Keanu Raine is a fire
fighter, and has fought the most dangerous forest fires for years as a
smokejumper. His training has served him well, but his ability as a fire
elemental has saved lives many times over, on he had no plans to quit any time
soon. When he returns home to the Pacific Northwest, he has no clue that the biggest
blaze he would ever fight, would be the one that Cammie Masters stirs in his
soul.
Cammie has loved Keanu
since the day he rescued her when she was a twelve year old girl trapped in a
tree. But now, her school girl crush is a woman’s lust. But Keanu has blown
into town before, is he really here to stay this time?
Keanu’s investigation into
the arson plaguing his hometown is heating up, and so is his relationship with
Cammie. But it soon becomes clear that Cammie isn’t a bystander, she is a
target. As Keanu tries to uncover the truth, things turn deadly, and as the
smoke clears there is more than just one elemental who has their sights set on
Cammie.
Some of the
elements in this story were totally unexpected. When I read the blurb, I
expected smoke jumpers, hot firefighters and steamy romance. While I got all of
that, I also got an unexpected paranormal element. It wasn’t huge but added a
little twist.
I loved the
connection between Keanu and Cammie. I especially loved the flashback to how
they first met when Cammie was just a kid. She decided right then and there
that she was going to marry him one day. I loved seeing them work together and
actually wished for more of those scenes.
I was
intrigued by the suspense element to the story but was disappointed that the
bad guy was revealed so quickly and that there wasn’t more danger to the couple
prior to the reveal.
My biggest
issue, was more of a surprise than a real issue. As I said before, there was an
unexpected paranormal element. It went from a small gift that Keanu had until
80% and then BAM! bigger paranormal presence with shifters being introduced. At
this same time, I felt like the book shifted from being Cammie & Keanu’s
story to being about her mom and dad. I’m not opposed to reading about her mom
and dad, but I would have rather seen a novella or the next book (assuming there is a next book) about them.
Abruptly switching to their POV just interrupted the story and took me out of
what was going on with Cammie and Keanu.
For me, the
ending was just so-so. Keanu goes off to fight one last wild fire and we didn’t
see any of it. Same with Cammie working while he was away. It all was just glazed
over until they were reunited, some new/big info was dropped and then HEA, the
end. It just happened a little too quick for me.
Overall, the
book was enjoyable and I’d be willing to read more from the author and even
books about other characters from this book (should the author make it a
series).
“Too
many clothes,” he bit out.
Way too
many, she silently agreed.
He
pulled back and stood up, holding his hand out to her. This was it. If she took
his hand, there would be no turning back. Not that she had any desire to. This
man was so very, very gorgeous. And he was all hers. As a little girl she’d
fallen head over pigtails for him, and now she was scared she’d done the same
thing, only as a woman.
Placing
her hand in his larger one, it felt like she was jumping off a cliff. Cammie’s
tummy did a little flip, sending flutters of sensation all the way to her toes,
and what an awesome place to be, on the edge of a cliff ready to free fall.
With an
effortless tug, he pulled her up. Cammie set her hands on his chest, dragging
them over rippling muscles that jumped under her touch. One by one, she undid
the top three buttons of his polo shirt. A heartbeat later, his shirt was gone,
exposing him to her gaze. His smooth chest beckoned her palms and mouth to
explore. Cammie let her hands roam the contours of his shoulders. She placed
open-mouthed kisses over his pecs, moving her hands down to the waistband of
his jeans.
“Enough.”
He grabbed her wrists. “Where’s your bedroom?” Keanu growled.
She
pointed in the direction behind her, hoping he could figure it out. She didn’t
want to take her eyes, or her mouth, off his well-sculpted torso. Leaning
forward, she used her tongue to tease the little brown disc of his nipple,
before giving the same attention to its twin.
His
hands moved to her hips, down over her ass, and lifted her up. She wrapped her
thighs around his waist, anchoring herself to him when he started moving. She
trailed her tongue down the column of his throat, biting the tendon between his
shoulder and neck, his steps never faltering as Cammie continued to taste him.
Reaching
the bedroom, he laid her on the bed while he dealt with his belt. The sound of
it hitting the floor was another added stimulant to her, quickly followed by
the zipper. Within moments, he was down to his briefs, with a sizeable bulge
that had Cammie’s eyes widening as it jutted free of the cloth. She rose up
onto her knees, wanting to see all of that hardness. Trepidation warred with
excitement.
