Is firecamp a real thing? I'm not from the USA so don't know about that sort of thing. I know there are camps for all sorts of things in the US. I did find a reference to a fire camp in Colorado but it was not a long term thing as this one was. It was only a 5 day thing. However whether it's real or not does not detract from the story. Two young women meet at camp and after some egocentric tripping on Nora's part and insecurity on Fallon's they become a bit more than friendly. There are moments when you feel like giving Nora a good shake! But Nora has her sights set on a photography career and Fallon is left behind. Years layer they meet up again, also at firecamp, where Fallon is now one of the leaders and Nora is there to take photos. This time they talk a bit more. Fallon is injured, Nora's father falls ill, things happen. A second chance romance. Good story, enjoyed it very much.

Jaycie Morrison tells a wonderful 2nd chance, where we see the initial meet and the break, then the reunion 10 years later. 

Both parts are sectioned off in the book.  I enjoyed both parts. However, I wish that after the resolution was a little longer, not go right into the epilogue. I also wish there was more context to the video. 

The MCs were well done and well developed. Both MCs had areas to grow, and Jaycie showed both of their growth. 

The secondary characters were fun and added to the story.  

This was my second book by Jaycie Morrison,  i will look forward to more books by her in the future.

Firecamp is a second chance of love story. Nora and Fallon met along a dumpy road and their relationship hits the same road as Nora wants to pursue her dream which takes her away from Fallon.
Back together years later they learn about the ups and downs they each had and this time around maybe they’ll be able to fulfill their dream of love.

Good story with characters you can root for.

In fire camp we meet Fallon and Nora both who are looking for fresh starts to move on with to their future. Fallon looking to lead her own fire camp team one day and Nora who is looking to survive her family and onto her passion of photo journalism.

Both characters have their challenges within the Colorado forest where they learn and participate in felling trees to protect the forrest from fire. Nora who comes from a family of fire fighter types and is pretty handy with a chainsaw not to mention the chip on her shoulder doesn’t want to be friends with Fallon who is very happy go lucky but is a bit down on her luck. However both can’t help being attracted to each other and eventually their spark ignites.

Ten years pass and a chance to report on a forrest fire drops Nora back into each others lives with Fallon being now in charge of her fire camp. Now back in each others worlds can they get it right this time, both have grown up but not moved on. Their attraction remains and a missed opportunity falls back into place after an unfortunate accident.

I really enjoyed the first part to the story, showing the blossoming romance plus the whole fire camp bit was actually really interesting. But I felt when we fast forward the 10 years although enjoyable to see them reconnect. For me it was just too fast too soon, almost like the issues of the past were not really a big deal at all even when all they had to do was communicate what they both wanted maybe would have saved some heartache!

It’s my first time reading this author work, very enjoyable and easy to read but for me more work was needed to the second half of the book. So much went into the first part that I am not sure resulted in not talking for the past 10 years. Also there was so many good characters in the first part that don’t even return which just felt wasted building those relationships. I was given an opportunity to read this as part of an ARC so thank you for NetGalley, the publisher and the author. I would recommend a read when this comes out on the 15th April.

Nora y Fallon se conocieron en su juventud en un campamento de bomberos, donde ambas aprendían y ayudaban a combatir incendios forestales. Nora, aunque su padre es bombero, aspira a ser fotógrafa, y solo asiste al programa para que su familia la deje seguir su sueño. Fallon, por su parte, busca estabilidad después de la dolorosa pérdida de su madre. Su relación, marcada por diferencias en sus sueños, no perdura y se separan. Sin embargo, diez años después, sus caminos se cruzan nuevamente cuando un gran incendio amenaza el bosque de Colorado, y Nora, ahora fotoperiodista, cubre el trabajo de Fallon, quien lidera el equipo de bomberos. A pesar de la tensión que aún persiste entre ellas, deberán confrontar sus sentimientos y decidir si pueden equilibrar sus sueños y realidades.




Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

First off, the synopsis says fifteen years have passed, but in the book it says ten. I feel like that needs to be addressed. This was my first book by this author and while it had potential, it didn't quite do it for me.

Fallon Monroe is looking for a fresh start and a permanent home and Fire camp is where she's hoping to find all that. The book starts 10 years ago and follows Fallon's first summer in fire camp where she meets Nora and life is never the same.

Nora Palmer just has to get through three months of camp before she can go to Arizona State to per sue photojournalism which is her true love, that is until she meets Fallon.

There's a lot of ups and downs in the first half of the book and the second half seems to bring them back together, but honestly too quickly and easily for my taste. After everything and so much time passed, they basically picked up where they left off which seemed wildly unbelievable to me.

Overall, not a bad book, but not the best. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
