Through the Fire is the conclusion of another great series by Katie Ruggle.

I love those shy, sweet mountain men that Katie Ruggle keeps putting in her stories. In this last novel of the Rocky Mountain K9 Unit, we meet Wesley March who spends most of his time alone up in his tower, like a big, bearded Rapunzel, where he watches over the town to alert the fire department about forest fires.

Wesley is smart, and when he isn't watching for fires or taking amazing nature photos, he invests gadgets and whatzits. The only things that Wes isn't very good with is people. But Wes is smart enough to know this about himself and usually discusses any issues with his sister to determine where he might have gone wrong.

Lately he had to make a special trip to the bat cave. No, not that kind of bat cave, but the one with real bats. That is the only place on the mountain to get reception and he needs his sister's help. He has met a new resident to their quaint little town of Monroe, Colorado, Officer Kit Jernigan. The newest addition to the K9 unit is, in a word, mezmerizing, and overwhelming. Okay, two words. So a trip to the bat cave was necessary so that Wes could check in with his sister since he thinks...well, he thinks she was flirting with him. But he isn't really certain of it.

And if she is, then Wes is going to have to work up the nerve to actually ask her out because he has never met anyone like Kit before. She seems to understand him and she doesn't seem to mind when he can't think up something to talk about.

Wes doesn't mind being alone in his mountain tower but if he could maybe spend that time alone, with Kit, that would be amazing.

There is absolutely nothing more adorable than a big, mountain of a man who is geeky, shy and who blushes. Kit and Wes sparkle from the get-go and the only thing frustrating is that there was so much story plot and excitement, that we didn't get enough of the quiet and sweet Kit/Wes moments.

In this final installment, we get to tie up all the loose ends and a new arrival is trying to tie them up permanently. There is so much going on it will be hard to find a place to stop for the night so this might be one you save for a weekend book binge.

I have really enjoyed both of the Katie Ruggle's series and her very interesting characters, although I think it is time to write a story somewhere there isn't so much snow. Ugh, who can live like that? I have a copy of the next book which will be out this fall and which is the beginning of a new series which will involve more...mountains and snow. What's wrong with a beach rescue?

I am looking forward to seeing what the next series brings.

Received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
