Ooooh I love CJ and Lennon. It was just the right combo of romance and suspense, which is exactly what I love and exactly what I come to Maggie Gates for. I don't honestly have much to say other than being shocked by some of the twists, but again that's what I come to MG for 🥰
Lennon has spent the last few years trying to outrun her past and thinks she's finally found a new start in Texas as the Chef at the Griffith Brothers' Ranch. Except in the days before she starts her new job, she inadvertently hooks up with Carson Griffith at a bar. But this turns them into adversaries and this only escalates as pieces of Lennon's past show up at the ranch. That is until Lennon runs to the last person she thought she'd run to for help.
The thing that I found really interesting in the romance plot between Lennon and Carson is that they both have to override their self-sabotaging habits in order to not be enemies and ultimately to be together. Sometimes there might be one character with the penchant for self-sabotage, but I couldn't think of another book where both are doing this.
I always know a series has been great when I'm sad to finish the last book in the series, and that's how I felt about reading Fire Line. Overall this series was fantastic and I appreciated how different the vibes are in the third book. This one has a lot more angst and suspense than the first two. For those of you who like Devney Perry or Catherine Cowles, this might be up your alley!

Ms. Gates continues to amaze me. I am not exaggerating when I say I read this book in one sitting. CJ and Lennon were simmering with chemistry and passion. A good amount of suspense, it didn't consume but lingered. No 3rd act which is a complete winner in my book.
So many qoutes!
Hands down... one of the best epilogues ever!
It's not where you're born or who you're related to, Len. It's who you choose. And I choose you.

“Sometimes you get to cut the fire line to stop the blaze, and sometimes you have to walk through it to get out of the heat.”
The final book in the Griffith Brothers series was a bit of a let down. So much of this book just felt forced. It starts with your standard workplace romance trope that I love, a one night stand then the next day they realize she works at his ranch. Carson is angry at his family about the lodge and the restaurant that's on his land and takes it out on Lennon. Lennon is just trying to get by and stay outta trouble, and never ever trust anyone.
The two quickly get over their issues, too quickly honestly. Yes, they are given the little Fire Line speech, about how with a wildfire you gotta cut a fire line to save what you can, but you still have to give something up. With a fire, it's the area you're gunna let burn out, for both of them it's their pride. Lennon also ends up with a "I didn't have anywhere else to go" moment, but again it felt rushed and forced. We get a lot of time jumps in this book that aren't always laid out clearly.
I did enjoy the cow named Kevin though.
