A sweet romance

Yes, I know the author. That is one of the reasons I picked up this book, but I actually enjoyed the storyline. I think it's a great debut book for Trisha Milburn. The characters had a depth to them and a history that really helped to bring them to life. The arson mystery only adds to the story and the conflict between the characters and their families is great. She had me cheering for them to get their happily ever after by the end of the story. I love firefighters and have several in my family. I feel this was so cool to have debuted on Sep 11, and it honors the men and women who fight to protect us on a daily basis. It was sweet and romantic and intriguing to read. Well anyways, I enjoyed it! Good luck in all you do Trish!

terrific second chance at love romantic investigative thriller

In Horizon Beach, Florida her father and four brothers were firefighters so Miranda "Randi" Cooke gravitated to the same vocation. However, her first time on the job proves her inept and leaves her dad wheelchair bound. Heartbroken, Randi fled her hometown especially as her family blames her for her father's accident; her lover failed to defend her. Zac Parker was also a Horizon Beach firefighter, but he was falsely accused and convicted of arson; he spent time in prison. He also feels guilt for letting down his beloved Randi. Three years since the incident that sent her fleeing town, Randi comes home. Although Zac distrusts everyone, he vows to be there for the woman he still loves as he feels guilty for letting her down. She investigates a fire that looks like arson only to find herself in danger with Zac keeping his pledge to risk his life to keep her safe. A strong ensemble cast (mostly her family) enhances a terrific second chance at love romantic investigative thriller. Fans will enjoy Randi's return home as she and Zac are filled with regret and guilt; their remorse supersedes their love. Fans will enjoy this engaging tale of first responders in love but with a past still haunting their present seemingly leaving no future. Harriet Klausner
