My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When one accident happens and you lose everything. That’s what’s going on when we enter the firehouse 13 world in Burned By Fire. A story about finding oneself and learning to accept the love given to you.
Solomon saved 2 children from a fire, but he paid the ultimate price. His career is gone. Forced in early retirement by the fire department due to extensive injuries he’s become a lost soul.
Ember’s hero was hurt and he’s spiraling faster than anyone can help him. She still pushes and tries though. She also uses that time to be honest with him.
This book is a wonderful story of redemption. Though Solomon feels his life is over. The author has him go through the trials and tribulations dealing with life after tragedy. I’ve seen people with injuries and mental health struggle. So this story hits home for me. I’ve also seen those people take a lot longer to move forward. Which is why this is a fictional romance, but a beautiful one at that!

You never know where you will fall in love. For Tia, who just needs to catch a break, and for Bridger who needs an image boost neither wanted anything just friends with benefits with no feelings attached. We all know how this is going to end one or the other gets feelings or is it the girl who falls first maybe this time is the hunky hockey play. You will have to read it to find out. I can not wait for the next in this series.

Love is Worth Fighting for (The Meraki Series #3) by Effie Kammenou

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Love is Worth Fighting for is the third book in The Meraki Series. I’ve read the other two books in the series and this one is by far my favorite.

Krystina is the youngest sister and is finally getting her chance at a love story. She wants to ridicule herself for falling for the boy who used to be her best friend. Will they work it out or will it end horribly? The quote I chose for Kristina is: “Inscribed? I didn’t even know that could be done. Forever my Minnie. Loukas. This is the most thoughtful gift ever! I’ll have to savor these so I don’t finish them off too quickly. And I’ll have to keep at least one as a souvenir.”

Loukas has always loved Krystina and might finally get his chance. They get Covid and have to be stuck in the same house 24/7. The quote I chose for Loukas is: “Considering Minnie finally admitted she didn’t hate me after all, I’d say the year ended up okay for me.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Burned by Fire (Firehouse 13 Book 4) by Danielle Jacks

Burned by Fire is the fourth book in the Firehouse 13 series. I truly enjoyed this book and its probably in the top 3 favorites of this author. I love her style of writing and her attention to detail along with amazing characters make for a amazing story. This is a fast paced short story that I read in one sitting. This is Sol and Ember’s story. He’s a bit of a grump but once you find out what happened to him the grumpiness makes a little sense.
He’s retired now and Ember is a fairly newly qualified. She’s had a secret crush on Sol for a while, there’s quite the age difference between them but really does that matter? This story took me on quite the emotional journey. I felt sadness for Sol but also anger at times The chemistry between them is definitely there regardless of the age difference. Find out what happens next in this hard to put down Romance. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

What another great addition to this already brilliant series, and easily my favourite of them all. I was really excited to get back into this story and the lives of the sisters. This book is just as emotional and endearing as the previous ones, really drawing you in to the characters and their journey. The author knows how to write the best story to fit each character and I think it adds so much more to the story.
The book had a brilliant flow about it, really engaging and easy to connect with. I found myself getting lost in the words as I was pulled along with what was happening. I enjoy each and every book this author produces and I can’t wait to discover what else she has to offer.

Once again C.J. Cartwright has managed to capture an audience! From start to finish there isn’t one bad thing I can say about this book! The characters are wonderful and leap off the page, the reader really feels like they are in the book with the characters and the story is fantastic and relatable! Tia, she’s a badass with rules… What are rules? Meant to be broken! Bridger he’s the boy everyone talks about but with Tia he’s soft and vulnerable! Together, together the story comes to life!

Sol has been forced to retire due an injury he sustained. This has led to him turning to the bottle to to deal. Ember is new rookie firefighter who has looked up to Sol as a mentor…while also harboring a crush. When they bump into each other, Ember wants to help him heal (heart and soul). However, they have her job and their age difference fighting against them! Will they give their love a chance? Or are they doomed from the start to be nothing more than a spark?

I enjoyed these characters. Ember is wise beyond her years. She is passionate about her career and mature than most her age. Sol is older…but not dealing with the loss of his job in a mature way. There were a few times when I had a hard time understanding his decision making, since he was a veteran firefighter, but I’m sure losing the ability to do what you love will make you do crazy things.

Overall, this is a quick read that is written in a way that makes you feel as though you are a part of the story. I have read a handful of books from this author and have never been disappointed. Another good story that I enjoyed reading!

