Series:
Hotshot Heroes (Book 12)
Even the best-laid plans
can go up in flames…
Mack McRooney is retired from military special ops, but
there's one final mission he has to take on -- catch the saboteur targeting his
brother-in-law's firefighting team…even if that means becoming a firefighter
himself. Partnering with state trooper Wynona Wells, however, was not part of
the plan. Mack and Wynona are fighting their fiery attraction to one another
and a deadly saboteur. And if they lose this fight, they might just also lose
their lives…
Fantastic conclusion to the series. Throughout the series,
the hotshot team has been plagued by a saboteur who has caused many dangerous
"accidents." Though the field of suspects has diminished, team leader
Braden Zimmer is frustrated by the inability to identify them. As a last
resort, he asks his brother-in-law Mack to join the team and investigate.
Mack recently retired from a career in military special
ops. While deciding what to do with the rest of his life, he trains as a
hotshot and takes a place in the team. Mack is suspicious of everyone,
including local state trooper Wynona. He feels she is hiding something. Wynona
is equally distrustful of Mack. He isn't law enforcement and has no business
interfering with her investigation.
With their mutual distrust, neither is happy about the
sparks of attraction that affect them. They fight against them, but ultimately,
their feelings are too strong to resist. However, each has baggage from their
past, making it difficult to open their hearts. I enjoyed seeing them get past
each other's walls and take a chance at love.
The suspense of the story was terrific. Mack has a target
on his back from his first day as a hotshot. Only his quick reflexes saved him
from being crushed by a falling tree. Wynona also finds herself in the
crosshairs when someone shoots at her and Mack. There are scenes from the
saboteur's point of view where we see his frustration at Mack and Wynona's
ability to escape his attacks. There are also hints of his motivation. The
attacks intensify as they begin to close in on his identity. The final
confrontation was a nail-biter and kept me glued to the pages until it was
over.
The epilogue was an excellent wrap-up for the books and
series. I liked catching up with the couples from earlier books.
