Firestarter

by Patsy Collins

FIRESTARTER – A romantic comedy with a few flames!Alice has a fantasy. It starts with being rescued by a hunky fireman, involves the kiss of life and ends in him not needing his uniform. At the New Forest Show, Alice is offered an innocent version of her dream. Reluctantly she turns down fireman Hamish's invitation.

Despite Alice's blameless behaviour, boyfriend Tony's obsessive jealousy kicks in. Hamish wants to take Tony's place, but a hoaxer ensures she already sees far too much of Hampshire Fire Service. The threat of an explosive sprout surprise, her mum's baking, sister Kate's mind boggling pep talks and the peculiar behaviour of Alice's boss provide distractions.

Is Alice really in danger? What is Kate up to? Can Hamish possibly be as perfect as he seems? It takes masses of wonderful food, disgusting wine, smelly mud, red footed crows and steamy Welsh passion, but she finds the answers. And rethinks her fantasy.

A well written story by an Author I have not read before. Alice and Hamish's story of suspense, drama, danger, twists, turns, arson, villains, and romance. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Oh look. It's not really my type of book. I'm a mid forties heterosexual male. I don't want to read a book about a girl who fantasises about Firemen.
Actually, I did read it and I enjoyed it. I bought the book on a whim. It is frothy and fun. There were bits were I laughed out loud. I think I might even fancy a fireman...
