This was the first book I had read by author Patricia Sargeant, but it set the stage for my feelings about her literary skills and abilities as a storyteller. Creating characters that speak not only to each other, but to you, there is no wonder why Patricia has gained a following across the United States.

This is the first book I've read by this author and it is a page turner. She is very detailed in her writing. She makes you feel like you are on the scene, and she makes the characters come alive.

The book starts out slow, but all the details will help tremendously throughout the book. A news reporter and fire investigator try to work together (despite the fire burning between the two of them) to solve the mystery behind a string of arsons; while outside forces attempt to prevent the mystery from being solved. This story is full of deception, trust, murder, mystery, and surprises.

Sharon MacCabe and Matthew Payton fight an incendiary attraction as they work to stop a serial arsonist in Charleston, WV. I enjoyed watching their love and trust grow, and the arson suspense story was different and compelling. Sharon is a heroine you can root for, and Matthew is a yummy hero. I bought this book after thoroughly enjoying Sargeant's first romantic suspense, You Belong To Me. Her books have a place on my keeper shelf!
