Book description:
She came to escape the past. He came to face it. But neither expected to find danger waiting…
Paige McFarland came to New Freedom to hide and finish her work. A brilliant paramedic with a classified past, she’s spent years developing life-saving technology to protect soldiers—driven by the heartbreaking loss of her fiancé. But when the couple who took her in are run off the road, and their daughter—Paige’s best friend—is threatened, she realizes danger has found her.
Scott Crafton had never planned to return to New Freedom, but he couldn’t turn down the opportunity to prove to the town that he was no longer the hot headed teen he had been. Haunted by the past and the town’s whispers about his connection to a long-ago disappearance, he was done running and took the position as the new fire chief. When his parents are nearly killed in a suspicious crash, his focus is split between protecting his sister, uncovering the truth, and fighting for his second chance.
As a ruthless enemy sets their sights on Paige, Scott finds himself caught between duty, his desires, and the shadows of his past. The closer they get to the truth, the deadlier the game becomes. Will they expose the enemy before Paige vanishes like the girl Scott couldn’t save? Or will history repeat itself—this time, with even higher stakes?
My review:
This is the first book that I have read by this author. She has a story in Justice, one of the 4 Long Hot Summer anthologies, but I have not read it yet.
This is a great debut novel that left me wanting to read more in this series. Great plot. I wasn't sure what was going on for a while, but that just added to the suspense and kept me hooked.
Hann created some great and likable characters, not only in the two main characters Paige and Scott, but in the "supporting cast" of characters.
I was kept guessing to the identity of the bad guys, and was surprised when that aspect of the story was revealed.
The book had a great ending, and the author left a bit of it up in the air for the next book. I enjoyed the story, and it was one that was difficult to put down.
Special thanks to the author for an advance e-book copy of this novel. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
Spotting The Fire releases October 7.
