When his brother-in-law asks him to investigate a series of escalating threats to the Huron Hotshots team (a group of Forest Service firefighters), Patrick “Trick” McRooney doesn’t expect to make many friends but also never suspects that he himself will become the latest target of violence. When a failed murder attempt also puts his coworker Henrietta “Hank” Rowlins in danger, Trick knows he can’t continue to put the alluring firefighter’s life at risk. But uncovering the saboteur together may risk their hearts as well as their lives.
VERDICT Readers looking forward to uncovering the source of the ongoing threat to the team will be disappointed again in the seventh book of Child’s “Hotshot Heroes” series, after Hotshot Hero on the Edge, and this, in part, creates a reading experience that is ultimately more frustrating than it is satisfying. The first four books in this series were part of Harlequin’s now-defunct Blaze line, and it’s possible the author was much better at writing sexy contemporaries than she is romantic suspense.
