Finished it, loved it, immediately turned around to look for the release date of the next one in the series and found that it is already available on Amazon for pre-order... 8 months from now it will be in my mailbox. :)
Unlike other reviewers, I loved the fact that the POV changed from character to character... it gave us a more complete vision of what the Fever World looks like now that the walls have fallen. Also unlike other reviewers, I didn't mind that Dani's POV wasn't as prevalent as in the first book... Mac has an interesting way of viewing the world, but it also created a disturbing amount of tension not know where Dani was or what she was experiencing. If we'd been seeing her POV all along, the big revelation wouldn't have been so explosive.
5 stars, hands-down... and my fingers are already itching to flip the pages of the next book.

Okay to be honest after Iced I wasn’t sure if I would read Burned, I really didn’t like Iced as much as the other books in the series. And just to be clear, it had nothing to do with Dani’s age, that didn’t bother me, it was Dani herself was that got on my nerves. So when I read that we get Mac and JZB back I knew I would give it a try. This Book is a 180 from Iced in my opinion and we are back to the way the books used to be.
I would suggest you read the glossary that is at the end of the book first to reintroduce yourself with all the major characters and places form prior books.

Burned by KMM
I liked this book much more than I wanted to. I've been a fan of KMM since her Highlander series. Kiss of the Highlander was my first highlander book and remains one of my all time favorites. And the original 5 book Fever series was fantastic. Dark, twisted, at times both hard to read and impossible to put down.
And now here we are, Fever 7. Mac is back. Dani is back-seated. The story is engaging from the start. Drew me right in. I needed to know what happened to all my favorite characters. I needed to know if they were getting any closer to fixing their world. I was excited. And if it wasn't for the assault on feminism that is Mac and Barrons, I would have given this book a much better rating. Mac should be a strong woman, she's certainly a capable woman. But it's growing more obvious to me that she's also an abused woman. And it makes me mad. I read a blog post just today defending romance against the claim that it teaches women that being abused by the alpha male is ok. I don't buy that for one second. But I also can see that Mac and Barrons don't exactly send the best message. This is not a relationship of equals. If you follow KMM, you'll know that this is completely intentional. Mac is not equal to Barrons, and won't be until she suffers some more. A big part of me hopes Mac comes to her senses, drops Barrons (no matter how hot the sex is) and finds herself an honorable MacKeltar to settle down with.
So I guess my advice to readers is this. If you are fans of the Fever series, you'll probably like the story. But if you're like me, you'll also be angry and disappointed.

Three reluctant stars.
I wanted to love this book, I really did. The rest of the series has been so damn good and the build up from book to book has been amazing. But this one...*sigh*...it just didn't do it for me. It felt hurried and unfinished, which is ironic given the length of time it took to be published. I guess there's always one weak book in a series and it seems Burned is it. I hope KMM comes back in all her glory with the next instalment but until then, Burned will likely be left off of my re-read list.

This book felt like it took the storyline in a different direction than what book 6 was setting up. I’m guessing because of all the complaints regarding Dani being 14 and a man 10 years older lusting after her. The writing was still good, plot was good and i really enjoyed it. I’m still really enjoying this series. I liked all the different POvs.

a little disappointed!! more of Dani would have been nice. sounds more like bridging rather then story. cud have completed a story rather then letting too many loose ends...

Far better than ICED when it comes to the sexual tones regarding Dani. But, I am getting a little eye-rolly over Mac and her sexual thoughts and needs towards Barrons. Yes, I know you can feel him before you see him. Yes, I get you want to have sex with him. Does it have to be mentioned during every single scene 10 times? No. Hence the loss of a star. I loved this book otherwise.
