Enflamed: Island Fire Boxset

Island Fire #7-8.6

by Amy Knupp

Enflamed is a collection of four stand-alone stories in the Island Fire series, including Flash Point, Fire Within, Impulse, and Slow Burn.

Flash Point
Her secret connects them in a way he’s never imagined.

Becoming an ER doctor is the second hardest thing Rachel Culver has ever done. The hardest was losing her beloved twin sister two years ago. As a medical resident living far from her family, Rachel was able to keep her grief at a distance. But now that she’s back on San Amaro Island, there’s no avoiding her anguish…or her guilty secret.

Cale Jackson is a rescuer at heart, both in his job as fire lieutenant and outside of it. But his fiancée’s heartbreaking death derailed him, and he’s been focused on healing himself ever since. When he runs into her sister, Rachel, in the ER, he suspects she’s struggling even more than he is, and he reaches out.

Rachel’s an expert at keeping people at arm’s length, but the secret she’s keeping from Cale connects them in a way he’s never imagined. If she tells him the truth, will it bring them closer…or scare him off forever?

Fire Within
Nearly dying can make a girl want things she’s never wanted before.

Environmental engineer/architect Sophie Alexander’s life blueprints have always centered on being solo, professionally and personally. Thanks to a less-than-stellar (a.k.a. majorly dysfunctional) family, she trusts no one and prefers to be alone…until she nearly dies alone.

Firefighter and eternal bachelor Nate Rottinghaus falls for Sophie the minute he lays eyes on her—while rescuing her from a burning building. Her defenses are down, but are his feelings enough to help her move beyond her past and embrace a future together?

Impulse
One mistake could derail his promising future.

Wild nights are a thing of Dr. Sawyer Culver’s past—and a rare thing, at that. So why, when he’s on the verge of finally doing his family proud, does he make his most impulsive mistake yet with Mariah?

Salsa dancer Mariah Jackson lives to the beat of her own drum. A self-professed flirt, she’s never been one to set her sights on any specific man. Until Sawyer bursts into her life…and her bedroom. Now it’s up to her to convince him to embrace the life he really wants.

Slow Burn
They’ve both dug their roots deep…eight hundred miles apart.

Zoe Griffin has a fresh new life—a hard-earned doctorate degree and a burgeoning nutritionist practice in Colorado. The only thing missing is the man she fell in love with.

Cooper Flannagan did “new life” ad nauseam as an Army brat and shudders at the very mention of change. His fellow firefighters on San Amaro Island, Texas, are his family. He’s dug his roots deep, and he finally feels like he belongs. But can he ever be truly content without the woman he loves?

Nice series wrap

This full length story and three short reads did a great job of wrapping up this series. The fleshed out the details of secondary characters that appeared earlier in the series, but whose HEA were left undefined. Ms.Knupp provided those HEA so they won't nag for closure.

I purchased copies of the individual books in this bundle and voluntarily chose to share my review.