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. One of the things I enjoy about this author is their ability to use details to make the story realistic. I enjoy how her writing skills make her stories pop and come to life. This story is no different. This is a well written story about Ember and Sol. They are both firefighters, one retired and the other newly qualified. There is a story of romance and realizing how much one means to the other. They have great chemistry and I enjoyed watching them grow throughout the story. They added so much to the story that they really packed a punch in a short time. This is a fast paced romance story that is hard to put down. An engaging story that you don’t want to miss. I really enjoyed reading this story. I highly recommend it.

I loved this story of Sol and Ember. This gave me all the feels of raw emotion of feeling like you lost your purpose in life, finding that someone who is behind you 100% and that you can find your purpose and have this special bond between two people.

Sol, a retired firefighter, is truly feeling like he lost his purpose after an accident and is trying to drown his sorrows in drink. His friends, including new recruit Ember, want Sol to get help, but Sol needs to be the one to help himself. Ember is all about her career and totally driven (which I love), but also loves and wants to support Sol to get better. Sol and Ember slowly discover the healing process Sol’s issues after the accident that left him unable to no longer work and that Ember wants to be there for him. Will Sol and Ember discover love is worth fighting and supporting each other for, even if there is some age gap? Definitely read and find out. I truly recommend this book, it is so good!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Burned by Fire is the first book I’ve read by this author. It was a short and an easy read, one that I found myself picking up in little crevices throughout my day.
I have to admit I was not a big fan of Sol as a character, I had a hard time connecting and sympathizing with him. Ember on the other hand, was a great main character. She was meant to be young at age 21 but she was mature and reasonable.
I enjoyed that the author alternated between perspectives throughout the book.
There were times where I was uncertain how much time had lapsed and I felt a bit lost but I attributed this to sporadically picking up the book.
Overall, I appreciated the storyline and would recommend the book to others.

What can I say….after seeing Bridger’s character in book 1 I wasn’t to psyched to read his book but boy was I wrong. Bridger definitely is much more then The author made him out to be. He’s hot….yes but he’s not at all like I pictured him from the description in book 1.
I’m glad I read this book and if I’m being honest, I loved it. Tia is such a strong character and I just love her. However she has had it rough. She got mixed up with the wrong guy who she thought would be her Prince Charming. Turns out he was just another piece of garbage not worth her time.
Tia and Bridger meet and right away they are attracted to eachother but make a pact to only have fun for the weekend and that’s it. Yea ok!!! When does that ever happen.
I really cannot get over the lengths Bridger and the thunder goes to for Tia or how Tia just on a whim, went to check on Bridger. Definitely one of the better books I’ve read recently. 5 heartfelt, hot stars!!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an enjoyable read. It is a short read however you do feel like you get the whole story and it doesn’t lack anything. I enjoyed the characters.
It was hard reading about Sol and how he worked so hard as a firefighter to be then injured and retired from doing what he loves. Reading about his downward spiral was hard but also relatable for quite a lot of people in that situation.
Ember is a young lady who joined just before Sol was retired. She had always looked up to him and admired him from afar. She sees how this injury has affected him and she wants to help him. Not just to help him though, she has always harbored an attraction towards him and sometimes friendship crosses over into love.
Things are plain sailing for them though, with Sols drink problem, Embers possible new career in another brigade and the newness that is their relationship can this couple work through it all and find happiness with each other?

I loved this book, the characters had that sweet essence, but with their own fire going. I loved their different personalizes as well as the walks of life they come from. The book was convincing and a wonderful read.

Sol and Ember were wonderful, they both were stubborn at times, there flame between them was undeniable to say the least. I loved watching them with scenes together, and how it played out. Sometimes with fire fighting, you have to risk it all and run into that burning house, I found that was what Sol and Ember both had to do. Leap of faith. Not be afraid and just do it. Their story was a quick and easy read, but all so wonderful. Enjoyed the author’s writing and how the story played out!

Loved this book, its quick, but very much amazing read. Loved the author’s writing style and character development. Highly recommend this must read book! Loved it from start to finish! Truly loved it!

What happens when the life you planned takes a curveball? That is what happens to the leading man in this book. He finds himself in a huge hole of self pity. Desperately trying to figure out what to do with himself. The leading female idolizes the main man. She was just starting out in the firehouse when he became injured. She feels like she can help him when she notices that he is struggling. The community that they belong to come to the aide. Together they try ti figure out a way for him to find a new path in life. This book is a short, quick read. It will have you second guessing what you would do if the plan that you are following changes for some unforeseen reason. It is a sweet romance with some steam. Overall, the book was a very good quick read.

