Barringer's Pass #2
Gold Fire
Reformed wild-woman Zoe Larkin meets her match in saloon-owner Jase Garrett in this lighthearted, steamy romance set in a picturesque mountain resort town.
Welcome to Barringer’s Pass, Colorado—a mountain paradise with a long memory. The Larkin sisters have tried for years to make the town forget the wild ways of their youths, but Alpine Sky Resort assistant manager Zoe Larkin can still feel the judgment, despite her guarded manner and sensible skirts. Her big chance to be taken seriously as a business woman comes in the form of a land deal: all she has to do is persuade the owner of the rundown Rusty Wire saloon to sell so the Alpine Sky can build a golf course on the land.
Jase Garrett made a name for himself as a world-class competitive skiier and won four Olympic medals. But the tragic death of his best friend nine years ago threw him off course, and the Rusty Wire is both his sanctuary and his hideaway, so he will never sell. No matter what.
Zoe goes back to the drawing board with a little assistance from her very attractive boss. But when Jase is the victim of arson, Zoe becomes the number one suspect. Has she sunk to new lows to gain a promotion? Or is she the victim, too?
Zoe and Jase must work together—very closely together—to clear her name, save the Rusty Wire, and see if the sparks fly as well in the bedroom as they do at the negotiating table.

Zoe is trying to live down her teenage reputation by being extremely straight-laced, but when her job wants her to convince Jase to sell his bar and land things get interesting.
What I enjoyed:
* I liked Zoe and Jase and thought they were good together, but
* Nice to see Cal and Maggie
* There was a good background story
* The "cult" was pretty cool and I would love to see more of them in the next book
What could have been better:
* I wanted more wrap up
* I don't understand

Image is everything to Zoe Larkin. She has spent the last several years of her life working to leave behind the stigma of what locals often refer to as the “wild Larkin sisters”. Now she has a chance to close a huge deal for her employer, Alpine Sky Resorts, and gain a major promotion in the bargain, if only her success not be so dependent upon the goodwill and cooperation of Jase Garrett.
Jase coasts along quite nicely until Zoe Larkin walks into his bar, the Rusty Wire, and makes an offer to buy him out. He has no interest in letting his bar and land be razed, in order to build a golf course. Not only that, he cannot stand the prim, proper and repressed Zoe bothering him to death with her endless sales pitches. The Rusty Wire is all that has been keeping Jase together, since losing his best friend to a skiing accident nearly nine years before.
When a rash of bad luck has Jase putting out fires, dealing with disgruntled customers and health inspectors, not to mention facing the forcible closure of his bar, he is certain Zoe is behind it all. On her part, Zoe is appalled at the tactics she is beginning to believe her boss, Matt, is using. She and Jase have no choice but to investigate the truth. Soon, they find themselves thrown together in a set of circumstances that leave them scrambling to stay alive, while trying to navigate an inexplicable attraction between them.
This fast paced romance novel has plenty of chemistry, action, suspense and a fantastic cast of characters that make readers feel right at home. Set in a small Colorado mountain town, it comes complete with a background that truly enhances the story. Readers will empathize with Zoe and Jase’s attempts to thwart their budding romance, in favor of the lives they think they want. All in all, this is a quick, satisfying read that will keep you hooked until the last page.

Set in Barringer's Pass with the Rusty Wire the local saloon which stands in the way of Alpine Sky ski resorts plans to expand with a golf course. Zoe Larkin Assistant Manager at Alpine Sky trys to convince Jase Garrett to sell to her boss. It's a pretty good read.

Zoe was way too demanding and just not a likable character. She refuses to take "no" from Jase on selling the land and it's not in a good way, it's in an ignorant and annoying way.

