Review
Burning For Autumn is the first book in the new series, On Call, but also features characters from other series and even another author (Susan Stoker). I just love when an author interconnects series with others but is a standalone still.
Keith Blackfoot has been a bit of an enigma for me when he has appeared in previous books so it was great to dig deep and see what this alpha police guy has been hiding.
Autumn is in a new town on a short term contract at the burns unit. She has not made many, if any, new friends since she has been in town so takes a punt on the local bar to rectify that. Unfortunately the person she sits at the side of in the bar happens to be Keith and they get off on the wrong foot. Hence the storyline unravels with these fiercely independent twosome fighting off the inevitable of taking a chance on love.
The sub story of the suspense element was cleverly executed and kept me guessing as to who the perpetrator was right until it was revealed. Usually I can spot them a mile away but this time it got me good. Brilliant!
I loved the connection and passion between Keith and his Red (Autumn) and the banter between them was something else. The chemistry and sexy times was off the charts steamy which I loved to see develop into so much more. I think these two are my most favourite of all Ms Barker’s characters and I could click with them both from the offset.
This series has got off to a stellar start and I can’t wait to read the next books. I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend you grab it to devour like I did. A massive five stars from me.
