about the book

RESCUE. DANGER. DEVOTION.

THIS TIME, THEIR HEARTS ARE ON THE LINE…

An original series created by bestselling authors Susan May Warren and Lisa Phillips.

She came to Alaska searching for her troubled brother… and found herself kidnapped by a dangerous militia.

Jamie Winters will risk anything to rescue her brother Tristan, even infiltrating the militia’s remote compound. But when she’s abducted, there’s only one man who can save her—Logan Crawford, the elite smokejumper she’s never stopped loving.

Yes, Logan relocated to Alaska’s Midnight Sun smokejumpers to find Jamie and win back her heart. So when he learns she’s been taken, of course he’ll stop at nothing to bring her home safe. But when he accidentally leads the team into the militia’s deadly trap, he’s in over his head…

And hunted.

Now wounded and on the run, Jamie and Logan must fight for their lives in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. But the biggest risk of all is the sparks between them… and the terrible cost of a second chance at love.

Jumpstart your summer reading with this edge-of-your-seat journey of peril, faith, and finding the courage to love one last time in book one of the bestselling Chasing Fire: Alaska romantic suspense series.

review

an exciting start to a new series!

logan crawford relocate to alaska specifically for a chance to win back jamie winters. she's in alaska to help her brother, tristan—and it's this urge to save her family, no matter the cost, that drove a wedge between her and logan in the first place. will a second chance at love actually change anything between them?

there's plenty of action and danger, as jamie and logan sort through their feelings, and burning hearts proves to be a fast-paced, quick read. it blends the romance and the suspense well, while introducing plenty of characters that, i'm sure, will make appearances later in the series.

fans of action, adventure, romance, and suspense set in alaska are sure to have fun with this new book (and new series). it's exactly what i've come to expect from lisa phillips (and susan may warren).

i received a complimentary copy from the publisher. i was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions i have expressed are my own.
