This was a great 5 star read. I really enjoy the enemies to lover reads. I always enjoy reading this authors stories, she pulls you right in with her writing. This is Cody and Cat’s story. These two have a connection that you can feel coming off of the pages. These two had me LOL at times with their bantering. Their story was so well written and I wanted to see them get a HEA. THe pace was great and I didn’t want it to end. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

I have enjoyed reading this author’s books from the first one I picked up. This is one of my favorites yet. I enjoy this author’s creative writing style that makes the characters come to life. They are written with a lot of heart and are steamy as well. This is a well written story about Cody and Cat. He is a cop that has signed himself off of love and she is looking to find herself a cowboy. What she didn’t expect was to find Cody. I enjoyed them and what they brought to the story. Their journey and growth throughout the story made it easy and entertaining to read. I enjoyed their connection and hoped they found their HEA at the end. Their story is a fast paced, hard to put down story. An engaging story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and I look forward to seeing what is next for this author.

There is nothing better than a great ongoing snarky romance. But Cat and Cody are out to get on each other’s nerves. They are both the devil in disguise, just ask them. Cody is a single dad and a cop. Cat on the other hand has had a crappy year, living in the small town of Woodvalley Pines, she is determined to find her happiness. This story is fast paced and the main characters are snarky to each other. Which makes for a great read. This is a romance to remember, so fun to read and watch Cat and Cody work through their differences. I really enjoyed this story, and know you will too. I have read other stories from this author and she never disappoints. Get ready for another must have series. Review@cinful

What a great first in the series! This is my first book by this author, and I am really impressed. I love how the author came up with the name of this book. Libby almost burned her house down the first day of being there by her toaster. The fire department shows up, and Zach, a fireman, gets her out of the house, and this is when it starts. The chemistry is definitely there, and Zach is in love from the beginning, but Libby has a lot of emotional baggage from her life with her mother and her many men. Libby doesn’t trust love and is totally scared of it. This book has just enough spice, but boy, could the author really spice this one up if she wanted to. I rate this book as a 4.7, but that’s not an option on this platform. Can’t wait for the next book in this series!

Libby has barely settled in Woodvalley Pines when her toaster spontaneously catches fire. This summons a flock of hot firemen who unfortunately catch her in pink Disney pajamas. She may look like a crazy lady accusing them of keeping toaster safety a secret but firefighter Zach finds her adorable. Seeing as how he has seen her in an embarrassing scene, would she be willing to let him get to know her on a more personal level? This was a feel good, small town romance with great humor. I enjoy romcoms and the laughter they bring. If you need a good laugh I definitely recommend this book. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

This is the start of the series and it starts with a bang. I couldn’t put it down. I read this book in a day. It was a quick read for me because it flowed really smoothly all throughout the book. The meet cute in this book is so worth it. It brings a whole new meaning to the title. lol. This boo had me giggling and on the verge of tears at one point. I feel that it was really well written in order to pull all of those emotions out of me. The characters are well rounded and have development throughout the story. I feel that the following books in the series will be about the supporting characters in this book, so it is laying a great foundation for the rest of the series. There is steam in this book, which I love to read. Hands down this book did not disappoint on any level and I am excited to read the next one in the series. Reviewed by: @bbohls

Toasted is a fast-paced, small-town romance. When Libby finds herself needing the fire department so soon after moving to a new town, she has no idea what she’s in for when Zach is one of the firefighters who show up to help her. What quickly ensues is a romance she never knew she could want or have. Their banter was fun to read, and the supporting characters were all excellent additions that hopefully get their own stories soon!

To be honest, this really wasn’t the book for me. However, the premise of the story was good, and it is well-written, thus the four stars. The characters have good chemistry, and there is some witty banter. It would be a great read for people who like sweeter romances and romcoms.

What a fun romance book this was, I like that the action starts right off. The humor in the story is so fun, and the characters are just awesome. I love that it’s a typical role reversal where the male is more confident in knowing he wants a relationship, and it is the female character who is very back and forth on what she wants. The character development was extremely well written, you get a feel for who your characters are right away, but there is still this deep mystery about our main female, Libby, that makes you wonder why she is so anti-relationships, especially with a cute firefighter that she is obviously attracted too! Zach is such a sweet guy, and his friends are just great to watch as they interact with one another. This is a great first book in a new series that will have you wanting to read more about the other characters and their lack of relationships. I’m looking forward to seeing what the author has next in store for this great group of firefighters. @Brandy Rymer 06/2024

I swear Isobel’s books just keep getting better and better. I literally read this book in a day and a half. Libby, a new resident of Woodvalley Pines meets Zach (a hunky firefighter) because her toaster caught fire and he of course had to be the one that came and rescued her. There are a few sad moments as well as some funny moments and lets not forget the steamy moments either. I promise that you will love this book and want to know what happens next. I for one can’t wait to read the next book, I hope that it comes out soon.

