Ratings and reviews

Another awesome story about the hot smokejumpers of Glacier Creek! After the death of her smokejumper husband Russ, Jacqui Edwards left Glacier Creek to deal with her loss away from the scrutiny of the crew of jumpers. Now she's back and although she first thought she would resign her position working with the guys she finds herself very much wanting to stay! Vin Kingston was Russ's best friend and he's determined to watch over Jacqui for him. This wild and crazy attraction to the woman was something that just couldn't be acted on. Jacqui is determined to move on with her life and she plans on doing that with Vin. She's just as determined to break through his resistance! Definitely a book I recommend.

The best way to describe Scorch is real. There's emotion that's heartbreaking, people searching for answers and guilt that seems to never end. Ms. Collins has crafted a story full of flawed people as they journey toward healing and starting again. At no time, do Jacqui and Vin have an easy road ahead but they come out stronger on the other side because of it.

This was a very emotional and hot story. Jacqui is back after grieving the loss of her husband. Vin is her friend, and one of her husband's smoke jumpers. There is plenty of emotional drama in the battle between loyalty to the dead, and admitting current feelings and chemistry. I was brought nearly to tears several times while reading this story. Wonderful lead characters that I got way too attached to.
