Fire & Rescue Shifters: Wildfire Crew #4
Wildfire Pegasus
The baby isn’t the biggest secret…
Diana never even knew his name. One impulsive, out-of-character night with a smoking hot firefighter, and now she’s a struggling single mom. She may have had to give up her dreams, but she’s determined to give her precious baby Beth everything...including a chance to know her biological father.
When a twist of fate lets Diana track the firefighter down at last, she’s braced for him to run screaming—not sweep her into his arms and hold her like he’ll never let go. Yet she can’t escape a nagging feeling that it’s all too good to be true. Is it just her anxiety disorder…or something more?
1. Rescue mate 2. Claim mate 3. Catch newfound daughter (who turns into an adorable, alarmingly fast pegasus) yet again
…were not on Callum’s to-do list for the day. Now he’s flying blind without a plan, and only one thing is certain. Diana and Beth are his, and he’ll do anything to keep them.
Even if that means hiding the truth.
It’s not just that he’s a pegasus shifter (though that’s hard enough to explain). How could Diana trust him to be a good father if she knew about the crippling curse of his special power? Or the hidden pain in his past? And as if his personal demons weren’t enough, there’s the literal demons stalking his fire crew...if Diana knew any of it, she’d bolt even faster than little Beth.
Especially if she discovered the biggest secret of all…
He isn’t Beth’s father.

Okay, I overall liked this but wtf is wrong with whatever the name of Beth's mom is? (I just finished this, God help me, I can't remember her name...) This will get spoilery so read further at your own risk.
The triplets and all their pretending to be each other is one thing. But Conleth tells her that he's the father (after she already thought it was Callum) and she just flatout takes it as fact, doesn't ask one question and agrees to move across a motherloving ocean with the kid because he wants the kid in England?! On the spot? With the guy you slept with once? Yeah right. And here, take the kid who has never seen you before while I go out of sight. Suuure. That kinda brought the book down a bit...

Shy and socially awkward, pegasus-shifter Callum's ability to sense others overwhelms him in large groups -- so being a wilderness firefighter is the perfect job for him, and why his two other triplet brothers trying to trick him into being in a charity bachelor auction made him feel so bad. He doesn't even remember what happened that night because of the sleeping pill he took to calm himself down -- which is bad, because now he has a woman at his doorstep, claiming that he fathered her baby that night.
Poor, sweet, Callum, with his lists and everything. He's sexy and adorkable at the same time. While he should have told Diana that he was an identical triplet (and that he might not be her baby-pegasus-daddy), his fear of losing her to one of his brothers is heartbreakingly real and makes his hesitation understandable. Diana is great, too, and her back story adds a lot to the overall series narrative. This is a really great book, and a great addition to the Wildfire Crew series.

Diana had a one night stand with a man she didn't know and had no way to get a hold of once she found out she was pregnant until she spots him giving an interview on tv. After finding out where he is, she drives to him to let him know about their baby.
Callum is a pegasus shifter and Hotshot firefighter. He's also an identical triplet so when Diana finds him and tells him they have a baby together, he's not sure he's the father but he knows Diana is his mate.
Because of a set of crazy circumstances, Callum doesn't remember a night he might have spent with Diana but that doesn't stop him from claiming the baby as his own and claiming Diana as his mate even though one of his brothers could be the father. Hearing about how she met Callum and maybe his brothers was actually really funny.
The evil from the last few books in this series is still after the Hotshot crew and they are still trying to communicate with the thunderbird. But we do get a little more information about the thunderbird so I'm looking forward to seeing where that leads.
Callum and his two other brothers haven't always gotten along but there's been a lot of miscommunication along the way so when they all come together to figure out who the father is, it's a real mess at first. Once again if they had just talked, things could have been resolved so much easier. Diana takes all the information that gets thrown her way pretty well considering it's quite a bit. But Callum and Diana were so great to watch together.
The evil is still after the team so we get to see Lupa again who seems to be in charge, kinda and her flying hellhounds. Fenrir, who is one of the Hotshot teammates but who is stuck in his animal form is a hellhound so it was really interesting to see how he reacted to Lupa when he got a good look at her. Fenrir's book is next and it's the one I've been looking forward to the most because he's such an interesting character.
This book was so much fun and so many secrets came out in this book, so I'm really glad I read it. This series is best read in order because of the overarching storyline. This series has been so much fun that I've been binge reading the books.

