Publisher Description
Arden Lennox’s charmed life may be in pieces, but she’d sooner get her hoohaw bleached than move back in with her parents. She’s no longer the prom-queen princess married to the football star. She’s a broke, penniless widow, and it’s time she stood on her own two feet.
An under-construction unit in a quaint Chicago brownstone is cheap (free), but it comes with an unexpected surprise. Tyler Ramirez, her brother’s gawky high school best friend, is now a smoking hot firefighter who spends most of his spare time in her unit hammering, drilling, and screwing. Usually with his shirt off—a temptation she has no intention of indulging.
Tyler can’t believe his high school crush is living right across the hall, or how fast his fierce lust for her comes blazing back. She’s still gorgeous—a little sadder, a little quieter, but still with the amazing smile and sweet body that fueled his awkward teenage fantasies.
Despite her best intentions, Arden can’t resist grown up Tyler but the sparks between them send her into full retreat. And by the time she realizes the heat between them could last a lifetime, it could be too late to tell him…
Customer Reviews
A 'cracker' of a story.
Firecracker by Kelly Jamieson is a sweet and warm-hearted romance, a ‘my brother’s best friend’ and ‘bro-code’ mixed into one.
Arden is on the edge when she meets up with Tyler again. He’s her younger brother’s best friend and not the guy she’d ever have looked at twice. Not while she was married anyway, but she’s a lonely and devastated widow now and things have changed. The truth behind her husband’s death had me wanting to wrap her up in my arms. She’s harboring some deep-seated pain and feelings of guilt over what happened. She has a tendency to push those closest to her away in an effort to not feel.
Tyler was soo sweet. He’s been crushing on Arden since they were both teenagers and now that she’s on her own, and he is too, he’s going to go for it. He’s a firefighter and lives next door to Arden. He’s always willing to help those in need, but knows when to step back too.
The chemistry and attraction between them was well developed but the group as a whole had a greater dynamic. I’m looking forward to more stories from the other tenants in this building.
