4 Stars On Fire!
Having never read the other "Magnolia" books by Hale, I really enjoyed this one. I will probably go back and read the others, since I liked this one so much. Hale has a way of bringing Eve and Carter to life. Eve, a fire fighter and Carter, a Special Agent, have great chemistry. Eve stumbles upon an arsonist and becomes his next target. "He positioned himself in the trees and watched the house, eager for the first sign of smoke. His arousal was heightened by the anticipation." The story was more than just romance, and had great substance. Hale writes well and found herself a new fan. I look forward to reading more of her books.