Aww I just love kids and babies in stories. This one had a little suspense and a whole lot of sweetness. The over all ARC continues in each story. You do need to read the series in order. Love the cover. Great read.
did-not-finish
April 13, 2025DNF at 30%. This book is annoying me.

It was one long episode of Maury Povich but with pegasi. With brothers like these who needs enemies?
January 21, 2020
I was nervous going into this because I'm generally not a fan of the secret baby trope, and the confusion over the triplet brothers made me especially nervous. I'm glad I read the revised edition and not the original story. This one was better than I'd expected. Which is good because I like this series. Ultimately a happy ending for Callum, Diana, Beth, and extended family. Looking forward to more upcoming stories and twists.

Well worth the wait!
I have been waiting for this story for awhile now! I love Callum and couldn't wait to see him find his mate. Getting a little hint at the end of the previous story just made me want it more! Beth is adorable and Diana is a wonderful mommy and mate. There are some twists to this story, and watching how it all works out was super! Just don't start reading this at bedtime, like I did! There are not any good places to stop, and I just had to see what happens next! So it is now way past bedtime! The pace is very fast, the tone is hopeful and uncertain and the storyline is character and action oriented with some steamy scenes. The characters are vibrant and endearing. I am looking forward to Fenrir's story next. Read at least these in order, but to get the full effect, read Fire & Rescue Shifters I order before these in order! Enjoy!

OMG..OMG
Loved, loved Callum and Diana story epic. And very surprising to find out the real reason why that demon thing wanted Diana dead, because she's a threat to their existent. Man this was truly a story that had me laughing. This crew and all they have achieve in finding their true mates, and now seeing that Conleth will be a part of the team he too may find his mate. So what the heck is the Apple story please do tell. And what has gotten into my furry friend Fenrir, Lupa is his sister, so the crew has it wrong. Poor Fenrir I do feel bad for him cause now he's lost wandering that forest..but can't wait to read his story..big fan as always Winzie19☺💞.

I thought Diana was pretty brave to seek out Callum, sure it was the right thing to do, but she knew nothing about him. I did love how Callum reacted when he realized that Diana and Beth were his. I even thought Diana did well learning about shifter and how cute was it that Beth took to learning about her other side so quickly. What I could have done less with was the drama with Callum's brothers. That bit got old fast. I was very happy when things were cleared up and it turned out that Callum was right. The Christmas party at the end was fun, if only because of the things in common with the whole crew. Should make for the next year to be very interesting for them all.

WILDFIRE PEGASUS
HERO /HEROINE:
Diana had a one night stand that resulted in a pregnancy. Now she's found the father of her child
Callum is a wildland firefighter, a hotshot. A pegasus shifter. He is one of three identical triplets.
REPRESENTATION: Shifter Romance, Indigenous FMC
OVERALL THOUGHTS:
Ugh, Callum and Diana were so cute, and Beth made them all so perfect together. I really hate that the author brought in the drama that they did.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:
A lot. I didn't like that Diana was so willing to throw away her life in the US for a man who was bossing her around? She has a soulmate, her family heritage, her thesis and the possibility of returning to school and she just agreed to Beth's father's (allegedly at the time) demands. And I do mean demands, he told her she needed to choose her mate or her daughter. And the head strong character that Diana was up until this point, folded like a fucking chair and she said, “okay I guess I'll leave it all behind even though I'll be miserable.” It just didn't seem right.
The two brothers tormented Callum his entire childhood enough he had to convince his parents to send him to boarding school and then keep himself separated from the family as much as possible. You're telling me their parents didn't step in at any time? Or any of his friends? Like HELLO?? Such. Huge ass group of adults who raised their kids in a village setting never once thought why Callum was being targeted by his brothers? Never once put those boys in their place? On top of that, current said brothers are still acting like fools and shit. There should have been more ass whooping and yelling. And after hearing Callum's side, and feeling the anguish, Humiliation, loneliness and betrayal from him, Diana just politely talked the brothers into apologizing and learning their lesson? Fuck that shit. It ruined the whole thing.
I'm not even going to mention the baby daddy drama, what the actual fuck was that shit. That mess was annoying to read through.
I wish none of those moments had happened. I wish the brothers had learned their lesson in a different way. I hated that Conleth came and started making promises and demands, throwing his weight around, telling her his parents were so excited to meet their new grandchild. Did his parents even mention how wrong it is for him to take his brother's mate away?? A fucking mess.
FAVORITE QUOTES:
SAFETY
AGE:
Not mentioned, I'm guessing mid twenties.
SEXUAL HISTORY:
Callum’s sexual history is vague, idk if he was a virgin before meeting Diana at the auction or not. Diana hasn't had a partner in almost two years, other than the man who fathered her child
CONDOMS:
No
TUMMY BUTTERFLIES:
🦋 0/ 5 fade to black. Nothing about this couple gave me butterflies.
PUSH/PULL:
Diana tried pushing Callum away, several times throughout the story
SEPARATION:
No
CHEATING:
No
OW (Other Woman)/OM (Other Man) drama:
Yes, pretty dramatic who is the father of my baby type of bull shit
SEX SCENE WITH OW/OM:
No
POSSIBLE PET PEEVES/TRIGGERS:
Fire, Forest Burned, Animal Torture (through possession of evil),
HEA/HFN:
HEA