He
slipped the straps of her dress over her shoulders, exposing her sensitive
breasts to his gaze, and his hot mouth. Without preamble, he bent and sucked
the puckered flesh of her nipple into the hot cavern of his mouth. Liquid
warmth spread through her body like a warm blanket. He had such a wickedly
talented tongue. He blew cool air over the puckered flesh, never ceasing in his
teasing of one or the other nipple.
She
quaked against him, whimpering incoherently and begging for more. He suckled
harder, before switching his attentions to the other breast, sending a
lightning bolt of pleasure straight to her core. His hands were beneath her
dress, slipping off her panties. Hallefrickenlujah!
“God,
but you’re perfect.” Keanu’s mouth found hers in an all-consuming kiss that led
to another. He tugged her dress over her hips, and down until, it too, lay on
the floor with her underwear.
“So are
you,” she mumbled against his lips.
His
mouth, teeth, and tongue traced a path down her chest, swirling around her
belly button. Her muscles bunched and shifted against him. His husky chuckle
let her know he noticed. Threading her fingers through his hair, she encouraged
him to go lower. All the things she’d read and fantasized about doing, were
becoming a reality, with the one man she’d always dreamt about. No longer was
she worried about not measuring up, or whether he would call the next day. She
had no reason to save herself, because the man she’d always wanted was with her
now.
With an
open-mouthed kiss at the top of her mound, followed quickly with a nip to her
feminine folds, he completely undid her. Keanu separated her folds with his
fingers, blowing a warm breath over the exposed area, moments before he sucked
her tiny nub into his mouth. He licked and nibbled, rolling his tongue around
in circles she thought would drive her insane. She was so primed, so ready, she
came in a rush against his tongue.
“Again,”
he rumbled against her flesh.
Putting
action to words, he pressed one thick finger into her clenching core, swiftly
followed by two, and then three, making her feel overly full. She knew he was
an extremely well-endowed man, and she couldn’t see how he would fit inside her.
Thoughts fled her mind when he latched onto her clit, and sucked in tandem with
his pulsating fingers. Tingles started in Cammie’s toes and worked their way up
her legs, over her abdomen, sending her shooting to the stars in a kaleidoscope
of colors.

Keanu
moved up the quivering body of the sweetest tasting woman he’d ever had the
pleasure of sampling. She was so incredibly tight, he feared hurting her, but
there wasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell he could stop. The analogy wasn’t lost
on him.
He
grabbed a foil packet he’d placed on the dresser earlier, and donned the
protection in record time. He placed his elbows beside her head, threading
their hands together, and pressed the tip of his cock to her entrance. Her eyes
widened, and he wanted to ease all her doubts and fears.
In a
kiss he hoped conveyed all he felt, he captured her lips between his, brushing
his mouth across hers until she opened in welcome. He felt some of the tension
leave her body, and he pressed the first inch into her. He teased her lips with
his tongue, trailed down her jaw, and nuzzled into her neck.
Pulling
out, he pushed back inside another two inches, only to retreat and repeat the
process. Her body was trying to accommodate him, but she seemed to be fighting
it. A light went on inside his mind that made him freeze in place. “Cammie, is
this your first time?” he asked.
A tear
seeped out of the corner of her eye. “Don’t stop. Just do it and get it over
with.”
“Look at
me, sweetheart.” He lifted up on his hands. “I’m not going to stop unless you
ask me to. But, and this is a big but, if this is your first time, I need to
know.”
“Why?”
she asked with a puzzled look.
She was
so sweet, and innocent, it took all his control to rein himself back. He closed
his eyes and brought his head down to breathe in her scent. “Because, I want
this to be good for you.” He nuzzled her neck and then looked back up into her
face.
Cammie
looked startled. “I don’t think it can get any better.”
“Oh yes,
there is so much more I can do, things that will bring more pleasure for the
both of us.”
He eased
back and retraced his earlier path back down her body, stopping to pay homage
to her firm breasts, taking a little bite on each hip bone, before feasting on
her most intimate flesh and stabbing his tongue inside her, mimicking the act
he wanted to do with his cock. He felt her walls flutter and wanted to shout in
triumph.
She
thrashed against him, and he placed a hand on her abdomen to hold her in place.
He continued to lick her while she squirmed against his face and his fingers,
making her roll right into another orgasm in an endless stream of pulses that
left him hard and aching. He ground his dick against her sheets, knowing he was
on the edge of coming, but staved off the urge, barely.
