Carly Thomas is a fire expert with the Mount Hood Aviation
elite firefighters. As a third generation forest fire
specialist, she knows how to read burn patterns. She lost
her father and a fiancé to the flames so she has shut down
emotionally until the day a former smokejumper walks into
her life and forces her to face PURE HEAT.
Steve "Merks" Mercer can no longer fight fires, with a
banged up knee but with his knowledge of fires as a spotter
and drone specialist he can still work in the field he
loves. Assigned in a Firehawk with Carly, they take to the
skies not expecting much. They find themselves fighting the
worst wildfire in decades, a terrorist threat hidden in the
wilderness of Oregon ... and the sizzle that is sparking
between them that is the biggest threat of all. This may be
a wildfire that neither of them will survive ... at least
not
as they were.
PURE HEAT literally has you jumping into many different
types of flames at the same time. You will be caught up in
wildfires and move on to a love that sneaks up on two
unsuspecting firefighters. Author M.L. Buchman may be what
could be considered a bit heavy with the technical details
but the action and romance in this book will keep you glued
to the pages. I know a lot more about helicopters and
wildfires than I ever thought I would from one book. The
depth Buchman puts into the portrayal of Carly and Steve,
as well as the others in this book, is believable and makes
you feel as if you know them; their pains; their hopes and
even their fears. I enjoyed watching as Carly slowly came
to life as she puts closure to the past and lets Steve in.
Steve begins to accept the new phase in his life and
welcomes a beautiful partner who comes to mean so much more
than he would have guessed. If you are looking for an
action packed romantic read setting in a world filled with
danger PURE HEAT is one you will want to pick up.
When it comes to Charlene, Steve's defenses are
about to go up in flames
The daredevil
smokejumpers of Mount Hood Aviation do more than fight
wildfires. Led by retired SOAR pilots, they fly elite
operatives into places that even the CIA can't penetrate-
and
Charlene Thomas and Steve Mercer are the best in the
business.
While battling the summer's toughest
fire,
the pair uncover a terrorist camp in the remote forest of
Oregon. Using specially equipped helicopters and a
stealth-modified drone, they take on the camp. The
mission-and the flames-are combatible. For Steve, it's
the
heat from Charlene that might just scorch him to the
core.
