SECRETS. BETRAYAL. SACRIFICE.

THIS TIME, THEY’RE NOT JUST FIGHTING FIRE.

An original series created by bestselling authors Susan May Warren and Lisa Phillips.

The Hollywood heartthrob and the firefighter with a secret…

Rookie firefighter Emily Micah is determined to prove herself as a new recruit to the elite Jude County Hotshots wildfire team. Assigned to the film set of The Drifters, Emily’s mission is to protect the cast and crew from the special effects that could ignite the tinder-dry Montana forest and start a wildfire.

If only her favorite actor—TV star Spenser Storm—wasn’t getting in her way.

What could go wrong?

Haunted by the memory of a rabid stalker, former child TV star Spenser Storm is hoping to revive his career, but he’s torn between the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and the life of a cowboy on his family’s ranch in Montana. It doesn’t help when he sees the movie that’s supposed to launch his future is going up in flames.

And then there’s beautiful and brave Emily Micah, who not only saves his life but seems to understand him, maybe better than she should.

As an arsonist threatens the film production, seemingly with the goal of destroying the movie entirely, Spenser realizes he’ll stop at nothing to protect his future and the woman now stealing his heart.

But Emily harbors a secret…one that could destroy the flame between them. And when it comes out, it could cost them everything, and ignite an inferno that could destroy all of the northern Montana forest.

Chasing Fire: Montana Series, Book One—Flashpoint—delivers a thrilling and emotional rollercoaster ride that will leave you breathless, yearning for more, and eager to dive into the next chapter of the thrilling series.

My Thoughts on Flashpoint

Flashpoint is an amazing start to a new suspense series that you’re going to love from one of my favorite authors!  I have devoured all her other series and was eager to start this one.  And see an old friend!  Love having characters from previous series show up for a small cameo here and there.  Makes my day to see them again. 

This book follows actor Spenser Storm.  He’s had his share of fame but also his share of struggles and tragedy.  He’s on a new set and things keep going wrong.  A fire on set is just part of it.  What if someone is out to sabotage the movie?  Or is something else going on?  Plus there’s the cute firefighter.  Is she really who she seems to be?  Just a great person with no ulterior motives?

Emily is a rookie with this firefighting team.  It’s not her first time being in danger though.  She has ghosts of her past that still haunt her.  Are they making her more reckless than she should be?

I loved meeting Emily and Spenser.  They’re both amazing and well-written characters who I think I would totally get along with.  But Emily has a problem with not disclosing some things that Spenser needs to know.  Will he find out?  And if he does will he understand?  Meanwhile what about the problems on set?

I loved watching both characters grow and find their paths throughout the novel.  It’s definitely an amazing start to a new series and I will be waiting for the rest to come so I can devour them as well.
