Smoking Hot

Jo Davis pens another scorcher in Line Of Fire. Its another compelling story of the men and woman of Station Five Firefighters. Tommy Skylar's life changed dramatically when his brother Donny was killed in the war. Tommy lost all interest in his possible NFL career and turned his focus to being a top notch fireman. He has struggled with his life choices and even now isn't sure he is in the right place for him. When Tommy becomes hurt on the job he lands at his favorite nurses ER table. Shea Ford hasn't shown much interest in Tommy but he is bound and determined to change her mind. Nurse Shea Ford was badly hurt in her past and his gun shy around strong athletic men. Tommy sets all of her senses on edge and she fights her attraction to him. But getting to know him she realizes he is nothing like the man from her past. Their relationship grows and becomes deeper then either could have imagined. Nevertheless there is an enemy out there that will stop at nothing to tear these newly lovers apart. When Tommy is caught in the middle can their love overcome this obstacle? Line Of Fire is explosive, you feel like you are right there on the front lines fight the fires with these brave men and woman. Tommy and Shea's relationship develops at a beautiful pace. Their relationship with each other and their friends at depth and another layer to a wonderful book. I am so looking forward to the Captains book from Fire Station Five.

Line of Fire

Pretty boy Tommy Skyler's down home manners and irresistible charm hide a hidden pain. He is one of the most attractive men from Station 5, but he doesn't let it go to his head because Tommy wants to make a difference and he isn't sure being a firefighter is what he wants to do for the rest of his life. The woman of his dreams often refuses to give him the time of day, however, things change in an instant when a work related accident puts him in the hospital and under the care of the one woman he wants but can't have - Shea Ford. Shea is a nurse. She protects her heart by allowing no one close - not even the man she desires and craves all the time - Tommy Skyler. When an accident leaves Tommy a changed man, Shea no longer is able to pretend she feels nothing. And so she takes a chance on her firefighter, and in his arms the world and all her worries seem to go away. Just as Shea and Tommy fall in love, an unknown presence has Tommy in his sights. With just each other to rely on Tommy and Shea's love has to be enough to keep them alive. Grab a fan and settle in for one heck of a smoking hot read. Tommy, while young, is mature and knows what he wants. He is sexy, yet grounded and for me, that made him all the more attractive. Shea took me a bit longer to like. I think it was her indecisiveness concerning Tommy. I wanted to yell at her more than once to hurry and take a chance on this loveable man or I would. Fiery hot love scenes and a look inside the twisted mind of a killer makes Line of Fire stand out. Add in the behind the scenes look at the other characters and I could read this book over and over!

5 Hearts from TRS!

Throughout this novel, the fourth in Dee's The Firefighters of Station Five series, the reader will find themselves riveted to the pages, unable to let go. This is a story that has every thing I love in a good book. Endearing characters, superb continuity, strong research, smooth dialogue, and is so oh-so-sexy that you'll need to your own fire doused. It is deeply emotional and you might need a tissue for this one. The action is exciting, thrilling and edge-of-your-seat, nail-biting drama. Can this novel be read on it's own? Definitely. But you won't want to miss the others in the series starting with Trial By Fire, Under Fire and Hidden Fire. They are all so very different yet together they build a larger picture that encompasses the dynamics of the team, which I particularly found interesting. It made this story and the others feel more than fiction but a vivid snapshot of the lives of the firefighters and those they love. I'm eagerly anticipating the next book. I can't wait. I hate waiting. - Abi

Hotter then a five alarm fire!

Tommy Skyler was the star quarterback of his football team with dreams of going to the NFL but a family tragedy put his career in another direction. Tommy may be the youngest of Station Five, but he knows what he wants and he wants Shea Ford. BADLY. Shea is very attracted to Tommy but thinks he may be too young for forever. Thinking she may be better off with Prescott the city manager of their town and a seemingly ok, if not boring guy. Seemingly is the operative word. Things change when Tommy gets hurt and Shea realizes the depths of her feelings for him. But things change even more with the growing trend of buildings being destroyed for unknown reasons that leads to at least one murder. LINE OF FIRE by Jo Davis is the latest in her popular Station Five series and in my opinion the next one cannot get here fast enough. Tommy, Shea and the secondary characters are the type of people that you can imagine hanging with on a weekend and have you care about them almost as much as the main characters. The action is fast paced and will have you holding your breath and hoping that the unthinkable didn't really happen. The love scenes will have you getting something cold to drink inside of a freezer. Even though LINE OF FIRE is part of a series it can be read as a standalone, but will have you running back to store to get the rest in the series. Barb Hicks

xciting Line of Fire

When his brother a marine died in combat, University of Alabama All American quarterback Tommy Skyler quit playing football though he had a promising pro career. Instead as homage to his late sibling he decided to become a first responder so he joined the fire department. He is assigned to work at Station Five. Tommy is attracted to nurse Shea Ford, an older woman who rejects his forward pass attempts as she feels he is too young for her. When he is injured during a high story scaffolding rescue mission, they meet up at the hospital. She shocks him when she agrees to go out with him. She enjoys her time with Tommy and him with her. However, after suffering another on the job injury at a warehouse fire caused by an arsonist, Tommy ends their relationship upsetting Shea who has fallen in love with the younger firefighter. Depressed as his second career firefighting appears over but also missing the woman he loves, Tommy begins to believe someone wants to end his relationship with Shea and collateral deaths are acceptable The latest Firefighters of Station Five (see Under Fire and Hidden Fire) romantic suspense is loaded with plenty of action as the heroic first responders fight fires, investigate arson, and mount rescues. The return of recurring firefighters and their loved ones add to the sense of danger as each risk their lives. The lead couple is a likable pairing, but the age issue is never delved into beyond Shea's rationale not to date Tommy. Still, fans of the Station Five saga will enjoy the exciting Line of Fire.
