Product Description
Firefighter paramedic Mallory "Ice" James commands a crew of smokejumpers—twenty women and men who eat together, sleep together, and parachute into the face of raging forest fires together. Discipline and teamwork mean the difference between life and death on the line, and she's earned her reputation as cool and controlled in the face of danger. "Hot Shot" Jace Russo never met a rule she wouldn't break and doesn't plan to stop just because the woman setting the terms is drop-dead gorgeous and hotter than the blazes they're supposed to be dousing. Mallory and Jace may not like each other much, but lust isn't something either can control—and they soon discover ice burns as fiercely as flame.

Firestorm - A First Responders Novel, Radclyfe,
By Bunny (Canada) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Firestorm (Paperback)
I really like the first responders series. The jacket says:"Firefighter paramedic Mallory "Ice" James commands a crew of smokejumpers - twenty women and men who eat together, sleep together, and parachute into the face of raging fires together - and she has thirty days to whip the rookies into shape. Discipline and teamwork mean the difference between life and death on the line, and she's earned her reputation as cool and controlled in the face of danger. Mallory isn't happy when "Hotshot" Jac Russo shows up unannounced for boot camp along with a reputation for being trouble. Jac is none too pleased about her cold reception, even if the new boss is drop-dead gorgeous and hotter than the blazes they're supposed to be dousing. Mallory and Jac may not like each other much, but lust isn't something either can control - and they soon discover ice burns as fiercely as flame."

Not up to par,
By Jonathan Livingston Seagull - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Firestorm (Paperback)
I've read all of Radclyffe's novels, and Firestorm was definitely lackluster in comparison. The plot was extremely weak, the characters not terribly well developed, and, though there was sexual tension, the sex scenes fell far short of what I've come to expect from Radclyffe. For a book entitled "Firestorm," this one didn't deliver much fire on several levels.

Disappointing,
By DKew "DKew" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Firestorm (Paperback)
I am an avid Radclyffe fan. I have all of her books and a collection of over 400 lesbian novels. This book was very disappointing because it had a very weak plot, not much character development and a rushed feeling to the story. In most Radclyffe fiction she builds the characters and the storyline slowly to draw you in. This one lacked substance and I felt as if someone else wrote it. Her stories seem to be getting shorter with each book published. As I said in my title - Disappointing. I would skip this one and spend your money on another Radclyffe selection. She has so many better ones.

Disappointing,
By Jae - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Firestorm (Paperback)
"Firestorm" is the second book in Radyclyffe's First Responder series.30-year-old Mallory "Ice" James is the captain of a smokejumper crew and about to train a new group of rookies. A year ago, she lost two of her people in a fire and she's determined to keep control this year. Under no circumstances does she want to have even friendly feelings for another firefighter. Her well-ordered life is interrupted when a new rookie is transferred without her knowledge. Jac Russo is the daughter of a senator and determined to prove herself. When they meet, there's an instant attraction, but not necessarily an instant liking of each other. Technically, the book is well-written - good editing and the head hopping is so controlled that it's not annoying. But I didn't feel close to any of the characters. The ending felt rushed, for example, the situation with Jac's father was never resolved. I also expected to have them fight a fire and Mallory overcoming her self-doubts after losing two of her men - but it didn't happen. If you have never read one of Radclyffe's books before, I suggest you read "Safe Harbor" or "Turn Back Time," not "Firestorm." |
