Savannah should have known that the town's golden boy was more than a dimpled smirk and magnetic charm. She should have known better than to ask Warren to be her fake boyfriend, but she was out of options when a screw-up almost cost her her job. The ruse seemed foolproof at first but one practice kiss is all it took to weaken Savannah's defences and fan the fire.

FIRE AWAY is the second instalment of the Bunkhouse series but can be read as a standalone. I absolutely adore Lainey's writing style - her small town cowboy romances are gems. Warren and Savannah's story brings us back to Westridge and the rest of the Bunkhouse characters. I haven been eagerly awaiting this latest instalment to catch up with all of these amazing characters.

The fake dating trope is one of my favourites so this was an easy read. I loved Warren and Savannah's chemistry and banter. Both characters are well-developed, flawed, and relatable. I especially loved how kind, caring, and supportive they are for each other as well as the ones around them. Savannah's journey, particularly, was quite special as she learns to see the value within herself and accept the love and kindness of others in her life.

As with the first Bunkhouse book, I'd be remiss if I didn't make a special mention of Lainey's talent at creating a suspenseful and thrilling atmosphere within her romance novels that had my heart pounding and me eagerly flipping the pages to get to the bottom of things.

Can't wait for book 3 to see what's next for the Bunkhouse crew!