I adored this book! I loved every part of this book and I fell in love with these characters. I found myself getting angry, wanting to cry (tears of happiness and joy), happy, and confused all the same at our main character.

Multiracial/multicultural and inspiring, Bree shows us the challenges of dating and getting over a tough breakup. Rules, judgments, and trust issues aside, Nate is PERFECT! Relatable and a page-turner, this book will have me looking for more works by Maria! I can’t wait to see what she does next!!

So I really struggled with this age gap firefighter romance. Connecting to the characters just was not there for me. I really liked the idea of the story which is why I picked it up. I mean who doesn’t love a firefighter story? Sol has a stress from his injury and he is gruff. Ember (who is a firefighter too!) has always liked Sol and misses him on the job. She tries to smooth out his rough edges but will he let her?

This is not my first book by this author. I usually enjoy her stories and characters but this one just fell flat for me. There is some anguish and drama along with the romance. So all good stuff but i think more expanding was needed. Sorry I wanted to love it but just couldn’t.

I absolutely devoured this book! I don’t know much about hockey but after reading this I want to learn. I finished this in one setting. Bridger is the bad boy of his hockey team and stirs up all kinds of trouble almost losing his job. Tia is a headstrong firecracker of a woman that has a past that keeps her from having a future. I love their banter and laughed out loud so many times. I really want more from the Astoria Bay World!

This book is book two of the series and can be read as a standalone. Book one should be read for an introduction to supporting characters but book two does a good job and kind of recapping who they are.

Bridger is in a funk. His game is suffering and his playboy lifestyle might be starting to catch up with him. As he tries to reinvent his image, per his agent, he meets Tia. Tia has sworn off Bridger’s type. The attraction is off the charts. How is she supposed to turn him away? Rules of course! No strings is easier said then done. Bridger has never been one for commitment so why is it so hard to get Tia out of his head?

I really enjoyed this book! I couldn’t put it down. I kind of didn’t like Bridger in the beginning but he grew on me. The chemistry and the snark and the banter between Bridger and Tia really pull you in!

This is one of those stories that when you start reading it you just fall in love with the characters. I loved everything about Sol and Ember, their journeys separately and their journey together. They were both such genuine and relatable characters and I was secretly rooting for them the whole way through. I loved the storyline as well, it was really easy to follow and the flow made the story such a. Pleasure to read. This is the first book that I have read from this series but not by this author. I love that her writing style never waivers which means I know when I pick up one of her books I am in for a great read and this one was no exception.
Overall a really lovely read and one that I would highly recommend.

Katrina

My best friend is my head. It keeps all my secrets.

Everything I’ve seen and heard in my loveless past makes sense now, and it’s led me to TJ. The faceless man I conjured in my mind. The missing puzzle piece.

I wasn’t prepared for sparks to fly, filling my life with endless love, comfort, and safety. TJ, Toby, and I are inseparable, like a genuine family. The old me is long gone. Or so I thought.

Right after I confess my love to TJ, I tumble into the black hole of hell. My perfect façade begins to crumble, and I can’t mask it anymore. Once TJ sees between the cracks, he’ll leave Toby and me, just like everyone else has. I’m a survivor, but losing him will destroy me.

TJ

When I love, I love big, and it’s my worst downfall.

After I burst through a stranger’s door, Katrina and her newborn son, Toby, are pushed into my world. My hopeful soul whispers to me that we’re meant to be together. Can I trust it, though?

On the best night of my life, the beautiful woman I gave my heart to isn’t the same one who’s kicking me out of her house right now.

My family says it’s just a phase, and I’m trying to be patient. But her unpredictable mixed signals weigh heavily on my chest. Will my heart be shattered into a million pieces again?

Katrina owns the key to my heart, and she’s the only one who can unlock it.

***This book was inspired by real-life events, but takes place in a fictional world. It features a lovable ex-NFL player turned chemistry teacher, and a single mom who’s never felt loved. It’s an intense single parent, emotionally explosive story, filled with swoony times and sweet baby moments. HEA guaranteed. Sensitive topics are addressed that may be triggering for some readers.

When my world is burning, I need to find a way out.

Sol

I’ve been forced to retire from the firehouse after an injury affecting the sensation in my arm, and now I’m lost. With no job and an ugly scar, I turn to the bottle to numb the pain of my new existence.

If I continue living in regret, I’m going to lose my home, my friends, and myself. Can the beautiful young firewoman that means more to me than I let on help me find a future without the service, or am I destined to live in the shadows of my former life?

