The last thing they expect is a jailbreak and when the prisoners disappear into the forest with one of their own, they’ll have to fight not only the fire, but for the freedom of their friends…during the Summer of the Burning Sky.
Book 1: Light My Fire
Former bad-boy Tucker Newman has learned his lesson—as the temporary team leader of the Jude County Smokejumpers, he’s all about following the rules to keep his team safe. Especially when he has to partner with a group of local low-security prisoners to knock down the raging fire. But the prisoners are not who they seem, and when they stage a break, kidnapping one of his teammates, he’ll have to break every rule he knows to get her back.
US Marshal Stevie Mills knows that to get the job done, she must work alone. She simply can’t risk another person getting hurt because of her. When she discovers that a wanted fugitive accused of rape and murder has not only been set free to fight the fire—but is now on the lam with a hostage– the last thing she needs is a zealous smokejumper getting in the way of her pursuit.
Whether they like it or not, Tucker and Stevie must join forces if they hope to save lives, and in the meantime, they just might discover a new definition for the word teamwork, in book 1 of the Summer of the Burning Sky.
My thoughts: Oh, oh, oh! There is a reason why Susan May Warren is a favorite and this is action-packed adventure and romantic suspense that you can’t put down.
What do you get when you have smoke jumpers fighting a raging wildfire, a prison break, and a US Marshall all wrapped up in the adventure. Somethings gotta give. But its not the writing. Ms. Warren had me surrounded by the drama with absolutely no hope for escape. Put the book down? Forget it.
I can’t say too much about the book because it is only 152 pages long, and it only took mere hours to read, but I am still reeling from the adrenaline rush, short of breath, shaking, and oh my word. And I have to wait a month for book two to find out what happens next in this continuing drama!!!
I paid money for this kindle copy, it was in no way, shape, or form free or discounted and I am a verified buyer. This review is simply because I loved the story.
