Fight

Sky Ridge Hotshots, Volume 1

De: Sloane St. James

Narrado por: Savannah Thomas, Brandon Francis

Callahan

Fighting wildfires is the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do and I’m damn good at it. Being the captain of an interagency hotshot crew of wildland firefighters is high-risk, high-reward. The risk blindsided me five years ago when I lost one of my crew and was changed forever. Now the only rewards I allow are to work harder, smarter, and enjoy easy, sexy nights with strangers.

Until I meet Prescott Timmons. Her smart-mouth and adventurous spirit have me forgetting all of my rules—until her past shows up and lies start to feel too familiar. I swear to never spare her a second glance, but when she finds herself in a life or death situation with mother nature, my instincts kick in, and I take action. Stranded and sharing a bed again, we’re forced to face our truth. Do we let this fire burn out or fight?

as a girl that is currently obsessed with 9-1-1 this was all i needed and more

Religious Trauma

I’m trying to gather my thoughts about this book. It explores religious trauma, and that usually isn’t my jam since it is a heavy topic and it makes me angry. But I enjoyed this book and it is good to see people come out the other side of that.

Tropes include:

-miscommunication
-one bed
-forced proximity
-PTSD
-starting over

The narration was fantastic! Savannah and Brandon did an amazing job!

Exciting and Hot!

I didn’t expect to love this story as much as I did! I loved Cal and Scottie so much. They were hot and heavy right off the bat, then some miscommunication/no communication impeded and they stopped talking. Though they couldn’t stop thinking of each other. He’s a Wildland Hotshot and she’s a paramedic. He’s the town playboy and she’s coming to town to escape a religious cult. They both have severe trauma, and help each other to seek help and help each other heal.

This is definitely a character driven story with so many layers and I felt it was done so well. They get trapped during a snowstorm for a few days and are forced to figure out why they fell apart early on, forced to face their pasts and trauma, and realize their feelings for each other. Their traumas I felt were handle with care and compassion and truly loved this story! The spice was so good and Cal’s mouth could light a fire on its own! I can’t wait to get to know the other guys of this team!

I’d Fight for Callahan & Scottie Anyday!!

This audio is 🔥🥵!! It’s duet style & the narrators (Savannah Thomas & Brandon Francis) were incredible!! They didn’t just “read” the story, they acted it & brought it to life SO WELL! I knew it was going to be good, but I was blown away!

DEAR LORD SLOANE!! CAL & SCOTTIE ARE 🥵

“Still with me?” ALWAYS CAL, ALWAYS!!!!🥹

Sloane is a favorite author of mine, Lakes Hockey is the best hockey series, so I expected this one would be good, but I was speechless for Cal & Scottie! I loved them so so much!! Obviously it’s not hockey, but I am SAT for these hotshots!!

Scottie is a woman escaping a twisted past & Cal is the hotshot who doesn’t settle down. Their instant attraction, their banter (top tier!), their chemistry, their SPICE(🥵) is all fantastic! I mean even when they have the worst communication mishap (it works okay), they’re still bantering like no other!

How they come back together is one of my favorite “come back together” sequence in any book I’ve read! Even when they are screaming at each other 😂…& Sloane needs an award for making Battleship sexy hahahaha!!

But seriously, you need them in your life!!!

2nd loves

I liked how this book was a page turner and had unexpected twists. Loved the backstory of each character and how it unfolded. I think I listened to the whole book in less than a day!

Playboy Firefighter meets new beginning EMT

Loved the depth this book had and the growth of the MMC, Cal.

Cal is in a dark place mentally and all he focuses on is his job and his next hookup. Cal is a wildfires firefighter and after loosing his supervisor/ best friend’s dad, he knows what can be lost so he works hard and makes sure everyone is doing their part the right way.

Prescott/Scottie is new in town after leaving Arkansas. She has no money to her name and is in Washington hoping to be an EMT. Once she gets the job she celebrates with a drink at a bar. Meeting Cal was so fun. The banter was so good and they really feed off each other’s energy. Wildfire season has started and at a location, Cal runs into the new hire, Prescott. Thinking it was a he but turned out to be Scottie, he was shocked. They end up spending time together and hook up.

Cal was burned by his ex-fiance, 5 years prior, so now he’s a playboy. His one rule is not mess with anyone married. Well when Scottie’s secret comes out to him, he pushes her away. She has no clue what happened why he ghosted her. She goes out hiking to clear her mind but it turns out snow was in the forecast. She gets knocked out by a rubble slide. Cal pasted her when she entered and he was exited the mountain entrance. Cal is worried so he goes looking for her. When he does she has a dislocated shoulder, a concussion and huge gash in her head. She’s also locked in due to a large boulder. They hike up together to a mountain firefighter lookout. They end up there 4/5 days. Over the forced proximity they have to talk.

I loved the growth of Cal. He really grew and softened as a person. What I didn’t like is the plot lot of a religion past for Scottie. That’s a personal thing due to religion trauma myself so I really wanted to skip over those parts but it really is who Scottie was.

Over all great book! I absolutely loved the audio of this book!

Tropes:
Firefighter/EMT
Small town
ONS
Reformed Playboy
Miscommunication
Forced proximity
Hookup to enemies to lovers

It’s good

It was a little bit predictable but that’s kinda why we read books like this. The narrators are good and the duet really makes it worth it. It is a bit spicy so if you hate that this may not be for you, or you could just skip those spots. Happy reading!

Into The Fire: A Gripping Romance That Burns HOT

Fight starts with a bang—literally and emotionally. This fast-paced, high-heat romance drops you straight into the fireline (and the feels) with Cal, a brooding hotshot crew captain battling CPSD and grief, and Scottie, a fierce survivor starting over after escaping a religious cult. Set in a small Pacific Northwest town, this book blends emotional depth with pulse-pounding chemistry from the jump.

The trauma both characters carry isn’t just background noise—it shapes their vulnerabilities, their healing, and ultimately the trust and intimacy they build together. The emotional growth is just as compelling as the physical tension (and whew, the tension is steamy).

Tropes lovers, prepare to swoon:
• Forced Proximity
• Hookup to Enemies to Lovers
• Reformed Bad Boy
• Light Kink
• Found Family Vibes
• Small Town Romance

The spice? Sizzling. I’d rate it a 4.5/5 for heat—and it earns every drop. I gave the overall story a solid 4/5 for its blend of emotional complexity and off-the-charts chemistry.

If you’re into gritty, healing-centered romance with unforgettable tension, Fight is worth the read. The duet narration in the audiobook was phenomenal—Savannah Thomas voicing Scottie was especially perfect. I’m already queuing up book two.

Good story

I really love the backstory and the characters. The narrators were amazing as well. I loved that it was fast paced and emotional and I could really get into the story!

10/10 😍

I can’t believe I waited to long to listened to this book. It had everything! Emotional, happy, scary, and a sexy firefighter lol. This couple!! I’m just in love.
Callahan is just written soo well, I loved him and I was mad at him then he’s turns it all around and become a top notch book boyfriend. Yes he made me mad but I get it, he well makes up for it.
Prescott is a strong character, she’s trying to move on with her life from her past that was controlling and stifling, and is now on her own being a EMT. The way these characters mold to each other and become so powerful. I’m just swoon lol.
I would definitely recommend this audiobook and I can’t wait to start the next one in this series.