Just from the cover I knew that I would enjoy this book. I love stories that are set in western towns and filled with hunky, sarcastic cowboys. That description definitely fits Jase Garrett. Zoe Larkin, on the other hand, is a little uptight and is just wants to escape the nasty reputation that her two older sisters left behind that have soiled the Larkin name. Zoe plans to go straight to the top and is about to close the deal of a lifetime and she is bound and determined to not let the lets of some stupid cowboy get in her way. Their story takes us to Barringer’s Pass, Colorado where a lot is about to go down in a rather short amount of time! Zoe and Jase cut straight to the chase; they both know what they want and they stop at nothing to have it!
I really enjoyed Jase’s character a whole lot more than I liked Zoe’s. It honestly took me a few chapters to warm up to Zoe, and that hardly ever happens to me. Usually it’s the other way around. I usually love the female character and completely despise the male character because of how they are written. Zoe was just too uptight at times. I respect her decision to want to live a different life than her sisters have, and to recover from a rather rebellious teenager but at times I feel like she just takes it too far and I wish I could see her more laidback from the start. She is all about structure and focusing on her career. Zoe did grow on me a little more as the book developed and so did her relationship with Jase!
Jase, on the other hand, I loved from the first page. He was sarcastic and loved to give Zoe a hard time as soon as he met her. Some of his dialogue is very well written and I could always hear that cowboy voice pop into my head when I got to his lines. He is a simple man who is also as stubborn as Zoe, and she just doesn’t know that she has really met her match. My favorite parts of the book were when Jase challenged Zoe. He was always putting her on the spot and forcing her to face her feelings. The relationship of these two was very well developed and I actually felt like they were a real couple. Their relationship became so real while I was reading it that I almost forgot it was just a story.
This book was so fast paced and full of highly suspenseful moments. Without these two elements I don’t believe that I would have enjoyed the romance in the story as much. The suspense that Starr used came in at just the right moments and was just the right pace. I was very impressed with this aspect of the story. Jase handled every situation with complete charisma and poise, I might add, and he just stole my heart from the beginning!

It’s been just about a year since I read Silver Sparks, the first of the Larkin Sisters books. When I received this one for review I had to go back and re-read my first review to try to reacquaint myself with the females from this strange family. Zoe was raised on a commune for a good chunk of her life by her free spirited mother. When she and her sisters were shipped to her grandmothers to live Zoe became the free spirit of the town. Her and her sisters ran wild and with that attitude came a powerful reputation that even years later, they can’t escape.
Zoe has made her life about order and structure. She focuses solely on her career at the local posh resort and in her quest up that ladder she finds herself at the local bar looking to make a deal with the owner. Except instead of finding it an easy acquisition, she finds the owner Jase to be completely obstinate and unwilling to wheel and deal. Zoe and Jase butted heads constantly and I found their budding relationship both well wrote and funny. Starr does this great combination of sexy, funny and suspenseful without crossing into the suspense genre. I wanted Zoe to loosen up and let Jase in a lot sooner then she did. I could understand her resistance but at some point, come on…he’s practically begging her to let him in. Knocking down those walls of hers until she has no choice but to confide in him. The push and pull and Jases’s arrogance (yum) were engaging and just….fun.
I enjoyed Jase immensely. He was sexy without being overdone. Jase spends most of the novel talking himself out of liking Zoe because he doesn’t feel he deserves to be happy after the death of his best friend years earlier. In an attempt to make amends and assuage his guilt, he hires his friends widow and his father on at the bar and lets them take over never noticing the hints of the widows failing psyche.
When things start happening around the bar everyone is quick to blame Zoe because of her past and even though the thought does enter Jase’s mind, he believes her innocence and instead thinks someone is out to frame her. The intrigue and “who done it” was enough to keep my attention without it becoming a full on suspense novel. It stayed in happy middle ground and it kept me reading.
I liked this book a lot! It made me smile in a sea of books that made me want to scream “MEH!”. I look forward to reading the last Larkin Sisters book…I just hope I don’t have to wait an entire year.
I give Gold Fire by Starr Ambrose 4 stars!

