Arctic Fire

By: Keira Andrews

Narrated by: Joel Leslie

When two strangers are trapped in a blizzard, heat rises.

Haunted by what he lost in Afghanistan, Captain Jack Turner is at a crossroads. While the last place he wants to go is the Arctic, at least the routine mission gets him out from behind his new desk. But he starts off on the wrong foot with the Canadian Ranger guiding him across the forbidding and dangerous land, and Jack would rather be anywhere than sharing a tent with Sergeant Kin Carsen.

The Arctic is in Kin's blood, and he can't seem to leave the tundra behind. He wishes he could live openly as a gay man, but the North isn't as accepting as the rest of Canada. Although he's lonely, he loves his responsibility as a Ranger, patrolling the vast land he knows so well. But he's on unfamiliar ground with Jack, and when they're stranded alone by a blizzard, unexpected desire begins to burn. Soon they're in a struggle to survive, and all these strangers have is each other.

Contains mature themes.

Emotional.

Arctic Fire was a heartfelt read. Keira Andrews really packed a lot of emotions into this quick story and had me completely invested in these characters!
Jack and Kin were both dealing with a lot of past trauma and I was glad they found each other.

Joel Leslie was a great choice to narrate this story- he brought such vulnerability to each character.

Emotional short story

Well written, thoroughly enjoyable, but I definitely wish it was longer to see the MCs navigate their relationship.

Wow

This really needed to be longer. I couldn't believe there was so much packed in to this short story. I think I have whiplash. Narration of course was fabulous.

Perfect

I don’t think I’ve ever given one of these shorter stories five stars before. I nearly always feel like it’s been rushed or something is left out. Writing a shorter format is a different skill. Not everyone can do it. But this book didn’t give me any of that. It was a whole story. It progressed naturally. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Joel Leslie, as usual, great job.

Deserves its own book

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this little ditty. Brilliantly narrated. Just enough steamy to keep you listening. Really, this story and these MCs deserve to have their own stand alone. It’s a good setup so my guess is there will be…?
