Suspense and romance

Fire Games is full of suspense, drama, and romance...the kind of book you just can’t put down. It is well written and flows nicely. The characters are vivid and realistic. The faith aspect is refreshing and has been a great reminder that God’s timing is perfect.

Romantic Suspense and Clean Romance!

This is the first novella in The Men of Fire Beach Series, a romantic suspense, and clean romance. The story is intriguing and captivating. The storyline is well developed and suspenseful. I like Cassidy (a firefighter), and Jordan (a detective). The secondary characters are interesting. The author, Lorana Hoopes, is also the narrator of this story. She did a great job with the narration. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, Lost Memories and New Beginnings.

Firefighter romance

This was a great firefighter romance with a twist, Cassidy is a female firefighter. Jordan is your normal, tough police officer who is commitment phobic. He is working to keep Cassidy safe from a stalker, and she is trying to breaking down his barriers. Great start to this series.

Great book!

This audiobook was a great listen! The author was also the narrator and she did a fantastic job!!! The characters had distinct voices and the male voices were low enough to tell they were suppose to be a male character. I’m not a fan of Christian stories but this storyline is full of suspense and not heavy on religious point of view. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the next one in the series!

Love the name!

This is a nice suspense story. The characters are fun and intriguing. This was a first for me by Ms. Hoopes but I look forward to listening to the next in this series. It had one hiccup of a repeated line near the end. And Occasionally, I had a hard time telling when it switched from one character voice to another, but it was still well done and an enjoyable read.

Suspense and romance

Cassidy was introduced in the Cowboy’s Reality Bride as a contestant on the show. In this book Cassidy gets another shot at love. Not as a contestant on a reality show but back in the real reality of her life. When a stalker starts escalating toward Cassidy, Cassidy goes to the police. There she meets Jordan. Jordan has had his own difficulties with love. But between the stalker and a suspicious fire Jordan and Cassidy get thrown together. This is a sweet, clean, Christian romance.

Fire department Police department look after each other

This suspense takes place in Fire Beach, a small town in Illinois. The story weaves together the local departments and together they solve two crimes while two characters learn to give love a chance. The characters are like able and believable. I enjoy the way the author takes a character from a previous book, Cassidy, and gives us what happens next. A great listen for those who enjoy suspense with a budding romance weaved in.

Story line ok..

I loved the story, however, the author should have had someone else read it. The narration was very monotone.

Fire Games

The Men Fire Beach, Book 1 is more of a novella than a novel as it is very short. The author, who also narrates, has a pleasant voice and did a much better job than a lot of the narrators do. It was disappointing that the book was so short because Lorana Hoopes seems to be a very good writer in this genre' and this could have been deeper than it ended up being. I would like to see more from this author, but in a complete novel. Her other books in this series are also very short.

Great Read

Fire Games (The Men of Fire Beach #1) was a great read by Lorana Hoopes. Cassidy is a firefighter who went on a reality dating show. She thought that it would solve her relationship problems, but it just makes everything worse for her. She returns home and finds out that she has a stalker who is starting to get closer and closer to her. Jordan is a detective who is trying to save missing children and doesn’t want anything to do with Cassidy’s stalker. He never thought that the two cases would collide and he will do anything to save her. I really enjoyed Cassidy and Jordan’s story, I can’t wait to read more in this series.

What a start to the series!

One of my favorite sub genres is romantic suspense and this one fits the bill! Cassidy has just finished a stint on reality tv and is having difficulty getting back into swing of things at the firehouse. Not only is it hard to be taken seriously as a female firefighter, but now after her heartbreak in public on the tv show, it has become even harder. When she finds something suspect at one of the fires, the chief does not give her the time of day, but when she takes it to Jordan, a local detective, he finds her discovery a eminent interest. Loranna Hoopes weaves this story of child trafficking, with a slow burning romance building feelings and trust. Narrated by Hoopes, she brings the story to life as it is meant to be read. Her voice is wonderful, full of the tragic emotion of the situation and the passion as it builds. It's a great listen
