Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wildfire is the second book in the Maple Hills series. Russ and Aurora have a one-night stand at a party, only to reunite as counselors at a summer camp. They are each seeking an escape from their complicated lives. As they navigate camp rules and their own desires, they must grapple with the question of whether their one-night encounter has sparked something more between them.

I wasn’t a fan of Icebreaker, but I decided to give Wildfire a chance due to the interesting premise and I’m glad I did! I adored this book. Russ and Aurora’s perspectives were captivating and I appreciated that the story was so much more than their love story but it also dove into their respective complex family dynamics. Watching their relationship evolve from a passionate one-night stand to a deeper connection was a highlight. It was also great to see familiar characters like JJ and Henry return while being introduced to new ones. Highly recommend picking this up! I can’t wait for the third book!
