Good overall

I really enjoyed the story...for the most part.

First, I’ll mention the three things about this book that I didn’t really care for. 1) There were lots of characters and scenes in the book that did nothing to move the story forward and made me scratch my head, asking, what was the point? 2) A lot of time was spent on the mystery of who was trying to hurt the black firefighters, but it was the most anti-climactic ending to a mystery I have ever read. 3) The side story, which I believe is connected to the book that preceded this one, was just too much. I honestly didn’t care about Gloria (the civil rights attorney), her sisters, and her family drama. It was out of place in this book.

The best things about this book were Jerome and Lloyd. I loved everything about them. They were the epitome of good, beautiful, strong, faithful men. The love they both had for their wives, and profession, was awe inspiring. I cried when Jerome stood at the accident scene of his beloved Nicole. I know it’s a book, but I think I held my breath (and probably even sent up a prayer...which I know is crazy) while she was being worked on by the paramedics. And, of course, I cheered when Nicole “snapped” at her kids. I laughed and cried. I also enjoyed the truth and history that was given in this book about black Los Angeles County Firefighters. The history of racism is real.

This is a book that I would most certainly recommend. The story was good and the narration by Thomas Penny was excellent.

A Griping Story!

First of it was narrated very well,to my surprise, I'd heard this gentleman before and didn't care for his voice, this story was very well read and appealing. I also loved how other characters - from a previous book (, Sitting in the Front Pew) were Incorporated into the story, made it more interesting for me, heart warming and exciting story!
