Some Like It Hot: Summer of the Burning Sky (Montana Fire book 8) Kindle Edition

by Susan May Warren (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 664 ratings
He said nothing for a long time. Then, finally, “I’m getting a few mixed signals here, so I’m going to err on the side of No. Just so we’re clear, you’re in charge, Larke. But in case you’re wondering, this doesn’t need to be anything more than right now.”
Of course. She’d expected that.
“Or it could be, Larke. I don’t have to be the guy you wanted in the bar.”
She caught her breath.
“I’m just saying that I don’t just put out fires. I can start them. And keep them going…”
She closed her eyes.
“Or I can be just a friend, if that’s what you need.”

When western Alaska erupts in a devastating fire, the elite firefighting crew of the Jude County Smokejumpers is called in to save the day. They’ll do anything to stop the fire, including fighting alongside a crew of local prisoners. The last thing they expect is a jailbreak and when the prisoners disappear into the forest with one of their own, they’ll have to fight not only the fire, but for the freedom of their friends…during the Summer of the Burning Sky

Riley McCord is trouble, from his blue eyes to his renegade smile—a cover for the grief of losing his father three years ago in Afghanistan, a loss that is still top secret. Riley masks it all by living large—working hard and playing hard, and that includes romancing Larke Kingston, local wilderness medic. When he’s sidelined while working the forest fire, he’s determined to rejoin his team, but to do so, he'll have to accompany Larke into the wilderness when she is dispatched to a medical emergency. What he doesn’t realize is that trouble is waiting for him in the woods…

Medic Larke Kingston lost the man she loved during her service in Afghanistan and she’s not interested in a troublemaker, so Riley’s no threat to her heart. Just a short-term distraction. Until, that is, a wilderness medical mission puts her face-to-face with an escaped prisoner. Suddenly she needs Riley more than she wants to admit. Riley is shocked when the escapee claims to have answers about his father’s death. However, before he can uncover them, the fire turns and is bearing down on Larke’s ranch, and his team.

Now, only Riley and Larke stand between the flames and destruction of everything they both love. But will the price of saving the ranch—and the team—be greater than they both can bear? In book 3, the epic Summer of the Burning Sky series comes to a blazing, shocking finale.

Although I attended the U of Minnesota, I’m a woodsy girl at heart. Or maybe I’m an adventurer—having lived and traveled all over the world, including Siberia, Russia as a missionary for eight years. That’s why my characters seem to get into one scrape after another—they’re too much like me! I love God, my family, my country, my church, and feel privileged every day to be able to write stories.

And my 'official' bio:

With nearly 2 million books sold, critically acclaimed novelist Susan May Warren is the Christy, RITA, and Carol award-winning author of over ninety novels. Known for her compelling plots and unforgettable characters, Susan has penned contemporary and historical romances, romantic suspense, thrillers, rom-coms, and Christmas novellas. With books translated into eight languages, she's a USA Today, ECPA and CBA bestseller, and has received numerous starred Publisher Weekly reviews. Library Journal says, "Warren’s characters are well-developed and she knows how to create a first rate contemporary romance.”

Susan is a nationally acclaimed writing coach, and winner of the 2009 American Christian Fiction Writers Mentor of the Year. She is the founder of Novel.Academy, author of the popular writing method, The Story Equation, and a founding partner of Sunrise Media Group.

5 out of 5 stars
Spectacular conclusion!
Some Like It Hot is the 3rd book in the Where There’s Smoke series and a spectacular conclusion! This, like the 2nd book parallels a fire event, but follows Riley and Larke. Susan May Warren has the gift for creating suspense so realistic that at times I have to stop reading and step away just to breathe. This book is no exception. Her writing makes you feel like you are there going through the fire with the characters.The faith struggles along with the danger allows you to see the characters connect on a soul level. Susan always teaches truth. And in this book, words from the 23rd Psalm repeat in their minds helping them find God in their dangerous situations.Recently watching the wildfires in the west while reading this book reminded me of how real this can be for many. And realizing the true danger these fire fighter heroes face daily.It is a great read that I highly recommend.But one more thing, what about Thorne and Orion and Larke’s brothers?Sure hoping we will hear their stories!I was given an ebook by the author but the opinion is my own.

