Smoke & Mirrors by Skye Jordan

4.0

Really enjoying this sexy new firefighter Forged in Fire series! Skye Jordan always delivers consuming, quick reads with a great balance of heart and heat, laced with a smidge of humor and plenty of feels. Loved watching Logan and Isabel try to find their way in this second chance story between two childhood friends, figuring out how to navigate a world full of smoke and mirrors.

Logan is distrustful, understandably given how he’s been burned in the past by those who should love him. At first, he’s quite judgmental, frequently second guessing Isabel and her intentions and really creating a push-pull obstacle between them since often assumes the worst in others. Isabel really spoke to me- she’s full of heart, a stoic giver. Her character arc felt the most gratifying to me- watching her find her voice and accepting her own value and prioritizing her own needs. They had a sweet and steamy chemistry, and by the end I was really rooting for them both. And, still loving our little family of firehouse inhabitants, the people and pets that find their way into this close knit group of firefighters.

Looking forward to more from this series!