This is the first book in the Love Burns series. This is a great rom com with characters I couldn’t help but fall in love with. The chemistry between Zach and Libby is instant and the fact that Zach is a hot fireman is definitely extra points for me. This story is full of sizzling chemistry, emotions, and tension as you are left throughout the story wondering if they will or won’t get together. Libby has just moved to the small town. She hasn’t met anyone but this definately wasn’t how she wanted to introduce herself with a fire started by her toaster. When Zach arrives he expects this to just be another call out. He doesn’t expect to meet a woman who does things to him that he can’t even explain. He doesn’t know what it is that he’s feeling but he knows he can’t let her go. But things won’t be easy as Libby tells Zach she doesn’t date. Can Zach get Libby to take a chance on a relationship with him? What does he need to do for her to take that chance? And with so much chemistry between them how long is just being friends going to last? I really enjoyed this story and I can’t wait to read more in this series.

Toasted is the first book I’ve read by Isobel Reed, and I definitely see myself reading the rest of the Love Burns series! I absolutely loved how the book started off with Libby’s unfortunate fire incident and I enjoyed the character development of both main characters. The supporting characters had fun traits and backstories that make it easy to see how “spin off” books will continue on, and I hope we get to see more of Libby and Zach’s story too!

Libby has been in the town no more than minutes it seems like but who would know that her toaster would catch on fire and cause a storm. Who knew that this is a thing, not her. When the fire brigade comes to the rescue all she can do is feel embarrassed and angry.
Zach turns up to a woman in Disney Pj’s shouting about no-one told her about the secret of toaster fires and how dangerous they can be but all Zach thinks is she is adorable and really wants to get to know this woman. But can he charm her to go out with him or have to jump through hoops?
This is a quick lunchtime read that was light and just a lovely story. The chemistry with these two characters jumped off the page and was just wonderful to read. I have read a few books by Isobel and this one does not disappoint, can’t wait to read more.

This book had me at the dedication- For all the princesses, especially the ones battling frog infestations.
Have you ever watched those Tiktok videos where the guy turns into a sexy firefighter and you instantly imagine an interaction? Well, this isn’t it! This was more realistic, and amusing AF when they first met.
Libby- Just moved in, new house/state… everything, and on the very next morning her toaster sets on fire (Which is how she met her firefighter hunk!) She is a curvy girl so if you are looking for a book where the mfc isn’t a twig this is for you!
Zach- hotty firefighter. Very protective of Libby.
This is fast-paced and he falls first. By chapter 2 after inviting himself over for dinner he was thinking how much he liked her and wanted her to be his girl.
Honestly, when I first started reading this book I thought Zach was a little cutie. I thought their banter was hilarious and that they had great chemistry, but then he started giving me bad vibes. While I love red flags in my dark romances I don’t in my rom-coms and it turned me off from this book. Even though Libby was giving off fuck me vibes, she made it very clear she didn’t want a relationship with him, but no matter how many times she said no he refused to accept that answer and thought he could change her mind, even after she told him her reasoning. Not only that but some of the things came off a bit manipulative as well. Obvi she ignores all the warning bells in her head and does fall for him after being FWB for a while. Has a HEA ending.

Hello ? Someone give me a match ! I need to make a fire ‘! I need a fireman 👨🚒🤣🥰🔥especially if he looks like the one on the cover and even more so if he’s anything like Zach , man he’s a sweetheart 😉
So Libby inherits a house from her aunt and on her first day in her “ new home “ in her new town she manages to start a fire by simply making toast ! 🤣 I must say I was in hysterics because it sound like something that would happen to me 😉
Anyhoo the fire brigade are on their way and the delectable man to save her in her Disney princess jammies has eyes anyone could drown in and I’d say there’s more that just the toaster smoking 🔥😜 Zach had me swooning from the get go 🥰and he’s got confidence but not arrogance and those dimples … I know I’m weak but what can I say 🙈🤣😜
There was just something about Libby that got Zach and it went both ways and I loved watching Zach and his brothers tease , laugh and have serious moments especially when it came to the ranch and it’s future this is one of those families you just feel part of and most of all I loved how he “pushed” Libby into a relationship and not just something casual , they had me on my toes that’s for sure
I laughed , I loved and yes I shed a tear or 2 these people will climb into your heart and stay there for long after the last page ❣️📚this is one of those reads I just want everyone to read !

I want to start by saying I love the author’s creativity for the book title. Toasted legit starts when a girl’s toaster burst into flames while making her morning toast. It actually makes me kind of laugh out loud. I didn’t pick it up at first but once I did I laughed. So anyway this is a sweet romance novel. But as we know, the story never just has an easy meet, fall in love, finally happily ever after. But I digress. The author wrote two brilliantly stubborn characters that I relate too. Each having their own personal issues but are drawn to one another. Yet as much as the chemistry tells them to be together they are apart. This story is about the growth between them. Learning there’s positives in taking risks vs playing it safe. But does it all work out in the end? Meeting over a toaster fire in her kitchen, Libby instantly clicks with Zach. Which worries her. So she grasps onto him laughing at her reaction to the appliance catching fire and the ways it could happen to anyone. By doing so she’s hoping this pull she feels will diminish because this is negative behavior to her. She swore off relationships, and doesn’t have them. There’s no way this gorgeous firefighter will change that for her now. Or will he? Zach is determined. Libby is beautiful with a wonderful personality. He wants her to be his, but doesn’t realize that will be no easy task. When he takes intimacy off the table unless she’s willing to try a relationship, they both are in for an extreme test of their restraint. A test of wits to make the other break is now the challenge between them. They are both so stubborn that they don’t want to let go of the paths they laid. Unfortunately Zach is faced with a difficult decision and having Libby in his corner may be just what he needs to get through it. Only one problem, is she willing? I love this book and it’s the beginning of a new series I’m looking forward to reading more of!