    No one does it like Susie May Warren. Honestly, short books are not my favorite. It's tough to build true connections, to flesh out interesting stories. But this series. Three parts, each necessary and in order. So clever, so well plotted....each begins from the same place, but progresses in a different direction as it's seen through the eyes of a different couple. Each book peels back new facts about certain characters. Same situation, different dangers, new perspectives. Smart. Suspenseful. Romantic. Vintage Susie May Warren.

    I've read many "beach reads" this summer....all which make me realize just how well Susie May writes. From the overarching story, to the individual sentences....beautifully arranged and articulated.... to the grain of thought that precedes it all. She's just brilliant. And funny. And deeply spiritual. I'm grateful for her and other authors like her, that both entertain and challenge me. That give me something of value to contemplate when I'm finished. That though reading is an escape for me, it can be worthwhile when all is said and done. This third installment of the series is by far the best. Just SO good. Yes, I recommend it....along with everything by this author.

    I read books six, seven and eight in this series. Tucker, Rio, and Riely were all great characters with very similar issues. The action was fast paced, gripping and continuous. Never a dull moment. I also enjoyed Stevie, Skye, and Larken just as much. The 23rd psalm was an inspirational touch; especially how each of the characters took something from it that spoke to each of them in a personal way.

    When you pick up a book and can’t stop until it’s finished, you know it’s a great book.
    Well, this is one of those books. Yet, not just this book, but the WHOLE series!
    I like what the synopsis says at the end:
    In book 3, the epic Summer of the Burning Sky series comes to a blazing, shocking finale.
    Susan May Warren has done it again. She’s written a story which was so captivating from the very beginning to the last word. WOW!
    This book continues the storyline of the fires in Alaska. With the smokejumpers and firefighters who worked to save the beautiful landscape, to the suspenseful actions of fighting the dangers not only from the fire but from the escaped prisoners.
    The whole crew has to dig deep inside to find the strength they need, and which they can draw upon, that only comes from God.
    I enjoyed how the author ended this book because it was a continuation of the other two books and nothing was left undone.
    This whole series is full of sparks, action, intrigue, drama, suspense, and some sweet romance!
    I highly recommend you pick up this book and whole series. You’ll never watch the news about forest fires and look at beautiful mountains the same!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Twists, romance, emotion, and a ton of action conclude this fantastic novella series.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Some Like It Hot had a few twists out of nowhere, which made it all the more interesting to see how Riley and Larke would handle and respond to their circumstances as all the excitement unfolded. It wasn’t all action, though, as this story took possibly the deepest emotional turns and had both Riley and Larke coming to terms with what it means to be a hero, the risk it takes to love, and the way God abandons everything to bring us to Him. And Riley! Talk about a fun hero — he’s such a flirt on the outside but I loved seeing the way Larke brings out his protective and heroic side, especially when her own struggles and attraction complicate everything. The series is wonderfully and nicely wrapped up with this final novella (which happens to be my favorite of the three), but I DO hope the author has more in store for this team in the future!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was expecting
    Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2018
    Susan May Warren's conclusion Some Like it Hot was not what I expected. I wanted a conclusion from the first two climactic moments, and it didn't satisfy me. It was focused more on the relationship between Riley and Larke. The first two overlap a little than jumped into the climactic element with the prisoners, but from different point of views and then stretched the story a little more. In Some Like it Hot, it began the same way, but then it took a while to catch up with the prisoners, but then kept pulling away from the prisoner conflict and sticking to Riley and Larke. The ending to the series didn't wow me. It left me thirsty for me, which is so unlike Warren's writing. Even though this book didn't thrill me like she usually does, I still can't wait to return to her other books.

    This was different.. 3 short ebooks telling the same story through different pairs of eyes. I need to now read them again. I found book 2 rather redundant but this third one was great and was a good wrap up ( although there is more story to tell). That is smart writing. If you want light, intense reading, pick up this series.
