A weekend out in the wilderness in the company of her camera, she believed she would be able to relax and get her photos for her school assignment. The only problem is that that never in a million years did she think she would come across a burned man and have to save him when she realized he was still alive. The only problem is that he is thirsty and he does not want any water but blood.
All I can say is get ready because you will be hooked to this book as soon as you read the prologue it just leaves you wanting more. All you know is that what happened almost 240 years ago would come back to haunt them sooner or later.
Ty Buchanan is a Council Shield, a cop in vampire eyes and knows he is in big trouble. He knows that dawn is approaching and more than likely his death. There is an angel by his side when he believes that he is doomed and believes he is dead. When Ty finally realizes he is not dead and someone is truly trying to help him he tries his best to help how he can. There are only two problems, okay maybe three, the sun is killing him, and he’s weak and very, very thirsty. Once he knows that there are somewhere secluded and no longer outdoors away from the sun he has a bit more of strength and feeds off of Libby, the angel.
Burn moves quickly but that is not bad it just sucks you in and you want to know what is going to happen next. There is only one problem and you will have to read this book to see how Libby and Ty get their happily after but to see if the past it actually over or just the beginning for the Buchanan brothers.

New Review from The Romance Reviews and a Vent
So I just got a new review from The Romance Reviews for Burn, and you can read the review in its entirety here. It's a very good review, overall. She gave it a 4. There was one comment, though, that caught my attention in it and that kind of annoyed me.
The characters in Ms Younger's novel are easy to relate to. They are modern, even the 250-year old vampires speak in the vernacular, so the dialogue flows well.
It's actually not a criticism, I know, but it bothers me just because the reviewer felt the need to even mention it. The language of my vampires is actually something I thought about a great deal. I'm a Trueblood fan, and the way Bill speaks in that old-fashioned manner has always annoyed me. None of the other vampires on the show do, even the ones who are older than Bill is (like Eric). I mean, it's not like the vampires have been in some kind of deep freeze or suspended animation for hundreds of years. They have been living and talking and surely their "vernacular" has changed with the changing times. I mean, hell, I don't speak the way I did in the eighties. Do you? (barf me out!) So why would a vampire? Okay...thanks for letting me vent. lol!

Sizzling Hot Book Reviews gives Burn 4 Hearts
Sizzling Hot Book Reviews
Burn is the first book in the All-American Vampires series and Bree Younger has set the bar high. Libby is out searching for some good nature spots to take pictures for a photography class when she stumbles across a strange man staked out in the sun and slowly burning. Incoherent, dazed and very confused, Ty is sure he is going to die.
Neither Ty nor Libby is looking for any kind of relationship. Yet, they are undeniably attracted to each other. The passion between the two is intense even as they try to deny it. Both Ty and Libby are strong and independent which causes a few moments of push and shove between them. They are both very realistic and, along with strong supporting characters, make the reader become involved with them.
Burn takes the ummm sparkle out of vampires and puts them back to being hot, in control men without the fluff. This generation of vampires doesn’t have telepathy, aren’t affected by holy relics, can see themselves in mirrors and much more. These vampires are alpha men with some paranormal abilities but not so many you get bogged down trying to remember who can do what.
Burn is a great story that has me itching to sink my teeth into the next one. Bree Younger’s style and investment with her characters has made me a quick fan. Burn moves very quickly and pulls the reader in from the first page; I finished the novel in about 2 hours! Burn is a fantastic story for anyone looking for a good paranormal, erotic, action filled romance.

Ty Buchanan, vampire and Council Shield, awakens after a night of partying with friends to find himself stripped and staked out. With dawn approaching, he knows his odds of surviving are not good.
Libby Shaw is a photography student whose latest assignment is to complete a series of wildlife studies. A friend has loaned her an isolated cabin, and she hopes to get some excellent shots. Instead, she stumbles upon the horribly burned body of a man. He’s alive. But barely.
When Libby saves Ty, she is plunged into a paranormal world she never knew existed. As Ty and Libby work to save themselves from an unknown enemy, they turn to one another and discover a passion that makes them both burn. The stakes get higher as the lovers are drawn into a world of bloodslaves, betrayal, and an enemy from Ty’s past reappears, bent on revenge.Once Libby rescues Ty, she has to come to grips with the existence of vampires and werewolves very quickly. Understandably, she has a million questions that she needs answered. But, belief comes easy for Libby since they are on the run from some very evil vampires and she sees what they can do first hand.

My Earnest Reviews
I got a review for Burn at MER and it was so super, I had to share it here!!
This reviewer's rating: 5 - Outstanding
This book is one of the best books I've read in a long time. ... I didn't want to stop reading once I started. The characters are the kind you fall in love with and the length of the book was perfect (although I'd have preferred for it to not end at all.) If you are only going to buy one book - buy this one. I will definitely add Ms. Younger to my automatic buy list.

I've also gotten 4 ratings of 5. I'm sure that won't last, but it's a great way to start. I'm grinning from ear to ear. And doing my happy dance! lol!
