Publisher Description
Small town second chance romance where she's the boss.
Callie Bartholomew is the new fire chief in the small town of Rivers Crossing. She thought being the first female fire chief was going to be her greatest challenge, but when she sees her former fling is on her crew, it becomes clear that working side-by-side with him might be the hardest part of this job.
Tyler Holmes never thought about a second chance with the one woman from his past that he measures all other women against. Yet, there she is…Callie. When he heard there was a new fire chief, he never imagined it was her.
How is he supposed to concentrate with Callie near him all day? How is he supposed to stay away from her? Will Tyler be able to ignore his attraction or will he let it burn his career down to ash?
Customer Reviews
“The stars have aligned to give both of us a second chance.”
Callie worked hard to get her promotion to Fire Chief and she would never have been hired if she wasn’t the most qualified candidate. She was there to do her job and would not tolerate gossip or insubordination. Callie knew she would have to work hard to earn the respect of her team but she was confident they could work together to keep the community safe. A sexy night ten years ago with Tyler should have no bearing on her experience as a firefighter.
Callie remembers her night with Tyler very well but she only wants a professional relationship with him regardless of all the sexy glances he sends her way. I admire Callie’s professionalism and enthusiasm for her new position and she has a positive attitude about being able to delegate among her team. Unfortunately, she would be working very closely with Tyler on various Firehouse fundraising matters. Her job was the most important part of her life and she refused to be distracted by romance.
Tyler has other ideas when it comes to Callie. He never forgot their special night and seeing Callie again was like a dream come true. If only he could figure out how they could be together while keeping their jobs? He wouldn’t let Callie get away again because now that she was here with him, his life finally felt complete.
Great Chemistry, Strong Characters
Work place romance meets second chance romance with a touch of forbidden romance, and it is a smoking combination. I was already familiar with S.E. Rose's work, but hadn't read anything by Sierra Hill. Co-authored books can sometimes be a little tricky when it comes making everything flow seamlessly as if one author, not two, wrote a book, and these two fabulous ladies hit it out of the park.
Callie, is the total package in what I want in a strong female protagonist. She is smart, doesn't take any crap, and isn't afraid of a challenge. The chemistry between Callie and Tyler is positively reactive and the steamy times are hot. This story deals with real life scenarios such as female bosses in male dominated fields and all the non-glamorous duties that go with being that person. There are so many ways these characters could have been written, but instead of making the main characters overly stubborn with thoughts and attitudes at different ends of the spectrum, there was a balance which paved the way for a natural flow as the storyline progressed. This story has it all; heart, steam, chemistry, feels, and realism, it's the total package.
Smoking hot!
Super fun and smoking hot read!
Callie… firefighter. A woman in a male dominated field. Strives to make her dad proud. 10 years ago she had an unforgettable one night stand.
Tyler. Firefighter! He loves his small town and never forgot the hot one night stand when he was in the academy.
Hmmm….
She finally gets the job of her dreams. In a small town where she can make an impact. Hmmmm. Wonder if she’ll know any of her firefighters….
Read it and find out! Loved this!
