Description

The steamy conclusion to the Wildfire Lake series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Skye Jordan. 


I knew the day we met, Chloe Hart wasn't a woman you fuck and forget. She's the kind of women men dream about--hotter than sin and sweeter than sugar. Her last lover scarred her heart, and despite our wicked chemistry, she's got me locked in the friend zone. 


She can try to ignore the heat between us, but I'm not going away. I transferred here to support my goddaughter through her teens after her father--my partner--was killed in the line of duty. And this kid is as good at finding trouble as Chloe is at sidelining me.


When Chloe's ex shows up for the lake resort's first big retreat, things shift on a dime. Without a second thought, I step in, publicly claiming her as mine. 


It seems like a harmless lie in the moment, but when one lie creates another, which creates another, the truth unravels, threatening everything I've come to love. 

The steamy conclusion to the Wildfire Lake series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Skye Jordan. 


I knew the day we met, Chloe Hart wasn't a woman you fuck and forget. She's the kind...

Chloe and Xavier are the perfect way to end this trilogy. She’s running from feeling anything and he’s stupidly playing games because he feels too much. But when Xavier sees the chance to make some headway with Chloe, even if it has to start out as a ruse, he’s all over it. Wading through the murky waters of past hurts and new awareness with these two made for a story I didn’t want to put down at all. And when Xavier shows just what a dumb man he can be, his determination to make it right melted everyone on the page and this reader at the same time. This was a fabulous way to give Chloe her happiness, along with the closure she desperately needed from her past so she can finally open her eyes to all that the future could be.

Chloe has spent the last year recovering from a breakup. Yoga and spiritual teacher she has been finding her way to deal with the heartache and upset from realising her relationship wasn’t as it seemed. Working alongside her best friends Laiyla and KT at the marina in Wildfire Lake she’s slowly starting to find herself again.

Xavier is relatively new in town and met Chloe a year ago when she first arrived. With a banter-filled friendship forming between them, even though he has expressed a desire for more – Chloe isn’t ready to date. Especially when she knows that he has had several relations with other women in town.

A yoga retreat at the marina suddenly puts Chloe’s head into a spin when the retreat leader turns out to be her ex. Xavier steps forward to say that they are dating to take the pressure off Bodhi being there. A fake relationship turns into friends with benefits. However, issues with Xavier’s goddaughter Piper stand to form a wedge between the two of them. Can they overcome the issues? Will Chloe ever be able to fully trust a man again?

Friends turned lovers story, one to pull on your heartstrings and route for true love.

I loved Chloe's and Xavier's book. We watched their chemistry sizzle across the first two books and we finally watched it explode and saw hearts soar.

Chloe deserves the guy who focuses on her and not other women, who gives her everything she needs and Z is that guy. These two became best friends and got to know each other before Chloe gave into their undeniable chemistry.

I think the book was over way too soon and we could have spent more time with these characters. I can't get over that at all the times pink showed up, pink is every where but it fits with her signs. Great book!

I really enjoy Jordan's novels, and try to read them fairly soon after the come out. However, I have no recollection of reading the previous entries into this series. Swept Away made me want to go back and seek them out. Chloe and Xavier are a cute couple, and the friends to lovers trope is a classic for a reason.

I loved the ending to the Wildfire Lake series. Especially as it is Chloe and Xavier’s story. And what a story those two have. We've seen some of the banter between the two in the previous two books. This time around pretending to have a relationship, I saw Chloe slowly stop fighting her attraction to the wildly attractive cop. Trust is something hard for Chloe these days, throw in a teenage goddaughter trying to fit in at school and a former boyfriend who turns up there can only be complications. Z has a tough job in getting her to trust again while saving those he loves around them.

4.5 stars

This is just shy of 5 stars for me. Chloe is the last of the her friends to find the one. Xavier thinks he should be top on the list but with his playboy ways and with how she was hurt in the past, she's hesitant.
The book was fast paced and fun to read. They had heat and chemistry. I liked how the characters interacted with old friends and new alike.
The only thing I didn't care for is that while Xavier was in lust with Chloe for a year be still played around. He loving her seemed rather quick.
Other than that I really enjoyed the drama and characters.

I was fortunate enough to receive this through NetGalley. I haven't read a Skye Jordan book in some time so I'm glad I got this opportunity. I will say that this was the first book I read in this series and was able to follow along fine however now I NEED to read the first two because I loved all of the characters so much I want all of their stories. Xavier and Chloe are a bit of a slow burn with lots of resistance due to Chloe's belief that Xavier is a player only Xavier knows that he's only playing the other women in town until Chloe moves him out of the friend zone. Xavier's kind of perfect and he's a cop so all was right in my world while reading. lol Chloe is a badass in her own right. Business owner with multiple platforms and outlets only with a jaded heart from her ex. I loved their journey and once their relationship shifts from friends to lovers it's really sweet, a lot spicy and so much fun.