Climbing
back up her body he paused to kiss her, placing the head of his cock at her
entrance, before slowly entering her an inch at a time. Holding himself up on
one elbow, he reached between their bodies with his right hand and strummed her
clit.
“Oh
Keanu, that feels amazing, but seriously I can’t come again. I need you in me.”
Cammie’s voice rose.
His
balls tightened painfully at the incredibly small entrance. Her liquid heat
surrounded him, and more of her copious fluids coated his dick and ran down his
balls. Rocking his hips back and forth, it seemed to take forever, before he
was finally seated fully into her flesh.
Caught
by the liquid brown of her eyes, he was captured somewhere between pleasure and
pain as her nails dug into his shoulders. Pleasure won out as she lifted her
knees, gripping his hips and opening herself to him completely. For a moment he
held completely still, letting her body adjust to his, Keanu felt a connection
snap into place he’d never had with another woman.
The
sweet honey of her desire eased his entrance, and her gasps were like music to
his ears. Cammie’s smooth flesh constricted around him, dragging him so deeply
inside her, he feared he’d never want to leave.
“Move,
damn you,” Cammie breathed.
He
pulled out, rubbed his cock up the slit of her sex, once, twice, three times,
and then plunged his stiff shaft in to the hilt again, hissing at the immediate
suctioning pull, and the hot clasp of her vaginal walls. He lost it.
Withdraw.
Slam. Withdraw. Slam. Over and over again, he repeated this process.
She let
loose a sexy groan that reverberated throughout her body, setting him on fire.
His
inner flame leapt up several measures. Their thighs slapped against each other,
and their bodies made wet sucking sounds as he pounded into her. His vision
went blurry as he raced toward release, and his balls drew up, preparing to
flood her with his essence.
“Come
with me, Cammie, I want to feel you squeeze my dick so hard I’ll feel it
tomorrow.”
“Yes,
yes,” she moaned.
With
every slam, his pelvis hit the top of her mound. Twisting his hips, he ground
against her hot little button. Her gasps grew louder and she came again,
drenching his balls even more, pushing him over the edge.
Holy Mary, Mother of
all that is divine, I think I just saw Jesus Christ.
He
wanted to come inside Cammie Masters, without protection. Coming bare inside
the hot clasp of his woman was now going to be listed as a religious encounter
that he must experience, and soon.
They lay
entwined, their breathing rapid, hearts beating in staccato bursts as he tried
to regain his equilibrium.
Cammie
rubbed his back. “Wow. That was, like… Oh, my, is that normal?”
He
looked at her with a puzzled frown. “What do you mean?”
“Don’t
be obtuse. Does it normally feel so great?”
“Not for
me. I mean, sex is great.” He grunted as Cammie pinched him in the side. “Don’t
give me that look. Sex has always been satisfactory for me, but what we just
shared? It was totally off the Richter scale.”
She
looked at him with insecurity shining in her eyes. “Really, you’re not just
saying that?”
“Honestly,
do you feel that?” He pumped his hips. “I’m ready to go again, and that only
happens after I’ve used my powers.”
“Oh…oh!”
She relaxed under him.
“Hold
that thought.” He brushed her lips with his, before carefully withdrawing. He
saw her slight flinch. “I’ll be right back.”
I’m a wife and mother who
is a retired stay at home mom of 2. I say retired because my youngest is 14 and
my oldest is 20. When my baby went to school, reading saved my sanity, and then
the same year he started school, I was diagnosed with Cancer, again reading
saved my sanity. When I recovered and realized how quickly life could change, I
made a bucket list. The number one thing was to live. Check. On top of that
list was to become a published author. Check. Eight years later I have
accomplished that goal and several others.
I live in the Midwest, but
I”m a southern girl with only a slight twang who says y’all quite frequently,
and am known to say “Bless Your Heart” A LOT. If you know what that means, you
do not want to be the one I say that to, lol. I cuss worse than if a trucker
and a sailor were put together, but I do it with class *WEG*.
I write what I love to
read, erotic romance. My books are definitely full of lots of story, but I
leave nothing to the imagination in or out of the bedroom. My hope is that
after readers have read one of my stories, they fall in love with the
characters as much as I have.
The best part of my new
journey is that I get to create new worlds, and have all kinds of stories in my
head just waiting to be written. I truly love to hear from readers. You can
find me on Twitter, Facebook or my webside, but I’m on Facebook ALL the time,
so find me. I’d love to hear from you J
