Firestorm by Lisa Tawn Bergren

This was a fairly good romantic novel.  Usually I go for action/mystery more than romance, but this was entertaining.This is Book 6 in the series and follows the story of Reyne Oldre who was introduced in an earlier book.  Reyne is a smoke jumper, and had led a team of firefighters into an inferno that claimed lives, and her confidence as well.  Now, disabled by her lack of confidence and total fear, she conducts research for other firefighters, and stays away from the blazes.  But then she meets smoke jumper Logan McCabe, and suddenly she is back into the heat of things...with Logan, that is!  As things heat up between them, Reyne must face the emotional trauma of her past and confront the fear that has driven her confidence into the ashes.  In doing so, she must also come to terms with the fierce attraction brewing between her and Logan. 
This was a good read, easy going but filled with enough mystery to keep me interested.  I was disappointed in the speed of the relationship development because it did not seem very realistic.  Other than that, the book was good. This would be a great book to take on a plane or vacation.  It is interesting enough to keep you entertained, but pleasant enough to leave you feeling good at the end. Plus, it is a fast read.
I was pleasantly surprised at the end to find another short book included called "Sandcastles".  It was similar to Firestorm but followed another character.  Another fast, easy flowing read.  This author has a great writing style.
Overall, if you like romance books, you will enjoy this!
This book was a complimentary review copy received from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing Group.
