Firestorm by Lisa Tawn Bergren would not have been my first
choice as a book to read – it was actually my only choice (here’s a plug for
people to help me get my Klout up).
Firestorm is Book 6 in the Full Circle series. Within the
series each book is somewhat tied to the other through the relationships of
characters. Firestorm follows Reyne Oldre a few years after her being involved in
a tragic accident while fighting a forest fire. No longer on the frontlines of fighting
forest fires, Reyne is making a presentation as part of her US Forest Service
job for a research project to help save more firefighter lives. Just as she
begins to wind up her presentation, she’s interrupted by the obligatory
entrance of a loud, brash, handsome (wink,wink) man who steals the attention of
the board and the funding for her project.
A week later this same man parachutes in to her home while
she has company and tells her that they will be working together on his project. Needless to say, this
encounter doesn’t end well.
From there on out, while not being too formulaic the
inevitable happens. Arguing, testiness and love. True love. It is refreshing
that the characters are Christians and actually pray for guidance and help.
The book is well written and I am sure that the others in the
series are as well. I have to be candid in saying that romance novels are not
my cup of tea. Same goes with girl movies. I can leave them to the girls. But I
will recommend that if you do like romance novels this is a series for you.
As always, Waterbrook/Multnomah provided this book to me in
return for an honest, unbiased review.
