The strong sexy women and smoking hot men who fight fires are written by a lady who knows from personal experience. A fiery page-turning read. ~~ Kat Martin, New York Times bestselling author.

Cinematically plotted in a spectacular, dangerous setting…smoldering passion where fire isn’t the ONLY heat. ~~Cherry Adair, New York Times bestselling author.

In this award-winning story, can a chance encounter on a wildfire lead to true love under a midnight sun? In the adrenaline-fueled world of wildland firefighting, Tara Waters battles flames and grief. Her dream of joining an elite hotshot crew in Montana falls beyond her reach when she’s reassigned to Alaska. A chance encounter with smokejumper Ryan O'Connor ignites more than just a spark—it erupts into a full-blown conflagration.

As Tara grapples with the aftermath of a line of duty death, Ryan becomes her anchor. Yet, behind his undeniable charm lurks a darkness that threatens to consume them both. When a sinister force sabotages Tara on the job, the flames of danger burn hotter than ever. It's a threat more perilous than any wildfire, and as Tara fights for her life, she's also fighting for a love that could be extinguished before it ignites.

In a world where survival is not only about battling flames, Tara and Ryan navigate a treacherous landscape of romance, fire, and sabotage. Can they find out who is targeting them while keeping their lives and love intact? One thing is for certain: in this deadly mix of passion and peril, the line between love and danger blurs, and only the fearless will emerge unscathed.

My real firefighting adventures when I fought Wildland Fire in the Alaskan Wilderness!


Aerial Firefighting on an Alaskan Interior Fire. The pilot helped us out with his plane, "Jaws" when our crew became trapped by a runaway fire. He dumped a load of fire retardant next to us to buy us time to scramble out of there. This red gel slows fire, making it hard to ignire vegetation once it's coated. Now Phos-Check is used. We always called it mud or slurry, as in, "Get clear, mud drop!"	After a Day on the Fireline My crew boss shot this after we'd hiked six miles from the fireline back to base camp. No roads on Alaskan Interior fires, you're either dropped off by helicopter or you hike in to the fireline and back out again, hauling all your gear and tools, like chainsaws and Pulaskis. I was so tired and hungry, my crew boss was trying to make me smile...Yeah, right, buddy.	Our Illustrious Wildland Fire Crew at the Alaska Fire Service I had the good fortune to work with a fantastic group of people from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in Alaska. Our crew consisted of people from Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Glennallen, Alaska. I had to work hard to keep up with them!	Lighting a Backburn When weather and wind cooperate, a good strategy to slow an out of control fire is to create a wide fireline, or fuel break, by removing all trees and brush, a good distance in front of the main fire. Our goal was to starve the fire of fuel, which is trees and other vegetation. When we lit the vegetation on fire, it burned back toward the main fire, slowing it so we could contain it.

Review

Paige's novel offers a uniquesetting that becomes even more engaging thanks to exhilarating action scenesand a romance that blossoms amidst the adventure. Realistic dialogue, funbanter, and passionate love scenes fuel the pleasing romance. The highlights,though, are vivid, edge-of-your-seat action scenes that prove both exciting andinformative. They mix well with the romance plot,while also giving the supporting characters time to shine.
A feel-good love story,adventurous setting, and invigorating action combine to create a fresh romancenovel that features a strong-willed yet troubled heroine, Tara, who the readercan't help but root for. -PublishersWeekly Booklife Prize

Fun, intriguing, and a joy to read

I loved Alaska Spark! The characters are fun and heartwarming, and sometimes heartbreaking. They are realistic and engaging. And the bad guys...well, you’ll have to read it to find out about them. Paige did a great job of portraying the reality of firefighting. She used her insider knowledge in a way was accessible and brought me into the story. I enjoyed the intrigue and the tension between Tara and Ryan. They are smart characters, with wonderful, surprising dialogue. I laughed out loud a couple times. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and couldn't wait to get back to it. I read all night to finish it. I'll definitely read more by Lolo Paige!

Excellent story, so full of emotion and passion. I cried real tears and I don't do that easily. It was easy to relate to the players. I really "got into" this story. There was just the right amount of steam. Very tastefully done.II recommend this book if you like an exciting, fast paced story with very believable characters and satisfying romance.

