Setting Off Sparks

This is the story of Finn Abrams and Lisa Peretti. Lisa is running from bad people. Finn falls for her the first time he sees her. Lisa doesn’t believe in love or marriage. I really was rooting for Finn. He truly deserves happiness after being scarred in the Big Canyon burnover. Grab your copy and catch up with the previous couples and learn who we can look forward to reading about in the other books.

ARC for honest review with no compensation Setting Off Sparks is the 4th book in the Jupiter Point series by Jennifer Bernard and what an awesome standalone book but you will want to read the other in this series too!! This book is about Finn Abrams, a member of a Hotshot crew that was severely injured during a fire when he panicked and ran instead of getting inside his hut. Now some many months later in his recover he is determined to have another shot at being back with his Hotshot crew again. Then he sees a picture of a beautiful woman who is working in the lookout tower and his heart goes pitter patter…… Lisa Peretti, an ER nurse from Houston is on the run for helping a friend get away from an abusive husband but who is very powerful. She came to Jupiter Point to lay low and when she meets Finn she tells him he has really awful pickup lines but she is slightly smitten anyway. She sees the man he really is and not the scars that some people think make him different…. In the mix comes a movie about Finn and his crew surviving the wildfire, Finn’s so called girlfriend and his father. Can Finn and Lisa have a relationship, will his so called girlfriend mess it up, will Lisa be able to keep a low profile??? These are some of the many questions that make this book exciting to read…..suspense, romance and will a HEA be on the horizon???

4.5 stars I have enjoyed each one of the Jupiter Point novels, and this one is no different. Finn and Lisa were so perfect together. The hotshot and the nurse, who had unbelievable chemistry. Finn fell fast and hard for Lisa, who was more guarded and on the run. Mysterious events start happening, leaving Lisa to wonder if her past has caught with her. Finn desperately wants back on the Jupiter Points hotshot crew, but he must prove that he is capable after the burnover fire left him scarred. This was a fun story, and an excellent addition to the series.

Finn wants nothing more than being a hotshot. A long-buried childhood memory sends Finn running from a wildfire. As a result, he's badly burned and left with scars as a daily reminder. The rest of his old crew escaped the same fate by following protocol and NOT running. Since then, several of Finn's former crew have become hotshots for Jupiter Point. Finn wants to join the crew, but isn't sure the trust is there. He also realizes he's not physically where he needs to be either. Finn enlists the help of his former hotshot buddies with training and Lisa with massages to help his scar tissue. Lisa, an ER nurse from Houston, helped a friend escape a domestic violence situation which involved a powerful politician. When odd things begin to happen, Lisa buys a motor home and escapes to Jupiter Point. Lisa first meets Finn in novel #3 of this series where she happens upon an engagement party being held in a tower. Lisa lived in the tower while watching for wildfires and hiding out from powerful politicians. She reconnects with Finn in this novel. While attending the wedding of friends, Lisa notices him limping and offers to help him. At first, Finn refuses because he doesn't want anyone to know he's not "fit" enough to return as a hotshot. When Finn realizes Lisa can help him to get back on the hotshot crew, he finally accepts help. Neither one expected that therapy would grow into friendship and eventually love.... I absolutely LOVED this novel! It was so different from the other novels in this series, but familiar. Jennifer Bernard intertwined the lives of the previous couples seamlessly throughout the novel. I rooted for Finn when he finally stood up to his father. I loved it when Lisa finally realized that she was NOT her mother and that maybe love was in the cards for her after all. I liked how repressed memories and their repercussions were addressed as well. It was the perfect mixture of love, mystery, sexy hotshots, "Hollywood", and real life issues all in one novel. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

I love Jupiter Point! It's the home of the Fighting Scorpions Hotshots wildfire crew and the sweet small town atmosphere makes me want to move there and spend my evenings taking advantage of the superior stargazing that made the town famous. Finn is the survivor of a blaze that left him scarred with burns 16 months ago. He's healed and he's worked hard to overcome the debilitating pain from the scar tissue that covers half of his face and his torso. When he meets ER nurse Lisa she offers to treat his painful scar tissue and that intimacy soon burns hotter than a canyon burn over. When danger follows Lisa to Jupiter Point she's forced to share the secrets of her past in the hopes that Finn and his hotshots can help to keep her safe. Setting Off Sparks is a sexy-as-sin romance that is charming and edge-of-your-seat intense, with plenty of characters that are simply delightful and very entertaining. Although these books read well as stand alone stories, I highly recommend the entire series because you can't help but fall in love with these brave men who put their lives on the line time and time again. I read a complimentary copy of this book and all opinions expressed in my voluntary review are completely my own.

Setting Off Sparks in more than one way! Finn is part of the Hot Shots of Jupiter Point when he was involved in a fire, with lasting scars mentally and physically. Lisa is a newcomer to Jupiter Point, an ER nurse with her own secrets. Finn hires her for physical therapy, he wants to get back to fighting fires but there is a plenty of sparks that are hot in romance department. Soon Lisa is fighting for her own life when her mobile home is torched. This is a fast paced story of romance and a little bit of suspense that will keep you turning the pages. Loved Finn and Lisa, their chemistry is so hot. Everyone needs a little Finn in their lives. He is so compassionate, fun and loving. Lisa on the other hand is nonbeliever in love but loves her career as a nurse. I love the friendships of the Hotshots, so very true of firemen!! This is the fourth book in the series, but can be read as a stand alone. I highly recommend this book!!

I just love this series! From the small town of Jupiter Point itself; to the people who live there; to the brave group of men in the hot shot crew, what's not to love? I am never disappointed when I pick up a Jennifer Bernard book and was so happy to see this was Finn's story. I simply adore Finn! He is funny, sweet and sexy with a touch of vulnerability. That sense of humor and his deliberately cheesy pick-up lines drew me in and made me fall in love with him so fast. Lisa is an awesome heroine. A self proclaimed cynic when it comes to love and a superwoman as an ER nurse; she will prove to be a tough nut to crack. Finn and Lisa have some serious chemistry and are a perfect match! They both need healing of a different variety and they sure live up to the title as they set off some serious sparks together and even start some fires of their own. There is an awesome kind of suspenseful storyline interwoven with this otherwise funny sweet love story that give this book some great substance. 5 shooting stars for another delight in this Jennifer Bernard series!!!

This book takes us back to Jupiter Point with another fantastic story! Finn Abrams is still dealing with the consequences of his actions during the burnover in Big Canyon last year. As the fire grew near a bizarre memory had him fleeing rather than relying on his training. He obviously survived but the scars, both physical and mental, have him fighting him way back. Lisa Peretti is new to Jupiter Point. She doesn't plan to stay long. Just enough time for the craziness she left behind to die down so getting involved in Finn's life just doesn't make sense. Mr. Charm and Humor doesn't want to take no for an answer though and she can tell he could really use her help with his injuries. Will she be able to resist him? Does she want to? When Lisa's trouble shows up in Jupiter Point Finn seems to be the one person she can rely on! A great read and one you don't want to miss. I highly recommend it.
