Where there’s smoke, there’s fire…

Callie
Becoming a firefighter has been my life’s goal. I’ve overcome every obstacle and I’ve
finally made it to the top of the ladder: to the role of Rivers Crossing first
ever female Fire Chief. But there’s a teeny, tiny (okay…big) problem. And it
comes in the form of a very hot firefighter in my crew.

Tyler Holmes. The man I slept with ten years ago.Apparently, the fire that began between us back then still burns scorching hot and his

charm still fans the flames. But as his new boss, I must treat him just like
everyone else under my command.

Even if my traitorous body remembers exactly what happened when I was under his commands in bed.My options are limited. I either ignore this attraction and douse it with cold
water or let it burn my career down to ash.

Tyler

Ten years and I’m still thinking about her. Ten years of comparing every woman
against her. And now she’s here, standing in front of me…as my boss.

Callie’s even more gorgeous than I remember. But as Chief Bartholomew she’s all
business. She doesn’t want to admit that what we had was more than a spark, it
was an inferno. And if she’d just get past her stubbornness, she’d see the
attraction between us is still scorching hot.

Only now she’s in charge and I don’t know if I can accept her as my chief. I don’t
even know if I can accept that I still want her?

Because if I admit there’s still something between us, I might have to leave the job I
love in order to keep the woman that I still burn for.

Review

Callie is a heroine we can all get behind. She’s fought hard to move up the ladder of a male-dominant profession and wants to be seen as just another peer. Tyler is a hero that helps her do just that, while loving her through it.

This book is HOT in more ways than one. Callie and Tyler connect before going through the fire academy, and when they are reunited ten years later, their temps have only gotten hotter.

With experience, loss, and life under their belts, these two characters bring all they’ve got every day to work. When Callie and Tyler square off, the tension only strengthens their bond.

I love that Tyler is unafraid to admit that there are some seriously archaic policies and practices in firehouses across the country, and he’s also willing to use his own position within his community to prove that Callie deserves just as much respect (or more) as any other firefighter serving.

This book has a bit of suspense, because Callie isn’t exactly welcomed into the community. There’s some shady behavior, but I wanted just a little bit more from the suspense portion. It left me wanting things to go just a *little* bit further… for Callie to face a threat head-on, for someone in the community to come after her instead of just threaten her, etc.

The book does an incredible job showcasing the sacrifices of those who serve, including firefighters and military personnel.

Overall thoughts: The book was hot and I could really get behind these characters and their story! I’m excited for the next installment! 3.5/5 stars
