can raise the price of your book budget but very worth it for a select few books/series. This is all I feel like I can say without giving away spoilers so I think I'll just go take some Tylenol for my hangover😊.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trust, truth and lies.
What an apt title for the second book in this particular series. It’s exactly what your eyes, brain and thoughts become when reading this excellent novel. We start book two exactly where the cliffhanger left us. The storyline is really dark and a lot of the information is very disturbing, but obviously well researched, and sympathetically written. A rainbow and unicorn tale this is not. We learn an awful lot about Madeline’s past, and how she became separated from Patrick. It is a point we’re the tissues need to be at the ready. The story as ever flows well. Is truly descriptive and beautifully edited. We go back in the past with Madeline and learn the hardship and dreadful happenings that occurred to her 17 years ago. There is drama a plenty. Intricate detail , with twist turns, double crossing and despicable characters that make your skin crawl. Patrick as ever remains strong dominant a totally reliable. The chemistry between Maddie and him is sizzling. The ending is one of mouth gapping proportions and totally unpredictable. As ever once you have started a book by this incredible author you cannot put it down. This is not a stand-alone but it is mind blowing. Book three is a wait but it will take that long to come down of the literal high, from reading such an experiencing book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Roll on Ashes!!
Wow! This series gets better and better! It's the first book in ages that I've started and finished it on the same day! It had me hooked! There were twists throughout as is usual with Aleatha's books, it keeps you on the edge of your seat just wanting to find out more! I love reading about all these characters in this while Sparrow world.. they really do keep you interested!
Towards the end I'd just about guessed regarding parentage to Madeline but when I got to the end I was still shocked... and annoyed I've got to wait for the last book! Lol
Roll on Ashes because I absolutely can't wait to read what happens in the rest of Patrick and Madeleine's story!!
- darkromanticReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant
Wow! This sexy and thrilling series just took a turn I didn't see coming at all. This part of the trilogy is much faster paced and it reveals so much more about our heroine's past and we see just how much she has been through since she was separated from Patrick. I can't say much more without giving away any juicy details. But if you've started this series keep going and you won't be disappointed.
- Sian TweedleReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 13, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars OMG
Once again a fantastic book by Aleatha! I would give th this book 10 stars if I could! The story continues straight from the huge cliffhanger in the 1st book and weaves its way to yet another bomb shell, I didn't see it coming cliffhanger! I cannot wait for the 3rd book! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
