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.

This book was fun and cute. The more serious topics/traumas were similar between the MFC and MMC. This at times was great to show how people with similar issues/trauma can support each other. This did also cause some lulls in the story because there wasn't a lot of diversity with their issues. If you're looking for an easy summer story with occasional drama then this would most likely be a book for you.
The way the toxic parents were handled did seem realistic and how the characters moved through the issues/progressed were stressful at times, If you've experienced these similar issues, but also relieving around any resolutions.
Happy to see the continuation of the characters from Icebreaker also making appearances.

I’m a huge hopeless romantic who loves alllll the cheese. However, this book was just a little too gushy for me. Also, I got lost a few times trying to figure out if we were jumping days, weeks, or just later that same day? It was hard to keep track which was odd to me for a rom com. I really enjoyed Ice Breaker but I feel like it had a little more tension between the characters, this was a little too insta lovey for me.

I ADORED this book - Russ and aurora are the absolute cutest together ugh. The found family in this series is simply top tier. The dogs and little kids in this book were SO cute too and the summer camp setting I just adored it all - truly a comfort book.
Honey Acres really feels like home - I read this in the middle of the bleak British winter and it still made me feel like it was summer.
Hannah Grace has such a deep understanding of her characters and how and why they behave the way they do - it makes it really feel like you’re reading something REAL. The epilogue really made me tear up a lil.
I highly recommend this book and the entire Maple Hills series and I can’t wait for Henry and Halle’s book. Honestly I’d read anything Hannah Grace puts out in a heartbeat because these reads are just some of the cosiest ever and I want to keep getting lost in the stories of these characters forever!! Definitely recommend.

A little too long, but still very enjoyable!
Hannah Grace knows how to write characters with a personality and a life outside of their romantic relationship, which I really appreciate. The relationships in both Wildfire and Icebreaker are so healthy (a litlle too sappy sometimes but it's okay) and we need more of that in rom-coms.
The camp setting was fun, a nice escape to summer as I was reading in the middle of a cold january.

I'm loving this trend that Hannah Grace is starting in romance where we get heroes who are partly what we're used to — they're buff, they're protective, they love dirty talk — but they're also just such sweethearts! We get men who actually care for their women from the start, who are vocal about caring for and wanting to be with them, heroes that don't turn into absolute dick heads the moment the 75% drama hits, heroes that are self-aware and talk to their friends about the issues they're having. They're not the sweet guys the heroine eventually leaves for the more interesting, hotter bad boy, they are the interesting hot man but without being an asshole.
And on the other hand, we also get heroines who genuinely take no shit, who aren't 110% nice and meek at all times, who know how to stand up for themselves and just act like girls in their twenties — they even go so far as to not be virgins and like having sex, god forbid ;)
So excited to read more from this author!
