Fire Bear Shifters #4
A Flame to Bear
Bailey Webb is a long ways from home when an unexpected tragedy strikes and forces her to rethink life as she knows it. After a handsome firefighter comes to her rescue and convinces her that starting over is actually possible, she starts to make plans for the future that include him. But when he reveals to her that he's hiding a beast within him, she feels betrayed, and does the only thing she knows to do: runs.
Trevor Hayes can't believe that the beautiful woman he saved from a local fire actually seems interested in him. After spending time together, and convincing himself that she's his lifemate, he trusts her with his deepest secret. When she reacts in anger, he gives up on her and decides they must not be fated for each other, after all. So why can't his heart let go?
Can Bailey find the courage to give a new life with Trevor a fair chance? Will Trevor learn how to trust in fate even when it doesn't look the way he thought it would? Find out, in the fourth installment of the Fire Bear Shifters Series.
Content Warning: This 30K word novella is a standalone with no cliffhangers. As you would expect, firefighting bear shifters know how to heat things up! Expect explicit love scenes and adult language. Rawr!

This is probably one of my favorites thus far, but the ending was too rushed. It is a novella, but most of the book is the build up of the relationship and then right at the end is the big announcement, resulting fall out and almost immediate makeup. The fire rescue, dates and emotions were so descriptive it would have been fun to see the end of the story get that same detail and attention.

It was good. More action and more shifting.

The off season for smokejumpers is a relief for the forests, but a challenge to keep in shape mentally and physically for the firefighters that jump from planes into the forests to protect them. Trevor was working at the local volunteer fire company this off season. A small town with few fires to worry about – except for tonight when a hotel has gone up in flames. Trevor hears cries for help yet he cannot locate the woman, his fire chief is screaming for him to get out of the building but Trevor cannot leave anyone alive in this infurno. At the very last possible moment he finds the woman and the man who had died of smoke inhalation. He could save her at least.
Bailey awakens in the hospital thankful to be alive, sadden at her colleague’s death and clueless how to go on from this point in this remote location with all of her clothing and identification burned up in the hotel fire. She has a vague memory of the firefighter who had saved her, but at the moment all she is trying to do is cope. Trevor has an unexplainable need to check up on the fire victim. There is a sense of knowing her, needing to know that she’s okay. So he tries a unique way of breaking the ice at their first meeting.
As Trevor and Bailey spend time together, Trevor comes to realize that she is his lifemate. While he knows she’s attracted to him, will she accept his bear? Bailey enjoys the company of Trevor, especially since her life has changed so much since the night of the fire. They might have a future together – until Trevor reveals his bear and Bailey rejects him in anger.
A Flame To Bear is an intense story. One that hit me on a couple levels. Trevor has been a favorite of mine from the Bear Claw Clan since I first met him. He didn’t deserve the way Bailey reacted, so my heart hurt for him most of all. While it all turned out well in the end, I never warmed up to Bailey again after her rejection scene. Guess I’m a bit protective over that particular bear.

When tragedy strikes, Bailey Webb is forced to reevaluate her life. Trevor Hayes is searching for something to due in his off season. One fire brings them together! Will Bailey accept Trevor's hidden side? Will Trevor be able to prove he's more than just a big bear?
Loved Trevor and Bailey. I did think these two had a harder time due to Bailey having never heard of shifters! Didn't blame Bailey for her reaction, but was glad that she admitted she was wrong and that she was willing to give him a chance. I loved how once Trevor got over the rejection he became determined to win her over. Great book!

Smoldering Chemistry
3 1/2 Stars. I liked Bailey and Trevor's story, but it finished too abruptly. More should have been told, but the author seems to have been in a hurry to stop writing. She failed these two characters. This was disappointing.
Trevor was a smoke jumper who is also a bear shifter who volunteers his time to the local fire department.
Bailey was rescued in a fire. She did not remember much. When she woke up she found a pie with a note from the firefighter who saved her...Trevor Hayes.

Ok
This book was like the others in the series. Everything happened real fast with the typical shifter story of life mates. I still have one more to read in this series that I have already purchased but I will not be getting any more.

This whole series has been a fun, fast, and easy read. Not overly complicated but well written with likeable characters.
