From the moment she lay eyes on him, Landry Prescott has had a crush on Hidden Springs’ marshal, Jack Tanner. There’s something about him that incites her passion, and makes her want to know him all the more intimately. She’s well aware of the fact that he doesn’t want to settle down. He flits around the town, diving into a woman’s skirts whenever possible. A man like that will never be satisfied with someone like her, but that doesn’t stop her from wanting what she can’t have.When an unexpected attack on her person draws them together, Landry finds it hard to fight the desire roiling within her. Jack seems to be interested in her, too, but she begins to wonder if such a notion is just a figment of her imagination. Determined to get to the bottom of things, she places her trust in his hands. He’s the marshal, after all, so he’ll definitely keep her safe.Sadly, there’s something she never counted on; her attraction for Jack. As things heat up between them, the two soon realize there’s no getting around the fact that they like one another. Granted, they know they should leave well enough alone, but when the heart is wanting, there’s no denying what it wants.As the attacks on her person continue, Landry starts to wonder as to what is going on? Why are people intent on doing her harm? She’s never done anything to anyone. If she’s to succeed in staying alive, she’ll need to play by the attacker’s rules. The question is, how can she do that when she’s not sure as to what the rules are in the first place?I absolutely loved this story. Granted, I love all things romance, but this is one story that will definitely capture your attention once you start reading. A bittersweet western, we’re immersed in Landry’s prim and proper life. She’s a lady, through and through, determined to make something of herself in the world around her. Though her world is turned upside-down when Jack strides into her life, she doesn’t let that fact get her down.Hearts On Fire is a definite must-read. Kristine’s writing style is easy on the eyes, and you don’t get lost at any time while reading. I’m definitely looking forward to more of her work. Thanks for a great read!Please Note: I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
