From cats in trees to people dangling out windows of their three story homes, firefighter Rick Alderman has seen it all. He's been on the force for two decades now and is anxiously heading towards retirement.

Best Series

T.K. Chapin is an author who continues to grow as a writer. This is his best series yet. I found Up In Smoke to be a wonderful thought provoking addition to the Ember and Ashes Series. This book has a realistic look at life and marriage. Chapin does not sugar coat the everyday walk in the Christian life but reveals the struggles and pitfalls through Rickâs story. There are surprises and disappointments but victories too. I really like how this author using the support and the accountability between the main characters, the secondary characters and God. That is definitely a blueprint for real lives.

The plot deals with many issues such as guilt, forgiveness, personal revival, secrets, truth and pretend. There is attention to detail and well developed characters who are flawed but forgiven. Was I surprised that Rick was the main character struggling in this story? Perhaps but that only served to keep this series fresh and original.

another great read by this author!

Up in Smoke, written by T.k. Chapin, is a great addition to the Embers and Ashes Series. This is book three of this Christian Romance series about the firemen at Fire Station No. 9 in Spokane. This series of books is all written from the point of view and lives of a different fireman of the station. I love the way that T.k. Chapin focuses on the male perspective. Each book is inspirational in a different way and his book, Up in Smoke, enhances the series. Each book could be read as a standalone, but reading them in order of the series reinforces the plots as you read about the different characters in the different book(s) and the relationships are able to be appreciated in a greater way. Up in Smoke adds more suspense to this series. You'll find yourself on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what direction Chapin goes with several of the characters!

Rick Alderman is the main character of Up in Smoke. I liked how Chapin takes Rickâs life and shows us that in the midst of making some really stupid decisions and then trying to lie his way out of them, Rick can find redemption in the midst of a HUGE mess heâs made of his life. Rick is a man in his 50âs so his decisions donât just affect him, but his wife of 30 years and his adult daughter and her husband and even down to his grandchildren. Thereâs never a quick fix to change bad decisions that have taken years to accumulate bad results, but with faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and the knowledge that He alone can forgive and help change a personâanything is possible with Christ.
