All Fired Up by Carmine Valentine follows Marianne, who must complete a dare that, as she will soon discover, involves secrets, threats, mysterious events, and falling for a man. Marianne just moved into a mansion in her hometown on Orcas Island to fulfill a dare and spend time with her sister. Shortly after, she begins to experience bizarre happenings, such as finding a note tied to her gate or having awkward interactions with a good-looking man named Jack. While trying to reach her sister and deal with another threatening note, Marianne learns that the people on the island don't want her there, as there's a long-standing feud between two families and hers over some stolen valuable jewels. Now, Marianne must team up with Jack, whom she is slowly falling for, to uncover a secret kept by both of their grandfathers and discover who is behind the threatening notes warning that if she doesn't give them what they want, they will harm a family member.
All Fired Up by Carmine Valentine is the first book in The Barefoot by Moonlight Series, featuring romance, mystery, suspense, old rivalry, and small-town intrigue on a Pacific Northwest island. It's the kind of book that, once you start reading, you can't stop, thanks to the clever plot that draws you deeper and deeper into a love story where secrets from the past surface and turn the lives of those involved upside down. Filled with unexpected twists, a growing romance, family secrets, and a perpetual threat of danger, this book will appeal to mystery, suspense, and romance readers alike. I hope the next book in the series will be as immersive as this one.
