Wildfire

Wildfire by Hannah Grace - Romance Book Review

Maple Hills students Russ Callaghan and Aurora Roberts cross paths at a party celebrating the end of the academic year, where a drinking game results in them having a passionate one-night stand. Never one to overstay her welcome (or expect much from a man), Aurora slips away before Russ even has the chance to ask for her full name.

Imagine their surprise when they bump into each other on the first day of the summer camp where they are both counselors, hoping to escape their complicated home lives by spending the summer working. Russ hopes if he gets far enough away from Maple Hills, he can avoid dealing with the repercussions of his father’s gambling addiction, while Aurora is tired of craving attention from everyone around her, and wants to go back to the last place she truly felt at home.

Russ knows breaking the camp’s strict “no staff fraternizing” rule will have him heading back to Maple Hills before the summer is over, but unfortunately for him, Aurora has never been very good at caring about the rules. Will the two learn to peacefully coexist? Or did their one night together start a fire they can’t put out?

Wow wow wow! I loved this so very much 🥰

What starts as a hookup at a college party turns into so much more, as Aurora & Russ get to know each other over the summer as fellow camp counselors.

Wildfire is truly a story about two somewhat broken people who are looking for someone to love them, and put them first.

They both have a lot of trauma/issues with their families, especially their dads.

Russ is the absolute cutest! There is nothing hotter than a shy, non-cocky hockey player 🥰

Aurora is such a fun heroine, and they are an amazing match.

I was swooning & laughing so often while reading! As someone who LOVED camp as a child (and teen, and 20-something), this brought back so many good memories!