Zoe is the type of person that always has a goal plan. She always has a list that the compares everything to, especially her type of man. She is a hotel assistant manager and was asked to see if the owner of a bar that they were looking into would sell. She never thought that meeting the bar owner would change her life. She thought she knew what she wanted in a man. But that completely changed. What she thought she knew she wanted and what she thought she knew about life completely changed for her. Her life was turned upside down by meeting one single man. A man that she feel head over heels in love with.
Jase is the owner of a bar. He has been through some tough times and only had the bar to help him with his past. He hired friends and family that he could trust. He always thought that he could just flow through life with just the bar and no serious relationship in his life. He never thought that one woman would change the way he thought about things. He did not know that when he met her he would want to change his way of thinking and living because of her. He fell in love but did not know what was going to happen. He just knew that he wanted her and would convince her till she felt the same way.
Throughout the book, the main characters were at each other’s throats. Zoe wanted Jase to sell, and Jase doesn’t want to. Every time they argued the sexual tension increased. I loved how they slowly came together throughout the book. I loved how no matter what was thrown at them they always were together. Most of the problems that were going on were at the bar and Zoe and Jase blamed each other.
I was surprised when I found out who was actually behind most of the problems at the bar. I did not think that person it turned out to be helped in the overall scheme of things. I completely enjoyed finding out that surprise.
I loved the way the author put the characters together. The complete opposite personalities meshed so well when they were together. I completely loved the way that every time they were together the tensions between them always increased until they finally slept together.
I was completely sucked into the book from page one. I wanted to always know what was going one and what was going to happen next. The author wrote and amazing book and I cannot wait to read more of what she has written.

Another book from my friend Starr Ambrose. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, the second in the "Larkin Sisters" -- This one is about middle sister, Zoe Larkin.
See below fro Amazon description:
Zoe Larkin is facing the biggest career opportunity of her life, and she’s not going to let Jase Garrett ruin it for her. The infuriatingly sexy owner of the Rusty Wire, the hottest honky-tonk saloon in Barringer’s Pass, flat-out refuses to sell his bar and its surrounding land to her employer, the Alpine Sky ski resort. If Zoe can convince the stubborn cowboy to change his mind, she’ll not only impress her rich, handsome boss, but maybe—just maybe—people in town will finally start to take her seriously.
When the Rusty Wire becomes the repeated target of violent intimidation tactics, though, the spunky redhead’s meticulous to-do lists and conservative blazers are no defense against her wild child reputation. The only person who understands what it takes to forget the past is standing between her and the future. But is it the future she wants? Or will Jase’s electric kiss ignite a fire in her heart for the life she truly desires?
Starr writes a good story and a hot romance.
http://www.starrambrose.com/ -- Visit her website for her other book titles. I've read them all!
The first in the series was Silver Sparks Silver Sparks about the oldest Larkin sister, Maggie.
and I just discovered there was an e-novella published in October (2012) just before Gold Fire (that I missed, OMG...I hate when that happens!) called Wild for the Girl which also takes place in Barringer's Pass, CO. Wild for the Girl

Rating 3.25 stars
For the most part the heroine, annoyed me with her blindness when it came to her boss and almost falling for his polished seduction and her stupid lists and plans. She is one of the Larkin sister, who she raised hell as a teenager(sleeping around, etc) and has been trying to respectable ever since, I didn't understand why she didn't leave town and start over. Anyways, for a promotion she needs to convince the hero to sell his bar and he doesn't want to. He is a former Olympian who has been wallowing in guilt ever since his best fried died a decade back, looking after his best friend's family and generally not having any drive. The book was just okay, somebody starts attacking the bar, his best friend's widow starts acting weird. Overall decent but not something I will go back or even remember. I kind of miss the author's early humorous books.

I wrote exactly one line about this book in my notes.
"I blew through this one fast, even for me."
Thanks for the help, past self, thanks a lot.
*sigh*
I added this to my TBR after I read Silver Sparks because it was a RITA nominee. I believe I liked Gold Fire better than Silver. However, there wasn't anything too unusual here. Ambrose does introduce a love triangle that makes you think she might be veering away from cliched Big Bad territory, but the natural order of things does soon reassert itself.
I know it's currently winter right now (at least for the States), but this series would likely be excellent beach reads when the summer rolls back around.

November 6, 2015Unfortunately, the opening scene didn't engage me and the heroine came across as judgmental and a bit irritating. I also didn't realise this had a suspense element when I picked it up. I am going to try and read the first book in the series and then maybe come back to this one.
December 1, 2012
Really enjoyable. Loved the romance but the suspense was a bit of a disappointment. Way too easy to figure out but the romance made up for it.
November 23, 2012
Another great read by Starr Ambrose!! Zoe drove me a little crazy at times, lol, being so focused on her image...Jase is just perfect...a great surprise romantic suspense!
December 16, 2012
Great plot and characters in this novel. I found it hard to put down;I got involved in the plot, and Ambrose has become a favorite author whose books will become auto buys.
April 21, 2013
My first by this author but definitely not my last.
