Burn Bright by Krista & Becca Ritchie is now live!

He’s a rich jock with a larger-than-life family. She’s a punk-rock nerd with a troubled past. 

Ben Cobalt is number six. Not sixth place—in fact, he’d be considered at least third draft pick for the NHL if he didn’t quit hockey during college. And he’s not sixth-in-line for any throne. Though, most consider his larger-than-life, billionaire family American royalty.

He is the sixth-born Cobalt.

Out of a normal family of seven, he might get lost in the shuffle. But being the black sheep of the Cobalt Empire comes with its own intense spotlight. After he hits a major low at college in Philly, his four older brothers convince him to move in with them in New York City. Transferring to Manhattan Valley University—piece of cake.

Living in an apartment with all of his brothers while harboring a giant secret among a family who’s more tight-knit than a secret society—total effing chaos.

He has to find a way out of the tense living arrangement, especially as he clashes with his oldest brother Charlie. Ben turns to an unlikely source for help. A grumpy, punk-rock girl with a troubled past who’s already pissed off one Cobalt brother.

So when an undeniable attraction ignites, Harriet Fisher is expecting the flames to die out. Except…what happens when they don’t? Falling for a Cobalt brother with secrets might be a Shakespearean tragedy she can’t rewind.

BURN BRIGHT is the first book in the Cobalt Empire series, a new adult romance series about legacy, loyalty, and love.

Holy thick book but I blew through this so quickly.

Burn Bright is the start of a new series from this duo. There is ALOT going on in this book and if you have never read a KBR book before, it might feel overwhelming at times. These two are known for their large family dynamics and making sure readers know how everyone is tied together.

Ben and Harriet are the main characters in this book, even though we get very thorough introductions of other family members. I do wish the book focused more on them and not just the family dynamics – I didn’t need all the details that were given about the other family members.

Ben was such a sweetie but not to the point that he was he excessively “soft” and he was the perfect compliment to Harriet. I loved her and her personality and absolutely LOVE that Krista and Becca kept her as is and didn’t feel the need to giver her “makeover” mid-novel.

Overall, yes this book is thick (could have been shorter) but I still enjoyed it all the same. I want to say so much but I am afraid of spoiling something unintentionally.

I am excited for the new book in this series!
