Publisher Description
He’s a fire chief who curses out the mayor at every turn. She’s the mayor who needs him in a crisis.
He’s a line firefighter attracted to the mayor’s daughter. She’s a woman who wants nothing to do with a man like him.
Chief Chase Talbot has butted heads with Mayor Vanessa Jordan since she was elected to office two years ago. And since he’s the head of the fire department, she’s his boss. Still, he takes no grief from her. But after a fire involving her parents, Vanessa turns to Chase for help. When the situation calms down, both are unable to get their relationship back to what it was. Throw in troubled teens, estrangement from family, a possible arson and you get a complex, gripping plotline and an emotional and scintillating love story.
Interweaved with Chase and Vanessa’s lives is Joe Santori, the young, brash and immature firefighter of book one. Now Joe is a wiser, more settled lieutenant running his own crew. When Holly Michaels, a fourth grade teacher, and the mayor’s daughter, moves into the condo next to his, she intrigues him. But Holly doesn’t want to get involved: Joe is worldly, gorgeous and way out of her league. The problem is, he doesn’t think so. These young people go on a rollercoaster ride of emotional highs and lows, but even after they give into their passion, the old Joe resurfaces and Holly’s having none of it.
It comes as a shock to both couples that contrary to what each thought, they don’t have all they need!

A definite must read
I just adored this story. I didn't read the first in this series and the appearance of Joe. This book did reveal the happenings though so I wasn't confused. This book is a keeper and a book that will be re-read. (Yes, I have to go back and start at the beginning! Not that it is necessary though.) I loved the fact that you basically received two stories in this book. With POVs from all four characters, it was really like watching a movie play out. I just love all of Ms. Shay's work. She has done such in depth research for her firefighter books that it really feels like you are a part of the action. It just isn't about the romance.
It was nice to see a romance about two "older" people as well. Not too many authors have touched on this subject. Just because we are middle aged doesn't mean that we can't have romance left in our lives!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
All I Need
I really enjoyed the double romance and the intense, exciting, and unbelievable control between the characters. Great read!
ALL I NEED
ALL I NEED by Kathryn Shay. Rockford # 5
Chief Chase after another fire, tired and needed solitude, gets called from the mayor Vanessa. She’s out of town, thank goodness but why calling, they mix like oil and water. Her 10% cut affecting his department as well as others in town didn’t set well. Joe his shift has ended when a pink.damsel in distress comes worried about grandparents. Didn’t want her in an accident so he drives her to hospital, he’d get a ribbing, from crew. Her name is Holly estranged from her mother, the mayor. We have a combustible situations of people drawn together, that makes another great story. Her books and the details that go into them, is always great. You are there observing them, and sometimes having to chuckle Like the banters that go on between the Chief and Mayor. Delightful, great plot, characters, great series.
Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
