Being a beta reader is an honor, but when asked to beta a book in which you become totally consumed from the beginning, is when you realize the author has written something truly amazing. I fell into A Firefighter's Flame hard and fast. I submerged myself into the protagonist's story, enabling every emotion Lennox felt.Daily life is a struggle for everyone, but when you go through life with the hardships that Lennox faces, it becomes extremely difficult. This novel is a journey of Lennox detailed in a series of flashbacks from her teenage years to the present. At an early age, she meets Dean, and her life instantly changes. Their relationship is rocky, and full of trials, as with many teens. Throughout the course of the novel, we see Lennox challenged with struggles that are not easily swept away. It is when her past collides with her present that we take note of her resiliency.Ms. Hart has written a wonderful, true-to-life novel. Although the themes are considered dark, she sheds light into the world of a character who I am positive we can all relate to in some way.Be prepared for an intense ride as you read this novel. It is full of emotion and will hold you until the last word. I cannot wait to read what Ms. Hart has planned next.
