Hey book friends! Guess what I just finished? The follow-up to the Booktok must-read Icebreaker —Hannah Grace’s “Wildfire,” the latest in the Maple Hills series. I picked up the special edition from ProbablySmut (https://probablysmut.com/)
So, we return to Maple Hills this time focusing on students Russ and Aurora who are both just wrapping up the school year and end up at the same party. Aurora has a tendency to rebel, which leads to a passionate one-night stand. Classic, right? But here’s the kicker—Aurora, the queen of no-strings-attached, slips away before Russ can even ask for her last name. Talk about a stealth exit!
They both leave for their summer plans, only the first day of summer camp where fate (or maybe just the universe having a good laugh) brings these two together again. Turns out, they’re both camp counselors, seeking refuge from the messiness of their home lives. Russ is trying to escape his father’s gambling addiction, while Aurora just wants to find that elusive feeling of home she once had.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The camp has this strict “no staff fraternizing” rule. Breaking it could mean a one-way ticket back to Maple Hills. But guess what? Aurora couldn’t care less about rules. She’s a rule-breaker, a rebel, and she’s not about to let some camp policy stand in her way. What are the rules for if not to be broken?
The big question is: Can these two coexist peacefully under the camp’s watchful eye, or did that one wild night light a spark that’s about to become an unstoppable wildfire? I bet you are dying to find out.
Our beloved author, Hannah Grace, has this way of weaving a tale that’s both steamy and heartwarming. The characters are relatable, flawed, and you can’t help but root for them. You will wish you were involved in this camp. It’s the kind of story that hooks you in and keeps you up way past your bedtime reading until you finish the story.
So my friends, if you’re looking for a book that’s full of heat, heart, and humor, “Wildfire” is a must-read. Grab a copy, find a cozy blanket, and get ready for a steamy read. Happy reading, fellow bookworms!
