How do you chase wildfires without getting burned?I went to Scotland to learn about the world, I never expected to find love.Except, the one I’m meant to be with is also the person who hates me the most.Isla.Independent and free, like the rolling hills of her beloved Scottish Highlands.She grew wild, like the heather she loved so much.I want to cherish her, not own her, because wildfires aren’t … her, not own her, because wildfires aren’t meant to be tamed, but allowed to blossom. To burn bright and beautiful, without being held captive.
My only goal is to win her heart.
I just hope I don’t lose mine in the process.

This story takes us to Scotland and what a trip! The author brings authenticity to this tale however she leaves us wanting more. Ben & Isla are a powerful duo with smarts, looks, and so much more!
This a wellwritten and fastpaced story that captivated me from the start. The storyline is entertaining and actionpacked. The characters are wonderful. Can not wait for the next book in this series.

This is my first time reading this author and I’m very pleased with choosing this book. The author has done a brilliant job with the use of descriptive writing to set the scene and bring Scotland to life. The plot is great and enjoyable with well-rounded characters. An author for me to look out for in the future.

This story is a wonderfully descriptive story set in Scotland and makes you want to visit the country. The characters of Ben and Isla are well developed and very likable. The storyline is well written and flows nicely. Unfortunately, it ends with an unexpected clliffhanger.

Awhile back this author caught my eye with just a cover. Now after loving what she did in that story I can’t stay away from this one. This time we get to travel to the beautiful legendary Ireland. The author offers lots of vivid imagery which makes you experience it’s beauty while enhancing the story and showing the pride and love her characters have of it. The story itself is fun yet emotional as these two from very different walks in life meet. If you think their beginning isn’t according to the norm then the author will definitely live up to that.
What follows is two growing up while getting to know each other and become more than just flash in school bed mates and move on. That’s where this book is different in a wonderful way and what I enjoy about this author. It’s a beautiful story that is emotional and sometimes painful but is well written and once again I find myself hooked into a cliff hanger. Now don’t get me wrong I am all about a good cliff hanger so I look forward to seeing where this author takes us after she broke the wild in our little Wildfire and we want her fixed.
Wow this read was just great the love was just hot off the charts hot I loved the characters it was just so heart felt and amazing I couldn’t get enough

I enjoyed getting to know these two. I’m excited that the author let us get to know them from the very beginning of their second chance romance. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
Ben has an incredible opportunity to continue his education in Scotland, something far too good to pass up. Isla comes off as a spoiled rich girl, when in fact she’s anything but. He figures out how to push her buttons the moment they meet. They have to spend time together – they have a joint project in class, and her roommate is dating his roommate. She begins let her walls down when she has a traumatic event, and he’s the only one she can trust. The author has beautiful descriptions of locations in Scotland – made me feel like I’m there. The characters have amazing chemistry, even when they didn’t get along, and I loved seeing the transformation in their relationship. This was a terrific book to read. Right up until the cliffhanger. I’m not a big fan of unfinished stories, and especially not when there’s no notification. My reading thoughts today were, what a great book, what a great book, what a great book, what a great book, what the heck was that ending. I will look for the next book, because I truly loved what I read of Ben and Isla so far.

Ben, Isla, and the massive cliffhanger. The story is so beautiful, the setting is described with so much vividness and vibrancy that you are transported into the world created in the read. The way the relationship and interactions between Ben and Isla evolve is done perfectly.

4.5 stars
I’m hooked and I need my next fixed! Ben and Isla were strong and often misunderstood characters. The author webs a beautiful story with an amazing description of Scotland.

WOW! Shame on me for not reading the blurb, prior to starting CHASING WILDFIRE! But what a wonderful surprise to learn that most of the story takes place in Scotland! The author’s description of the scenery was so picturesque and the writing of their dialect was amazing and fun. What I really liked though was their thoughts wasn’t in their dialect! The story line was so enjoyable that I couldn’t put it down and read it in one day! I loved Ben and Isla’s story, their personalities and quirks! Truly a fun story to read! Well done Author Lum!
This is my first read from this author and I will be reading more mostly because this book ends on a huge cliff hanger so I cant wait to see what comes next This was a good well-written book with great characters the chemistry between them was off the charts hot. I enjoyed this book.
I will say this up front, I thuroughly enjoyed this novella. The characters were VERY thuroughly developed, even the secondaries. Ben and Ilsa were strong, vibrant, determined, passionate, and both very misunderstood in their own right. Emotional insight was priceless and given from both POV. Once the midunderstandings were cleared, their relationship blossomed. However, when unforceen forces threaten their new love, will they weather the storm?
** Please note, as much as I HATE it, this book ended in a massive cliffhanger. Urgh! At least give the reader a warning that this is only part of the story. As much as I enjoyed the book and the writing, I may not proceed with the next installment (who knows how many will end in cliffhangers and I prefer clear conclusions). I may choose to create my own version of the ending and just let it go. If you, like me, hate cliffhangers … steer clear. If not, the writing and story are wonderful. That is why I only took 1 star off. It was a gift really because I so enjoyed the rest (especially Ben).

J. definitely made me feel the emotions of Ben and Isla. The storytelling is full of vivid descriptions and takes you mentally away. I enjoyed getting to know Isla, a strongwilled woman who has more layers than an onion.
Ben is attracted to her and you can feel it, it brings a sizzle to your fingertips. Reading CATCHING WILDFIRE is an experience you can’t explain. I won’t ruin a page of this book but I’ll tell you, you will feel it’s burn.
I will be reading more from J. Lum. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.
