Love the characters and the continuoion of the series. Too slow of a burn for me. But the spice was hot

Thank you so much for letting me read this! I love summer camp and love the idea of a romance happening while there. I experienced that as a teen, so it was fun to "relive" it. However, I don't love how spicy this book is.

Wildfire by Hannah Grace was an enjoyable, slower burn of a romance. While it took its time to build up the chemistry, I appreciated the depth of the characters and the gradual development of their relationship. The pacing was a bit slow at times, but the emotional payoff made it worth it in the end. A solid, heartfelt read!

This book was okay. I absolutely loved Icebreaker so I was really excited for this one. Ultimately it just didn't deliver the same emotions in me, and while I know they're two different books, it's hard to separate them and I felt a little disappointed. It was still cute, I loved the camp setting. I just didn't get there with the chemistry of the couple.

Hannah Grace really has taken the contemporary romance genre by storm. She isn't reinventing the wheel, but she is cranking out some really great in-depth characters and fun situations they find themselves in. I was able to read this book in a day and had a great time.

The plot kept me engaged and hooked on the characters. I love the friendship that the guys have, but I can’t say that Aurora gave me the same vibes as Stassie did in Icebreaker. Stassie definitely held the spoiled , attention seeking personality. There were definitely moments when I felt like I was receiving free therapy, but I’m not complaining about that. I imagine other readers enjoyed it too. Overall, this was an easy read, it made me happy and hopeful for good friendships, always.

The way I have fallen in love with these characters! Hannah Grace has created an amazingly fun cast that ill. Ever tire of. She shines when it comes to dialogue. The banter and wit is so well done, and never feels forced. These books are tricky to recommend where spice is concerned, but she is absolutely my go to recommended author for hockey and spore romance. .

“Wildfire” by Hannah Grace has an interesting premise, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The characters felt a bit underdeveloped, making it hard to connect with their journey. While there were some exciting moments, the pacing was uneven and made the story drag at times. The writing style was decent, but it lacked the spark needed to keep me fully engaged. Overall, it had potential but just didn’t deliver the captivating read I was hoping for.

This was way better than Icebreaker, by a long shot! Seeing Russ and Aurora's love grow and how they found ways to relate to each other despite the difference in their backgrounds was awesome. My heart ached for both of them, having to deal with situations that were way too grown up for them since youth. Also shout out to the fact that the third act miscommunication didn't happen??? Love when that happens. I feel as though this book truly shows more of Grace's prose and writing skills. Overall, this was such a delight!

Super cute sequel to Icebreaker! I love the secondary characters from the last book appearing as main characters in this one. Russ and Aurora needed their own story!

Overall super cutesy, and very much in line with Hannah Grace's other books! I enjoyed everything about it!

I loved this second installment in the Maple Hills trilogy. Honestly, my favorite part about this novel was the shy and slightly introverted main character. I couldn't get enough of him! The spice was great, the romance was top-notch, and it was just such a feel-good romance! The story line got my attention from the very beginning, making it a quick and fun read for any type of season! :)

There is something about this series that is so, so fun to me. Hannah Grace's books are instant joy-bringers, and Wildfire absolutely confirmed this for me! Set at a summer camp, and following a member of the hockey team we spent so much time with in book one, this is just perfect, summer-time goodness. Our main characters are Russ and Aurora, two college students/camp counselors with extreme daddy issues but lots of love to give. Like book one, this has a great cast of characters, a super healthy and communicative romance, and a little more steam than I'm used to, or like. I definitely rooted for them all the way and enjoyed their growth. This does have the same big issue as book one, which is a meandering plot. This is not quite as bad as book one, but there is no one conflict, just several small things. It was just a little too long.

Still, I love it, and I think most libraries should be adding the Maple Hills books to their collection. They're popular for a reason. This one fun, readable and sweet, with relatable characters and lots of swoony moments. I'm eager to read book three.

Thanks NetGalley for the preview!

This sequel was sweet and spunky! I loved Russ and his complex personality. The spice was great and Rory was a good leading lady. I love camp based stories and it was an all around fun read!

Really good, but the third act felt a little out of left field and rushed. However, the payoff in Daydream made it worth it--but the payoff is a b plot in a different book which is not super good.

Hannah grace does it again. These characters are always very mature for their ages but I still enjoy their stories. Spicy and sweet, with two characters I could follow around forever.

I can understand why people like this series but unfortunately, it really is just not for me. I don’t think I connected with any of the characters and it’s just not a series that I will continue to read.

Dare I say I enjoyed this story even more than book 1 - these characters were real and relatable and absolutely adorable. The entire story playing out over the backdrop of summer camp was the perfect summer read.

I mean…I didn’t hate it.

Soooooo much better than Icebreaker. As far as New Adult novels go the plot and characters were a thousand times better than the first book. I’m tired of the daddy issues, and the rich/poor dynamic but overall the 3rd act breakup (weak) didn’t drag. Also finding it a bit disturbing that Hannah Grace only writes “pick me” girls. Like honey, give your women some agency. Russ was a great MMC. Really liked him.

If you are looking for a read as satisfying as Icebreaker, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.
This book was ok. It felt like a sophomore effort. I don’t find the main characters compelling enough to recommend to other readers. I appreciate the free ARC, but am glad I did not purchase this novel.
