Flare Up Boston Fire Book 6 eBook Shannon Stacey Reviews

Sexy firefighters are always fun to read about, and this book was no exception! Shannon Stacey definitely knows how to turn up the heat (pun intended!) and get readers excited about the buff, alpha men in this series. The relationship between our hero and heroine was well developed but largely off screen, so to speak. I felt like a prologue was needed in order to help the reader understand the couple's past sooner. It took me a while to understand what exactly had happened between them and why they were in love. Since the love was already there at the start of the book, I didn't get to see the romance bloom, which is half the fun.

The last person Grant Cutter expects to carry out of a burning building is his ex-girlfriend, Wren Everett, but that is exactly who he finds in his arms. Thinking Wren had left Boston five months ago when she abruptly ended their relationship, Grant is stunned, confused, and hurt. As she recovers with mutual friends, it soon comes to light the real reason why she left him, and Grant must reconcile his heartbreak with his protective instincts when it comes to Wren. Their relationship may have ended, but his feelings for her never died. Now he must decide if their love is worth a second chance.

Both characters were engaging and unique, and I loved seeing their interactions with each other. However, as mentioned above, having the romance develop prior to the book's first page made it hard to really connect with them as a couple. Instead of showing their love develop, we were told about it, and that takes some of the enjoyment out of the romance. Wren's reasoning in leaving Grant was also confusing - here you have this strong firefighter surrounded by other strong men, but you don't trust that he can protect both himself and you from your ex? It was eventually explained, and the reader starts to understand where Wren's fear is coming from, but it was a little too late for me. I enjoyed seeing them fall in love again at Grant's parents' house, which was probably my favorite part of the book. That's where the emotions really flowed from the pages, and I could feel their love. I wish the rest of the book had more of that. The book seems like it could be enjoyed as a standalone, but I suspect it may have been better had I read the previous books. Maybe I would have felt more connected to the characters had I done so.

I have read Shannon Stacey before, and she is consistently a solid read. While this book wasn't my favorite, it is still one I would definitely recommend. It certainly sparks my interest in reading the other books in the series!

**I received a free copy via NetGalley and this is my honest review.**
The last thing Grant Cutter expected when his crew is called out to an apartment house fire, is to run into his ex, Wren Everett, who basically ghosted on him five months ago. On the verge of proposing, Wren's sudden disappearance without any explanation given, really gutted him. So, he's not exactly sure how to feel when he sees her again. All he knows is Wren needs his help, and he still cares enough about her to offer it. But can they get over the hurt her leaving caused to try and build together that life left behind?

Five months ago, when Wren Everett's buried past seemed to catch up with her, the only thing she could think to do, to keep everyone she loved safe - including Grant - was run. Being totally in love with Grant, Wren couldn't run far, and when he rescues her from a fire in her apartment building, she's brought to the realization how much she's missed him and wants to start over. But the issues in her past are still seemingly unresolved. With all the hurts between them still fresh, can Grant and Wren even start over?

I think it's kind of essential to have read Under Control, the previous book in the series, prior to starting this one because that book, secondarily, gives readers the starting conflict between Wren and Grant. You could definitely pick up this book not having read the previous and enjoy it just fine, but I think there's something said for getting the background and seeing where Grant is coming from when Wren leaves him without a trace.

With that in mind, however, I really liked how the contemplation in Grant and Wren's relationship. I mean, seriously, how do you move forward with someone when you discover they kept a huge, and life-altering, piece of their past from you? Further more, the idea that somewhere in Wren's mind she didn't feel like she could come to Grant with the problem that he would be able to help her solve it, so she ran. It's not exactly that she thought him incapable of offering help, it's the knee-jerk reaction of her past finding her in her present. The Pavlovian signal in her brain just telling her to leave quickly or the consequences will be the same as before.

I thought it was interesting to see this couple work through these issues, and essentially, grow and move forward almost like starting a new relationship. It was interesting to see how Grant and Wren really fit together. In the previous book, you don't see them with that one-on-one time they get when they become the central focus in their own story. So to see them together, you know that they really feel right together.

If nothing else, this series has really been about families and the interconnectedness between the families we're born into and those you make for yourself. There's a lot of people looking out for Grant, that don't want to see history repeat itself in regards to his relationship with Wren. But I really liked that, even though the majority of these people are Grant's friends first, they weren't combative or dismissive with Wren's side of the story. You could see how the hurt of Wren leaving went beyond just Grant's feelings, it effected various people around her, showing her how important she is and how much of an impact she has. It's something that Wren hasn't felt for a very long time, stemming from the issue in her past.

It all circles around to the fact that Flare Up really wraps up the series. We see each pair from previous books make some kind of connection or appearance in Grant and Wren's story. Grant was the last hold out from Engine 59 / Ladder 37 in regards to finding his Happily Ever After. Now that everyone's settled it's time to close shop. It's been an enjoyable time. Can't wait to see what's next.
