Firefighters are my weak spot, so I’m predisposed to loving any hero in that profession. Add in the fact that he’s a single dad and it’s like catnip for this reader. Callan is all that and a bag of chips! The scenes with his daughter Kaitlyn are so sweet but he shows off his dirty talking steamy side in every scene he’s in with Gemma. Gemma was a fabulous character and I really appreciate the way that Ms. Fox showed her vulnerability but never made her a timid victim. She wasn’t afraid to vocalize to Callan what she wanted...and how she wanted it. The fact that they were old friends and comfortable with each other let their playful sides shine through. While I didn’t have a problem with the speed of their relationship, I thought the book ended a bit abruptly and I was missing some closure to the story, as a reader. That’s really my only “complaint”. Otherwise, this as a couldn’t-put-it-down read for me!
