Rena Koontz's Love's Secret Fire is a page-turning whirlwind of firemen, undercover police officers, journalists, family ties and a myriad of suspects all tied in a string of arsons and a forbidden romance. She writes in a clear and confident voice as she drops hints and clues in this curiously attracting mystery.As a writer, Koontz does a great job with male point of view and dialogue. She leads us through an undercover police operation using Adam Michaels who poses as a fire inspector. He's a smart, cocky, intuitive cop with a touch of cowboy who would turn any woman's head. Valerie Daniels is a suspicious, quick-witted journalist who is too busy with her own troubles to be one of those women. They cross paths in a number of random scenes until they find themselves head to head.-R.T. Wolfe, Author of Black Creek Burning, 2012
