ARC Review: Scorching Summit by E.M. Langston

Publication Date: September 1, 2025

Scorching Summit was the second-chance romance we all needed! Andrew and Sam’s story was more than just their romance coming back to life. It was a story of patience and hard work, as well as two people committing to learn about the present rather than living in the past. 

There was something so lovely about watching these characters come back together after time and misconceptions kept them apart. Sam’s role as a female firefighter in particular really added to their dynamic. It forced these two to finally have the conversations they should have years ago, and I loved seeing how honest communication really benefited them. 

I loved how E.M. Langston didn’t shy away from showing the good and bad of being a firefighter. Sam and Andrew’s shared job comes with so many risks, but seeing the compassion they both showed towards others really highlighted something special within them. The community around the firehouse was so important for Sam and Andrew as well, and I loved that found-family aspect of the story.

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
