Tripp is a fireman who needs a nanny. Brylee is a daycare teacher whose school burned down in a fire so she needs a job. But what happens when it turns into more?

This was such a sweet story. I love a fireman romance, and a nanny romance, lol. Tripp was written really well--he was a man with a lot on his plate and he balanced well. He was dependable and giving, even when it could cost him. He dealt with a lot but he handled it like an adult and took responsibility for his choices. I love when he stopped holding back with Brylee and reached for his own happiness. His relationship with his daughter was super cute and gave all the feels, and I loved his funny and supportive family. Brylee was made for mothering and I love how that showed. She was soft and sweet, but still willing to stand up for herself and her feelings. I like how she lived her life on her terms. Her past with her parents was a tough once, but she was able to wade through and I loved how she never apologized for feeling her feelings.

Brylee and Tripp together were great and the chemistry was there. I love the way they connected and the passion was written fully and well. 

I did have some issues with the way addiction was spoken of and treated in the book--some of the language made me a tad uncomfortable. Addiction is so much more complex than what we can write sometimes. I would have loved to see more nuance in those conversations. And I really would have loved to see Tripp get some help or support for his codependency; it's not just addicts who need to quit. Overall, a good read.
