Synopsis
WARNING: This is not your every day perfect love story wrapped in a pretty bow. It's raw, real, beautiful, and heartbreaking. It touches on issues of depression, bipolar, and an epic love story that everyone hopes to have, and might even have, but forgets in the chaos of mundane every day life. This is a REAL love story based on actual events of a man who loved a woman too deeply and a woman who loved a man the only way she could.
If you dig into the deepest parts of your soul, what would you find? Happiness, pain, love, regret, peace, sorrow? Now imagine experiencing all those feelings at once and then nothing at all. These were the average days in the life of Lennox Ashford.
Lennox walked a fine line between truth and deception, love and lust, and most of all, pain and happiness. A line had been drawn between highs and lows, testing her stability on a daily basis. She lived in between the grays of right and wrong, not knowing which way to sway. Strength was supposed to come from within, but being broken exposed her weaknesses instead.
She grew up believing in love and believing in Dean. He protected her when she was weak, picked her up when she fell, and fought for her when she couldn’t. They lived for each other, and eventually, for their children.
High school, college, marriage, children, and many rocky days had taken a toll on their marriage, deepening Lennox’s depression and screaming for a way out. She needed something. She needed a change. Fate intervened and the change she got was not what she expected nor wanted.
A tragic moment will test her already wavering strength and leave a permanent scar on her conscience. Follow her journey of rediscovering love and searching for her own fairy-tale ending.

Crystal's Review
A Firefighter's Flame: A Novel by D. HartMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was something, wow. The raw emotion. It was a tough subject matter. I give props to Dani for even tackling it. Some points in the book got a little confusing as to what time frame it was in, the flashbacks were often. This book is more about mental illness, than about romance. So if you are looking for a good Romance read, this is not it. There were a few 'what the heck' moments, but with mental illness that happens. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a serious read. There were good spots, but it was mostly lows in Lennox's life. It made it real, everything isn't sunshine and roses.
