The Burning Point by Mary Jo Putney Book Summary

This novel was previously released as Stirring the Embers.

The first contemporary novel by New York Times bestselling author, The Burning Point is a riveting story of the ties that bind two people together—and the incendiary forces that can tear them apart.

Kate Corsi always dreamed of working for her family's world famous explosive demolition business—a wish her old-fashioned father denied until the day he died.  According to his will, Kate will receive a fortune while her ex-husband, Donovan, will inherit the family business.  But only if they agree to live under the same roof for a year.

Forced into a reluctant alliance, Kate and Donovan must discover the truth about her father's death—and confront the past that almost destroyed them both.  And as they face their shattered dreams, their wrenching secrets and bitter resentments, they find themselves sliding perilously toward the burning point where passion catches fire once more….

The Burning Point was listed as one of the five best romances of the year by Library Journal.

The Circle of Friends series:

#1: The Burning Point
#2: The Spiral Path
#3: An Imperfect Process
#4: A Holiday Fling (Novella)

Praise for The Burning Point:

"Powerhouse novelist Mary Jo Putney explodes on the contemporary scene with an emotionally wrenching and dramatically intense story.  She tackles a very difficult subject with insight, and compassion.  Exceptionally powerful reading!"
–Romantic Times Magazine

"This passionate love story [unfolds] gradually, in trademark Putney style.  The author has created a realistic, well-crafted story, laced with elements of suspense and mystery and featuring sympathetic protagonists whose biggest mistake was marrying too young."
–Publishers Weekly

"Kate and Patrick are both complex people, and answers do not come easily for the unresolved issues in their past. Set against the backdrop of demolition work and a question of sabotage, this gripping story sizzles with passion and danger, but is ultimately about healing and forgiveness—not only for others, but for ourselves as well. Mary Jo Putney will no doubt gain new fans with this book."
–The Old Book Barn Gazette

"Ms. Putney is one of the very best authors who excel at historical romances—now she's crafted her first contemporary and fans of both genres will be delighted to learn that her incredible talent for compelling characterization and original premises comes through on every page.  She takes a taboo issue not normally found in a romance and with touching sensitivity, creates a poignant tale about forgiveness and the awesome power of love to heal all wounds….I could not put it down."
–Rendezvous

Very interesting storyline. Complex, sad, happy, surprising in some areas but overall a very good read. Loved Donovan and Kate who each had their own demons to fight. Love wins in the end!

The Burning Point. **SPOILER ALERT** I come from abuse. I've never believed there was a good enough reason to either explain it, forget it, or forgive it. Thank God for Ms. Putnam. There are reasons for it, and while it isn't ever forgotten; forgiveness exists and is possible. The characters Ms Putnam has created here are rich in texture and complexity. They lead real lives, share real pain, joy, and love. Our families and friendships are so complicated, and sometimes downright strange, yet we love them. Interwoven threads of family and friendship which bring everyone together abound in the story. I am so happy I downloaded this book. We're never to old to learn new lessons and peel back another layer of truth. About ourselves and others. Thank you, Ms. Putney.

The Burning Point. A very sensitive portrayal of abuse and forgiveness and love, this book is a keeper.

The Burning Point. Excellent story about abuse and all the elements that it encompasses. The main characters are quite remarkable in themselves yet have the failings of a human being. This story teaches, has excitement and introducing knowledge of demolition.

The Burning Point. This was a riveting story of second chance love and forgiveness. The story was entrenched in lost trust and a rebuilding that not only included forgiving someone else but one’s own self. There was a minor second story of finding love after the death of a spouse that was so touching and beautiful.

The Burning Point. Great read

Unusual story. Very interesting read.

The Burning Point. Great romance and mystery all in one. And best of all a happy ending. And a lesson was also in there for a lot of us.

The burning point. This book was an unusual romance novel in that it dealt with marital abuse and the long lasting effect it has on both the victim and abuser. I was pleased that the basic premise was LEAVE. In this novel, the couple are thrown together after a ten year separation and have a chance to come to terms with the behaviors that broke their marriage and individual souls. Another serious plot line dealt with becoming a widow and learning to deal with a new single life. The author’s conclusion was more pedantic than I like.

Interesting story. I wasn't keen on the domestic violence issue with the characters. I feel very strongly against this type of abuse and to use it in a love story left me unsettled. I hope there isn't a woman somewhere who has read this book and is or was in a similar situation and because of this story is contemplating that she may have a similar outcome. Loved the story apart from that.

Boiling point. So many emotions we don't deal with Bri g discussed . It waa quite cathartic and an absolute great read .

Poorly written & boring. Should come with a warning that it contains silly people going back to their abuser. Story line is full of subtle bullying and abuse.
