IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT, STAY THE HELL OFF THE STAGE.

Twenty years ago, four high school students came together to form what became one of the most successful R&B girl groups of their time. F.I.R.E. was as hot as their name, known for their natural sex appeal and sometimes risqué music. The bad girl, the golden child, the chubby, lovable one, and the pretty tomboy grew up in front of the world; and as they navigated the road to fame, they lost themselves amid the limelight.

Inflated egos, creative differences, personality conflicts, and addiction created discord among the ladies; but lead singer Shai’s decision to go solo ultimately ended the group’s eleven-year run. Though Shai never missed a beat, Paris, KiKi, and Reign were left to remix their careers.

Now in their mid-thirties, an unexpected and widely publicized reunion brings the ladies of F.I.R.E. to the table to consider making one last album together. With animosity and damaging secrets still looming over them, will they be able to move forward without clearing the air or will they each spill the tea they brought along with them?

Shai, Kiki, Reign, and Paris were a part of the famous R&B group, F.I.R.E. They formed the group while in high school and became one of the most successful R&B groups on the music scene. But as we know from the history of R&B groups of the past – there’s always drama brewing in the background.

The group ended up going their separate ways. As fate would have it the group has an opportunity to reignite the fire they once had. (Pun intended) Will these friends be able to put their egos aside to launch a successful comeback?

F.I.R.E. Reignited lives up to its name. This book was able to reignite my reading juices. I’m convinced of a few things about Author Portia A. Cosby – she has worked behind the scenes with a few R&B groups, has the inside scoop on the R&B scene, or was a former R&B singer.

Ok… Maybe none of those things are true but the way this author was able to weave this story together effortlessly made my head spin. The author delivers a great story that will have readers desiring more. The stage has been set and I can’t wait to see how everything plays out.

One thing I can say with confidence is that Author Portia A. Cosby is an author that you need to know.
