Tracey’s Review
Phew, is it hot in here, or what?! Excuse me while I fan myself, because, oh, my goodness, this book is pretty darned steamy.
As a fan of the Hacker series by author Meredith Wild, I was interested to see what the Bridge series would be like. Although INTO THE FIRE is the second book of the three, it is the first that I have read. Let me tell you two things about this newer set of books that I have discovered so far: 1) Although the characters carry over, I didn’t feel like I had to have read the first book, ON MY KNEES, to follow the storyline in INTO THE FIRE, and 2) This book is just as hot, just as tightly written, as the other books that I’ve read and enjoyed by Meredith.
Darren Bridge is the player of the three Bridge siblings. He’s a hardworking firefighter, but, when it’s playtime, he’s all in. I don’t think that Darren has met many women that he doesn’t like, and he’s sampled his fair share. But when Vanessa Hawkins comes comes onto the scene, it’s different. Longing to leave her smalltown past behind, Vanessa is trying to make her way in the big city, working crazy hours at a thankless job for a domineering boss. There’s just something about Vanessa that calls to Darren, and it isn’t long before things are getting, um, hot and heavy between them.
I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of the insta-love scenario, but, although things move pretty quickly between Darren and Vanessa, the fact that they’ve known each other before the start of this story makes it more believable for me. The chemistry between these two is off-the-charts hot, and Darren is absolutely persuasive. How’s a girl to say no?
I also enjoyed the backstory involving Vanessa and her jerkwad of a boss. I mean, seriously, David Reilly is one heck of a guy, and not in a good way. Meredith had me completely engrossed in the goings-on involving him and his shenanigans, adding a nice twist to the whole story. Capping the book off with the sweet epilogue involving Cam and Maya ended the book in just the right way, and brought everything full circle.
I really enjoyed INTO THE FIRE, and look forward to reading more about Olivia Bridge, the coolly mysterious Bridge sibling, in OVER THE EDGE. If you’re a fan of Meredith’s books, but haven’t picked up this series yet, do it. You will not be sorry.
