Serial Burn is the third book in Lynette Eason’s Lake City Heroes series, and definitely my favorite! The ensemble cast of characters returns with the relationship between fire martial Jesslyn McCormick and FBI agent Nathan Carlisle front and center. I loved the very interesting topic — arson investigations — and the fast-paced, edge-of-the-seat plot that Eason created. This is romantic suspense, so the relationship between the two main characters is sizzling! There’s an interesting subplot from the past that was intriguing as well. All elements of this novel kept the pages turning! While you really need to read the entire series, if you have to choose just one, Serial Burn is the book to read.
Highly Recommended.
Audience: Adults.

She’s out for justice. But the arsonist she’s tracking is out for retribution.
Now the fire marshal of Lake City, Jesslyn McCormick is determined to find the person who started the fire that robbed her of her family when she was just seven years old. As the twentieth anniversary of the tragedy approaches, a string of fires–including at Jesslyn’s church–brings up all those old feelings and offers new evidence.
Because church fires are considered a hate crime, FBI Special Agent Nathan Carlisle is called in to work with local law enforcement. Nathan has his own past–one he’d prefer not to revisit. And focusing on helping Jesslyn track down the arsonist is a great distraction.
As both the case and the chemistry between Jesslyn and Nathan heat up, memories will come flooding in from the past to bump up against hopes for the future. And when Jesslyn comes face-to-face with her worst nightmare, she’ll have to confront her fears and rely on Nathan and her community of friends in order to survive.
