Intentional Fires (Book Two in the Sunrise Crik Series) by Rebecca McLafferty can be read as a standalone but it does mentions in characters from the first book. Both books kept me turning the pages. The ending from this book makes me think a 3rd book is coming. If a reader likes clean romance and mystery in the same novel than I suggest this series. This novel has a surprise that I didn't see coming. Well, actually both books do. These characters show love and support to each other. I would like to be friends with these characters in real life, in fact, these stories could have happened in real life somewhere and sometime and probably has with different names and businesses.

More from Rebecca
There is a saying, “Home is where the heart is.” Rebecca McLafferty totally agrees!
Rebecca is the author of the Sunrise Crik Series, which consists of action-packed romantic suspense novels set in current-day Montana. She and her husband have vacationed and explored the Livingston to Bozeman area where this series takes place. The town of Woodridge is fictious, but a number of area establishments mentioned within her stories are real.
The phrase “The Big Sky” was coined by Pulitzer Prize-winning author A.B. Guthrie in his 1947 novel of that name. In addition to the obvious vision of unobstructed sky, Big Sky Country—to Rebecca—represents big dreams and big faith. It symbolizes the backbone of Montana!
Are you wondering how Rebecca can authentically write about growing Christmas trees? It’s because she and her husband owned Country Memories Farm in Wisconsin where they raised alpacas, and planted and grew Christmas trees! She also operated Country Memories Mercantile (now downsized to an online store). Their love of educating others evolved into an operation that hosted school, family, and community events. That’s why she loves to interact personally with people from all walks of life!
And are you wondering how Rebecca knows about police department operations—even drug smugglers? She worked for a tourist-town’s police department—a fascinating place to get ideas!
Rebecca admits to having worked dozens of unusual jobs (great discussion material for another time). She wondered why she experienced such diverse occupations before God revealed to her that she needed authenticity for her novel writing. What she hasn’t experienced herself, she has visited or thoroughly researched.
The title, Intentional Fires implies forest fires. That’s obvious. But there are other types of fires that burn intentionally. Internal fires can sustain a 90-year feud and lifetimes of unforgiveness, resentment, and broken dreams. Do you suffer from an internal fire?
- Whether you live in Montana or dream of visiting the west . . .
- Whether you have an entrepreneurial spirit that wants you to succeed . . .
- Whether you want to fall in love, rekindle your faith, or root for an underdog . . .
Come and experience the heartfelt struggles that Montanans fight with all their might to protect.

What did you find to be the hardest part of writing this book and how do you manage to overcome it?
Sounds fantastic
A book that is not totally predictable is much more entertaining, so a surprise twist or two—or more—improves the story.
This sounds really interesting!
Debbie, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Sounds like a page turner!
