After a devastating bushfire rips through her hometown, Christina has lost nearly everything. Lucky though, she still has the two men who have been in her life since high school, and the very ones she's been secretly in love with. For years, she's found it impossible to choose between them, which is why she's never acted on her feelings.

Jack and Reece have kept their feelings for their friend Christina to themselves, for fear they'd destroy their lifelong friendship if they confessed. But in the face of tragedy, and believing that they could have lost the woman they love, both men realise how precious life is and there's no holding back.

This is an emotionally charged story with three amazing characters that have had their lives turned upside down and have managed to come out the other side relatively unscathed, although they have lost their houses, and most of their possessions. The dynamic interactions of Jack and Reece with Christina, and their directness of grasping what happiness they wanted was terrific to read. As was the fact that Christina didn't care what reactions she received from other people to her having two men to love. Because love shouldn't have to be kept hidden no matter how unconventional the relationship is.

Overall, Abby Blake has written a story not to be missed. Fire has a great plot and a dialogue that flowed nicely. The unequivocal attention to detail when it came to the bushfire gave great insight into how much anguish some people go through. Since you never imagine how hard such a situation can be until you've come face to face with it. The sex scenes were hot with both men very attentive towards Christina, that it was enough to make any woman a little envious. Also, it illustrates that in the face of tragedy, one has to make each moment count because you never know what the future holds in store. Which is unassailable advice and one that everyone should take notice of.
