Publisher's summary

After a brush with death due to equipment failure, smokejumper Alexia Allen is ordered to take time off while the incident is under investigation. She makes a last-minute decision to recuperate at her mother's home and attend her high school reunion. Yet trouble seems to be following her, and within hours of arriving home she is confronted with murder, arson, and a handsome detective. But the conflicts ahead are nothing compared to the ghosts of her past. As she struggles to accept and forgive her family's past, she must also decide if the secret she's been guarding for the last ten years must finally come to light.

Even So-so Narrator didn’t Damage this Story

Action packed twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat, despite the robotic narration.

Awful cover!!

The cover is not at all a good depiction of the story. In fact it’s awful!
The h has red hair-green eyes, so it can’t be her and it has no meaning otherwise that I can see. I have passed over this book because of the cover quite often until I read the summary and thought I’d give it a try.
The story was a good one and kept me guessing.

Creative Story, looking forward to the next one!

Enjoyed this book quite a bit, and the characters as well! The narrator was okay, but a bit robotic at times! Other than that, she did well! I’ve enjoyed many of this authors books, and am thankful for the fact that they’re not full of unnecessary language and rambling senseless sex scenes! Which in my opinion COMPLETELY DETRACT from all stories, and show whether an author has quality in their writing or not! Thank you & Bravo Lynette Eason for another well written Godly and entertaining book! 💜🙏🛐

Enjoyable

This was quite the enjoyable listen. I liked the book and the narrator. I liked the characters and plot as well. It was a nice and easy listen. From the delightful voice that brought the characters to life and the twists and turns in the plot that captured my attention and kept me listening. I would highly recommend this book to those who enjoy Christian romance with a little suspense.

Best Drama-Mystery

Wow this book has a little of everything. Faith, Love, Mystery, Drama and great characterization. My first book by this author. I was constantly on edge then swept away with all the turns and twist then evening praying for the outcome. Can't wait to listen to the next two in this series.. Nnarrator is great.

Douglas Sabattis

I liked the story of these friends helping each other out. Alexia learning to be tough a firefighter. They really tried hard to pin the fires and murder on how. But Hunter believes her even with all evidence points to her.

exciting

I could not put this book down. I was guess from the beginning on. I even thought maybe Hunter was in on the plot. I like the way it ends. I'm excited to read the next one in the series. this authentic is quickly becoming one of my favorite.

I totally enjoyed this book

I really like the way the author put the references to prayer in and asking God for help and reading the word of God the way she did the whole scenario like it's real life I believe that this story could be based on a true life scenario.