Ember

I’m a newly qualified firefighter, but it’s just not the same without my mentor and long-time crush, Sol.

If I continue moving forward with my career, I risk us drifting apart. Can Sol, who’s eleven years my senior, finally become more than a friend, or will my job drive a wedge between us.

Body Checked (Astoria Bay Thunder #2)Body Checked by C.J. Cartwright
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series! Body Checked is a wonderful sports romance. The dynamic and chemistry between Bridger and Tia is undeniable. There’s just some obstacles and secrets on the road to happiness.
Nothing stays a secret forever, it always comes out. Unfortunately for Tia her secret is destroying her life even before meeting Bridger. Her ex-boyfriend won’t let her go, and takes great joy in destroying every aspect of her life. Which is why when she meets Bridger she keeps him at arm’s lengths as much as possible.
Bridger is in turmoil on the ice and in his personal life. In jeopardy of losing everything, his agent goes into damage control mode to clean up his image. Neither he nor his agent ever expected Tia to come barreling into his life, changing everything.
The author puts us on a rollercoaster of unrequited feelings and lust. The depiction of these two stubborn characters is perfect. There’s so much to lose for both of them, will they actually take a leap?
Will Tia’s ex-boyfriend come rolling in again to ruin it all?
I also really enjoyed how their story runs simultaneously with book one’s story between Brynn and Levi. The best part is you don’t have to read book one to enjoy book two. It’s a standalone as much as it’s a series. Not that you shouldn’t read both, especially if you love romance and hockey.

Power Play by CJ Cartwright is a second chance hockey romance. It is book one in the Astoria Bay Thunder hockey series. I know almost nothing about hockey but I definitely wish I did now! Brynn is recently newly divorced and looking to start over, new town, new life, new romance…. Or old? Levi is a professional hockey player who isn’t sure what he wants. Until he sees her and realizes who she is. Light hearted, cute, fun and flirty. Man what I wouldn’t do to be snowed in with a hockey team. The love, the heartbreak, the history, the story, it is all so perfectly written, I loved it. I couldn’t read the book fast enough to see how it ended. Super pumped for book two but I also neeeeeeed more of this couple!

Body Checked by CJ Cartwright is book two in the Astoria Bay Thunder hockey series. Though part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone but I PROMISE you that you’ll want to read the first!! This story follows Tia and Bridger. Let me tell you, this book was hot and delicious. Tia had some rough teen years that are coming around to bite her at every good thing that happens. Bridger is a playboy famous hockey star who needs to clean up his act. After what should have been just one spicy weekend together, the pair cannot deny their attraction and it turns into a give and take game of should we, shouldn’t we. Let me help, THEY SHOULD. Hands down an awesome pair to read about, so fun and flirty with relatable attitude. I’m itching for a book 3 to find out who will be next. Send some thunder my way!

Love is Worth Fighting forLove is Worth Fighting for by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

All Krystina wants to do is travel the world and be a famous blogger but when her Loukas her childhood nemesis decides to go along with her, as she goes through, she has no breathing room as he is constantly with her all the time. When they discover challenges long the way the most unlikely person helps her through Loukas.

So, when Krystina takes on the challenge to find her grandfather will they uncover the secrets of the past and locate the lost family member or will they be dragged into problems they never envisioned.

This is the third book in the series and follows the third sister Krystina, although this can be read as a standalone story it would be good to have some of the crossover from the first two books as back story but is not necessary. As always, the story is well written and with the twists and turns in the story will keep you turning the pages to the end.

I loved the character of Krystina in the other stories, and I think Loukas is the right character to compliment Krystina although at first, she does not think so. The emotion and the turmoil in the story follow brilliantly and you feel the journey as if you are there with the character along the way. It is lovely how the relationship is a slow burn and that the reaction of finally realising that they are destined for each other is lovely to read.

I can’t wait to read the next book.

I swear this book truly scored a touch down with my heart! There was so much to this book, it was absolutely amazing from start to finish!

I loved watching things progress and what they were between Tia and Bridger. I loved how it was not smooth sailing at first glance There were things between them, that went well, quite deep actually. I really felt for them at different times. I felt emotions, happiness, anger, all at the same time on various occasions. I loved the sports aspect to this book as well. I love when romance mixes with sports, it brings to realism out and helps the story play out! I loved the writing, and the descriptive use on the words the author had used! This book was impossible not to love. I am so glad I got to enjoy it! Loved it!

Amazing book that everyone should experience in my humble opinion! I could not get enough of this book. I seriously am squealing with delight as I type this! A must read book! Highly recommend!
