My Thoughts:

What a great start to a new series focused on a team of smokejumpers stationed out of Alaska. This first book focuses on Logan, a smokejumper who joined mainly because he is looking for the woman he believes is the love of his life. He let her go a few years ago, and he has been looking for her ever since.

Jamie is that woman. Jamie also loves Logan, but she has a real hard time with him when he doesn't understand why she keeps stepping in the gap for her addict mother and wayward brother. I also wondered why Logan had such a problem with her family caring as well. It was the biggest obstacle between them. However, as I got to know Logan better, I did understand his feelings even if I didn't necessarily agree with him all the time.

Jamie's biggest issue was that she was very self-reliant and wanted to be in control too much. What I mean is that her heart was in the right place where her family was involved, but she needed to understand better that her brother and mother were adults that were making their own decisions. So, Logan was right to be concerned with Jamie.

I really got the feel for Alaska and all of its wildness and beauty including the dangers. Dangers made up of fires, wildlife, and unscrupulous men. I enjoyed the family team mentality and getting to meet the rest of the team which this series will showcase in their respective stories. There is a lot of backstories to uncover, present times intertwined, and futures at risk and I am looking forward to in this series. This was a great start to rekindling a romance while running away from or walking into danger in the wilds of Alaska.

I was provided a copy of this novel by the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review, and all views and opinions are my own.
