REVIEW: Trial by Fire by Jo Davis

Sandy M's review of Trial by Fire (The Firefighers of Station Five, Book 1) by Jo Davis
Contemporary Romance released by Signet 5 Aug 08

After reading Trial by Fire, I see why little boys say they want to be a fireman when they grow up. Yes, they're sexy and as romance readers we definitely want to have that in our stories, but they're also sensitive people who see a horrible side of life, live it every day; men and women who forge friendships that run deep, who look out for their own, and Ms. Davis has captured that right down to the core in her debut book.

What a Week It Was!

Well, it's taken me a week to recuperate and get back into the swing of things since I got home from San Francisco.  Was it all worth it?  Damn straight!

I was supposed to be at the RWA National Conference as a writer.  I started writing only a year or so ago, so I was really looking forward to learning more about the craft.  But who was I trying to kid?  I was 99.9% reader in San Francisco.   I couldn't help myself.  Everywhere I looked were authors I'd been reading for years, authors who I just discovered, and even newer authors who I hadn't yet discovered while at the conference.   And the books!  You've all seen my TBR mountain.  You all know how bad my addiction is.  There was no way in hell anyone could have kept me away from the books in the city by the bay, no matter how they tried.  So while I did learn a little, I had a dream of a week just schmoozing and staring in awe the majority of the week.

How Could I Forget Something So Important?

I had everything planned. Really, I did. Yeah, right. I had plans too. Besides meeting and chatting with all the authors I've gotten to know online over the past several years, I was going to write to ya'll and let you know what's happening. What's stopped me? I forgot my wireless adapter for my laptop. Hmmmm. Do I have a brain? I thought my brain was intact and figured it would be so until I met my first real, live author. Maybe not.  Read more
