Burning Ambition by Amy Knupp
4.0

This is the fourth book in The Texas Firefighters Series. Like the ones before ti Ms. Knupp writes a detailed, heartfelt story. This time involving the Chief's daughter and first female firefighter on the San Amaro Island Fire Department, Faith and Captain Joe Mendoza.

A few interesting notes:
1. Joe Mendoza is 40 and Faith is 26 but I never felt the age difference.

2. Joe and Faith wanted each other but knew they shouldn't/couldn't be together, very Romeo & Juliet and well written.

3. I liked seeing the characters from the other books but it had been a while so I almost forgot who was who. But I didn't think I needed to read the other books to understand them.

4. You never find out if Joe got the job.

I read through this book in an afternoon. I didn't want to put it down and was quite pleased with Joe realizing that he can have the career and the woman. His step-brothers were a hoot too.
