Now wounded and on the run, Jamie and Logan must fight for their lives in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. But the biggest risk of all is the sparks between them…and the terrible cost of a second chance at love. 

Jumpstart your summer reading with this edge-of-your-seat journey of peril, faith, and finding the courage to love one last time in book one of the bestselling Chasing Fire: Alaska romantic suspense series.

Book Review

While Burning Hearts is the first book in the new Chasing Fire: Alaska series (a multi-author series created by Susan May Warren and Lisa Phillips), it is set in the same world as previous series like Chasing Fire: Montana and Last Chance County Fire and Rescue. As such, there might be some familiar characters. Personally, I had only read some of the books from these previous series and found I was able to enjoy this one just fine as a standalone. 

Every time I pick up a book by Lisa Phillips, I know that I am in for a fantastic suspense read. Add in that this particular series was also co-created by Susan May Warren (who is likewise a master at adventurous stories that keep me on the edge of my seat) and I was definitely excited for this one... and it absolutely did not disappoint. Right away, I was drawn into Logan and Jamie's story. Jamie came to Alaska to search for her brother. Logan came to Alaska to find Jamie and get his second chance with her. (Talk about a man willing to go to great lengths for the woman he loves...I love that!) When she is abducted, he sets out to rescue her bringing us a fantastic second chance romance filled with suspense and danger and plenty of twists and turns along the way to keep me at the edge of my seat from start to finish. Jamie and Logan were both beautifully written characters on their own, with great chemistry together who I couldn't help but root for. Their romance was perfectly blended with the suspense, and also some beautiful messages of faith that only made me appreciate their story all that much more! This was a great start to the new series and one that has me looking forward to seeing what is going to happen next! If you enjoy Christian romantic suspense, this is one you absolutely won't want to miss.
