Flashpoint (Forged in Fire) Kindle Edition
She was my best friend's wife—strike one.
Now, she's a firefighter's widow—strike two.
And she wants nothing to do with a man who risks his life every day—strike three.
Keeping an emotional distance from Natalie while still taking care of her after Evan died has been one of the biggest challenges of my life. One I've managed for two years.
Right up until she starts dating again, which kicks off a heated argument and ends in a soul-searing kiss. Once that line is crossed, there's no going back.
I eat, breathe, and sleep firefighting. It's not just what I do, it's who I am. I fuckin' love this job. I never thought I'd ever let anything come between me and my career, but Natalie isn’t just anything. In fact, she's everything—everything I never knew I wanted but now can't live without.
The odds aren't in our favor. If this job doesn't tear us apart, the secret I've been harboring will.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2022A great second chance romance. A must read story. The firefighters opened a bar and grill called Cockloft dedicated to Evan, a firefighter killed in the line of duty. “In engineering terms, a cockloft is that space above the ceiling and below the rafters, similar to an attic. In firefighting terms, a cockloft is a potential death trap, where fire can travel laterally across multiple spaces below, often undetected”.
Cole is a firefighter. He has worked hard to get where he is at. After his best friend was killed in a fire, he was more determined than ever to rise in the ranks. He’s been helping Natalie fix things around the house, mostly out of guilt. Guilt that he let Evan down, guilt that he has feelings for his best friends wife, no not wife but widow. And now she’s dating and I lost my chance.
Natalie lost her husband in the line of duty. “When Evan died, everyone promised they wouldn’t drift away, but of course many did”. Cole comes over to fix things, and that’s it. We use to be friends but I’m nothing but an obligation to him. I lost most of our friends when he died. When do I get to start my life again?
- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2021Natalie and Cole have been friends for years. Natalie was married to Coles best friend Evan who died fighting a fire. Cole has secretly been in love with Natalie when the 3 of them met years before. After years alone Natalie is ready to love and live again. This is a wonderful and sweet friends to lovers story with a HEA set in the world of sexy as sin firefighters. I give it 4/5 stars
- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2023I loved reading this amazing story. The depth of the characters, the real-life elements, and the intensity and intrigue kept me totally invested.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2021I liked the story but just didn’t love it. Jordan’s writing skill is flawless and enjoyable to read. I just did not fall in n love with the characters.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2021Fabulous and compelling friends to lover’s romance. Cole’s dedication and passion to be a fireman drives his life but from the moment he met Natalie, there was a spark for something more. The problem was he wasn’t ready for a relationship so when Evan fell in love with her, he stepped back. Natalie’s passion is her baking and her dream of opening a bakery but also wanting to be a mother, being a widower wasn’t part of her plan. For now, she helps her mother run her café and bakes for café and local businesses in town. Then one day, everything shifts when she has to pull her mother from the café’s burning kitchen. As Natalie works through all the changes and wonders how she will handle everything, Cole is a constant, there to lean on and help however she needs. Their spark starts to ignite but is Natalie willing to give her heart to another firefighter? Or will the fear of losing him through his job keep her heart frozen? I loved being pulled into this community and the lives of Cole and Natalie.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2021I wasn’t expecting what I got. I liked how the story was written. The development of the relationships. There are were some passionate parts, but just enough though. Good work.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2023A fantastic story that I couldn’t put down! Cole and Natalie were amazing and so perfect for each other. Both were such strong individuals that I just loved! This was a beautifully written love story with real depth! Very highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2021This is exactly what I needed to read, even if I didn’t know it. A little friends to lovers, a good dose of angst, but nothing overwhelming.
Just two people working their way through life to get to one another.
I loved the strength between them together as well as individually. Cole’s dedication. To Natalie. His friends. To his career.
And Natalie’s as well. To her mom. Cole. Her career.
I can’t think of anything about this that I didn’t enjoy, even for a minute.

4.0 out of 5 stars hot and romantic
Cole has been in love with his best friends wife for almost as long as he’s known her, but he wasn’t ready for her and his best friend was. When Natalie’s firefighter husband dies his best friend tries to help her out when he can, but she notices he’s not the friend he used to be and she not only misses her husband but her friend as well. She decides it’s time to move on with her life and suddenly Cole wants to have a say in what she’s doing. Turns out he was trying to keep his distance because it’s not ok for one firefighter to fall for his dead colleague’s wife! Natalie is drawn to Cole, but feels guilty and doesn’t think she could go through losing someone else because of their dangerous job. They try to stay apart, a series of disasters in Natalie’s life bring them together. There are lots of roadblocks in their way, but they are not enough to keep them apart. Natalie has so many trials thrown at her and is so strong, sweet and determined. Cole has a difficult childhood that won’t seem to leave him alone, but he is loyal, hot, smart, focused and in the end realises what is really important in life.

4.0 out of 5 stars addictive quick read
4/5 ⭐️ 3/5 🥵
Come across this recommendation in Tictok and it was a cute read.
Watching both characters navigate the grief of loosing someone they both care about and love and fighting the attraction they have while being scared of people’s views around them.
short read you can get through pretty fast

3.0 out of 5 stars Good
Nice story. Plenty of drama. Might just be me but it didn't pull me to finish it in one go.
