Book: Fire
Author: Linda K Rodante
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense
Release Date: July 28, 2020
If a violent gang re-organizes, an undercover cop could lose everything…including the woman he loves.
After a gang war three years earlier, the undercover cop known as Patriot was forced to move and take a new identity. When the gang re-organizes and threatens a friend, Patriot, now a firefighter, races home to help him.
Chloe Swearingen confines herself to the fast pace of the ER and away from interpersonal relationships—for a reason she keeps to herself. But when she helps save a gangster’s life, she’s thrown into a cauldron of relationships from which she can’t escape—and one from which she doesn’t want to…
Then a series of fires target people they love, and Chloe and Patriot will need the Lord’s wisdom to stay alive.
Click here to get your copy!I recommend reading this series "Spiritual Warfare" in order as "Fire" by Linda K Rodante is the third in the series. I also think if you don't read the others you will still enjoy each book as a standalone. I just think reading them in order gives the background because all three have some of the main characters. All three books have plots with characters, that are real, spiritual warfare, forgiveness and restoration, action and suspense, the power of prayer, romance, and the gospel message.
Yes, these books deals with gangs and drugs and crime but the author writes without a lot of graphic details, I wasn't tempted at all to put the books down and stop reading because I had to know what was going to happen next.
After reading this series I definitely want to read her other series.
I was given a contemporary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit and they opinions are my own.

Linda’s two series, The Dangerous Series and The Spiritual Warfare Series, are each unique. Both are fun read in order, but every book is also a stand-alone.
More from Linda
FIRE, A Christian Romantic Suspense novel, is the third book in the Spiritual Warfare Series. While it’s also a stand-alone, it’s enhanced if you’ve read the others first. The inspiration for FIRE came while listening to “There’s Another in the Fire” by Hillsong UNITED. I love the words to that song. It says so much about who Jesus is and that he never leaves us.Most Christians know the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, how King Nebuchadnezzar had them thrown into a fiery furnace because they wouldn’t worship him (Daniel 3.19-25). We know that Jesus was the fourth man in the fire, that he kept them from being burned or even smelling like smoke. But the Bible refers to fire in many ways—God is a consuming fire, the Holy Spirit is represented by fire, his ministers are called flames of fire, his Word is like a fire, and Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire. So much representation there.
The first book in the Spiritual Warfare Series, Warrior, introduced us to an ex-gang member, a gang leader, and a kickboxer who wanted more from God than she’d been experiencing, not realizing the depth of what she’d asked, and the danger she’d find herself in. In the second book, ROAR, her church persists in ministering to gangs even amid threats and kidnappings. Then three members are caught in the middle of a gang war, and it will take a miracle to get them out. FIRE takes place three years later when things have settled down. Ex-gang members are finding Jesus and learning new life skills, but then someone sets fire to the church and one of the ex-gang members is arrested for murder. When you’re doing everything right, and Satan attacks, where is God?
FIRE brings back familiar characters and introduces new ones who fall in love, and who learn about prayer, and perseverance, and God’s faithfulness in the middle of the battle.
Romance, intrigue and the power of prayer are woven together to create a story of action and faith.
