Reviewed by Ellen Hogan for Readers' Favorite

Lora Spade was a fire fighter. Her fiance died in a fire. Lora suspected a serial arsonist is at work. She contacted the FBI's elite Serial Services Division asking for help in finding the culprit. The first day Kenton Lake was in town he was pulled out of a fire by Lora. The two needed to work together to discover what was going on. Kenton was sure that a person with fire fighting experience or a cop was behind the fire. Lora refused to believe it's anyone she knows and was heartbroken when her house was one of the targets. Both were determined not to give up until they found the arsonist/murderer.

This book contains a lot of information concerning the inner workings of the fire department and how a fire can be set. A serial arsonist has to be precise and have knowledge of what he is doing and that was all brought out in the story. Lora's character is very aggressive, not only in her work but also in her home life. Kenton is a good foil for her but sometimes his character seemed to go over the top. The story was well written and there were no gaps or really slow spots in it. The minor characters in this were not that memorable to me. It was all Lora and Kenton from page one. I liked the cover on this one and thought it went well with the plot of the book.
