"In 1988 firefighters from across America gathered at Yellowstone National Park. to fight the worst forest fire in years. Claire needs to get away from Houston and the memory of losing her partner in a fire. Chopper pilot Chris Deering is trying to escape from his past in flying fire and in drinking. Through the intense story of battling this historic blaze the two develop a relationship that may be the salvation of both. No guaranttees from the author. The day to day struggles and fears fuel this story just as the undergrowth and dead trees that tourist based policy left throughout the area of Yellowstone fuel the monster fire."

    " it was a good story but it got a little boring with the actual updates of the fires where they were buring etc. "

    " This was a well written story about the fires in Yellowstone Park in the 1980s. The author also throws in a romance on the side- it makes for entertaining and at times- edge of your seat, heart pounding action. I would recommend this, especially those who like books that combine writer's creative liberties and historical events. "

    " I thought it was a good read. I thought the author's choice of words in some instances was odd - like she was trying to sound like she knew how to use big words without really knowing how to use them properly. I will continue reading the series to see if her writing matures with the story. "

    " This book was ok. I enjoyed the history, but would have liked more sbout the Nez Pierce. The love triangle for me was a part of the story I could have done withot. "

    " A Free Friday nook book This is an entertaining enough tale of the summer of 1988 when firefighters struggled to contain fires that were ravaging Yellowstone. In this novel, there are three main characters--Clare Chance, firefighter from Houston along with her daughter later in the story,Steve Haywood, the forest ranger,and last of all, Deering, the heliocopter pilot. The most exciting part, I think, is where Steve, Clare, and a bunch of rookie firefighters are trapped by the fire and have to lie down on the ground under a thin fireproof covering while the fire blazes on top of them. If there hadn't been the obligatory who's going to get the girl--whom we read twice early in the book has small breasts, I would have given it four stars. "

    " An ok read. My wife and I visited Yellowstone in 1999 and the damage done by the '88 fires was still very evident. It was a great vacation and I read this because it was set in Yellowstone. Standard plot and characters. Nothing stood out to me. "

    " This book was interesting in the fact I learned a lot about fighting wild fires out west. The story line was OK, but for me there was too much fire fighting details so I'd get bogged down. "

    " I was kind of fascinated by the story of the fire itself and less interested in the characters. It was a weird book but I'd probably read more of the series. "

    " Action, romance, and natural disaster, this story is well-written. I just personally had trouble getting into it. I don't think I related well to the heroine. But I persevered and finished, and liked it! I even learned about an event in history that happened when I was too young to pay attention. "

    " This is a great historical story which melds fictional characters with real facts of the fires that raged through Yellowstone Park in 1988. It has romance, drama, and suspense. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. "

    " I really liked this. It was well written for a Kindle book (editing done well). Had enough emotion to put you in the situation but not so much that you would be irritated with any of the characters for long. THe characters felt REAL to me. It kept me wanting to read more and more. :) "
