BEST I've read from Nicole Snow, that's for sure! I loved how much focus there was on the romance in this one - though there was still plenty of drama and pulse-pounding action along the way. It feels like now that the mystery of Nine has been resolved, we can just sit back and enjoy the people of this small town and the trouble they get into. For those who haven't read the other books in the series, this makes a great place to start, because it easily stands on its own and doesn't rely on the reader understanding the complicated history of the town. With characters that are easy to like and a romance that goes from a slow burn to a SIZZLE, this has everything I want in a book from Nicole Snow.
The story follows Blake, a battered and broken down single dad/widower whose sole focus is making sure that his teenage daughter and the town is taken care of. When a feisty masseuse comes into town and seems to bring trouble (and fires) with her, the two have an instant attraction that's only dampened by Blake's moody, broody nature. He struggles with his growing feelings for Peace, but she slowly wears him down until there's no denying that they're meant for more.
I always enjoy Nicole Snow's romantic suspenses, but they're often a little heavy on the suspense for me or require the reader to understand the overarching storyline that connects the novels. This was so much easier for me to get into - it's 100% relationship-focused with a subplot that features mystery, drama, and ultimately, suspense without overshadowing the romance. I'll admit to being intimated by the length - yeah, it's definitely too long - but there wasn't ever really a lull or a point where I felt like the story was dragging. My connection to the characters was strong enough that I stayed interested the whole time - Blake makes a great hero with his tender side but definite growly alpha nature that Snow writes so well. Though there's a significant age gap between the two, I loved that Blake and Peace felt like equals and the age was never really a factor. If this is the direction that Snow is going with her Heart's Edge series, then keep them coming - and I know who I want to read about next. I received an ARC via Booksprout (then purchased it for my collection) and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Blake & Peace go up in flames... in more ways than one! 🔥💜🔥💜🔥💜
One of her best! Loved the fact she not only set the stage visually, she built the backstory and allowed the characters room to breathe & grow.Blake is the town fire chief who moonlights as a talk show host, Dr. Phil type, offering advice on anything and everything. Peace is a wanderer, daughter of former hippies, who comes into town on fire, literally. Her van breaks down and catches fire with Blake & his crew coming to her rescue. She is a massage therapist and he happens to have a leg full of knotted muscle, a result of a war injury. Too bad he is reluctant to take his own advice and let her assist him with her magic lotions and skilled hands sooner. When they finally stop dancing around, become friends and spend time together they combust!This story offers a bit of everything, drama, angst, regret, slow burn, love and loads of fiery passion. Loved it from start to finish!,
