Already burned once by love, DC metro firefighter Seth Ripley thought he'd learned his lesson--women who break the rules are against the rules. When a hot blonde catches his eye at the annual fireman's ball, he's interested. But she's breaking the buddy rules and that makes her against his rules. So why does he want to burn the rule book?Trauma surgeon Eden Thomas has never experienced anything like the inferno raging inside after one kiss from the new firefighter. Despite her best friend's warnings to take care, self-preservation is the last thing on Eden's mind as she starts to play with fire.
The problem is that when you play with fire, you might just get hurt.
Why I Read this Book: Firefighters! Need I say more?
What I Liked: This Fire was kind of a twofer. There's two love stories going on – one that is just beginning between Seth and Eden, and then there’s a secondary love story that has already been established. The primary focus is on Seth and Eden but it was nice to follow the other couple’s relationship and struggles as well. Hell, I would like to read the secondary couple’s book, if there was one.
Eden knows what she wants and she speaks her mind. She is also a very good friend and will do anything to help her two best friends. And keeping her friends' secrets has a huge effect on her relationship with Seth. It actually becomes a pretty big conflict between Eden and Seth, to the point where she has to make a decision. The conflict felt genuine and the outcome was realistic. No drama llama needed.
When I found out in the very beginning that Eden is a virgin, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book. But since her virginity wasn’t overly emphasized, it didn't bother me too much.
What I Didn’t Like: There’s a scene where Eden’s friend is giving her a foot rub and it goes into details about using hand sanitizer on her feet first. I get that it’s realistic but it’s just something I don’t want to read about. It sort of takes the fun out of getting a foot massage.
Memorable Moment:
“I am very attracted to you. I would very much like to see whether that attractions goes anywhere.”
“This kind of attraction goes straight to bed, sweetheart.”
Overall Impression: This Fire was a good story about friendship and love, and I wish this was a series so I could read about the other firefighters.
