ARC Review of Hellfire, Texas (Hellfire Series Book #1)

This is a beautiful story of giving trust even when you have no reason to but just going with your gut and your heart. Kinsey Phillips is running away from her abusive ex-boyfriend who used to beat her whenever he felt like it. She just made a run because things were getting too rough. She ends up heading back to the only place she ever felt safe and she ends up coming across an old friend, Becket Grayson who’s a volunteer firefighter & rancher. It’s a good thing too because her car was acting up and she was on the side of the road and her car caught on fire and he came across her there and gets her away from the car before it explodes-pretty much saves her. That’s when they realize they knew each other from years before, growing up together.
Beckett gets Kinsey to talking and finds out why she is back in town. When he finds out why she is fleeing, he is very interested in helping her and it doesn’t hurt that there is an attraction he feels. He doesn’t want to act on that feeling but it’s there. Soon, his family is involved in helping her escape her ex-boyfriend. 

Kinsey is ensconced at his family’s ranch and then soon there is a fight to keep her safe from her ex-boyfriend and on top of that going on, there are the spiraling feelings that Beckett and Kinsey are feeling for each other. They try to deny their feelings but they are too intense and the passion cannot be put off . I loved watching the MC interact with each other and the action packed plays going on were great. This is great opening act for the new series. Childhood friends to lovers, love how this plays out. Do they or don’t they is thy question and do they get rid of the nasty ex-boyfriend is the 2nd question.
