In Mystery, Montana, a white-hot hunk fights fire with passion...
Though he's ridiculously handsome and notoriously funny, it's Colter Fitzgerald's firefighting skills that are most needed by Whitney Barstow--at first. She's been traumatized by fire and terrified that the arsonist sabotaging Dunrovin Ranch is a madman from her past. She's also fearful that harm will come to any man she loves, so denies her attraction to Colter. Then why is she jealous of another woman's hands all over him? On the eve of the ranch's Christmas festival, Colter wants no one but Whitney, body, soul and darkest secrets. But there's still an arsonist to stop...before what makes the season bright is Dunrovin in flames.
Review
In the third
Mystery Christmas book, Whitney Barstow works at a popular guest ranch in the
wilds of Montana. Though she loves animals, she does her best to avoid the
horses and the barn at Dunrovin Ranch. A while back, she nearly died in a barn
fire and the memories still color her life, her choices, and her everyday
thoughts.
Colter
Fitzgerald is a fireman but he’s spending a lot of time at his family’s ranch
to help prepare for Yule Night, an annual party his parents always throw for
the community. He’s attracted to Whitney, but she can’t stand him. She has
secrets, and he’s determined to uncover them. Once they finally become friends
and start opening up to each other, little accidents start happening around the
ranch. Some of the clues point to Whitney, and given her mysterious past,
Colter wonders if he’s fallen in love with an arsonist.
This is a
really good book. Whitney has been through a lot in her life and it’s made her
a strong, careful person. Colter is a ladies’ man, but he’s seriously
interested in Whitney. Sparks sizzle every time they’re around one another, but
her fear of trusting someone and falling in love kept pushing them apart. After
all, her ex is looking for her, and she may have to start running again.
Whitney’s
past wasn’t fully explained. She’s on the run from her ex-husband who tried to
kill her, but I don’t understand why she married him in the first place since
he was already stalking and scaring her when she was a teenager. I was just
confused with her backstory.
Anyway, I
liked Whitney and sympathized with what she’s gone through. Colter is great and
very family oriented. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
4 Stars
