Raleigh really caught me off guard with how well written this was. I was emotionally invested from the start. Flame for Foe is a page-turner and has well written BDSM & Kink elements while maintaining a beautiful forbidden love trope.


Falling for your big brother’s ex best friend is bound to be trouble. We just need to hope Kayleigh and Erik can withstand all that their darker side has yet to show them.


There was something kind of magnetic about the walking mess Kayleigh brought with her; he couldn’t look away.

I will definitely be diving into more work by Raleigh and you can look forward to some mood boards on my socials because I am obsessed! If you’re a lover of forbidden and lusty romance with a good plot this is for you. Raleigh is lacking in neither department with this book.


Raleigh writes with a swift pace and yet leaves no crumbs, before you know it you're tangled up with the protagonists and you're turning page after page and you'd never expect the secret(s) that unfold. This was an awesome little getaway as a read and truly felt like I was there. Usually 3rd person is not for me, but this is written in a way I absolutely adore.




From that first night that he claimed her as his hostage, he’d stamped himself on her heart, in that way she had of attaching herself to people.

The FMC is relatable and has been through hell, but that’s nothing our sexy MMC Erik can’t help with. The authentic BDSM representation and inclusion of the highs and lows as well as imperfections is truly so amazing and relatable I can't wait to see more of her work with these elements.

 
El’s Rating Scale:

Spice: 3.5

Plot: 4 Overall: A very positive 4 ⭐
