Four-alarm fires have nothing on him…
Howard may love being a firefighter and riding his Harley, but there’s nothing he values more than his bachelorhood. That is, until a feisty, curvaceous teacher named Kat McKenna falls into his arms at the scene of a fire—and melts the six-foot-six tower of bronze muscle…
But just as passion ignites between them—and they explore new heights of sexual ecstasy—a ruthless arsonist with a deadly secret and a thirst for vengeance becomes their worst nightmare…
Sometimes when I wait to review a book, I don’t give it as good of a review. I end up thinking about things that maybe annoyed me a little at the time I was reading it, but after I was done and thought more about it, really annoyed me a lot.
My biggest annoyance with the book is the heroine. I didn’t like her. But hell if I can remember why.
I’ve read some really great reviews about this book, which is what prompted me to pick it up. I love Firefighter stories. I just have this thing for Firefighters. Then again, who doesn’t? I remember some of the reviewers commenting on the name of the hero. While Howard does seem like an unlikely name for this particular character, it wasn’t that name that got me. It was his nickname, Six-pack. This name was thrown around waaaay too often for my taste. I get it, he may as well have had paint rollers under his shirt.
Aside from that, I remember the suspense element being good, the sex being off-the-charts hot and the secondary characters being very good. That’s about it.

This book is available from Signet. You can buy it here or here in e-format.
I didn’t like this one and gave it to Ames who wanted it. I don’t know, the story really fell flat for me. It wasn’t very engaging and both the H/H were passable. Also, I really don’t like when the H/H get together too quickly.
I know others really loved this one, but it didn’t work quite as well for me either. Well enough that I will give her next book a try, but not well enough that I’m tracking when it will be released 🙂
I just started this one so can’t say yet if I like it. But what I don’t like is the name Howard and Six-pack isn’t much better. lol
Leslie: Oh how I agree!!! Both took me out every time!
OK. Well. I loved this book. Mostly because a hero who loves a gal with a little junk in the trunk does it for me every time. Plus, I appreciated that when he screwed up, he apologized, and GOT that he’d made a mistake.
But you know, if the book doesn’t make an impression on you, I think that’s as good a reason as any to grade it down. Her next one features a virgin hero. I can’t freaking wait!
