"Into the Fire", by Irene Hannon



Undaunted Courage book #1

A romantic suspense novel

This first experience reading Ms. Hannon was provided through the first reviewer program and I am glad they gave me the chance to read this wonderful story.

Arson investigator and a former smokejumper Bri Tucker, knows all about fires. When she inherits unfinished business from her predecessor she joins forces with ATF Special Agent Marc Davis to track down a serial arsonist and murderer who will stop at nothing to carry out is plan.

It took a little while to get in the swing of things, we have a lot of key players to get to know but once all of them are placed the story grabs you and doesn’t let go. This clean tale is filled with excitement and nerve-raking scenes right up to the very end. I was pinned down enjoying every word. The emotions run high especially when it comes to the arsonist and what he is up to. The investigators suspicion on who this person may be and how they can stop him is so varied I was guessing trying to picture who it might be. Curiosity and anxiety took hold till the surprise was revealed at the end. It was a big puzzle from the get-go and a very well written one. Being a romantic story we gradually have Bri and Marc developing a relationship and a wonderful ending comes out of it.

This plot is well construction and excellently written. The simple and clear narration and vividly said dialogue by well-tuned characters is a reason I can say this story is one I enjoyed immensely.
