A TOUCH IGNITES. A FIRE BURNS.
AND THE HEAT HAS JUST BEGUN.
Deep in the cool green mountains of the Adirondacks, wounded firefighter Connor MacKenzie has come to rebuild the 100-year-old MacKenzie family cabin – and to be alone. A horrific blaze has left him scarred inside and out and certain of two things: He’ll get back on his hotshot crew no matter what it takes, and any woman who ventures too close will not stay long.
Ginger Sinclair has been burned by a different kind of fire. Having just escaped from a bad marriage, she’s retreated to the safety of the lakeside vacation town in upstate New York to start a new life. She’s done with men, with relationships, with the danger of desires that can rage out of control – until she unexpectedly encounters Connor MacKenzie. As a hot summer on the lake grows ever hotter, they find themselves sharing a cabin and a romance that will swiftly engulf them both. (bellaandre.com)
My rating
I have to admit, the story took me
by surprise. Having picked up the book merely because I read Hot Shot #1 and
#2, this book contained that little bit of something which was missing in the
first two stories. It had lots of clichés in it, but all in all, I enjoyed
reading it.
We met Connor in the previous
books when he ended up in hospital after a getting severely burnt in a
bushfire. Two years later, while still waiting to be re-instated to the
Hot Shot crew, he takes his mind off by repairing his grandparents'
cottage in the mountains of the Adirondacks, which is currently occupied by
Ginger Sinclair.
While Connor is running from his
from his life as it is without being a firefighter, while Ginger is running
from a broken marriage, trying to find herself.
I loved the issues in this book
with Connor severely scarred, yet still sexy, and Ginger the curvier woman,
trying to enjoy life without her parent's money, doing what she wants to do and
not what she's told to do.
One of my favourite scene is, when
Connor pulls her in front of a mirror and makes her "see" how
beautiful she is.
All in all - nice read..
