MY REVIEW:
Flashback is the third installment of the exciting Chasing Fire: Montana series created by bestselling authors Susan May Warren and Lisa Phillips. Although it works perfectly well as a standalone, the novel also has a continuing storyline that benefits from having read the previous books in the series.
A dangerous wildfire is approaching and the campsite has been ordered to evacuate but two young boys are missing. Allie Monroe refuses to leave until the boys are found and hopes that her search and rescue dog will help her find them. Unfortunately, because she is still mourning the death of her previous SAR dog, Allie has not bonded with her current dog. To make it even more difficult, Dakota Masterson has joined her search and because Allie is aware of his past, she is not certain she can trust him.
Flashback is filled with danger and action almost from the very first page until its conclusion. The imagery is so vivid that the reader can almost hear the approaching fire and feel its heat. Other complications along the way increase the danger level and add to the suspense. Flawed characters experienced spiritual growth as they learned to forgive themselves as well as how to accept God’s forgiveness and help.
This series continues to get better and I look forward to reading it all. I hope you will also.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
SECRETS. BETRAYAL. SACRIFICE.
THIS TIME, THEY’RE NOT JUST FIGHTING FIRE.
An original series created by bestselling authors Susan May Warren and Lisa Phillips.
He’s the last person she wants to see…
Allie Monroe is desperate for a fresh start. Grieving the loss of her first SAR dog, she’s gone to Montana to train her new K9, Scout. And when two boys go missing during a wildfire, she’s brought on board to find them.
But the one person tasked to help her is the last person she wants to see—arrogant and dangerous Dakota Masterson.
It’ll take exactly this man to save everything she loves.
Former SWAT officer Dakota Masterson is a new man after confronting the demons of his past, including his first unfortunate meeting with Allie. But admittedly, she’s the last person he thought he’d see again…or have to work with. Still, maybe this is his chance to prove to her that he’s a different man—because she’s the one woman he can’t seem to forget.
However, with the flames closing in, finding the boys might mean confronting the painful memories of their short-lived relationship. Then, Allie’s dog goes missing, suddenly someone is shooting at them, and they find themselves in a race against a wildfire and a threat that wants them dead. More, when Allie goes missing, Dakota’s past—and his issues—come roaring back.
It’ll take the SWAT officer in him to save the day, but will it cost them a future they both long for?
Get ready to be swept away in a world where survival, redemption, and second chances collide in book three of the Chasing Fire: Montana series.
