Good read.

Jack Donovan is a survivor.

He's survived years on the streets and years in foster homes. He and his brothers, Rio and Evan, have survived together. They aren't blood related but blood brothers none the less.

They are all smoke jumpers. They own their own company and make loads of money fighting fires in California. They are all very dedicated.

The boys work all summer fighting fires and play the rest of the time. None of them have ever had a serious relationship with any woman. Thats the way they like it.

Jack receives a call from Nonny.

Nonny is the woman who adopted and raised all three brothers. They have nothing but love and respect for her. Nonny wants them to come home. Home to Strong, California. There have been Fires at home. Fires that look like serial fires. Way to many for Ben Cortez, Nonny's man, the local fire chief, to handle.

Jack Donovan is leery of coming home to Strong. He and his brothers left Strong a decade ago but Nonny isn't to be denied. The boys head home.

Lily Cortez left Strong as well. She was in advertizing and doing quite well. But a series of fires around her condo and in her condo convinced her she needed to leave big time. She also got a look at the man who started the fires. Not enough to recognize him but she also knew she had to leave.

She came home to Strong. She bought a lavender farm and is making her home there.

She and Jack Donovan have history. A history that included an almost relationship. A relationship that Jack Donovan would never go for. Lily was way to young and Jack Donovan is a man of honor. He left Strong and Lily behind.

So begins one pretty good read.

This one has Jack, Rio, Evan, Nonny, Ben, Lily a crazy man named Eddie, revenge, fires, one great finale and Jack and Lily reaching for life.

Pretty darned good read and well worth those five stars.

Jack and Lily grew up on the Arizona border in Stone, CA. He was four years older and her crush: a wild, tall, and handsome boy the size of a man. He left for the Marines, serving three tours, then formed his own smoke jumper company. Lily graduated from college and took a position in San Francisco in advertising, doing well until a stalker set fires that drove her back to Stone. When Jack's mother calls asking him to come home for the summer to help with fighting the fires that are popping up in the nearby forrest he resists, but finally agrees. It's only after he arrives that Jack learns the pattern of the fires centers around Lily' s lavender farm and that this isn't the first time she has been plagued by fire. And because of kisses they shared before he moved away ten years earlier, he thinks this is the perfect time to see where things might have gone. But Lily isn't quite on board with that idea.

This is a very good romantic suspense with good character development. I finished it in a day and have put it on my reread and recommend lists.

Hot as hell, Jack Donovan fought fires, jumped out of planes and stayed moving. Nothing could tie him down until Lily. Great book, full of danger, intrigue, and hot fire jumpers. Anne Marsh tells a great story with great characters. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series of "Smoke Jumpers".

Sometimes the push pull things strikes a nerve, and the typographical errors or missing words is frustrating, but there was a part towards the end of the book before the climax that was particularly confounding. It's right before a romantic interlude commences and Jack has put on the rain coat, but all of the sudden Lily is feeling dominant and takes over -- what happened to the raincoat ? Did I misunderstand something along the way? Maybe it's just me, nonetheless I pressed on and reached my happy ending.

Jack Donovan, ex-Marine and expert smoke jumper is back in Storm, California for the summer fire season after running away for ten years. He is needed to help find and stop an arsonist that is after Lily Cortez.

Jack and Lily find they still have unfinished business in the romance department; all the while a crazy arsonist is watching and setting fires. His needs for fire escalates and the end of the story involves a dramatic rescue and a revelation of what is really important to Jack.

It is a great romance with lots of danger and a whole team of hot ex-Marines working to save the town and Lily from Burning Up. Yeah!

Jack left Strong and joined marines and then a Smoke Jumper. While Lily went to college and advertising agency. Both never forgot each other. Though Jack knew with his past he was never going to be a forever kind of guy.

Then Lily started having trouble and someone starting fires. She gets scared and moved back to Strong. Her uncle and jacks mother call him to come help find out who is targeting Lily. It's been ten years since they saw each other.

Lily is not happy to see Jack because she knows he is instant attraction and the chemistry is off the charts but she can't give in because he will never stay and she won't great her heart again .

Can Jack prove he can keep her safe ? Will Jack believe finally Lily is the one he needs in his life and won't run out on him like his past did.

Fantastic scene setter for the rest of the series. We all love a hero and these guys have it in spades. Men with substance character and a willingness to love with all their heart and soul if they are given the chance. Great character and story development by an author who has created a world I can truly visualise. Great value and entertainment.

Hunky guys, what more can you ask for. Bit of sex, but of tension and danger. After ten years our lovers meet again, usual misunderstandings etc. A decent storyline. Due to living in the wet and cold UK, we can't appreciate the fires elsewhere in the world, but this book tells a tale, which I'm sure is based loosely on what really happens. Worth a read.