First and foremost,this is an obviously, well-researched story about Alaskan Firefighters, who clearly, fight some of the most dangerous wildfires in some of the most beautiful, yet dangerous backcountry. Additionally, this is a romance between two firefighters struggling with grief and loss associated with

the job, that often presents impossible dilemmas. Both have looked for love in the wrong people and, as such, both have trust issues. However, it is also easy to see they both are looking for a forever love-a soulmate, if you will.

Although the setting, and the extraordinarily, physically & emotionally demanding job of firefighting is at the forefront of this story, the characters are also very well developed with interesting relationship dynamics and dialogue. I found the main characters to be relatable & likable. As far as the romance, the course of the it was a bit choppy, & slow-moving, and the relationship angst was a bit overdone. As such, when the relationship became intimate, I found the description of the so-called combustible, passion, immature and lacking. It is very difficult to describe mature, contemporary sexuality & attraction in flowery, metaphorical prose. It just didn’t work for orgasms to be described as rainbows. So, there was definite eye-rolling with the descriptions of sexual encounters, and that definitely detracted from the intensity and believability of the romance. Otherwise, this was an interesting read & gave an intriguing look into life as an Alaskan firefighter.

Lolo Paige writes a very satisfying romance while incorporating details that bring alive the challenges of fighting forest fires in the remote Alaskan wilderness as only someone who has "been there, done that" could write.

As far as romance go, this was pretty good.

Good characters, good story line, awareness created of struggles for women in traditional male jobs. Packed with adventure, romance and kept me hooked. I liked how the two main characters evolved during the book and how the other characters were introduced.

I did get a little frustrated with the h as she kept quiet for a little too long and could have tried harder to make herself heard. Loved the H.

There was a little too much firefighting-jargon, but it did not take anything away from the book, but I do admit that I skimmed a bit over those parts.

All in all, I enjoyed it very much and will read this author again.

Two firefighters who are dealing with past trauma must fight wilderness fires while trying to see if the fire building between them can turn into something more.
This was a really good book. It had sexy firemen and women, action, angst, bad guys, sexism, friendship bonds and even cute animals. The main characters are well written and show growth. I genuinely like the crew and other characters introduced during the book. I hate the bad guy like I am supposed to. The fire fighting scenes are great. I feel every cough and drop of sweat. The plot had a few twists and turns while keeping the romance front and center. I read this book in two days. It was hard to put down.
I didn't like the colors of the orgasm. That part left me a bit cold and disappointed but didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of the book.

Alaska Spark sparks Interest

Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2021

What a book, and what a story! Lolo, the writer, draws you in, not only into her heroines' love life, but it makes you wonder how she could know so much about fire fighting - until you learn that she was one in her 'former life.' There are weak spots in her book, but for an ordinary reader, it doesn't matter. The story flows - and since there is going to be another book and the story continues, the "Spark" developing into an "Inferno," every reader of the first book will want to read it! I not only learned a lot of the danger of fires, especially wildfires, but it was a spellbinding and entertaining read.

Fast-paced, exciting and page-turning.

I was gripped from the first page of this book which is a roller-coaster of a read, taking in firefighting and two uncertain lovers. The heroine has been engaged to a firefighter before and found he was playing around. She doesn't feel like falling for someone who seems to shy away from the commitment word. The hero falls for her rather heavily and although up until now has been a player, he begins to wonder if settling for one might be his answer to happiness. There's also a rather nasty villain. As you'd expect, the hero and heroine find their way through the smoke and a few nail-biting adventures to true love, and the villain gets his come-uppance in a most satisfactory way. If you're looking for an exciting and page-turning read with satisfactory characters who are well-portrayed, then go for it. I shall be excited to see the next book in the series. My thanks to the author for all her hard work.

Alaska Spark by Lolo Paige
Angela joined the smoke jumpers and while training caught up with Gunnar, one of the instructors. They had met briefly years before.
I loved this. It was dramatic and intense but also really romantic and a little steamy.
I loved Angela as she was a go getter who knew what she wanted and worked to get it which worked for Gunnar.
Their chemistry was simplistic and strong. Which only added to the story. This war a great story and only makes me want to read Heroes with Heart more now. Great book!
This was an ARC and this is my honest review.
