dermkat 's review for:

Fight by Sloane St. James

I had seen this series around IG and then this first one was chosen by my book club for this month. I really enjoyed it and absolutely want to read the read the series now! Scottie is new in town and gets a job as an EMT, but it's clear she's been running from something. We eventually find out she grew up in a culty fundamentalist church situation and is dealing with religious trauma, among other things. She meets Callahan, one of the hotshots on the wildfire-fighting team and they start hooking up. He's for his own last issues and is dealing with C-PTSD. They end up facing a life and death situation together, things progress, their pasts are revealed, etc. I thought the pace of this one was interesting in that if felt like things happened fast, but it made sense situationally. Also, their committment to therapy later on made me confident that they weren't just rushing into infatuation. The spice was decently spicy. I am excited to read about the other characters set up in this book. Also, these covers are awesome!
