My Review: I liked it more than I anticipated. For some reason, I'm not initially drawn to "firefighter" type books, but this book fit into some reading challenges I am working on and so I picked it up. I was very pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed it. The plot is there, the character development is there, all in all it's a well rounded book. The only thing that had me a tad annoyed was when major things would happen and it seemed like the main characters would just get wrapped up in their lust for each other, or inner monologues and... forget (?)... that something just happened. Things that would have a person in real life saying "holy mother of pearl!" and then scrambling for a phone to call 911. But, instead they're overcome with lust and will think about the 911-worthy event later. And, yes, I know, this is fiction and not real life. ;-) I would definitely pick up another one of Bella Andre's books. This book was worth the read!
After reading I would say I'm an A!
