I have been enjoying Christian Romance Suspense novels for a few years now. I use to avoid them, although now they are one of my favorite genres to read. Intentional Fires by Rebecca McLafferty, Book Two in the Sunrise Crik Series, is the latest book in this genre that I have read. Rebeccas McLafferty is a new to me author, so I was excited to read this book! 

I jumped right into this book and the storyline grabbed me from the very beginning. The 2 main characters in this book are Toni Stevens and Sam Duncan. Toni is a Widow, Single Mom to 2 Boys,  and owner of a Christmas Tree Farm. Sam Duncan is a U.S. Forest Service Special Agent. They are recently engaged. Toni has a lot going on in her personal life, now she has to figure out who is trying to sabotage her. The Tree Farm has been robbed, attacked and set on Fire. Sam is deep into his own investigation with a Forest Fire that uncovered a murder and he also has uncovered a "weed" growing by Drug Dealers in the area. I really LOVE the double storyline in this book. Toni and Sam are busy with their work and investigating the major events on their jobs, yet they still find time to invest in their relationship. I really LOVE that Sam tries to connect with Toni's son, even though the son is not fond of Sam. The book is fast paced and very action filled and I loved the intrigue within the story. Romance, Faith and Suspense are contained in this book. I HIGHLY recommend this book. GREAT BOOK!

More from Rebecca

There is a saying, “Home is where the heart is.” Rebecca McLafferty totally agrees!

Rebecca is the author of the Sunrise Crik Series, which consists of action-packed romantic suspense novels set in current-day Montana. She and her husband have vacationed and explored the Livingston to Bozeman area where this series takes place. The town of Woodridge is fictious, but a number of area establishments mentioned within her stories are real.

The phrase “The Big Sky” was coined by Pulitzer Prize-winning author A.B. Guthrie in his 1947 novel of that name. In addition to the obvious vision of unobstructed sky, Big Sky Country—to Rebecca—represents big dreams and big faith. It symbolizes the backbone of Montana!

Are you wondering how Rebecca can authentically write about growing Christmas trees? It’s because she and her husband owned Country Memories Farm in Wisconsin where they raised alpacas, and planted and grew Christmas trees! She also operated Country Memories Mercantile (now downsized to an online store). Their love of educating others evolved into an operation that hosted school, family, and community events. That’s why she loves to interact personally with people from all walks of life!

And are you wondering how Rebecca knows about police department operations—even drug smugglers? She worked for a tourist-town’s police department—a fascinating place to get ideas!

Rebecca admits to having worked dozens of unusual jobs (great discussion material for another time). She wondered why she experienced such diverse occupations before God revealed to her that she needed authenticity for her novel writing. What she hasn’t experienced herself, she has visited or thoroughly researched.

The title, Intentional Fires implies forest fires. That’s obvious. But there are other types of fires that burn intentionally. Internal fires can sustain a 90-year feud and lifetimes of unforgiveness, resentment, and broken dreams. Do you suffer from an internal fire?

• Whether you live in Montana or dream of visiting the west . . .
• Whether you have an entrepreneurial spirit that wants you to succeed . . .
• Whether you want to fall in love, rekindle your faith, or root for an underdog . . .

Come and experience the heartfelt struggles that Montanans fight with all their might to protect.
