About the Book
When western Alaska erupts in a devastating fire, the elite firefighting crew of the Jude County Smokejumpers is called in to save the day. They’ll do anything to stop the fire, including fighting alongside a crew of local prisoners.
The last thing they expect is a jailbreak and when the prisoners disappear into the forest with one of their own, they’ll have to fight not only the fire, but for the freedom of their friends…during the Summer of the Burning Sky.

Book 1: Light My Fire
Former bad-boy Tucker Newman has learned his lesson—as the temporary team leader of the Jude County Smokejumpers, he’s all about following the rules to keep his team safe. Especially when he has to partner with a group of local low-security prisoners to knock down the raging fire. But the prisoners are not who they seem, and when they stage a break, kidnapping one of his teammates, he’ll have to break every rule he knows to get her back.
US Marshal Stevie Mills knows that to get the job done, she must work alone. She simply can’t risk another person getting hurt because of her. When she discovers that a wanted fugitive accused of rape and murder has not only been set free to fight the fire—but is now on the lam with a hostage-- the last thing she needs is a zealous smokejumper getting in the way of her pursuit.
Whether they like it or not, Tucker and Stevie must join forces if they hope to save lives, and in the meantime, they just might discover a new definition for the word teamwork, in book 1 of the Summer of the Burning Sky.
My Thoughts
Susan May Warren is one of my favorite authors, so I was extremely excited when I saw that she was releasing three new novellas this summer! The first story, Light My Fire, was great. It's a quick and fast-paced read that was hard to put down. Warren packs a lot into this novella. There's a ton of action, intrigue, and anxiety inducing suspense, along with a nice bit of romance too.
The Jude County Smokejumpers are in Alaska helping put out a fire. With the blaze spreading fast and no other teams available to send their aid, prisoners from the local jail are sent in to help put the flames out. Things are going fine, that is until the prisoners escape and take one of the smokejumpers hostage.
I really enjoyed revisiting the Jude County Smokejumpers. Even though this new series is connected with Warren's Montana Fire series, it stands alone just fine. I highly recommend it for anyone who's looking for a good, clean romantic suspense. I can't wait for the next installment.
