Me.Β The one with the Ph.D.

The one he visits every week and undresses with his eyes.
Lethal dark eyes that drown me in fiery lust and constant lies.

Ones with no family, no friends, and no past.
Just a standing Tuesday appointment.

Torched Spades by Cora Kenborn
Tanya’s rating: 4 of 5 stars
Torched Spades is the first book in the Marchesi Empire Series. This is Johnny Malone and Dr. Rebecca βBeccaβ Brennanβs story. Becca is a Psychiatrist and Johnny is a disgraced firefighter.
Johnny isnβt the easiest person to work with. I felt he was very intense. He is a βself-confessed arsonistβ. There is a court ordered mandate that he goes to a Psychiatrist for his arsonist behaviour. He goes through a few Psychiatrist until he gets Dr. Brennan.
So, I was a little confused with Johnnyβs character since I knew that this book is linked with The Carrera Cartel Collection and Corrupt Gods World. Johnny was an ex firefighter and I had a hard time with that and the fact that he was connected to the Mafia. There is a huge twist and some of my questions were answered. There is a cliffhanger which I was expecting since book 2 is Tortured Hearts and is the conclusion to Johnny and Beccaβs story.
