enjoyed this fast page turner and meeting the characters.
I enjoy series that weave the characters throughout each book.
Author Lisa Childs does a great job of introducing characters and stories and mingling them together.

I am uncertain how I feel about Willow the female lead. Most of the time I wanted to slap her.

I understand fear and loss but she needed to give it up and trust Luke and give him a break.

This was a good read that did keep me on the edge of my seat.

I enjoyed the characters from the series so much that the remaining titles are on my Wish List.

This was an excellent, fast-paced suspense story with the added benefit of a husband and wife finding their way back to each other. In the previous book <i>(Hotshot Hero Under Fire),</i> Luke was a secondary character. Separated from his wife, his misery is evident, and his actions are questionable. His fellow Hotshots look at him askance as evidence points to him having an affair with a fellow Hotshot's wife and the attempted murder of another. At the start of this book, we find Luke isolated from his friends, missing Willow, and questioning the state of his life. After he leaves the bar where he had dinner, Luke crashes his truck when he's forced off the road by another vehicle. When he regains consciousness, he discovers he reeks of alcohol, and the local trooper is ready to arrest him for drunk driving. It's only through the efforts of EMT Owen that Luke ends up at the hospital instead. To top matters off, he catches a glimpse of Willow, who appears to be pregnant.

After suffering two miscarriages which she blamed on the stress of Luke's job, Willow threw her husband out of their home. Then she heard the rumors of his affair and possible involvement in the attacks against Owen. Now she wonders if she ever knew the man she married. She never thought he'd be capable of such actions and questions her judgment. She also feels guilty about her treatment of him and that she hasn't told him about the baby. Willow is torn over whether to believe Luke's claims of innocence.

The suspense of this story had me glued to the pages from start to finish. Though the person who carried out the attacks on Owen was caught at the end of the previous book, there was some question as to whether a second person was involved. The public has latched onto Luke as the most likely suspect. But with this "accident" that happened to him, Luke finds a new purpose in proving his innocence. The reader also gets several sessions from the viewpoint of the real accomplice, who is determined to set Luke up to take the blame. The tension increases as several more attempts are made on Luke's life, and we see the bad guy's growing frustration and desperation. I had several possibilities as suspects though I didn't figure out the truth until shortly before Luke did. The final confrontation was a nail-biter as Luke knowingly entered a trap to save Willow. I was on the edge of my seat until it was all over.

I liked seeing Luke and Willow find their way back to each other, though I spent a fair share of the book wanting to knock their heads together. When Willow suffered two miscarriages, she shut Luke out rather than turn to him for comfort. She also couldn't see that he was grieving the loss of those babies, too. She was all over the place in her attitude toward him also - glad he was gone but mad that he left, hurt that he'd had an affair but reluctant to believe that he'd cheated on her. Even when they started working together to prove his innocence, she continued to hold on to her anger and distrust.

Meanwhile, all Luke wants is for Willow to be happy. If that means staying away from her, that's what he will do. I was frustrated with him because he walked away without trying to talk to her about his feelings and what the miscarriages meant to him. When it became evident that his accidents weren't accidents, Luke was determined to keep Willow safe.

I liked seeing Luke's steadiness chip away at Willow's fear and distrust. With some distance from the turmoil of emotions caused by the miscarriages, Willow slowly begins to see the mistakes she made. I was happy to see them finally talk about their problems. I ached for Luke as he made the only decision he thought possible to save his marriage. I cheered when Willow realized she loved Luke for who and what he was. I hope to see more of them when the series continues.

There is still a question left unanswered. Throughout the series, there have been several unexplained accidents or equipment malfunctions. Chief Hotshot Braden received a warning that someone in his group isn't who they claim to be. Is this the person causing the trouble, and why? It hurts to realize that there may be someone on his team that he can't trust, but until he finds out who it is, he can't trust any of them. I can't wait to see where this goes.

Willow is a ER nurse who just can't take the stress of having a firefighter as a husband and asks him to leave. She never expected to find herself pregnant after and witness him having a few close calls. Now its a matter of staying safe as they figure out who might be after him and why.

I love a good mystery and this book was just nonstop with the action I just couldn't put the book down. When things started to look calm enough to look into things something was happening. It was interesting seeing the lengths the person after them or him and how it would turn out. Everyone seems suspicious. Oh and before I forgot it was a bit confusing in the beginning though I feel like I fell into the middle of something when I started this book. I didn't realize at this was a apart of a series and while this book did a good job as a stand alone I really feel that a lot of the beginning confusion would've been fixed had I read the previous books. Which also leads me to saying with how this book turned out I'll defiantly be looking towards reading the previous books because if this is how the recent book turned out I'm gonna have to check it out. Overall great book highly recommend!

If Lisa Childs goal was to create two of the most unlikeable characters from the start of the book? She was successful. Luke comes across annoying, whiny and unlikeable. Willow comes in second with her lack of understanding. Losing a baby is difficult there is only so much of the blame game a reader can handle.

This isn't really a stand lone book in the Hotshot hero's series. The author does a wonderful job catching readers up fast on the other books and what happened in the previous books and why everyone is looking at him as a slime bag killer.

The story moves along quickly as readers find the author rhythm in her story telling. Lisa Child has an ability to tell a fast-paced action-packed story just not with these two characters.

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of Lisa Child Hotshot Hero on the Edge.

I haven't read the previous books in the series and felt a bit lost reading this. I feel like I should go back and read the previous books.
I didn’t connect with the main characters, Willow and Luke.
Overall, was a ok read for me but not one I loved.
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I honestly feel bad that I did not finish this book. I was so excited to read a firefighter book since I've been in the mood for a good suspense/romance book having to do with firefighter and it was just not for. I didn't get much further than chapter 1. There were too many red flags in the few sentences I read.

I really wanted to give it a chance since I do usually enjoy Harlequin book. Thank you so much Netgalley and Harlequin for the e-arc of this book.

This is a Romantic Suspense, and this is the sixth book in the Hotshot Heroes series. I had a lot of problems with this book. We were dropped in the middle of a ton of action and suspense, and I had trouble figuring out what was going on. I also had trouble connecting with any of the characters. I really hate books that have characters that just do not talk out their problems and just think the worst. Most of this book is just that. I almost DNF this book so many times. I also guessed who was doing all the bad things way before it was revealed. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