It was so typical of the brothers Connor and Conleth to try to hurt Callum, and they wounded him deeply with Diana's help. Piece by piece we are given parts of the puzzle until the very end. I was #teamcallum all the way! It took so much before the brothers finally saw the error of their ways. Their fun hurt and almost destroyed Callum! Seeing red!!! Diana's first reactions to the brother's and baby daddy's plan for them enraged me and disappointed me. Diana hesitated too much. Her fated mate was left hanging because of her!!! Glad Diane finally woke up to the real truths! Diana learns her true nature-awesome! What an ending! Can't wait for Lupa and Fenrir!

This was a good addition to this series, but if you don't like the miscommunication trope then it my be a little aggravated. Because it not just with the love interest but with family.

Great story
This series continues to be engaging. Like the previous 3 books in the series, this was an enjoyable read. What I enjoy the most is each story is unique but still blends in well with the series. If you have read the other books, you will enjoy this one as well.

Secrets
Diana met "Callum Tiernach-West", he never left her any contact information so when she found out she was pregnant, she didn't have any way of letting him know that they shared a beautiful daughter named, Beth. One day she saw him and his crew on tv, and she took the decision to drive up to the mountains to give him the news.
She met one of the Hotshots Squad' enemies there, he tried to harm her and her baby. At the same time Cal and the others were on their way back to the base. He sensed that something was wrong, he saved them and realized that they were his everything.
Callum Tiernach-West had always been the quiet one in the Thunder Mountain Hotshots squad. He had a storm brewing within him, Edith ( WILDFIRE GRIFFIN ) was the only that truly understood what he was going through. He met Diana and Beth and knew they were his. He also realized that Diana mistook him for someone else.
He didn't know how to tell his fated mate the truth about the night she conceived her precious angel, Beth. He told her what he was and who she was to him. Then all hell broke loose when his brothers, Connor and Conleth started to put the pieces together. For a while Cal wast lost to his loved ones but the mated bond he shared with Diana brought him back from the abyss.
There was more to Diana than beneath the eyes, she was connected to the Thunderbird who'd helped the Hotshots since the series began. So glad that Cal and his brothers worked things out. I'm very intrigued by Fenfir's story.
WILDFIRE PEGASUS is the fourth book in Zoe Chant's FIRE & RESCUE SHIFTERS: WILDFIRE CREW series. It was fabulously awesome, heartwarming and a must read. Zoe Chant did an amazing job! 5++++

First off, I never read the original. I have only read the newest (edited) version. Which I loved, even if I wanted to smack those brothers constantly. So if you have a chance. Read the newest version because I very much enjoyed it and felt satisfied with the relationships that were made and mended.
****** Spoilers *****
Now, I never read the original, but had a friend that did. Discussing it with her, the new version is much better and settles cleanly with Callum actually being the father. Personally, I don’t think Callum would have ever truely been happy with Conleth being Beths father. Not truly. I believe their brother-ship would have felt more like obligation then love. (But I never read the original, and I never will, so I don’t know how Zoe spinned it)
I do feel the settling of the father problem might have been a little rushed or subtle. But I may be feeling that way due to the big giant battle that takes place afterwards, so it was marginalized.
P.s. why would Callum’s hotel room be between the two brothers....?
The Native American legends are amazing. I love the culture and that it is being incorporated. But I’m no expert on it, so I hope what I am reading is doing justice to the Native Americans. I have soooo many theories about the Thunderbird. I’m pretty sure he is related to someone and mated to another 😉

