Life as a member of the rock band Pure Wildfire has been a crazy professional ride, filled with hot sex, screaming fans, and all the adoration any man could want. As the last remaining unmated/unmarried member of the band, Chris is feeling like an outsider for the first time since the band formed. Chris has always been a “love-em and leave-em” kind of man, so he’s surprised to discover he wants a committed relationship of his own and the biggest shock is who he wants it with…Ashley Westfall.
Ashley Westfall is sick and tired of life in the music world. Her eldest sister will hardly talk to her, her twin is spiraling toward self-destruction with alcohol and drugs and her father is a self-absorbed ego-maniac who only cares about himself. She wants a normal life, with a normal man, doing a job she loves in the art world. What she gets is a hot and sexy relationship with Chris; a man/shape-shifting firebird, who has been little more than a sex buddy in the past.
These two new lovers are thrust into the path of danger as she, the band and their mates are threatened by a dangerous society bent on their destruction, and her father is involved. Together, Chris and Ashley must fight the individuals determined to steal Chris’s power, all while struggling to find a way to make their love work in the face of her father’s deceptions and lies.
Thunderfire is the fourth and last release in the Pure Wildfire series by talented author Lynne Connolly, and it’s a nice ending for a totally enjoyable and entertaining group of stories. Chris was the least familiar of the Pure Wildfire band members to me, so I was very curious to what was going to happen in his story and who his female was going to be. That it turned out to be Ashley, who I admit to not liking in the three previous books, was a revelation I wasn’t expecting. Yet, when I got a better understanding of her and her personality and how most of her actions had been engineered by her manipulative father, I changed my opinion. I have to say that Ms. Connolly did a very nice job expressing the unsettled emotions of both Chris and Ashley in a variety of situations, and when she got them together…WOW! The emotions of both our hero and heroine are explosive and as blistering hot as fire, or a firebird.
The inclusion of the other three band members and their mates was a nice addition, giving the readers a good sense of closure, and adding a depth and sense of family. The continuing story arc involving the PHR, Perfect Human Race, was nicely handled, including the actions of John Westfall, Ashley’s villainous father, a man perfect to hate. You won’t be disappointed in the final action packed scenes of this fast-paced book either, so take a chance and read this series. You won’t be sorry you did.
