Series: Apache Protectors: Tribal Thunder (Book 3)
When opposites attract, the sparks ignite more than they
bargained for…
Dylan Tehauno is a hotshot, an expert in preventing and
fighting forest fires. He knows that the inferno that killed a tech billionaire
was no accident -- and he suspects that he and filmmaker Meadow Wrangler were
supposed to die, too. When lawmakers identify Dylan as a prime suspect, he and
Meadow decide to find the real arsonist themselves.
Dylan and Meadow have nothing in common. He's a proud
Apache and a war hero, a self-made man. She's a rich girl with a tabloid past.
But there's no denying the heat between them. Is there more to their attraction
than physical desire? Will they survive long enough to find out?
Very good book. This book was action packed from the
beginning, and the tension rarely let up. Dylan was on the way to do a fire
inspection of a billionaire's new house when he ran across Meadow. She was
filming the house, something she'd been doing since construction started, as
part of a documentary. After a slight altercation he continued on his way, just
in time to see the house explode. As a firefighter and Hotshot, he knew he had
only moments to get back to Meadow to save her life. The intensity of the fire
scene was incredible. I could practically feel the heat and smell the smoke as
the author described Dylan's efforts to protect Meadow and himself from the
fire. The description of his actions made me feel as if I was there.
As part of the Tribal Thunder unit, Dylan is aware of the
attacks by a group of eco-terrorists (Turquoise Guardian and Eagle Warrior).
When he first meets Meadow and finds out who she is, he isn't certain if she
can be trusted. He also has a feeling that he and Meadow were not supposed to
survive the fire, a feeling borne out when they are attacked by supposed
rescuers. As he and Meadow are pursued, accused of starting the fire, they are
determined to find out the truth of what happened and who was behind it. There
are multiple twists and turns as Dylan and Meadow escape several attempts to
silence them. There were several times when I really wasn't sure how they were
going to get out of trouble and I was on the edge of my seat until they did.
I loved the relationship that grew between Dylan and
Meadow. It is definitely one of opposites attracting. Dylan is a pretty
straight arrow, a man who follows the rules and doesn't do anything that is
reckless. He's seen two of his friends fall in love, and realizes that he wants
that kind of happiness for himself. Meadow is the youngest in her family and
has been in trouble of some kind for most of her life. Many of her exploits
have been chronicled in the tabloids. Different as they are, there are sparks
that fly between them from the very beginning. Dylan finds it hard to believe
that he is drawn so completely to protect her, and that his heart so quickly
wants to make her his. But he's pretty well convinced that she would never want
to be with him. Meadow has been searching for her place in the world. I ached
for the way she felt so unloved by her family. There are some interesting
twists that are revealed as Meadow searches for the truth behind the attacks.
I loved the protectiveness that grew between Meadow and
Dylan. Both wanted what was best for the other, and believed that they were not
it. There's a sweet scene between Meadow and Dylan's mother at the end that
shows Meadow that maybe she's not such a bad person after all. I loved the
ending and seeing Meadow want to prove her love, and Dylan's ability to
understand why she feels that way.
I loved seeing characters from previous books. Carter and
Amber are still in Witness Protection. Ray is working with the hotshots and
fills in for Dylan as captain while Dylan is on the run. Jack Bear Den is there
every step of the way to try to keep Dylan and Meadow safe. I loved seeing the
lengths he went to in order to do so. FBI agent Luke Forrest is also front and
center as he works to find the terrorists while still staying within his Apache
beliefs.
