Against the Fire

The Raines of Wind Canyon, Book 2

By: Kat Martin

Narrated by: Jack Garrett

You can't fight what you can't see. And Gabriel Raines can't be sure just who's setting the fires in his new real-estate development. When two fires hit back-to-back, he knows it's personal, but any number of competitors or ex-employees could be the arsonist. The police suspect Angel Ramirez, a local teen who's been in trouble before. But Mattie Baker, a volunteer at the Family Abuse center, just can't believe the kid she's been working with would go back to his delinquent ways. Determined to convince Gabe that she's right, Mattie must get close to him and find out who's putting their neighborhood in jeopardy. And just as the arsonist's flames continue to burn, they find a heat developing between them. It might just turn into a full-fledged fire… if they can survive long enough.

Great Audio!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Against the Fire to be better than the print version?

Audio version always better then the print version because I seldom have time to just sit and read. The audio gives me freedom to do other things while I listen to a book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Against the Fire?

I loved the background story about Sam and Tracy where Tracy finally trusts Sam not to hurt her.

What does Jack Garrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I loved what Jack brought to the story....he does the story very well.

CONSTRUCTION AND DESTRUCTION

Mattie is a woman burned and is content to live her life for her job and for the families of abuse organization she volunteers for. Gabe owns a construction business and needs to find the S.O.B. setting fires to his current projects. Their paths cross when a young man Mattie has helped in the past is accused of the arson. He is quickly cleared but Gabe can't quit thinking of Mattie. As they work together to solve this investigation, they begin a very steamy relationship. As the fires continue, Mattie lets her guard down when it comes to Gabe.

Excellent

Interesting topic with clearly defined plot. Will continue reading the series. Very glad to find another author who can keep my interest.

Good

Another good listen. This is Gabe and Mattie's story. Suspense, action, romance and sex.
I love to listen to Jack Garrett's narration.

Really exciting, edge of your seat story!

Any additional comments?

Can't help but like Maddy and Gabe. Then there is the truly evil bad guy wreaking havoc to keep them on their toes. Once again though Kat Martin has a great story but writes in just a few too many sex scenes. Even in the romance genre there really is no need for quite that many. But this is a story well worth buying and listening too never the less.
