Spark of Wrath (The Carnal Tower 4) by E.M. Lindsey


Can the sin of Wrath open himself up to be loved by not just one man, but two?  Spark of Wrath is the fourth book in the Carnal Tower series following Flint as he rekindles an old love and finds his happy ending. 

From the blurb:

“From a little spark may burst a mighty flame.” - Dante Alighieri

He is Wrath—and always will be. His anger knows no bounds, rooted deep in his soul and he would be nothing without it.

Flint has come to terms with his future, and the sort of man he is.

Tender.
Quiet.
Angry…
…and alone.

Except there was a man who left as quickly as he’d come into Flint’s life. Tragedy struck and Flint’s waited three long years with nothing but silence.

Then, when he least expects it, Tomás returns, and with him, a promise for more. But there are conditions, because half of Tomás’s heart belongs to another man—one Flint will have to learn to accept if he ever wants a happily ever after.

And while Flint is willing to share, the more time he spends with Luke, the more he realizes his cold, tired heart might have room for one more.

Spark of Wrath is the fourth book in the Carnal Tower series. It features one man defined by his anger, crumbling under the weight of it all, and two others who have room to carry him when he can no longer carry himself. Together they define the merits of sandwich making—because there is a wrong way—how crabs on the beach can be romantic, how lovers can be best friends, and how everyone deserves a happily ever after.


Angel's Review: 


I love E.M's work, their writing always blows me away, and I always come away from reading their books learning something. I learned in this book that there is a condition where your nerves decay and you can't move your arms, I learned that if you lose your arms that you can use your feet, and there there are devices so people who don't have the same limbs as others can still have a mostly independent life. I love learning things, and I learned a lot in this book.

I think we as readers can all learn a lot from the characters in this story, sure the characters themselves are fiction... But the way these men are written feels very real, and their emotions are relatable. The way each of these men had something to overcome or adapt to, the way that they each struggled but eventually grew closer together instead of further apart, how they learned to communicate their deepest fears... I think that's all very beautiful, and I think there's a lot to learn from that.

The story itself was beautifully written, as always. I absolutely adored that the other sins made cameos in this book, I enjoyed 'seeing' them again and 'hearing' what they are up to. I still am so intrigued by Hen's character, I hope we get their book soon!

Flint, Tomás , and Luke fit together, it just makes sense. They all contributed something to the relationship, and they each help one another when one is struggling. This book while it does have some angst that EM is known for, it also has elements of insta-love.. the characters fight it at first, but as far as these characters connections go, it was quite fast and not what I was expecting. Having said that though I really enjoyed this story! I'm so happy to be immersed once again in The Carnal Tower world, and I'm so excited to read what's coming next!!


Heather's Review:

I've been waiting with bated breath for the return of the Carnal Sins series, and E.M. Lindsey did not make me wait in vain... They take such broken characters and give them hope, love and redemption.  Once again, an instant connection between M/Cs is highly featured in the first M/M/M story in the Sins series, with three men who have to overcome trauma, pain and their own fears to find their hearts desire in each other.

Beautifully written and crafted in such a way that even the third act break feels completely natural to the story, you'd best clear your schedule before starting Spark of Wrath, because you won't want to put it down.


Spark of Wrath is available in paperback and e-book format and can be read as part of your Kindle Unlimited subcription.
