Fans of this series BEWARE.....The team is back and better than ever.....When I reviewed the series opener written by LE Harner was it just two weeks ago.???...Wow does time fly....(but I digress) I knew this was going to be another great ride.Laura Harner opened the series with a strong story and introduction with FIRESTORM (Fighting Fire #1) with a bang and brought the four authors to  Flagstaff Arizona this time.  I must mention that each author writes their own story line and series, and  characters are a stand alone set, but to savor the entire craft , you should read them in order  rotating them,  as they bring four different stories into one.It looks like Mountain Shadows Campground that Scott sorta inherited in Laura's book will play a large part of this story. Now, let me get to Lee Brazil's wonderful entry.Lee I must say, any reader who read your Pulp 2013 knows the name Dr Cannon Malloy.When I opened this story,  I screamed out loud and clear a "Yessss" when I saw you brought him here for another chance. This suave, debonair doctor from Atlanta had been handed `the bad life card' in Pulp 2013, being married, loving Chance, coming out and not knowing where he belonged. He is lost and deserves more.Cannon is a mess inside and feels the best decision he made is take some time off, and take a teaching job in Arizona far away from the memories and fear back in Atlanta.If he'd gone back into an operating room, death would have been inevitable. The surgeon's hands that had saved lives, the hands that had crafted a career he'd sacrificed genuine love for, had failed him.So he ran. And he was going to keep right on running.(Edited quote for amazon)Enter Dagfinnr Lorensson, Finn for short a professor of Literature at the same school (and unbeknownst to Cannon a would be neighbor at Mountain Shadows, also  renting a cabin on the grounds.) Finn had spoken to Cannon months before  and was so enchanted by the call was waiting for him to arrive) Cannon has come to Arizona with his prized 1966 Shelby and finds this beautiful prize buried in snow in the school parking lot. Finn steps in,  introduces himself and is sorely disappointed Cannon doesn't seem to recollect they spoke. He offers Cannon a ride to a local hotel  to get rooms,as they will not be able to get back to the campgrounds that night.Holy Moly, the attraction is instantaneous.....  and the meeting is delightful.  This was just what we needed Lee, and you have done all this in less than 60 pages,  so much to think about and whet our appetites....Who and what is Rowen Smithe and will Siggy get Jillian????Cannot waiiit till February 15th and the next entry....Step up Author #3Review by Gloria Lakritz