Look, I have two siblings with ADHD and I've never
August 27, 2024
Enjoyable for the most part but I was not a happy camper when everyone thought Conleth was Beth’s dad. And he was kinda a dick about it. He got mad when he lied in the first place. Also how did none of them know what they were doing that night. I’m glad that particular mix up didn’t last too long but I really hated it. Also, Lupa is his sister?! Bc that’s shocking. I can’t wait for Fenrir’s story. I have high hopes for it. Idk how I feel about them all getting pregnant at the end of the book. It’ll sweet for them but idk. There’s a lot of questions still about the serpents and everything.

Update:Zoe has revised this story which makes it so much better. There was an aspect of the story I was a little uncomfortable with. While it didn't detract from from the plot, the new version is so much better.
I was privileged enough to receive an advanced reader copy of this book from the author for a voluntary and honest review.
Zoe Chant is amazing and this story did not disappoint. Shifter romances are my favorite! I can't wait for the next one.

This book is enjoyable. Callum is a good guy. Diana is good. However, the dynamic between Callum and his brothers is irritating. And Conleth, one of Callum's identical triplet brothers, is not a good guy. I don't think there was a good reason for them to be written that way.
(Note this review has a spoiler but not anything not already in other reviews.
I remember reading the part when was it Rory's dad? who could tell there were three babies when Connie got pregnant? It should have been Chase, since he could sense all creatures, but it wasn't. Anyway, it was such a sweet thing and then for them to be written so that one has felt ostracized his entire life wasn't cool. Chase and Connie wouldn't have tolerated their kids being cruel to each other. That just didn't fit with the parents' story.
Ms. Chant did remove the part about Diana's baby being Conleth's, thank goodness, but she still kept in a part where they thought he was the dad for a short while. Not only was that not needed, it could have been cleared up easily if Diana hadn't been so eager to take whoever's word for it that they were the dad. They didn't even discuss the evening in detail. Conleth first lies to Callum about ever having met Diana when Callum sends a picture of her to him. Then when he finds out there was a baby, he shows up and punches Callum. What kind of sense does that make?? Conleth was the one who lied. He had absolutely no right to be angry. To top it off, he suspected Diana was Connor's mate and intended to have sex with her anyway. Who does that?? You know that one day you'll have intimate knowledge of your sister in law. That's just wrong. I'm so disappointed in the the author for writing the story this way.
And then Conleth does a complete 180 that seemed odd. I think she must have left in parts of the old story about Conleth finding out about the baby and then wrote in the change that it was Callum's after all. That part should have just be ripped out and started from scratch.
The relationship between those three almost ruins the story.
I also wasn't impressed with her representation of ADD/ADHD and generalized anxiety disorder. There was also discussion of being worried about having children because they might inherit ADHD. Really??? I get not wanting to have children if you have the gene for really aggressive cancer or some really severe conditions but ADD and ADHD?? That's almost as bad as saying "I don't want to have kids because I have brown hair and brown hair is ugly."
I have generalized anxiety and panic disorder. And while a lot of what Diana had going on did fit with that, any medication she would have been on would have made it manageable. She was taking medicine but she needed a better dose if it wasn't working better than it was. It is treatable to the point where you don't have any symptoms. BUT you can't breastfeed while you are taking the medicines and she did.
Personally, I don't think bringing in these different conditions adds anything to the stories. If it is a subject she knows really well and gets the details right where the reader puts the book down with a better understanding of the conditions, it might be worth it but that doesn't happen here. And if the point is to say, people with ADHD can get married and be happy too, well, duh. With autism, that is different but Edith was obviously a very high functioning person on the spectrum.
The storyline we should have been concentrating on was fine. The progression with the thunderbird and the legends of the Native Americans were great additions. We didn't need baby daddy drama.
(Note this review has a spoiler but not anything not already in other reviews.
I remember reading the part when was it Rory's dad? who could tell there were three babies when Connie got pregnant? It should have been Chase, since he could sense all creatures, but it wasn't. Anyway, it was such a sweet thing and then for them to be written so that one has felt ostracized his entire life wasn't cool. Chase and Connie wouldn't have tolerated their kids being cruel to each other. That just didn't fit with the parents' story.
Ms. Chant did remove the part about Diana's baby being Conleth's, thank goodness, but she still kept in a part where they thought he was the dad for a short while. Not only was that not needed, it could have been cleared up easily if Diana hadn't been so eager to take whoever's word for it that they were the dad. They didn't even discuss the evening in detail. Conleth first lies to Callum about ever having met Diana when Callum sends a picture of her to him. Then when he finds out there was a baby, he shows up and punches Callum. What kind of sense does that make?? Conleth was the one who lied. He had absolutely no right to be angry. To top it off, he suspected Diana was Connor's mate and intended to have sex with her anyway. Who does that?? You know that one day you'll have intimate knowledge of your sister in law. That's just wrong. I'm so disappointed in the the author for writing the story this way.
And then Conleth does a complete 180 that seemed odd. I think she must have left in parts of the old story about Conleth finding out about the baby and then wrote in the change that it was Callum's after all. That part should have just be ripped out and started from scratch.
The relationship between those three almost ruins the story.
I also wasn't impressed with her representation of ADD/ADHD and generalized anxiety disorder. There was also discussion of being worried about having children because they might inherit ADHD. Really??? I get not wanting to have children if you have the gene for really aggressive cancer or some really severe conditions but ADD and ADHD?? That's almost as bad as saying "I don't want to have kids because I have brown hair and brown hair is ugly."
I have generalized anxiety and panic disorder. And while a lot of what Diana had going on did fit with that, any medication she would have been on would have made it manageable. She was taking medicine but she needed a better dose if it wasn't working better than it was. It is treatable to the point where you don't have any symptoms. BUT you can't breastfeed while you are taking the medicines and she did.
Personally, I don't think bringing in these different conditions adds anything to the stories. If it is a subject she knows really well and gets the details right where the reader puts the book down with a better understanding of the conditions, it might be worth it but that doesn't happen here. And if the point is to say, people with ADHD can get married and be happy too, well, duh. With autism, that is different but Edith was obviously a very high functioning person on the spectrum.

