Synopsis: Introducing Annabeth Albert’s Hotshots series—the emotions and intensity of Chicago Fire with the raw, natural elements of Man vs. Wild.
Danger lurks everywhere for Central Oregon’s fire crews, but the biggest risk of all might be losing their hearts…Smoke jumper Lincoln Reid is speechless to see Jacob Hartman among his squad’s new recruits. Linc had promised his late best friend he’d stay away from his little brother. And yet here Jacob is…and almost instantly, the same temptation Linc has always felt around him is causing way too many problems.
Jacob gets everyone’s concerns, but he’s waited years for his shot at joining the elite smoke jumping team, hoping to honor his brother’s memory. He’s ready to tackle any challenge Linc throws his way, and senses the chemistry between them—chemistry Linc insists on ignoring—is still alive and kicking. This time, Jacob’s determined to get what he wants.
Close quarters and high stakes make it difficult for Linc to keep his resolve, never mind do so while also making sure the rookie’s safe. But the closer they get, the more Linc’s plan to leave at the end of the season risks him breaking another promise: the one his heart wants to make to Jacob. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: This book was a little out of my comfort zone, but I did enjoy it. I liked learning about Smoke Jumpers. This book had a lot of heat in more ways then one.
I did like the romance, even though it started out a little iffy. There's always a risk when you decide to date a best friend's sibling. It can turn out pretty weird for all parties involved.
There were a lot of sexy times in this book. Their relationship starts off as a sexy time and kind of grows from there. The did have some history in the past, but they never acted on anything until this point. They do grow with each other and learn about each other.
I also loved the dogs in this story. Any books with dogs is the best.
I enjoyed this story. I enjoyed the setting, the fire team aspect. The romance was pretty cute. I'm interested to see where this series goes.
