This book is the first book for Pulp Fiction 2014. The full series will be twenty books alternating between four authors - Laura Harner (who has this first book), Havan Fellows, Lee Brazil and Tom Webb.So yes, it does feel like it is short, almost like it is the first chapters of a longer book with the end missing. Yes, it does end abruptly. Yes, the ending is a shocker - totally unexpected!There's a line in this book "The kiss felt like a promise." The same can be said for Firestorm, it's such a tantalising teaser of things to come and is a great start to the series.Scott has been badly injured in a fire and his emergency contact details hadn't been updated since college so the hospital called his old boyfriend Robby whom he hadn't seen or heard from in years. The story starts as Robby drives Scott home from hospital after his months of rehabilitation. Home is a 'camp ground' that Scott has bought cheaply from the parent's of the colleague he rescued from the fire in which he was seriously burned. Scott is a hero!Scott is in for a surprise when he sees his 'camp ground'. It is a lot more than he expected, with a huge home for Scott and a number of other homes on the site. There are a few permanent residents as well as the seasonal visitors. In this story, trouble is caused by one of the residents which gives insight into the type of person Scott is as he tries to save the day - kind, selfless, an all-round nice guy.Robby has found work in the area (he's a ranger) but intends to live in town. He doesn't plan on rekindling his relationship with Scott. But this doesn't stop them from having some sizzling encounters. I loved the way Scott's scarred injuries, although causing him pain, didn't cause him to shy away from exposing his burned areas and taking the lead in approaching Robby.Oh, but that ending! What's going on? I need to know more! When is the next book coming out?!My tip - if you don't like cliffhangers, wait at least for the first round to be released. If you like anticipation then go for it now!
