One night. No regrets. And no promises. As the resident bad girl and bartender of Strong, California, Mimi has earned every inch of her reputation. Tattoos, motorcycles and dancing on the bar—Mimi’s all in. She’s fun and she’s tough, a hot sex-on-the-pool-table woman—not a sunset-and-kisses sweetheart. Until her wedding hook-up turns her smoke jumper into a man on a sensual mission… and her heart into freefall even as her own past threatens to catch up with her.SWEET BURN is the fifth book in the Smoke Jumper series.

Of course no one said that falling in love would be all sunshine and rainbows, for these two it was more like dodging bullets and narrowly escaping becoming casualties of a wildfire.Despite all the pitfalls and finding themselves more than once butting heads Mack and Mimi are a perfect example of two strong people learning that what the heart wants is hard to deny.With every book in the Smoke Jumper series the threat of danger to the firefighting team members is always a very real part of the story,in Sweet Burn the shocking death of a beloved character brought home that danger full force!Fact and fiction blend but as always when the last page is read you feel like the characters in Strong California are real, almost like members of your own community or family.[EArc from Netgalley in exchange for honest review]