We have watched Chloe and Xavier dance since the very first story in this series and boy was this worth the wait. Chloe has been hurt and has sworn off men and Xavier has been so patient to build an amazing friendship with her. Once they are "forced" to be a couple the sparks fly and they realize they truly do love each other. I even learned how to think about some things from Chloe's teachings that will stay with me for a long time. Although this story is stand-alone - it is also a lovely story about friendship and to truly enjoy you should read all 3 in the series. I loved this story and series.

A great conclusion to the series. I love Chloe. Struggling to overcome past hurts while living her life to the fullest makes her so relatable. And Xavier. Hes always been one of my favorite characters. I especially love how he realizes the depth of feeling he has for Chloe and how his past with women wasn't as great as he thought. The chemistry between the two is sexy and steamy while the friendship is sweet. I'll miss all these characters.

5 Stars for this cute yet emotional romance!

This is my favorite book of the series. I just loved Chloe and Xavier! Chloe is just this free spirit and I couldn’t help but love her ... the way she talked to herself and truly believed that angels listened to her. Then there’s Xavier ... who wouldn’t love a hot guy in uniform, even though he was a playboy! All the ladies in town sure wanted a piece of him. I could just feel the pages burning when Xavier and Chloe were within a metre of each other.

I was a little disappointed in Xavier because even though he wanted Chloe for the last year, he didn’t stop dating ... but I guess that made it all the more realistic. I loved the banter between all the characters. Then the side story of Xavier's goddaughter Piper, is a very realistic view of what teenagers face today. I really wanted to give Piper’s mom a swift kick ... I just thought she was very selfish. That’s the sign of a great book when a person gets emotionally involved in the story. This is a series that I just didn't want to end.

This was the third book in the Wildfire Lake Series, and it was awesome.
This is Chloe and Xavier's story. They have been dancing around romance since they met a year ago. Sparks always fly when they are near each other, but Chloe is determined to keep Xavier in the "friend zone." But when Chloe's ex shows up at her 10 day retreat, she doesn't know how she will face him and work alongside him. In steps Xavier with the perfect solution, pretend to date him for 10 days so it shows Chloe is off the market. But, when events in their personal lives come in between them, will they be able to trust in each other enough to live happily ever after?
I love these two characters and truly enjoyed their long overdue story. Great series, recommend you read it in order, just makes it that much better.

I received a free ARC copy of this book from NETGALLERY prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I have really loved this series so much. It is very much chick lit but also a really wonderful romance. Its about 3 women who meet during a tornado and bond for life. Now they all live in the same town while they help their friend find love, acceptance and a business that her grandfather left her. This is the last story in the series and features Chloe, who teaches Yoga in town and also runs events for the houseboat company her friend runs.

When she arrived in town she was just out of a relationship and met hot Xavier. But he is a bit of the playboy so she stayed away using her broken heart as an excuse. Now they have become friends while he still keeps dating everyone in town. That is until Chloe's ex comes to town for a seminar and Xavier steps in to save her and thats when the book gets really good.

This book was absolutely wonderful. It stands alone but I think its the best one. Chloe and Xavier as super wonderful together and I loved watching them be there for each other.

Skye Jordan’s final book in the Wildfire Lake series did not disappoint! I have been anticipating the chemistry between Xavier and Chloe since they first met in an earlier book and was rewarded for my patience. Their story has twists and turns, friendship, steam, past and present heartbreak that ultimately leads to their happily ever after. I don’t want it to be the end. My only wish for this story was a small tie in of Chloe’s sisters but definitely did not deter from an excellent 5 star read!

Review featured at www.books-n-kisses.com

I love Skye Jordan. There is something about the way she writes and her characters are always wonderful. This is Chloe’s story and she is not looking for love. I mean I felt she didn’t even want it if it was standing in front of her waving its arms. Xavier and Chloe have been friends but it’s a romance so come on your know there will be more!!!

Sure some of the scenario is the same… friends to lovers to soulmates… but that is ok. The way Skye writes it is worth the read.

I love the relationship between Xavier and his teenage God-daughter, Piper.

You can count on Skye Jordan having hot men, strong women, sweet romance and steamy sex scenes and all of that and more are part of this great story. A must read!

I actually really enjoyed this book!

I enjoyed the rich cast of characters and found them unexpectedly likeable - particularly Xavier!

I appreciated the strength that Chloe showed after moving on from a bad relationship, but most of all the drive and passion she showed towards her career!

A must read for fans of friends to lovers romance.

It is important to note this book is a standalone but is the third in a series so I think reading the other books first would definitely enhance the reading experience!

A solid four stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I was so excited to receive a complimentary copy of Swept Away. This is the 3rd book that could be read as a standalone. I've read all three, and liked them all equally. Skye Jordan has it all, romance, drama, chemistry conflict, friendships, and everything in between. I was super sad to see this trilogy come to an end, but I've just found my new "favorite" author. Keep them coming Ms. Jordan.