RATING GUIDE: 4 Stars. WILDFIRE PEGASUS, bk4 brings us closer to the conclusion of the ongoing story arc which began with bk1 and concludes in the final book 6. Because WILDFIRE PEGASUS contains its own mini-conflict, resolution and HEA it could possibly be read as a Standalone title but the author recommends beginning with bk1 and I tend to agree. I am increasingly enjoying this series as the details are coming together for the final climax.
MY RATING GUIDE:
1= dnf/What was that?; 2= Nope, not for me; 3= This was okay/cute; 3.5= I ENJOYED THIS; 4= I LIKED THIS A LOT; 5= I Loved it, it was great! (I seldom give 5 Stars)
Story:
Through a fair amount of family drama Callum, a Pegasus shifter, meets Diana, his true mate. Meanwhile the Wildfire Crew battles fires begun through natural and unnatural means and are attacked by enemies both known and unknown. New allies are formed and fractures in former relationships healed.
Comments ~
1) WILDFIRE PEGASUS contains a certain amount of Family Angst and Lack of Communication between the MCs, both conflict developing elements I prefer to avoid in my reading. In addition, the Secret Baby trope is NOT one of my favorite tropes so I wasn’t sure how much I would or would not enjoy this particular book. Thankfully, each of these factors were resolved before my personal thresholds were met and I was able to settle into the story and simply enjoy the action and suspense.
2) WILDFIRE PEGASUS is a Fantasy shifter novel which includes unusual shifter characters (a Pegasus, Phoenix, Griffin, Hellhound, Unicorn, Shark and a Sea-dragon). For the most part, the tone for this series remains light.
3) POSSIBLE SPOILER: Both the MMC and the FMC live with special challenges - an Anxiety disorder and ADD. I thought these were described and handled rather well. ALSO TO NOTE: The author claims this title has undergone an editing/rewriting process since its original release. Apparently she decided to change certain elements based on reader feedback. Since I liked it now, I’m not complaining.
4) The WILDFIRE SHIFTER series is a “second generation” series. It follows the children of Chant’s “Fire and Rescue Shifters” series. The WILDFIRE SHIFTER series might best be enjoyed by those who read:
> Light Shifter Romance Suspense novels.
> Quick and easy, light/escape fiction (Palate Cleansers between more serious or other genres).
> Chant’s light Shifter Romances
READER CAUTION ~ Not recommended to readers who prefer Clean fiction or to YA readers.
PROFANITY - Yes. Strong language is used.
VIOLENCE - PG. Tone is fairly light.
SEXUAL SITUATIONS - Yes. Brief intimacy occurs (which could be skipped if desired).
ADDITIONAL COMMENT: This series includes demons beginning in bk2? who are the villains “in hiding.” I prefer avoiding anything resembling the occult in my reading but their part in the story is minimal in pages and they are definitely Not the White Hats, with which I can agree.

