Expired Hope - Last Chance Fire & Rescue 2 - by Lisa Phillips and Megan Besing

 


About the book:

What will it cost him to save her from the flames?

Veteran and therapist Natalie Atkinson is all about facing fears and surviving. After all, she’s been there, done that, and she’s ready for a new future in Last Chance County. Even if it includes helping the incoming Fire Chief confront his own issues to lead his fractured team.

Fire Chief Macon James has finally come home to do the job he’s always longed for, and he doesn’t need a therapist interfering with the running of his crew. More, she’s put them in jeopardy by insisting she “train with them”—a liability that might just get them killed. The way he sees it, she’s just another counsellor, interfering in ways that destroy lives.

When an explosion destroys her car it seems Natalie is a magnet for trouble. Is she the target of a stalker? Macon has no choice but to stick around and find out. But getting close to Natalie means discovering her secrets…and risking the chance she’ll discover his.

But her so-called stalker isn’t giving up. And when his worst fears ignite, with Natalie right in the middle, Macon will have to become the leader the team so desperately needs if they hope to save her life.

The second breathtaking book in the Last Chance Fire and Rescue series!

My review:

I enjoyed this exciting story with a lot going on, from fires to a possible stalker to an explosion and kidnappings!  I liked how we got to know the characters at the fire station through a therapist's eyes as she tried to understand the dynamics between them and with Macon as the new chief.   She and Macon also felt very drawn to each other but both were running in the opposite direction at first.  Natalie really struggled with trying to help everyone, even people who weren't her clients and needed to realize she couldn't save everyone.  Macon had similar struggles as he felt immense guilt for past mistakes.  I enjoyed watching them realize that only God could be all they need while they also let themselves fall in love and imagine a happily ever after.  I enjoyed the action as we saw multiple fires but also some harrowing situations in Natalie's life!  I didn't feel lost with this being book two and not having read the first one.  I would recommend this book!

I received a free copy of this ebook from the author.  I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.