I’ve read a couple of books by this author before, so I knew I was in for a good read when I picked this one up. This is the first book in the Love Burns series, and it is amazing! The cover obviously grabbed me, but that was far from the best part. The very first page had me incredibly intrigued, but the pages following hooked me for good. I couldn’t even tell you the other things I did the day I read this because it took over and left me with a serious book hangover. The way that Libby speaks and thinks is way too relatable and had me busting out laughing several times. The chemistry between her and Zach was extremely strong which was wonderful.

Cute characters, excellent banter, decent emotional swing. Wasn’t expecting all the good parts to be in the FTB, but overall a good read.
Libby has a jaded outlook on love and relationships. It is easy to see where she got it when you hear her story. After she moves into her recently deceased aunt’s home, either her luck changes or the universe is playing a joke on her. Libby attempts to make toast but the toaster bursts into flames and the fire department rushes in!
Zach never expected to meet the most amazing woman putting out a toaster fire. The woman standing in front of him in pajamas covered in Disney princesses is more than he bargained for. They each feel the immediate and intense chemistry between them. But Libby wants to keep Zach at arm’s length or as simply the best in her memories.
Zach isn’t having it. Zach consistently pushes Libby’s boundaries to get her to accept more and more of him. Until Zach wants labels and Libby won’t concede.
The heat between Zach and Libby is scorching. Wishing there was more of it on the page. Excellent way to start the series. Can’t wait to see if Cody can tame Cat!!

I really loved this book! The instant connection between the two lead characters was on point immediately and I loved the humor, the romance, the character baggage…so much to love! Zach and Libby were such lovable and relatable characters and I was rooting for them from the beginning. It was a great romance story, but without the super spicy element that could’ve been there, but didn’t need to be. I thought it was a great romantic story and can’t wait to read the rest of the series. This is book 1, and it got me excited for more!

This is a very fun read when you need a break from reality. What I love most about this book is that what Zach and Libby are going through is very relatable. I do like how Libby and Zach develop themselves emotionally throughout the story. The minor characters complement the main characters very well and provide other perspectives of what’s going on especially with Libby and Zach.

This story had me cracking up from the very first page. Libby is so relatable. She’s curvy and she talks a lot when she gets flustered and it’s hilarious seeing how Zach reacts to it all. Their chemistry is immediate and something Zach learns quickly that he can not walk away from. But will Libby stick around in this small town long enough to realize it as well? Was a quick and entertaining read. I cant wait to read more from this series.

This is the first book I have read by this author and so glad I took a chance, such a cute story. The writing style makes this story easy to read as well as fun to read. Looking forward to the next story in this Love Burns series.
I could feel Libby’s pain and confusion and even her frustration! Thankfully the “elusive toaster fire” brought the town fire department to her rescue. Zach being the main hero of the day and the story! These characters are real, down to earth and so sweet. The story is totally believable right down to that darn toaster! Glad there will be more for Libby and Zach and their friends!

Zach, a local firefighter, and Libby meet after her toaster catches fire and Zach is one of the responders. He is immediately attracted to Libby, but she resists all his charms. In fact, she has never even been in a relationship. Zach sees this as a challenge to win her heart, but eventually begins to doubt himself. This was a very quick and entertaining read with great characters and storyline.

If you aren’t hooked within the first few pages there is no hope for you. A woman with a burning toaster and a call to the fire department is how it all started and the entertainment doesn’t let up.
Zach a firefighter/medic is the first on the scene to make contact with Libby who has been in town an entire day before this craziness happens.
I loved the boys, they give each other a hard time no matter the reason. But when a girl is involved they all seemed to regress back to being school age boys.
This book was not too long but throughly enjoyable, and how can you go wrong with firefighters?
This is not my first book by Ms. Reed and I can promise I will be reading the rest of this series.

Toasted was a very good read. I like my books with more steam in them but this was a good book. I loved the characters. Libby had just moved into a new place she isn’t familiar with. It’s a small town where everyone knows eachother and gossip is at an all time high. Libby’s toaster decided it was going to malfunction while she’s in her tiny Disney pjs. The fire department came and right away Zach checked Libby out to Make sure she wasn’t injured. They were talking and the chemistry was immediate. Libby wasn’t looking for a relationship but Zach wasn’t looking for a one night stand. Zach kept fighting for Libby but she kept pushing him away. This was a sweet wholesome read with lots of banter and cute moments. Will Libby ever give in to her feelings and give a relationship a shot with Zach or will she lose him for good. She wants friends with benefits but he wants a full blown relationship. Good read. Looking forward to more in this series but hope there’s a bit more heat in the other books.
