BLUE SMOKE by Nora Roberts

This i s another re-read for me, my copy is a little water damaged but still legible.

This is a story about two souls that were connected by fire, one in the path of destruction and the other in the path of righteousness.

Reena Hale was only eleven years old when the restaurant that her mother and father owned was caught on fire. Being the one to see the fire she was also able to save three lives in the process. Reena's family bonded even more that night when another family was torn apart.

The Pastorelli's life was destroyed that night when he got it in his head to burn down Reena's family restaurant. This was due to an altercation that took place between Reena's father and Mr. Pastorelli after is son, Joey, attacked Reena at school.

After the fire Reena and Joey's life was never the same again.

Years later, after having fire claim people that she loves, Reena has learned to close herself off and learned not to let anybody get close. She fears that if they get to close that fire will claim the one's she loves, that is why ever since her first fire, Reena wanted to be an arson police; and she got her wish.

Bo Goodnight, saw Reena at a party when she was in college and it was love at first sight. Unfortunately, he never met her until she moved in next door to him and he couldn't believe his luck at finding dream girl after all these years.

Now when he finally got his dream girl, Reena is plagued by threatening phone calls and firery messages. Now he must wait hopelessly as he watches his dream girl run in fires to find clues that will point to who exactly is her fire starting stalker. If she fails she and everyone that she cares about will die, and one even did. (I cried when I read that part)

Nora Roberts have done it again, she had me so enthralled with her characters, it's like they are my close personal friend.. When they got angry, I was angry; when they were sad, I was sad; when they were on the verse of losing there mind I was right there with them.

Reena came from a big Italian family and her generation was making it even bigger with her two sisters and a brother with multiple children between them, it was hard for me to keep up with them. Nora wrote her family in such a nice light that I want to go out and adopt an Italian family for myself but I rather find me a Bo Goodnight.

I guarantee that this book is an excellent read and would have up many sleepless nights trying to find out how everything played out.

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face. Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it. Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

THE HIGHLAND HENCHMAN by Amy Jarecki

After reading "The Angel and the Warrior" I really needed a book to pick me up and I am so glad that this book did just the trick. The only thing that irked me was that the heroine in this book upset me greatly. Needing royal assistance, Baron Ross issued a tournament to enchant the Highlanders to leave their land and come to the Lowlands to take part. What he really wanted was for the Highlanders to fight a dangerous battle that would get most of them killed. After the tournament the Highland Lairds choose instead to entrust their best warriors to stay and fight. This was not exactly what Baron Ross wanted but he knew that he could not change their mind so he accepted. Bran MacLeod was one of the warriors that was left behind, and even though he did not like it, he knew that he can never go against his Laird. It did not help matters that their was a dangerous instant attraction between him and the baron's last daughter. Bran knows that getting involved ...