I think I’m many ways, this book was favorite from the series so far. We really knew Callum the least because of his quite nature, but I couldn’t help but fall in love with his character pretty quickly. I liked his story a lot because it had a different story arc than the first 3 books. Yeah, we’re still dealing with demon possession and yeah, his strong mate needs to come rescue him through their soul bond. BUT this book was slightly steamier than the last 3, which isn’t saying much since I felt there was zero smut in books 1-3, but it did vary enough to feel fresh. Also we’ve got a baby in the mix, plus ALOT of family drama from Callum & his brothers & not so much from the Wildfire crew this time.
In every book there has been some deception on the males part, in which they are lying or misleading their mate in some manner. I’m NOT A FAN of this troupe AT ALL, since it would probably not be so forgivable in real life. Callum definitely gets the award for most deceptive mate.
It was also sort of shady how the original meeting went between Diana and the 3 brothers. There’s a lot of time spent clarifying that everything was mutual (an event that happens 1.5 years before the start of the book).
But basically it’s was:
Behind Door#1: a drunk passed out brother
Behind Door#2: a passed out brother on sleeping pills
Behind Door#3: a drunk passed out brother
Drunk girl chooses one of the above doors at random, enters, has sex with mostly passed out brother then leaves.
Question is…. Which brother????
Answer:
A. if no one remembers, did it really happen??
B. Are you really lying if you were so passed out you really don’t remember if you had sex or not?
C. It should not even be a question because no one was alert enough to give consent so everyone went home to their own beds to sleep off their hangover.
D. It doesn’t matter because the brothers are so freaking identical they may as well all be the same person anyway.

A grudging five stars, LOL
You and I both know what it's like to become quite fond of the characters in a good series. And if you've read some of the series that I have, you know just how completely an author can blow it all apart when they betray a character. That very nearly happened in this book, in this series.
I was THIS close to not finishing this book, it was so bad for a while. :(
I was all too mindful of another series and a book that had returned to the first main characters after many others. That book I had hesitated to read...and I wish I'd listened to my instincts because that series AND that author are now permanently "dead" to me. It was a total, irreversible betrayal of a character that had already suffered too much.
I was afraid it was happening again here, and nearly gave up on this book because I'm unwilling to read through that kind of thing again. Fortunately this author came to their senses in time--and our MMC gets the HEA he deserves.
I am giving a grudging five stars because this book adds a lot to the series...but I am seriously NOT amused by the deliberate, extended confusion over who the actual father of Callum's true mate's baby was...even if it was all satisfactorily resolved, along with important progress on some crucial relationships long gone wrong. The MFC Diana was a bit shallow in places while this uncertainty dragged on and on--all of which combines to leave a slightly dissatisfying aftertaste once you finish the book.

