Discovering a new author and being completely swept away by their words is the best feeling! This was such a warm and tender romance that’s also incredibly action-packed and informative. It truly immerses you in the heroic lives of wildland firefighters. I couldn’t put it down!
Hired with a crew out of the Payette National Forest, Reed is a wildland firefighter with a lot to prove. You see so much of his impulsive, carefree attitude continually grow and evolve throughout the story. It's an intense career, one that comes with plenty of danger and uncertainty, and I loved the meaningful change it brought within him.
The serendipitous connection with Hailey, the crew's EMT, was the softest, most deeply romantic slow burn. Both carry emotional walls, afraid to let others in, and I loved how their personal conflicts were shown through individual dual timelines, revealing the lasting scars of their past. I now need to go back and read book one!

"And sometimes, with a stoke of luck or fate or however you'd describe the magic of serendipity when someone steps into your world at the exact turning point you need them to, you find the people who are there for a lifetime. They're your parachute. The ones you hang on to in good times and bad. Because, like a wildfire, life can change in a second. And they'll be the ones who carry you home."
