Prairie Flame

Written by Iris Forester

Narrated by Sharmila Devar

Suzanna hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way in Grouse Prairie, managing the now thriving feed and general store that’s the heart of her world and small town.

So when an outlander rolls in with plans to sell her livelihood, Suzanna won’t let it go without a fight, no matter how attractive the guy is. Lean, handsome, and an urban dork, Milo struggles to find his footing amongst the tight-knit town. Slowly shedding his city-slicker image, Milo is enchanted by the way Suzanna holds the land and town close to her heart.

Suzanna can’t deny the spark she feels for Milo as he goes out of his way to help the town. But with the unsettled debts of his father’s estate looming over their every interaction, Suzanna’s growing affection for Milo is primed for a betrayal.

With charming townsfolk and a spunky heroine, Iris Forester’s enemies to lovers romance Prairie Flame will leave you yearning for open skies and a partner with a heart of gold.

Reviews for Prairie Flame

[Cricket · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Couldn’t finish as it is so poorly written. Cannot recommend.

Bill hairs review is spot on. The h acts like a child and does not even make amends

[Bill Hair · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This had the potential for being a 5 Star read for me but I just couldn't get past how juvenile the h was throughout most of the story.

The h is 37 but acted like a spoiled 17 year old throughout most of the story and her friends fed into her behavior.

When she stumbles/snoops into the plans the H has for the store, she goes ballistic, refuses to talk to him about it, kicks him out into a nasty blizzard, cuts off all communications and then conspires with her friends to make him miserable.

She barely makes amends when she finds out what he was really trying to do and lightly acknowledged that she was in the wrong. If I am the H, I am getting as far away from the H as humanly possible.

Why 3 Stars? I did like the story and wish that the H had been written closer to her age.

Very disappointing last few chapters. The story was rushed at the end. The very very quick turn around is not realistic. The MC was also very irritating and immature. There was also no growth.
