The protagonist of this aptly-named novel about firefighting is Chelsea James, captain of a first aid squad in a fire department. Brother Brad is fire department captain. Their relationship is complicated at work and by disagreement over managment of the James family assets. Beside work, Chelsea oversees the welfare of her orphaned nephew Max. As this story begins, her former lover Jake reappears on the scene after a long absence and the dim flame of their romance begins flickering. It's tough g...more
One hot number, who is the arsonist?
Sometimes trial and tribulation make us stronger in character. Sometimes too much power and wealth make us weaker. This story shows us both sides of the coin.
Chelsea has inherited her father's voluntary rescue company. Her brother is the town's fire chief. They are often at odds at home but are dedicated to their work which sometimes requires both fire and rescue. An arsonist is at work in the town and resembles completely the work of an arsonist several years...more

I received an electronic ARC copy of this book from the author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for the review, and all conclusions are honest and entirely my responsibility.
This book was an interesting read; it was well crafted with neatly inserted points of view from firefighting and EMT work. It is a book that drops you into the middle of an ongoing story, and then proceeds to enlighten the reader into the background. Chelsea is both the main character and the pivot point...more

Incendiary centered around Chelsea and the ordeals she faced in trying to keep the local first aid squad she is the captain of from being replaced, overcoming the tension between her and her older brother Brad, and having to deal with the feelings that arise when her ex-boyfriend Jake returns after 10 years.
There was a lot going on that I wouldn't have minded if the book were longer, if only to have more details and background. I think...more

I have just finished this remarkable book! Chris has captured small-town life perfectly. I loved the sibling rivalry between Chelsa and Brad, and their hidden love and respect. Jake as a innocent returning to clear his name was great! His descriptions of the workings of the fire department and EMTs is very knowledgeable. My interest was captured easily. Chris has written a very smooth flowing book.
She is Captain of the rescue Squad. He was her high school love who left town after being accused of setting a series of fires. He is back now as a Fire Inspector. She and her adopted son (the six year old child of her deceased twin) live in her late parents home with her older brother, the local Fire Captain. A series if fires start in their town. The Fire Inspector is the first person anyone thinks of as the guilty party. Chick lit...yes, but well done chick lit. Predictable...yes, but engross...more
