A stubborn business owner, a volunteer firefighter, a forgotten past, and an arsonist. Is it a recipe for love or disaster?

Élodie Paradis won't let two devastating fires and a theft stand in her way. She's set on keeping her family's Sugar Bush running like it has for one hundred years. She needs to hire a contractor to rebuild the cabin. The only available builder is a man she refuses to trust. He's burned her twice before, and she's fresh out of forgiveness.

Bastian Roy is fighting hard to leave his philandering reputation behind. As a volunteer firefighter, he strives to be a respected Eastwood resident. The perfect opportunity comes knocking when the town's jewel needs to be rebuilt. If he can figure out what grudge Élodie holds against him, it will be the best job to solidify his family legacy.

Tensions run hot between them, slipping from prejudice to friendship. Together, they'll build something new. But relationships are fragile when they're built on a shaky past. Especially when tragedy lurks just around the corner.

This small-town enemies-to-lovers slow burn is the first book in the Caribou River series but can be read as a standalone.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it so much I want more!

Firebreak is the first book in the Caribou River series and it can be read as a standalone. It is an enemies to friends to lovers love story that I couldn’t put down.

There’re so many things to love in this book. It is beautifully written for starters. I really liked the storyline and how Bastien and Élodie get to start spending time together. I really enjoyed Élodie’s personality, especially her intensity. And Bastien is a great guy with a lot to prove, especially to himself. They are great together. They have so much chemistry you can almost feel the heat they create when they are together. And the banter is top notch. It is a bit of a slowburn, but the kind that keeps you reading without stopping. The buildup is so good though. The longing, the attraction, the second thoughts… it’s perfection.

The story is set in a Canadian Sugar Bush that produces maple syrup, so it has this lovely farm slash small town vibe. Bastien is a volunteer firefighter slash contractor, and there’s an arsonist on the loose, so there’s also an atmosphere of danger in the background that certainly hightens the intensity of the story.

I loved the side characters a lot. I definitely want to know more about them and read the next books in the series. They give depth to the story and help Bastien and Élodie gain some perspective. I love how Basien and Élodie’s relationship evolves, how they interact and how they make each other better people. How much they grow. They are people you can definitely relate to, and they are people I would love to have as friends. I really loved Firebreak and would highly recommend it.

Loved this book so much. I'm a sucker for books about firemen, especially hot ones like Bastian. I also love no nonsense strong female characters, like Elodie. Mix the two together and you get an amazing book. The characters were genuine, well written and had real issues they dealt with. The emotional scars both characters have, hit home with me. Who hasn't felt they weren't good enough or deserved to be happy at some point of their lives? I enjoyed meeting all of the characters and I hope Alexa Gregory has books planned for all of them. I also loved her writing style. I literally could not stop reading this book. I am vested in the characters and I can not wait to read Salvage and see where Rowan and Violet's story goes.

I absolutely loved this book. Firebreak kept me up past my bedtime, made my heart clench, and brought a deluge of happy tears.
Bastian and Elodie are twin flames, both fighting the demons of their pasts.
Their story is beautifully written. Alexa Gregory expertly weaves eloquence with realism, heat, and emotional depth.
I'm a sucker for vivid imagery. The stunning descriptions of Canada made me want to take a road trip up there. Plus, there are sweet treats involved. We're even gifted a recipe from the author's French Canadian grandmother!

I can't wait for the next book in the series!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

This book is so good! It will make you laugh and it will make you cry. I could actually feel how Elodie and Bastien were feeling. Alexa Gregory has that way about her books. This is the second book in the series and, I feel, could be a stand alone, but I highly recommend reading Backdraft also. It is the first book of the series and, as Colson and Beatrice's story, will give you more insight about the fires. I highly recommend this book, it is amazing!

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute read
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2021
Elodie wants to restore her beloved family business. She will do everything in her power to get it back up and running better than ever. Bastian wants nothing more than his father to trust him to take over his team and this project. To Bastian’s surprise Elodie is not his biggest fan. Can these two get past their issues? Can they really work together? What happens when you add sizzling chemistry into the mix? This was a cute story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional/ Slow Burn/Enemies to lovers along with a bit of intrigue and mystery
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2021
This was a new to me author who I am now thoroughly addicted to. If you love angst along with witty banter and even a deadly mystery involved you will love this one. You will need tissues but I promise you that there is an HEA. (I admit I was getting a bit worried about that. Alexa Gregory will keep you on the edge of your seat with this one)
Elodie and her family have lost some important pieces to their history, livelihood, and possible future to an arsonist. She must rebuild in order to secure a future for her family and their Sugar Bush and Farm. Unfortunately the only available builder is Bastian and he is the one man she does not want help from!
Bastian needs this job to not only rebuild the town's premier Sugar Bush but to also rebuild his reputation.
There is one problem, Elodie does not want Bastian to do the job.
When these two meet sparks fly but not just from them shooting glares at each other. They need each other but maybe not just for this rebuild of property but also to rebuild their hearts.

This is a wonderfully written book that is full of emotions. Bastian and Elodie struggle with their past as well as wanting to do right by their families. This is a story that was hard to put down.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
