An I-Team/Colorado High Country Crossover NovelAn I-Team/Colorado High Country Crossover Novel

Fire chief Eric Hawke knows it’s only a matter of time until the next big wildfire. He’s done everything he can to prepare his crews for the inevitable. When high winds turn a small blaze into a raging crown fire that threatens Scarlet Springs, he, Brandon Silver, and the rest of Scarlet FD put their lives on the line to save the town and its citizens. But the one thing Hawke hadn’t planned for was bureaucratic red tape and waffling from higher-ups that could turn this crisis into a catastrophe. When his requests for support go unheeded, he’s faced with the prospect of watching the town he loves burn to ashes.

But sometimes help comes from unexpected places.

Marc Hunter, Julian Darcangelo, and Zach McBride are in the mountains above Scarlet Springs for an interagency training exercise when they see a single wisp of smoke to the west. What begins as a fun day of playing cops and bad guys soon becomes a battle against time, as they join forces with Hawke and members of the Rocky Mountain Search & Rescue Team to save friends trapped by the fire.

Together, they pit their strength and courage against a terrifying and unforgiving force of nature. Will it be enough? Or will the ravenous flames claim lives—and leave the people of Scarlet Springs forever scarred?

“https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1537842880i/26349995._SX540_.jpg When the first responders of Scarlet Springs notice the first plume of smoke, tensions immediately ramp up and the men and women snap to attention. What follows is a nail-biting, on the edge of your seat, action-packed ride as everyone, from simply residents, to different responders (hot shots, smoke jumpers, firefighters, medics and law enforcement) to the animals of Scarlet Springs and nearby areas, evacuate and attempt to help battle the fire. Although I've only read two of the Colorado High Country series, and none of the I-Team series, it was fairly easy to read and understand what was going on in Chasing Fire. I didn't recognize all the characters here of course, but of the ones I did recognize, I loved seeing them again, especially Chaska and Naomi and Jesse and Ellie. From page one, down to the very last page, I was so into this story, wanting to know how/if everyone would get out, and if Scarlet Springs would be saved. I also have to say that reading this story was really hard for me (although easy to relate to) because my brother and his eldest son just lost their homes and all their physical belongings in the recent Camp Fire fire that ravaged Paradise in Northern California. But, at the same time, because I was able to relate, it made me appreciate this story all the more. I felt every emotion the characters felt - all the fear, all the anger, all the anguish, and finally, the joy that they were alive. Thank you, Pamela Clare, for this beautiful, moving, action-packed story! ARC via NetGalley for an honest review.
