Gage lives for his Reaper brothers and he is currently proving just how deep his loyalties lie. Working undercover, everything about his current life is a cover. His girlfriend, his job, even his name. But he is attracted to his landlady, Tinker Garrett, and though he can't do anything about it, he has plans for Tinker when this job is over. 
 Tinker Garrett thought she wanted one thing out of life, but when that perfect life turned into a farce, she returned home to care for her dad in her childhood home. She is a business owner, confident in herself, driven and comfortable in her skin (usually). 
 The chemistry between them is strong, despite Gage's involvement with Talia Jackson, his target. These two are very aware of the other, though they go to great pains to maintain a distance -- Talia is not known for being subtle or kind. Tinker couldn't be more different from Talia for many reasons, and Gage quickly realizes what his type really is. 
 Gage is alpha to his core. Bossy, commanding, and thoughtful about protecting what is his. And Tinker is his long before she knows it. He is careful to keep his focus on his objective, until the fire that burns between them becomes too much to fight. But even as he gives in to the attraction, he is clear about his boundaries, though maybe not about his truths. 
 The addition of the wildfire threat throughout the storyline is very apropos for the geographic area. Having watched my own town threatened with fires, the narrative is brutally honest about what it's like to watch a fire spread and grow (understandable as Wylde faced the same thing while writing Reaper's Fire). I loved the parallel between what was happening in the story as well. 
 There was one aspect I would have liked more resolution, but not enough that it held me back from enjoying this book. While Gage is a member of the Reapers, the previous couples are only present in the very background of this book, as the bulk of the action takes place outside of the Reaper's territory. Picnic, Painter, Levi, and Hunter do pop in at key moments, but for the most part Gage is on his own in Hallie's Falls. 
 I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
