    About this audiobook

    As a motorcycle club member and firefighter, Ian Walsh is used to riding the line between the good guys and the bad. He may owe the club his life, but his heart rests with his fire station brothers . . . and with the girl he's loved since they were kids, Rory Sorenson. Ian would do anything for Rory. He'd die for her. Kill for her. Defend her to his last breath-and he may just have to.

    Every con in the Rockies knows Rory is the go-to girl for less-than-legal firearms, and for the past few years, she's managed to keep the peace between dangerous factions by remaining strictly netural. But when she defends herself against a brutal attack, Rory finds herself catapulted into the center of a gang war, with only Ian standing between her and a threat greater than either of them could have imagined.

    Contains mature themes.

      This is the second novel in the Rocky Mountain Search & Rescue series and stars Ian Walsh, who is a firefighter and a member of a Motorcycle Club, and Rory Sorenson who own the local gun shop.Rory was raised by survivalist parents who got more and more paranoid until they took their own lives. Rory was raised in a hidden bunker under the gun shop. She's never had friends or contact with anyone who wasn't a customer of the gun shop. She has a secret, less-than-legal selection of arms in the back room and is used to dealing with the scary leader of the MC. When she starts having trouble with someone trying to break in, Ian steps in to protect her. Seems like he's had a crush on her since her met her when she was twelve. And since Ian could pose for any calendar featuring hot firefighters, Rory has had a crush on him for just as long.When the two of them end up killing intruders in the gun shop who are members of the MC, they run afoul of the leader of the club. Ian is having other issues too as he is being framed for the murder of the headless corpse found in the first book. This was a great romance. I loved the way to two characters interacted. I also loved that the heroine was cranky and socially inept. The action in this one was fast-paced and suspenseful. If there were clues toward the solution of the mystery set up in the first book beyond the fact that someone was trying to frame Ian for the crime, I missed them. I'll need to keep reading to find out who murdered the guy in the reservoir. Along the way I also expect great romances.

      Another fun romance from Katie Ruggle.

      Rory owns the local gun shop, inherited from her parents along with a hidden bunker and a ready-for-the-zombie-apocalypse lifestyle. Ian Walsh is a firefighter, part of the local ice dive rescue team and a member of the local motorcycle club.

      They've each had secret crushes for each other since childhood. And once they finally act on their crushes, the romance is really sweet.

      Lots of crazy twists and turns. After reading a few of her books, this author usually has some dangerous mystery/suspense to keep things interesting, and this book was true to form.

      I received a copy of Fan the Flames from the publisher, Sourcebooks Casablanca, in exchange for this review. If you’re just encountering my reviews for the first time, let’s get one thing straight, this doesn’t impact my reviews in the least. I’m way too opinionated for that.Today’s review is all about Fan the Flames, the second book in Katie Ruggle’s Search and Rescue series, which takes place in the Rocky Mountains and it surrounds the good folks who comprise the search and rescue personnel of the small town of Simpson, Colorado. In this instalment, we’ve got firefighter-biker Ian Walsh and oddball gun shop owner Rory Sorenson and more firebug murder mystery and Rory and Ian’s own personal drama coming to the table.The murder mystery story arc from Hold Your Breath is continued in Fan the Flames with Ian being framed for the murder of Lou's floater and Rory and Ian spend a lot of their time together trying to prove Ian's innocence. And trying to figure out what is going on with the repeated breaking and entering at her shop.We know Ian from the series’ previous book, Hold Your Breath, but we’re just meeting Rory for the first time in Fan the Flames. And she is probably my favourite thing about Fan the Flames. She is the weirdest person ever. From her strange upbringing, her parents' mysterious demise, her love of closets, and I could truly wax poetic about this woman. Rory knows how to disassemble and reassemble any firearm on the market blindfolded but she has absolutely no clue what to do with the guy she's been in love with for the past thirteen years. Rory has two friends in the world, her german shepherd mix, Jack, and Ian, so I'm so excited for her when Lou just sort of forces her friendship on her like "we're friends now, you're just going to have to deal with it". We all need a friend like Lou, especially us awkward weirdlings.Ian is the definite pursuer in this story. He knows he wants Rory, he's always wanted Rory, and now that he's seeing his Search and Rescue friends have a happily ever after, he's wanting his. He's both a member of Simpson's Fire Department and the motorcycle gang he grew up in, which places him in the oddest position, since he works side-by-side with law enforcement at times. Ian is a pretty sweet guy, in my opinion, but unlike Rory, we don't get a lot of his story. We meet his friends and his dad and see those interactions and we get all the emotions he has for Rory. But that's about it. I would have loved to have seen more backstory for him.While I loved Rory and Ian's story, I felt things were relatively sedate, I think that's the word I'm hunting for. There's this sense of urgency lying underneath the entire story but it never truly comes to fruition. The real 'action' of the story is rushed and easily negated compared to Ms Ruggle's other works I've read. I did enjoy the takedown in this one, (heyyy) but, again, I kept waiting for the perilous theme music to start playing in my head and nothing. Nada. Zip. Unlike my other experiences with her writing, I was not on the edge of my seat during any part of this book.I did, however, have several laugh out loud moments with the cast. I love that Rory and Lou become fast friends because every weirdling needs a bestie and I will go down with that friendship, y'all. Ian's best friend is 'Soup' (that's his firehouse name, not his actual name, but even I'm going to call him Soup for all eternity) and if Soup doesn't get a story of his own, I will be seriously disappointed.Overall, I think I'm rating Fan the Flames as 3 stars, simply because of Rory and the sweetness of the romance. Outside of interacting with Rory, Ian's story was pretty bland and I really expected more for him. Also! sexytime flames, I'll award 2 flames. So if you're looking for something with some sex but not something overpowering the rest of the book, here you go! I have the rest of the series to check out so stay tuned for more reviews!
