About this ebook

“WOW WOW WOW!!!!! Talk about being captivated by a story from beginning to end… This series is absolutely FABULOUS!”—Reader review

She cost him his career. He's got no plans to give her a second chance.

 

Firefighting is everything for Penn Griffin—his job, his family, and his friends. When a hurricane roars toward San Amaro Island, he’s called on a rescue and ends up face-to-face with Nadia, the gorgeous but frustrating woman he went on one interrupted date with months ago. Now, in one fell swoop, she’s altered his life irrevocably.

 

Nadia Hamlin eats, sleeps, and breathes her career at her family’s beachside hotel. As the storm approaches, she thinks nothing of making a last-minute stop at the hotel on the way out of town—until it’s too late. Thanks to her careless decision, Penn’s beloved career is over.

 

Nadia wants to make it up to him. Penn wants nothing to do with her or her well-intentioned “help.” But the attraction that once sparked between them isn’t easily extinguished, and soon Nadia wants more than her career—she wants a second chance with Penn. Can he find his way toward forgiveness and acceptance and a future with Nadia?

 

Up in Flames is a stand-alone novel with a happy ever after in the Island Fire series.

Ratings and reviews

I hate leaving anything but amazing reviews but the book was... eh at best. I wish it was better, so much so that I pushed through and read to the end. I'm not saying there wasn't good moments but it had so much more potential and pretty much just keep falling short when there were openings for an awesome story. I didn't want to do 2 stars because I'm not that person but giving 3 is hard and doesn't reflect how I truly feel.

Once again, Ms Knupp gives us a story that is not only touching , but also thought provoking. This book belongs to Firefighter Penn Griffin and Nadia Hamlin, a career gal who breaths and lives for her job in her parent’s hotel. After Nadia first cancels a date, and later left in the middle of their second date, Penn is not a fan of Nadia. He sees her as someone more interested in work and driven by money. A hurricane hits the island, and because she’s determined to get some paperwork from the hotel, Nadia realizes she has waited too long to get off San Amaro Island. When she tries to leave , she gets stuck and calls for assistance. Penn arrives to help. Little did either of them know that in an instance , both their lives would be changed forever. Penn is hurt and now his life will never be the same. Nadia’s guilt has her reaching out to Penn. Needless to say , he is angry and in pain. The storyline was engaging and the characters complex. But mostly, it was a reminder that life can change in an instant. That life throws us curveballs, but it’s how we react to these obstacles that’s what is important. Do we have the courage to overcome them, or do we let them make make us bitter and be a shell of whom we were? Another great addition to this wonderful series. I voluntarily read this advance copy. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

I really enjoyed reading up in flame 🔥 and the short story slowed burn. I would recommend 👌
