it had me a firefighter. Enough said for me. It had it all. Troubled past and how a couple come together. I rooted for them throughout the book.

Lighting Fire is a smokin’ hot romance between two people who didn’t intend to have more than a very temporary fling, and maybe to poke a bit at Sookie’s brother and Chase’s boss as an added bonus. As their fling quickly becomes something more, and something neither expected, the question becomes what do they do with the emotions they have for each other. The past doesn’t always stay neatly in the past where it belongs. Trusting each other becomes just as important as needing each other when the past brings even more chaos into their situation.

The cover description gives you a lot to consider and help to decide if this story is one you want to pick up. I found Lighting Fire a quick but intense read with believable characters facing a present danger, as well as trouble from the past. The chemistry between Sookie and Chase sizzles, and there is no denying the attraction between them. I enjoyed myself with this story and I’ll keep an eye out for the rest of the series. If you’re looking for a quick, sizzling, satisfying read to capture your imagination for a few hours then this is one you’ll want to consider.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

Lighting Fire is book 1 in the California Wildfire Fighters series. Sizzle, passion and turmoil, this story is short and full of emotion. I loved Chase and Sookie and along with the support cast this is one I would definitely recommend to other readers.

I really enjoyed this new and different type of romance from Leslie North. The firefighter/ small town is a little out of the norm and I love it. I liked Chase a lot as the lead male with him being a "player" but there being much more to him. Sookie was a big surprise for the female lead. I liked her spirit and that she was aimless and somehow found herself by piloting Blackhawks. Plus the two together, you just sit a root for them.

Lighting Fire is the first book in Leslie North’s brand new California Wildfire Fighters series and is jam-packed with sizzling passion and emotional turmoil too! The book definitely lives up to its name, and not just because of the combustible chemistry between the lead characters, but also due to the raging inferno that leads an Alaskan crew of fire-fighters south to battle an unpredictable foe.

The plot is good and the story is easy to follow with enough tension and angst to balance the unquenchable lust between Chase and Sookie. I liked the support cast and look forward to discovering the mystery surrounding fire chief Hank, in stories yet to come. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a quick, exciting read.

Sookie Logan is only interested in flying her helicopter to help fight fires. But one date with junior firefighter Chase Kingston changes things. The date was originally intended to just make her brother’s blood boil but it turns into much more, The quick fling grows into a raging fire!

Fast paced, short read, set among a group of firefighters tackling a wild fire. Sookie is there as a helicopter pilot. When she meets Chase she is attracted to him, but her brother Hank is his boss.....

Looking forward to reading the rest of this series.

I like this author and have to say this was another great read. I like the way the characters intermingle and nobody gets lost. Chase and Sookie are lost souls who find each other and decide to take a chance. This could be the events of so many people’s lives which is what I like about this book.

Chase is a hot shot firefighter who has a love em and leave em attitude towards women. Sookie has returned to her hometown as a National Guard helicopter pilot to help fight a forest fire. Sookie and Chase decide they can have a no strings relationship. Things get complicated fast.

This is a sexy, fast read romance. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

I don't think I've ever read a firefighter book by Leslie North. I gotta say, I really really loved it. She made me feel the fire practically. This was only book one, so I can't wait to see what is in store for two and three.

Lighting Fire by Leslie North
California Wildfire Fighters #1

Quick easy read ~ Sizzling chemistry between Sookie and Chase but both come with baggage and difficulty with trust.

Sookie flies for the National Guard and has been sent to help firefighters where her estranged brother and part of his team have been sent to assist local firefighters with wildfires. The book discusses a bit of the past of the characters, has the meet-cute and then the developing relationship that they both agreed would be a fling. There is appearance of two old flames – Sookie’s and her brother’s – and potential for more than one book in the series.

I enjoyed the story but found it a bit predictable and an easy read without a great deal of depth – that said – sometimes that is just the type of story a girl needs to read on a hot afternoon.

Thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.

3-4 Stars

This is Chase and Sookie book, Chase is a firefighter in Alaska and Sookie flies helicopters for the national guard. Chase comes to town with his team of firefighters lead by none other than Landon Sookie brother! They don't get along for some reason that's not really touched on in this book to much I'm assuming it'll be in the next book?! Which is Landon book, this was definitely a really good book but to short i did get the full story and it was hot and suspense, drama and some good action but towards the end it goes really quick and kinda drops off but that's what happens in short books! Like I said I still really liked it but wished it was longer! I'll definitely read the rest of the series that's how good it was I just wish they were full books! Thank you NetGalley and relay publishing for sharing this book with me!
