Falling for the Firefighter

This story makes me feel all wishy-washy. I mean, I started out loving Simone in all of the books that have come before this, and even for the first little bit of this book I still loved her. Then when she and Josh were both on Nymph Island, she became someone I wanted nothing to do with. I thought she was mean, and bitter, and vindictive, and judgemental, and just plain horrible. I’m so glad she has such a powerful “a-hah!” moment in the end, because I was prepared to continue hating her beyond the story’s close. Josh, on the other hand, I loved from the word go. Here’s this strong, sexy, alpha man with a super sweet vulnerable side that’s he’s been protecting since his childhood. That first-responder nature combined with his ability to create beauty just might make Josh my new favorite book boyfriend. And Tigger’s letter to Santa is beyond perfect. What I love best about the narrator is her ability to capture Tigger.
I received a complimentary copy of the audio from the author.

There was very little to like about this book. Sorry. The story line itself could have been great but the female lead was...I don’t even know what to call her. I’ve never read a character I disliked more. She was a shrew, closed-minded, insulting and completely self-centered and inconsiderate of others. No problems making a scene, insulting people she calls friends, etc. I see where the author tried to redeem her at the end but that fell way short. For the last few pages it was like we were reading a totally different character but still didn’t make me like her at all. The biggest shame though is that she’s such a horrible person that I didn’t enjoy the male lead either because any guy who lets someone treat him the way this b*tch did is a pretty sad excuse for a person. Truly a shame because I think I would have liked him if he had a better love interest to play off of. So sorry, but I can’t recommend this book at all.
