When I say I breezed through and devoured this book, I really mean it.
Wildfire is such a nice, easy read, and I actually like this book more than the first book in the Maple Hills series (Icebreaker).
One of the things I really like about Wildfire was how relatable the characters felt in this book. I didn’t necessarily got that vibe from them in Icebreaker, but I like how you can see more of the characters’ individual personalities (both from Maple Hills and those at Honey Acres) shine without the constant hype of having them go out to a club or party every single night.
I also thought the relationship between Russ and and Aurora was really well-developed. Both of them had their own sort of “baggage” before they met, and I felt that they both complimented each other as well as enjoying seeing how they can heal and move forward because of their relationship.
Though I felt there were some tiny tweaks needed for the development of some of the side plots, I had no complaints with this book.

guys i think i love shy golden retriever men......
russ 'muffin' callaghan gagged me every time he talks like babe who teach you to be that hot awkward flirt damn!! (ik it's JJ but still) i love love love how affirmative he is and he calls her sweetheart?!?! i'm a woa girlie so... that explains enough. also @ hannah grace if you're reading this what engineering does russ take exactly i need to know if he's even more hotter than he already is. now now, aurora roberts is mE u guys i'm not even joking she is so relatable and she's the overthinker who gets excited in everything and wanting to put all the love they have in one person but very picky because they don't want to heart broken? ME. i'm satisfied with the ending after all the bonding over daddy issues they did at camp lol wishing we could get more scenes of them with the camp kids!

I do not know why I did this to myself again. I mean no hate to the author but these books are just not for me. Aurora and Russ were so annoying probably more so than Nate and Stassie and thats saying something. Aurora really stressed me out when she constantly made everything about her like when Russ went to see his dad in the hospital and she got upset that he did not tell her and made it seem like he was the douchebag. I feel Russ could have been a good character if his only personality trait was being infatuated with Aurora, like please, I need characters to have more depth. The author tried to cover some really serious topics, but I don't think they were properly addressed and frankly made me uncomfortable. The same thing happened in icebreaker. The majority of the sex scenes were pointless and not used to advance the plot. I am really tired of characters always playing the victim, because it makes them less loveable and less human. The only people I would recommend this books to is people who have not been through a wattpad phase.

Absolutely loved this probably even more than I did the first one in this seriesss
Loved that for the most part any conflicts weren’t based around miscommunication and despite their issues their relationship was fairly healthy :)

A cute and simple story, great for someone wanting a light read with a mix of fluff and spice :)
Bonus points for examples of healthy communication and enforcing healthy dynamics for all kinds of relationships!