This is the fourth book in this series and starts where Wildfire Sea Dragon left off. It is another exciting fast paced story full of friendship, love, danger, drama, silliness, misunderstandings, and magic. Plus there are hot protective fire fighting shifters. When Callum, a Pegasus shifter who’s also a hotshot firefighter, “first” meets Diana, he saves her and her infant daughter, Beth, from a car fire started by a hellhound. He knows on sight that she is his true mate. Diana insists that Beth is Callum’s daughter and she looks just like him. Diana claims she met Callum at a time and place where he was but he does not remember the night Beth was conceived and unfortunately, Callum is an identical triplet and his brothers, Conleth and Connor were also in the hotel at the same time. Callum just has to figure out how to convince Diana that she’s his true mate before she chooses one of his more fun brothers once she discovers that he might not be Beth’s father. The two follow the twisting road to their HEA while continuing to battle the demons that like to possess magical creatures, keeping safe from the lightening throwing Thunderbird, and dealing with Beth already shifting into a pegasus. The way the book deals with Callum’s need for lists to combat the ever present bombardment of other life forms on his psyche and his feelings of unworthiness in comparison to his brothers gave me all the feels. I love when real issues are included in romances - it makes for more rounded characters and storylines. With Wildfire Pegasus, Zoe Chant again proves she’s a fantastic paranormal romance author

Baby makes three
Callum has just been told he is a daddy!
This is right after he pulls a woman and her baby from a wrecked car with a fuel leak. A hell hound targeted her, and the hot shots think it's to use her as a hostage against them.
Callum recognizes his true mate immediately, and quickly bonds with her baby, Beth too.
He longs to claim them for his own.
There's just three problems. Neither he nor either of his brothers remember sleeping with Diana.
All three were compromised by either alcohol, or a bad reaction to a prescription drug.
Diana was also drunk.
So whose motel room did she end up in that night?
Did I mention the brothers are identical triplets?
None of the old problems have been solved yet either. Lupa and her hell hounds are still working for demons.
They are still trying to kill the Thunderbird, and she still has a windigo obeying her.
In spite of all this, family is family, or as Fenrir says, "Pack is pack."
Speaking of Fenrir, he is acting strange, (stranger than usual.)
Read this series in order, and get ready to be entertained, delighted, and engrossed!
I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves good stories.

The crew grows again
I like the crew more and more with each book. I enjoyed the books about their parents a lot and these books do not disappoint. Callum and his brothers are just such fun characters. They bring a lot of humor to the crew that already has issues and know each other so well you just have to love how they play off each other. Diana sure made an entrance into the crew. Nothing like a fire,a hellhound and a baby to bring the best out of the crew. Beth shifting for the first time was hilarious especially when Callum was trying to find her and keep her mom from discovering details to soon. The twist with the thunderbird was great not to mention the twist with Fenrir. This book keeps you going from the beginning until the end and leaves you excited for the next adventure with the crew. Best holiday party ever. The grandpa's playing with the babies was priceless. So much good humor, a lot of adventure, fun stories mixed in and some love, friendship and family all make for a fantastic read! Never a dull moment in the book or with this crew.

As ever always Zoe Chant delivers on the excitement, passion, heart-racing love scenes, comedy, danger, family and friendship, that this series and all her series bring!
The plot of the story thickens and gets more exciting as little details are brought to light, about how the evil menace has played out in the lives of past and present generations.
This is so very sweet with whipped cream and a cherry on top...there's an adorable baby involved here that steals the show!
I won't give away main spoilers, but I can identify as a female with what Connor and his brothers are dealing with in life, as someone who is not nerotypical myself. I spotted it quickly and it endeared the story even more to me as Zoe did a brilliant job with all the details and represented it so well!
It's a fantastic read in the series, I suggest you start at the very beginning with Firefighter Griffin if you want to get all the inside jokes on Chase Tiernach (believe me, you really do want to read all the first gen books to get to firefighter pegasus-worth it!)

Tangled Weave
This book was more than I expected and the author did a great job.
Getting to know Callum and learning how he coped with his talent What is definitely interesting.There are family issues that he is not willing to resolve at this point in his life And they will come back to hot him.Just not in the way he expected. I will say this about the story once they tell a lie it snowballs in a way no one foresaw.
Diana has not always had an easy life losing her mother early, coping with alter personality within her psyche and losing her father. But becoming a single mother probably takes the cake and also saves her sanity.I
There are issues at the hot shot camp that will Possibly put Diana and her daughter in danger but it's the hidden truth that made tear a family apart.I
I'm going to go back and read the previous books to catch up on the characters that I've come to know and this book and look forward to reading the next and the series.
