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

CRASH AND BURN by Rachel Lacey

This book was not the usual Rachel Lacey book and I should know, I've actually read all of them.  This is a story I've not read before and it puts to light what your brain thinks about when you think that you're about to die. Isa Delgado is terrified of flying and now she has to step foot into her first ever plane ride to help a rescue dog that only responds to her. The rescue is a husky dog named Maya who likes to run away when things get rough.  This does not help Isa with her fear of flying but the hunk who was her pilot might help matters a bit. Take off was not so bad and it relaxed Isa to see Maya calm during the flight.  Just when she thought that flying might not be so bad, everything goes horribly wrong. Nate lives to fly.  He's been flying for as long as he can remember. That's why he did not foresee any problems in flying a lady and her dog to their destination. Things don't go as planned when in the middle of their flight, shit hit the fa
