Fireworks

The story has great potential but I can’t deal with the “our girl” “our heroine”.

Not one of her better books, in my opinion. I didn’t like jumping from twelve years earlier to present, not much of a story compared to earlier books. Needs some editing. Grammatical errors like their for there.

Loved every moment of this book.

Another great addition to this series! I loved Benito and Skylar’s journey. Add in a suspense element in this storyline and you’re hooked until the end. I also did love the narration! Zachary Webber/Benito totally swoon worthy!

I loved this book. And Benito is definitely a fave Vermont guy for me now! At first, the "narrative" quality of the flashback moments threw me off a little bit, especially with the "our girl" wording, but that really only happens early in the story, and I honestly got past that pretty quick. Once I was really pulled into the story, I could not put it down. It was just a great read and I loved it. Sarina Bowen always brings great characters and good writing. I highly recommend this one, and it reads quite well as a standalone, too, if you haven't visited this great group in Vermont before.

Love the characters in this book. They come alive as the pages turn. This is a great series!

This is the sixth book in a series that pulls you in and doesn’t let go. Fireworks can be read as a stand alone, but is even better having read the whole series. Skylar Copeland is a TV personality that does the weather for a station in New York. She loves her job, her apartment and New York, but after a hilarious blunder on air, she is forced into a couple weeks off. Her step sister convinces her to do a favor for her and drive to the last place she wants to be....Vermont. She left twelve years ago, the night her best friend and boy she was in love with stood her up for the prom. She has never looked back. Her childhood was a series of multiple marriages for her Mom, constantly moving, and finally settling down with a former husband that scared Skye to death. On what she felt was her worst day of all, she meets a “beautiful boy” Benito, who welcomes her and lets her in to his private sanctuary and his life. For the first time she felt safe. Benito Rossi, detective Vermont State Police has never forgiven himself for losing Skye. All of a sudden she’s mysteriously back in town on some kind of crazy mission for her sister, Raye. What Skye doesn’t know is that her stepfather is in deep with drugs and dealers, and Raye is involved. Benito is pursuing the bad guys, but vows with his life to keep Skye safe. He won’t lose her again. There is danger, suspense and action, and Skye and Benito know there are deep feelings never lost. “Revisiting your past is weird. Really Weird. There are ghosts around me.” Skye reunites with old friends, Benito’s family and so many of the characters in the previous True North books. The romance is sizzling. This book is a great read!
