Chasing Fire by Pamela ClareMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Three and a half stars.
Not recommended unless you have read the Colorado High Country/ I-Team novels.
Scarlett Springs is on alert, the hot dry weather in Colorado combined with the high winds have increased the chances of a devastating forest fire which could wipe out the small town. When a camper lets an illegal campfire get out of control it's up to the brave men and women of Scarlett Springs to save the people and animals they love.
This is like a Christmas ensemble special, every couple you've previously read about features in this novel, most of them are pregnant or have just had babies, each family faces danger. Whilst I enjoyed the novel, much of the first third seemed to be introducing character after character and giving a precis of the book in which they featured with a quick catch-up on events since then - it would be unintelligible f0r a new reader (in my opinion).
But we finally find something out about Bear's background!
As with the other Pamela Clare novels there is plenty of excitement, plenty of thrills, a small town with its own billionaires, gorgeous firemen, a climbing wall, a local brewery and Chicago deep pan pizza.
This feels like the end of the Colorado High Country series, everyone is married and producing children, together they fight the wildfires that could destroy the town.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
