FLASH OF FIRE is book number 4 in M. L.
Buchman's Firehawks
series. The Firehawk
series focuses on the badass firefighters of Mount Hood
Aviation. There are loose ties to Buchman's Night
Stalkers series about a Special Operations Aviation
Regiment, the best of the best in helicopter aviation
fliers. Each of Buchman's books can be savored as a
stand-alone with a single couple getting their Happily Ever
After, but some of the most enjoyable parts for me are
reading about the characters that I already know and love
from previous books in both series.
Robin Harrow is a headstrong former National Guard
helicopter pilot. After several Afghan tours, she's not
ready to squish herself back into the constricting box of
civilian life as a waitress at her family's truck stop.
She signs up for a one year stint with Mount Hood Aviation,
not expecting to take over as the lead pilot for one of the
most elite firefighting teams in the world while their
normal lead in the cockpit is grounded by maternity leave.
Robin is a prickly loner, and I adore her strength of
character. Mickey Hamilton is a hotshot MHA pilot who
loves flying and firefighting, and has been a big ladies
man, playing the huge field that is open to him as a hot
guy in a macho job. But when Robin Harrow shows up on his
runway, Mickey quickly figures out where his attentions now
lie. I love how Mickey slowly slides into love, as he
coaxes Robin into opening up and reaching her full
potential.
One of the best things in FLASH OF FIRE is watching
Robin grow. She's been a loner for much of her life.
She\'s now figuring out that having close girlfriends is
rewarding, and comes to the realization that maybe even
she, a Harrow woman, can find love: a deep and abiding
love that fulfills the heart's desire she previously
couldn't allow herself to acknowledge. Robin fights hard
against her fate, but Mickey convinces her that they are
better as individuals when they are together as a team.
The elite firefighters of MHA can "innocently" fly into
places even the CIA can't, and their undercover role for
the government brings the knuckle biting panache of the
military angle into play. As the fire season progresses,
the tension level in the book just keeps jumping. We start
out with the high stakes of massive wildfires in the U.S.
and progress up to the tension-filled job facing Robin,
Mickey, and their team as their assignment pits them not
only against a massive wildfire in North Korea but against
the PRRK government as well. As always, Buchman does a
superb job of balancing technical details and the nitty
gritty of fighting fire with the more tender emotions
growing between our couple. FLASH OF FIRE makes my pulse
pound doubly, from the danger and intrigue as well as from
the sexy escapades. Once again, Buchman delivers a
masterpiece of military action and romance.
Fourth in M.L. Buchman's critically acclaimed
Firehawks romantic suspense
series
The elite firefighters of
Mount Hood Aviation fly into places even the CIA can't
penetrate.
FROM WILDFIRE TO GUNFIRE When
former Army National Guard helicopter pilot Robin Harrow
joins Mount Hood Aviation, she expect to fight fires for
only one season. Instead, she finds herself getting deeply
entrenched with one of the most elite firefighting teams in
the world. And that's before they send her on a mission
that's seriously top secret, with a flight partner who's
seriously hot.
Mickey Hamilton loves flying,
firefighting, and women, in that order. But when Robin
Harrow roars across his radar, his priorities go out the
window. On a critical mission deep in enemy territory, their
past burns away and they must face each other. Their one
shot at a future demands that they first survive the
present-together.
