WHISPERS & WILDFIRE by CLAIRE KINGSLEY is AVAILABLE NOW!
He’ll save her from the nightmare in her past.
Luke Haven has an adrenaline problem. As in, he can’t get enough.
His squeaky-clean, nice-guy reputation in his small town isn’t a lie. But it’s not the whole truth, either. Although his real problem? He’s not even sure what he’s searching for.
Melanie Andolini never thought she’d be starting over in her thirties. But moving back to her hometown is exactly the fresh start she needs.
Until she runs into Luke Haven, and things get complicated. Really complicated. Although it feels like a lifetime since they dated in high school, sparks fly as soon as they’re face to face—hot enough to light up the whole town.
Melanie blazes into Luke’s life like wildfire—messy and chaotic, beautiful and tempting. But they played with fire once and both got burned. They’re not going down that road again.
Except Melanie brought home a secret that still haunts her dreams. And when her nightmares turn all too real, Luke will risk everything to save her.
And make her his—this time, forever.
Author’s note: a not-your-usual second chance romance with a fiery heroine and a hero who won’t quench her flames—he’ll bask in her heat. Family shenanigans, witty banter, page-turning suspense, and a wild happily ever after that will leave your heart full.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Second-chance romances are my favorites, and Claire Kingsley knocked this one out of the park with Luke and Melanie’s story!
As Whispers and Wildfire begins, there is the perfect hint of anger between the characters when they almost literally run into each other on the road as Melanie is returning to town to start over again after her divorce. But you can tell that the anger is covering up some bigger, deeply hidden feelings because it is clear that Luke and Melanie have not gotten over one another. Things kick up a notch between them when Melanie temporarily fills in as the receptionist at Haven Auto, adding sexual tension to the past hurts, flirty moments, sizzling sexual tension, and longing glances.
Mixed in through it all is the POV of a third character, a dangerous presence from Melanie’s past. Unbeknownst to Luke or Melanie, that danger is creeping closer and closer to Melanie’s present, bit by bit, and it may very well threaten everything that they are rebuilding together.
I loved this book so much. I loved how Luke embraced Hot Mess Express Melanie (seriously, as a hot mess myself, I related to her so much!), and her chaos was a soothing balm to him. I love that he connected with her voice (she’s a voice actress) before even knowing who she was. I loved how they were both able to acknowledge the miscommunication that led to their breakup in high school, and how they have grown and matured in the years since. And I especially loved seeing the Baileys around town, the cameo from Brynn Miles at Salishan Cellars, and the mention of Cara and Logan at the football game.
Narrators Erin Mallon and Marcio Catalano did a wonderful job portraying Melanie and Luke. I especially loved how Erin Mallon played all of Voice Actor Melanie’s different characters throughout the story. But I especially loved how Robert Hatchet (who has become one of my favorites!) just nailed the creepy antagonist in Whispers and Wildfire!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
