This story is not about smoke jumping as I had hoped but the MMC is a jumper/firefighter. A traveling nurse moves to Montana and falls in love with a traumatized firefighter. They find out through happenstance and coincidence that they have a mysterious connection.

What a fantastic first effort. Ivy Fairbanks is an author to watch. I feel like I know these characters personally. Also the audio is perfect and necessary given the Irish words and phrases.

Just seemed like a very unhealthy relationship and then it all wrapped up quickly into loveliness. Not very believable.

A master class in character development. Alex is a creative musician wrestling with blended family issues, his career trajectory, nasty entertainment business professionals and the girl prodigy who just took his job.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.
Almost half way into the book and not much of a story is developing.
