This book was fun. Honestly, I think that is Hannah Grace's real strength. She writes very fun romances. I loved the relationship between Russ and Aurora. I felt like it was similar to Nate and Stassie though so at times it really felt like I was reading a similar book to Icebreaker which isn't a bad thing necessarily.

I thought that both Russ and Aurora had very compelling character backgrounds which I liked a lot. Russ's background with his parents really hit home with me. It hurt reading those parts with his father and how he was asking for money. It was so interesting getting to see how he and Aurora navigated a complicated set of daddy issues between the two of them.

I think my favorite part of this might have been the camp setting. The camp was fun and unique and it really had me craving summer. I very much loved the way the children and dogs were written into this story. It's hard to do that sometimes but this felt effortless and compelling. I think Fish, Salmon, and Trout are the true show stoppers next to Xander who I will say needs to come back or needs his own story. I loved him and his background with Mason and Director Skinner would be a good introduction into this world for him.

The only real compliant I have is that I wish Russ was more goalie like. The one thing about goalies in hockey is that they are weird and I felt like Russ was just too normal to be considered weird at all. I know that ultimately some of that is because of the fact that he is in a tough situation with his family, but I still feel like he could have some weird personality traits that would add to his goalie-ness.

I absolutely loved this book. Much more than the first in the series. The story did a great job of letting you learn and care about the characters.

Honestly I loved it! Spice with some bite to it. I had a great reading experience and will continue to read her future novels. I appreciate the complexity of the characters and how they lift each other up no matter how dark life gets. Happy that I read it!

The story had its moments of intrigue and kept me engaged to a certain extent, but it lacked the depth and character development I was hoping for. While the writing style was decent, there were parts where it felt a bit forced or cliché. Overall, it's an okay read if you're looking for something light, but don't expect it to leave a lasting impression.

I really enjoyed this sequel to Icebreaker. I wasn't super attached to Russ in Icebreaker, but this book quickly made him one of my favorite characters. The romance was perfection, the pacing was great, and the humor had me laughing out loud. It was exactly the kind of light romance I needed, and I read it in two days. Looking forward to book three!

oh how I loved this one! I was so ready to be back with these characters. The story was set at camp and the main characters, Russ & Aurora, are camp counselors. Let’s just say I went to camp as a kid and I would have been just as nosey as the kids in the book. I loved seeing the two of them develop their relationship together while also dealing with the trauma from their personal lives. And, of course, I loved the cameos from all our Icebreaker characters!

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.

This was such a fun ride. I love a summer camp romance, and this totally delivered. Hannah Grace has developed such a wonderful cast of characters for this series. I look forward to the next one!

Obsessed. Feels so Russ but still has the same energy and comfort of Maple Hills and it’s characters. It deserves all the hype it got❤️
5/5

I loved this one! It was a perfect sequel. Hannah Grace's books just have a way of drawing you in. I loved Russ and Aurora's angsty relationship. The will they or won't they vibe is real. I also adored the setting. I attended summer camp when I was a kid and I loved the memories this brought back. I definitely recommend this!

Loved this book! Characters are funny, quirky and well thought out. Theyre relatable. Hannah Grace is a new to me author that I will not be missing in the future.

I really liked Icebreaker, but I just couldn't get into this book! I don't know if I'm getting too old for new adult or if I couldn't connect to the characters, but the chemistry just didn't jump off the page for me.

I LOVED Icebreaker and Wildfire was the perfect follow-up book. I enjoyed the change of scenery and the dynamic between Russ and Aurora! The fact that they had to sneak around added even more excitement and the spice was SPICYYYY. Perfect combination and I am so excited for Henry's book!!

Loved this story! Such a great continuation of icebreaker! The setting is wonderful and a good deviation from icebreaker.

Hannah Grace is a good author, I just think this series may be a little too young adult for me. I didn't care for Auroras insecurities and dramatics. I absolutely adored Russ but I just didn't like how they both had daddy issues. I will probably read the next book in the series but I do think all her books are too long. Lot of details that could easily be left out. 2.5 stars rounded up to 3

The forced proximity, the banter, the smut! Absolutely 10/10! It’s prominently displayed throughout the store lol I have built several displays with this at the center

This is the
Second book in a series and it was done very well then the first, icebreaker. The storyline and plot and characters are all developed a lot more the story is more thought out and faster Pace it was an easy enjoyable read

Wildfire, by Hannah Grace, unfolds in the scenic backdrop of Maple Hills, capturing the unexpected romance between Russ Callaghan and Aurora Roberts. Their story begins with a brief meeting at a year-end party, leading to a passionate one-night stand. However, fate has other plans as both find themselves as summer camp counselors. Russ is on the run from the shadows of his father’s gambling addiction, hoping distance can mend his troubles. Aurora, on the other hand, is on a quest for a place where she belongs, away from the constant need for attention that has left her feeling empty. Their reunion at camp sets the stage for a summer filled with challenges, self-discovery, and the testing of boundaries set by the camp’s no-fraternization policy.

The story crafted is both endearing and reflective, presenting characters that I felt like were well fleshed out, each carrying personal issues that make them more relatable and human to the reader. Russ and Aurora’s journey from accidental strangers to individuals bound by a shared secret and understanding showcases a spectrum of emotions and growth. However, I felt like sometimes the pacing of the story was a little off, where certain parts slowed down which left me wanting more in certain areas.

From my perspective, Wildfire strikes a chord with its portrayal of flawed yet realistic and relatable characters. The slow moments, although noticeable for me, do not detract significantly from the overall enjoyment of the book. Hannah Grace has succeeded in creating a narrative that, much like its title, is capable of igniting a range of emotions, from cute, sweet to more passionate moments. The book’s charm lies in its ability to blend the simplicity of a summer romance with the complexity of real-life challenges, making it a recommended read for those who appreciate character-driven stories with moments of growth for the characters involved.

It is a cute and compelling narrative that, despite its occasional lulls, leaves a lasting impression with its well-developed characters and heartfelt exploration of love, belonging, and redemption.

The writing was good but I was not in the headspace for dysfunctional parent issues. It felt more realistic fiction than romcom, to me.

This is an amazing sequel to Icebreaker! Hannah makes magic. I can’t wait to see what Hannah has next for us!
