Synopsis:

“A burning building doesn’t scare me at all compared to the thought of losing you.”
Firefighter Cole Taylor is the man everyone looks up to at Firehouse 9 in downtown Spokane. He’s been at the department for ten years and has no fear when it comes to dangerous situations.
Megan Taylor, Cole’s wife, is a stay-at-home mother of their two boys. She was everything Cole ever wanted in a woman and the perfect wife any man could ask for until one day when she decides to leave Cole.
Cole has fought hundreds of fires in his lifetime, but he had never tasted fear until he came to fighting a fire in his own home. Amongst The Flames is a Christian firefighter romance that tackles real-life situations and problems that exist in Christian marriages today. It brings with it passion, love and spiritual depth that will leave you feeling inspired.
This Contemporary Christian Romance novel is one book that you’ll want to read over and over again.

I received this book from the author for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.

Review:

If I could give this book to every Christian married couple, I would.

Though this book may be a work of fiction, as one reads the story, you can tell that the author is drawing from real-life personal situations and applying them to this story.

I find a lot of Christian romances to be very cheesy, as far as they typically just pray about the situation and everything immediately gets better, but it’s completely different with Amongst The Flames.

The author makes it evident that love is a daily choice, and that even when we think we’re doing everything “right”, the struggles and hardships are still going to be there. I loved this story and recommend it to couples especially, but also to single men and women. There is a lot that could be learned from this book even for those of us who aren’t married yet.

I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
