Description

Sookie Logan is interested in one thing and Chase Kingston is not it. A fiercely independent helicopter pilot for the National Guard, Sookie is back in her hometown to fly her copter and help fight a fire, not to hook up with some junior firefighter from Alaska. Especially when this particular firefighter works for her brother, the one person in the world who’s let her down the most. The hunk in yellow & tan is off limits.

But when a date intended to just make her brother’s blood boil turns into much more, Sookie and Chase give in to their raging attraction. Both agree it’s a quick fling—something that will last only as long as it takes to knock down the flames threatening her town. Leaving Chase behind will be as easy as leaving her hometown was the first time. No attachments. 

No regrets.

Chase wasn’t looking for a hook-up and definitely not with his boss’s little sister. Besides, Chase isn’t about to fall for Sookie. Their “relationship” is all about the great sex, thank you very much—he’s been burned in the past and there’s no chance of a repeat. No way. Not even if Sookie is starting to get under his skin and he can’t seem to get that little firecracker of his head. 

Just when Chase is beginning to believe they may have something real, the demons he’s been fighting for years come back with a vengeance, making a future between the two as unpredictable as the fire they’re fighting. As the fire rages on, will Sookie and Chase douse their own flame? Or realize they’re meant to face any inferno together?

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!

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.

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 was an unexpected delight. I really enjoyed the story and that it gave us a chance to know each character. Kudos to the author for giving us flawed male characters willing to show emotions, talk about trauma and pain. Also giving us a female copter pilot for a protagonist. This is the first in a series and I look forward to the next installment.

Both Chase and Sookie have been scarred by romantic entanglements in their pasts. And, while they’re highly attracted to each other, neither one is prepared to take on a series commitment. Trying to work together to fight a wildfire while juggling their affair and other family dynamics leads to some unexpected complications that could either bring them together or tear them apart. There’s not much I love more than watching fate take down a pair of lovers who are determined to keep everything between them a light string-less fling. Because, I know that fate loves nothing more than a challenge and the universe laughs when mortals make plans. This pair has cornered the market on snarky banter and their encounter scenes are hotter than the fire they’re fighting. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley.

When firefighter, Chase, volunteers to leave his post in alaska and tackle a wildfire raging in Cedar springs, he leaves with his boss and a crew to take action. Soon the pilot, Sookie, grabs his attention and his heart but with the raging fire outside, Sookie’s brother causing problems and their no strings fling all getting out of control will it work out?

This is the first of Leslie’s books I have read and hell it won’t be the last! Loved it. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review

I loved this book. It is such a sweet but steamy read. I love firefighter books. The characters are very realistic and go together so well. The chemistry is great between them. This is my honest review for an ARC from Netgalley.
