Fire Games: A Christian Suspense and Romance is an awesome beginning to a new series from Lorana Hoopes, one of my favorite authors. Jordan is a dedicated detective with no personal life who is frantically searching for three abducted children. Cassidy is a firefighter who is just back from appearing on a reality TV show. She returns to a sack of fan mail that includes some disturbing letters from a stalker. Jordan does not appreciate being sent to protect Cassidy from her stalker. He is even less happy when she asks him to investigate something suspicious she saw at a fire. Two intense people with crazy schedules would never be attracted to each other – especially when Cassidy reminds Jordan so much of his ex. As things heat up (pun intended) will these two get an HEA? Will the children be found? Will Cassidy’s stalker escalate his behavior? If you like clean romantic suspense, you will want to grab this book.
Cassidy a female firefighter decides to go on a reality dating tv show. After the show ends she finds someone is stalking her. Jordon a detective is assigned to find Cassidy’s stalker. He is busy with a case about missing children and is not happy about the distraction until Cassidy finds a doll in a burned apartment. Then Cassidy goes missing.
This is the first time I have read anything by this author. The characters were interesting. I find the story line heavy on the romance and short on the mystery. I figured out the stalker early on. I did read the second in the series. Something compelling in the writing style.
Clever female fire fighter.
Fire Games (The Men of Fire Beach #1) was a great read by Lorana Hoopes. Cassidy is a firefighter who went on a reality dating show. She thought that it would solve her relationship problems, but it just makes everything worse for her. She returns home and finds out that she has a stalker who is starting to get closer and closer to her. Jordan is a detective who is trying to save missing children and doesn’t want anything to do with Cassidy’s stalker. He never thought that the two cases would collide and he will do anything to save her. I really enjoyed Cassidy and Jordan’s story, I can’t wait to read more in this series.
I was given a free copy of this Audiobook In exchange for an honest review. Cassidy is a single firefighter looking for love on a reality television show but has no luck. She then has the smarts to ask God for a man ( just like myself in real like ps it worked out great for me). But was she following her will or god’s? She has a lot of friends at the station and then she meets a certain police officer Jordan. Things maybe starting to develop when Cassidy comes up mysteriously missing. Read the book and find out what happened to her and if she follows God’s will and gets her man and lives happily ever after. The next book in the men on fire beach collection is love memories and new beginnings can’t wait to read!
This is the first novella in The Men of Fire Beach Series, a romantic suspense, and clean romance. The story is intriguing and captivating. The storyline is well developed and suspenseful. I like Cassidy (a firefighter), and Jordan (a detective). The secondary characters are interesting. The author, Lorana Hoopes, is also the narrator of this story. She did a great job with the narration. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, Lost Memories and New Beginnings.
Romantic and adventurous! Fast pace read – enjoyed it!
Fire Games: A Christian Suspense and Romance (The Men of Fire Beach, Book 1), my nineteenth incredible read from wonderful Christian author Lorana Hoopes, her first read by me in the romantic/suspense genre (I love a good mystery). The author’s Texas roots show as most of her books are set in The Lonestar State or have ties to it. This is another amazing Christian read, God’s hand is apparent throughout the book, if there’s a flaw in this book it’s that it’s too short, After having read The Cowboy’s Reality Bride (Blushing Brides #1) & The Reality Bride’s Baby (Blushing Brides #2) I wanted to read more about Laney & Tyler and although this isn’t about them it is about the contestants not chosen in that first book. I don’t do spoilers though so you’ll have to read it and find out for yourself! I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing. Lorana Hoopes’s talented self-narration & Texas accent/drawl adds to the well-written book’s enjoyment as no one knows her characters like the creator. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series, Lost Memories and New Beginnings ((The Men of Fire Beach, Book 2). (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
We first met firefighter Cassidy Marcel in The Cowboys Reality Bride. She was a contestant on the dating show hoping to win the heart of the cowboy. Sparks didn’t fly in the way she hoped so she’s home to work with a not so pleasant welcome thanks to a possible stalker.
Jordan Graves is detective trying to solve an important case. But he ends up on this stalking case he’s thrilled to be on.
