HIDDEN FIRE, the third book in the Firefighters of Station Five series by Jo Davis, gives readers a heated look behind the scenes of the firehouse and the courthouse with firefighter Julian Salvatore and defense attorney Grace McKenna. Grace McKenna has avoided the advances of firefighter Julian Salvatore because of his reputation as a shameless ladies man. She doesn't understand Julian's extreme, almost desperate, concern over her latest client when he sees them together. Julian works with Grace's brother-in-law, Howard, and while she's hesitantly interested in spending more time with him, she finds herself incredibly attracted to his irresistible charm. But there are layers to Julian that he's kept hidden until Grace is drawn into his violent past. Julian has been doggedly pursuing Grace for some time and can scarcely believe when she agrees to a date. What Grace doesn't know is that his feelings for her run much deeper than simple lust. Julian has issues from his youth that he would just as soon keep to himself, but threats to Grace require their revelation. Recent, disturbingly violent, kidnappings and murders appear to be connected to Grace's new client and the terror from Julian's past. It isn't long before Julian and Grace, together with many of his co-workers, are caught up in a shocking investigation. HIDDEN FIRE is a wonderful example of romantic suspense. Readers will find themselves cheering for the relationship between Julian and Grace to work. Secondary characters from previous books in this series are smoothly and successfully woven into the story and it was extremely satisfying to catch up with them. Jo Davis has many fans of her work, this series in particular, and they will be thrilled to know that the next book in the series, LINE OF FIRE, will be releasing in May, 2010.

Jo Davis has once again delivered what she prosmises, a hot story about a tortured hero, a woman worthy of his love and a suspenseful plot to keep you turning the pages. Julian Salvatore made his first appearance in TRIAL BY FIRE. He was the hounddog crew member who seemed to be a player. In UNDER FIRE, we learn that Julian wants to belong to the team but has issues he's not ready to deal with. Now, in HIDDEN FIRE, the thrid book in her Fire Station Five books, just as Julian starts to find a solid relationship with Grace McKenna, his past comes into play, and not in a nice way. Davis made us curious about Julian in the two previous books and delivers his story with every ounce of emotion she promised. If you haven't checked out her writing, be sure to buy all the Fire Station Five books...with more to come!
Kept me spellbound from cover to cover. Be sure and get Jo Davis other books. She has a way to describe action and activities You feel you are there. Jo Davis top writer of Mystery & Romance.
This has been a fun series since the first book, but I really enjoyed this installment. Julian and Grace's interactions started in the earlier books and it was a natural progression for them to have their own book. I especially liked that it was the hero, not the heroine, that knew what he wanted from their relationship first. In a lot of books, it's the female lead who spends the book chasing after the hero trying to prove they should be together. I also enjoyed catching up on the secondary characters, although I admit I was hoping to see more of Sean this time around. Maybe next time...I am definitely looking forward to the fourth book in this series.
Smokin'!!!!! This is another really good book in Jo Davis's "Firefighters" series. I would recommend this to anyone looking for suspense and some downright steamy one on one with their own personal firefighter!!!!! :) Can't wait for the next in the series to be released.
