SECRETS. BETRAYAL. SACRIFICE.
THIS TIME, THEY’RE NOT JUST FIGHTING FIRE.
An original series created by bestselling authors Susan May Warren and Lisa Phillips.

He thought his life was over…and then she walked back in.

Charlie Benning has always been a rescuer—first with the Last Chance County Fire and Rescue team, and now as a firefighter with the Jude County Hotshots.

But this summer isn’t about saving lives—it’s about hiding his own terrible secret. A secret he’s keeping from his estranged daughter, Alexis.

But fate is about to intervene.

Will their secrets destroy their second chance?

Jayne Price raised her son, Orion, on her own just fine, thank you. And now, she runs Wildlands Academy, a summer camp that teaches kids how to fight forest fires and confront their own teenage angst—kids like Alexis Benning, who clearly has a chip on her shoulder about her semi-estranged, firefighter father.

And Jayne has her own issues, like not wanting her only son to join the elite smokejumping corps. It’s enough that he’s risking his life as a hotshot on the Jude County team.
Then the wildfire turns its force onto the camp and suddenly the hotshots show up to help her fight it.

The only problem…the last person she expects is for her former flame, Charlie Benning—the man she can’t forget—to show up to work alongside her son.

Rather, his son.

Who he doesn’t know exists.
And then Charlie discovers the secret she’s been keeping, and he’s torn between anger and the long-simmering love that refuses to die. And Jayne isn’t about to let go of the man she loves a second time. But if the blazing wildfire isn’t enough, a dangerous and relentless killer is on the prowl in the woods…

Now, with the camp cut off from the outside world and the fire closing in, it’s a race against time as Charlie, Jayne, Orion, and a team of courageous smokejumpers join forces to protect the campers against a merciless inferno and a murderer. But the biggest threat of all might be Charlie’s devastating secret that could destroy the happy ending they’ve waited for so long.

Prepare for an edge-of-your-seat journey that will leave you breathless until the very last page, in book four of the Chasing Fire: Montana series.

My Thoughts on Firestorm

I am in love with this series!  Each book comes out and I devour it within hours.  I’m waiting for the next one!  They all follow the same team, the Hot Shots, but they focus on different members of the team.  So you get an in-depth look at each of them.  This book actually gave us more of an up-close look at two members.  Who we learn are actually father and son. 

But I don’t want to give away too much of the book so I’m not going to go into details.  

Charlie. 

Oh, he’s the oldest guy on the team.  Much like a father figure to the crew.  He’s had a lifetime of experience.  But what happens when he finds out that he IS the father of someone on the crew?  And what would happen if the team or his family found out his awful secret?

Orion. 

He was raised by a single mom, Jayne, who runs a camp that teaches kids how to be Hot Shots or fire jumpers or really just how to survive and fight fires if you will.  So it’s no surprise that that is the path he chose in life.  But what happens when he finally learns who his biological father is? And that he actually knows him?  Has met him and gotten to know him as a person before all this came out?

I loved this novel.  These guys were great to get to know and I enjoyed getting to know Jayne and Alexis as well. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up and all the recommendations!
