Review: Fireline (Chasing Fire: Montana #5) by Kate Angelo

About the Book
SECRETS. BETRAYAL. SACRIFICE.
THIS TIME, THEY'RE NOT JUST FIGHTING FIRE.

An original series created by bestselling authors Susan May Warren and Lisa Phillips.

She was born to be a smokejumper…


As the niece of a legendary smokejumper, Nova Burns is tough as nails. When their crew chief Tucker Newman breaks his leg, Nova longs for the opportunity to helm the team, ready to take risks and prove herself. But there's one risk she refuses to take—falling in love.

He’s living a lie…

Undercover Homeland agent Booth Wilder is seeking redemption. Scarred by a past explosion that took the life of his partner, Booth is hunting a rogue CIA faction known as the Brotherhood. Now, he's determined to uncover their secrets and find a hidden nuclear weapon that could turn the world to ash.

Only problem…summer sparks have ignited between Booth and Nova. Nova is torn between her future as the smokejumping chief, her growing attraction to Booth, and the belief that he’s hiding something from her. Of course he is…Booth is hiding his true goal—unrooting the Brotherhood and returning to his life as a Homeland Security agent, a life that he’s not sure he really wants.

Then the wildfire threatens the home of the Jude County Firefighting team, and Nova doesn’t care what secrets he might be hiding—she needs everyone to save the town. But when the Brotherhood discovers Booth and his goals, the fight becomes personal. Now, Booth must choose between accomplishing his mission and saving the woman he’s come to love.

It’s a dangerous game of loyalty, betrayal, and pulse-pounding action in the fifth installment of the Chasing Fire: Montana series.


MY THOUGHTS

Exciting and action-packed right from the start, I could hardly catch my breath. I think this might be my favorite of the series! There was mounting danger, not only from the raging wildfire but also from a killer targeting Booth. Talk about a nail biter!

I really liked Booth and Nova. Booth was a bit of a mystery, but I loved the slow reveal of getting to know him and learning his secrets. Nova was strong-willed, determined, and fierce! I appreciated how dedicated she was to her job and saving people.

I was so glad there was some progress made with the mystery that’s surrounded these characters from the very first book. I’m very eager to get my hands on a copy of the next one, the final book in the series. This was the first book I’ve read by Kate Angelo, but it won’t be my last!
