Publisher Description
We have to burn to rise from the ashes.
Nearly two years after her divorce, Felicity Hawthorne is ready to date again. At least, she thinks she would be, if the idea of dating wasn't so freaking terrifying. But then she wins a date with sexy, swoony firefighter Noah Prescott at a charity bachelor auction, and everything changes.
FDNY captain Noah isn't looking for a relationship. Since losing his father as a teenager, he's spent the past twenty years shouldering heavy responsibilities, and he knows he doesn't have the time or energy to be anyone's boyfriend. But one date with sweet, charming Felicity has him wanting things he shouldn't want.
Which is why Noah suggests Felicity practice her budding dating skills with him. He wants more of her, and practice dates are as close as he can come to having her in his life without hurting her. But then dating practice turns into practice of another kind—the kind that involves moans and sighs and orgasms—and Noah knows he's going to fall. Hard.
Customer Reviews
Learning To Love Together
Noah had given up on relationships, as he was dealing with a serious case of unwarranted guilt and felt he had to only concentrate on his job and his family. Felicity swore of men after her divorce, as she didn’t want to go through pain she suffered in her past. However, things changed for both of them after the bachelor auction date. Unfortunately, just as they acknowledge their feelings for each other, Noah’s unresolved issues return and nearly cost them their happily ever after.
The author’s use of a true life incident as the backstory to Noah’s unwarranted guilt issue, made the story much more realistic and interesting. The emotional roller-coaster these two go through will have you rooting for them to get their forever happiness. I have no doubts that you will love reading this as much as I did. This is a book worth recommending.
I received an advanced copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
Phoenix from the ashes
I was jealously of Felicity, not because of Noah (well, this may not true), but her friendship with the girls. I have never had this kind of friendship in my life. I meant, like her friend would contribute a fortune in order to help her get the man of her dream.
As a person who used to put all others burdens on my own shoulders, I completely understood the responsibilities that Noah felt, and the wish to pleased and helped others, put others needs before himself, also the guilty you would fell if you failed them. However, like Noah, I was glad that finally I broke free from the prison I had built for myself, and learnt that I was not supposed to responsible for others burdens and lives. Everybody should look after and take care of their own lives and decisions.
Phoenix from the ashes, the tattoo Noah asked his brother to design for him, was the symbol of the transformation in both Noah and Felicity that connected with the life changing incident that changed Noah, which led him to admit and accept his true feeling and needs, and recognised that he had the right to live a happy life.
A good read. I like this book.
