Good story. This is the introduction to a new series about firefighters.

This is from the description: Strong-willed Anne was fearless and loved the thrill of fighting fires, pushing herself to be the best. But when one risky decision at a warehouse fire changes her life forever, Anne must reinvent not only her job, but her whole self.
Shattered and demoralized, Anne finds her new career as an arson investigator a pale substitute for the adrenaline-fueled life she left behind. She doesn't believe she will ever feel that same all-consuming passion for her job again--until she encounters a string of suspicious fires setting her beloved city ablaze.
The romance part was okay, I was really more interested in the solving of the crimes. I liked reading about Anne's process in investigating arson cases. The author also did a good job of writing characters who need to face trauma and how they adapt (or don't) to that aspect of their lives. The soap opera aspects of the story weren't so interesting for me, but the action and the mystery were really good.

Received this from NetGalley.com for review.
