RESCUE. DANGER. DEVOTION.

THIS TIME, THEIR HEARTS ARE ON THE LINE… 

An original series created by bestselling authors Susan May Warren and Lisa Phillips. 

She came to Alaska searching for her troubled brother…and found herself kidnapped by a dangerous militia. 

Jamie Winters will risk anything to rescue her brother Tristan, even infiltrating the militia’s remote compound. But when she’s abducted, there’s only one man who can save her—Logan Crawford, the elite smokejumper she’s never stopped loving. 

Yes, Logan relocated to Alaska’s Midnight Sun smokejumpers to find Jamie and win back her heart. So when he learns she’s been taken, of course he’ll stop at nothing to bring her home safe. But when he accidentally leads the team into the militia’s deadly trap, he’s in over his head… 

And hunted. 

Now wounded and on the run, Jamie and Logan must fight for their lives in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. But the biggest risk of all is the sparks between them…and the terrible cost of a second chance at love. 

Jumpstart your summer reading with this edge-of-your-seat journey of peril, faith, and finding the courage to love one last time in book one of the bestselling Chasing Fire: Alaska romantic suspense series.

My Review

Burning Hearts is a fast-moving story set in beautiful Alaska. Once, Jamie and Logan were a couple, but that is not true anymore. When Logan learns she is in Alaska to find her brother, he goes there for work as a smoke jumper. He also wants to find her to patch things up. Their path gets more complicated when they try to help Jamie’s brother escape from a militia group. During this time, they realize they still have deep feelings for each other.

Logan wants to protect Jamie, but she’s tough and capable most of the time. The story also introduces a cast of characters who likely will have their own stories in future books. I loved how intense the story was, full of unexpected twists and surprises. Along with the action, we see Logan's journey of finding faith and how it changes him. His friends and coworkers notice these changes, and it affects his relationship with Jamie. Their love feels real and grows stronger through all the challenges they face in Burning Hearts.

This book is a great mix of adventure, mystery, clean romance, and messages about faith. It’s well-paced and keeps you engaged. Burning Hearts is an enjoyable start to a new series I plan to continue reading.
