Disaster brought them together and, despite desire, may ultimately keep them apart. Wind. Fire. Ice. Love. Nothing for Gable McCoy and Erin Richards seems to go smoothly. From the tornado that sets its sights on them, to the perils they face as volunteer firefighters, the forces of nature conspire to bring them close to danger, and closer to each other. From the author of the acclaimed intrigue/romance, Hunter's Pursuit.

3.5 Stars. 3 Stars for the book plus 0.5 stars for the narration by Charley Ongel. Its one of those audio books that I feel was enhanced by an excellent narrator. I loved the soft southern accent that she gives Gable. 

This is a first person as told by 46 year old Gable, a pharmacist and a first year volunteer firefighter. She meets 31 year old music teacher, Erin, when she finds Erin trapped in her basement after a freak tornado. As they wait for hours for help, they bond, killing time talking about everything, discovering they have a lot in common. Gable finds out the one thing they don't have in common-Gable is gay and Erin is not. They become close friends, but Gable is reluctant to tell Erin she is gay. Unfortunately, Gable is also falling in love with Erin. Erin also has secrets which Gable assumes the worst. But of course they don't talk about it...

The book does show its age. It was published in 2005 - the time of landline phones and answering machines and not everyone had or wanted cellphones. Amazing how fast technology changed.
