#3 IN THE STORY OF THE HOT SHOT WILDLAND FIREFIGHTERS

Aiden "Spider" Rodas is the third wildland firefighter to have a story. Yup! she used him as a stud to sire her child. Great line for the "9 months later" series. Becca Thomas, like so many misguided women, puts her desire to have a child on hold, to further her career. Now she is getting desperate. She cruises the night clubs and bars looking for a man who wants no commitments to a family life. That way the baby will be all hers. Like so many, she forgets that a child needs a father for his own identity. Spider is another dedicated wildland firefighter, and is a swinging bachelor, just about 30 years old. Becca is 38. Aiden has a problem with the thought of fatherhood as his own father left him and his mother. But we learn of a problem with Abulita. Jackson "Golden" Garrett, and Logan "Tin Man" McCall and many others from the Silver Bend firefighting team are called into Montana to help with a sleeper fire. It seems like only Becca is slowly becoming aware of the dangers of this fire. She is training a gal called Julia who doesn't want to go out into the field. There are more mangement problems. And "Roadhouse" shows up to agravate Spider. All Roadhouse wants is to get to know Spider. Well, I never did find out what Sirus's problem was but it seems like NIFC is not sending in the help that the Montana teams needed. Only after some close calls with the burn overs. [I will certainly add these wonderful men to my prayers - meaning the real ones.] Great story as Spider slowly adjusts to the idea of becoming a father - falling in love with an older woman - and takes on the responsibilities of heading up the Hot Shot team in a dangerous fire. Don't forget to injoy the inclusion of bits of more story of Cole "Chainsaw" Hudson -- his story is coming up next in March of 2006. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - great set of stories - definitely keepers.

deep romantic thriller

Nearing forty, National Interagency Fire Center Fire Behavior Analyst Becca Thomas decided to become pregnant though she is not married. She researched whom she thought would provide good genes and decided that Hot Shot Aiden Rodas is perfect. She seduced the hotshot and became pregnant, but hid her delicate condition from the man she has since avoided like he has the plague. However, her success at eluding Aidan ends when they are forced to work a dangerous Montana blaze together. He takes one look at her belly, does some quick mental calculations and profiling Becca as someone who would not sleep around, he concludes she is carrying his baby. He demands a major role in raising their child expected to be born in under two months. The protagonists are an intriguing duo as Becca has no explanation that is acceptable by the responsible playboy who impregnated her without his knowledge. His demands cramp her thoughts more than the fetus she carries. However, in spite of a fabulous pairing of a likable couple, the star of Melinda Curtis' deep thriller is the fires as she interweaves into the plot the danger and the modern techniques in battling an inferno.
