Reviews with content warning for Abandonment - Wildfire

So sweet and cozy! Less heavy than Icebreaker, but still handles sensitive topics with care. A perfect continuation of the Maple Hills pack, with the happy ending you expect and the characters deserve. Russ and Rory's individual and combined journeys are both approachable and relatable, with nothing getting so far between them you start to fear.

Since I haven't seen this book all over BookTok and Bookstagram, I'm assuming it's not as popular as "Icebreaker."

Based on my experience with "Icebreaker," I went into this book with low expectations. I thought it was alright. The characters were flat, and I struggled to connect with either Aurora or Russ. I just found that I didn't really care about them or what they were going through. The plot was fine. I think the pacing was a little slow as I got bored with this book at times. The writing style was okay.

I really enjoyed this book especially the wholesome moments between the two main characters and the natural progression in their relationship.

Personally at times the smut got a bit too much and distracted from the character development so I did end up skimming a few of those chapters but still enjoyed the story overall

Russ and Aurora are so precious. Their dynamic of the outgoing social girl paired the shy and timid guy was to die for. I loved how they had a similar dynamic with their family and were able to bond and support each other through those moments of vulnerability. Also, Blythe’s sense of humor was hilarious. She had me cackling on more than one occasion. Random but much needed note: Fish and her babies made my heart explode!
