Ring of Fire by Susan Fox
Have read other works by the author and have enjoyed the books.
This one is about Lark Cantrell and she's the fire chief at Caribou Crossings. Her mother and 10 year old son are used to her leaving in the middle of the night to guide the other firefighters and help put fires out.
I do enjoy firefighter stories as I learn so much from them, interesting topic and I'm not sure why.
Within the first 50 pages I've already learned a few new things: what horn on saddle is for, how CP patients and those with articial legs can do things...
Major Eric Weaver is doing rehab there in British Columbia, on leave from the army when Lark pulls him out of the burning house he was renting. Her son Jayden who has CP and he are paired with horses, it's therapy and I love hearing all about it.
Lark has sworn off men since her husband had walked out after learning their baby had CP but she starts to get hot and bothered about Eric.
She likes how Jayden has another male he can talk to-things she can't relate to...They become lovers over time and then some unexpected things occur that might help or not..
hot steamy sex scenes.  Excerpt from a Holiday in Your Heart is also included at the end. Would enjoy reading more of this town in BC.
I received this book from The Kensington Books in exchange for my honest review

A fun read, one that I hope to return to soon!

DNF. I think I made it to the halfway point. And, I'm purging book 3. So what prompted me to dump the book *and* the series at the halfway point? First off, they're really long, drawn out books. Second...

Ok, the premise of a romance is H meets h, sparks fly, they work out differences, nookie maybe ensues, declarations, the end. This all in whatever masquerades as a plot. All of this hinges on several things. One is that the characters aren't...stupid? This includes not just the H/h, but everyone, especially if the persons are supposed to be intelligent.

So we're in book 2 of a trilogy. Another investigator, this time on a mining asteroid to investigate deaths. Hmmm... Ok, why didn't the company owners shut down the mine and *then* do the investigation? It seems careless and stupid to have people actively working in a place that's proven hazardous. And then there's the investigator himself. He's a former athlete. A famous one. Ahhhh...how is it nobody has recognized him until now? And he has such difficulty maintaining character around the h (who did recognize him). Again, how is it he is supposed to be a great agent?

So our genius agent had managed to make the mining manager suspicious and ended up (along with the h) dumped in the ancient maze that they were keeping secret. Because I read a lot of suspense, and have run into the occasional undercover H, I cannot fathom a H who is supposedly one of the best intelligence agents being so careless as to oh I dunno, not booby trap his door in some way.

I didn't read yesterday, and I didn't want to read any of this book today. I skimmed the third book, enough to know that the h was a dingbat, the H an overgrown child, and the bad guy a scheming douchebag. Oh, and all these females in the series deal with some lovestruck moron who can't seem to understand the meaning of "talk to the hand".

A must read for any MotoGP fan. An essential read for any Rossi fan.