The tail weaves Cassidy’s and Jordan’s lives together. Both have been burned by love and fearful to try it again. But they both rely on their faith. The book I was kind of wondering it I wanted to get into a deep heavy story. Ughh, I was wrong. Things happen so fast. It was hard to put down. That’s what I find makes good stories. Lorana Hoopes has done it again. I’m off to the next in the series. Blessings and enjoy Cassidy and Jordan’s story.
Who doesn’t like a female firefighter story?! Cassidy is honest and hard-headed. Even with all the typical razing that firefighters give each other, she’s all in. This story was beautifully interwoven between the main characters and I liked it’s complexity. A good couple of mysteries were thrown into the mix and that kept me turning the pages. This is my first Lorana Hoopes book and I’ll be back for more – clean, suspenseful and definitely interesting.
I listened to the Audiobook and it was my first time for this author and narrator and I really thought both was great. The book had suspense and some romance and was also sweet. Very enjoyable book. Would highly recommend!
This book proved that this author can write any genre and write it well.
I delight in stories about police and firemen.
The plot was well-developed as it had mystery, suspense and of course romance.
The characters were spot on.
As this is the first book of a new series I am looking forward to the rest.
I enjoyed reading this book very much. It was fun to get to see Cassidy in her own book with her own story. I really enjoyed the chemistry between her and Jordan. I enjoyed their clean, sweet romance and the happy ending. It was exciting and suspenseful and I read it quickly so I could see what would happen! I recommend it!
I received a complimentary copy of the book. All opinions are my own and are expressed voluntarily.
I listened to the audio version of this book. Fire Games is different than the other two books I’ve read by this author. The other’s were romances centered around a reality TV show, so they were pretty light. This book has mystery and danger woven into a story about First Responders. Cassidy is a fire fighter and Jordan is with the police force.
Cassidy is dealing with a stalker and Jordan is assigned to help her, although reluctantly. He begins to take her more seriously as an individual when she discovers something during a fire that sets her on edge and she reaches out to him for help with that.
There are twists and turns that would normally keep you turning the pages, but I recognized the exact some plot from a TV show I watched last year. I knew what was coming, so it did diminish my pleasure in the book.
I was given a complimentary copy of this audio book. All thoughts are my own.
Great start with lovely characters . A little romance, a little suspense. This book seemed a little ‘off’ . It didn’t grab my attention like author Hoopes’ other books. I know ithe series will get better since the author is a great writer. I was given a free ARC by the author. My review is freely and honestly given
Fire Games: A Christian Suspense and Romance
The Men of Fire Beach, Book 1
By: Lorana Hoopes
Narrated by: Lorana Hoopes
One of my favorite sub genres is romantic suspense and this one fits the bill! Cassidy has just finished a stint on reality tv and is having difficulty getting back into swing of things at the firehouse. Not only is it hard to be taken seriously as a female firefighter, but now after her heartbreak in public on the tv show, it has become even harder. When she finds something suspect at one of the fires, the chief does not give her the time of day, but when she takes it to Jordan, a local detective, he finds her discovery a eminent interest. Loranna Hoopes weaves this story of child trafficking, with a slow burning romance building feelings and trust. Narrated by Hoopes, she brings the story to life as it is meant to be read. Her voice is wonderful, full of the tragic emotion of the situation and the passion as it builds. It’s a great listen!

I liked the character development. The faith element was there but not overbearing. There was just enough to keep you guessing as to who the stalker may be. It seemed to develop pretty quickly and move on. I’m ready for book 2 of the series!
Lorana Hoopes brings us strong characters and an engaging story line. Both Cassidy and Jordan have careers that require strength in body and mind and which are normally not drawn to each other. A series of events bring them together at the perfect time. This story kept you reading and searching for what was going to happen next. I totally enjoyed it and look forward to the next book.
A wonderful well written Christian clean romantic suspense. This amazing storyline had me addicted page after page with a stalker, child abduction, suspense, little drama and alot of chemistry. I really enjoyed this story of a women firefighter and her delima after appearing on a reality find a cowboy show to her HEA. It is a standalone with in a series so you may recognize a few great interesting characters. I voluntarily reviewed this engaging ARC and cant wait to read more from a fantastic fun author.
