Oh my firefighter loving heart is so happy!!!! Y'all. 𝙲𝚘𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚗𝚎 𝙼𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚎𝚕𝚜 has done it, 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣! 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝑻𝒐𝒐 𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍 checked all my favorite boxes and then some. When I am telling that 𝙲𝙼 will bring 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 no matter what she rights, please believe me. Her writing style is epic and never fails! 

Lachlan's character was my soulmate. Having experienced many stages of the grief that he felt, after losing my own mother, my heart was his for the duration of this story! It also doesn't hurt that he was a firefighter 😉. I mean, my own husband and son are firefighters so they are special to me! And, the way he was with his daughter, Rose, and Ainsley when she returned? Absolute SWOON! 

Ainsley. Let's talk about her a second. She has been in love with Lachlan, her brother's best friend, all her life. After a failed kiss between them, she retreats to her journalist job. Four years later, she's back for a story on him and the chemistry, banter and fun are on! 

The narrator casting for this audiobook was perfection. 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑜𝑟 𝐶𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑠 brought the grumpiness to Lachlan masterfully, but also nailed all the emotional struggles that comes with being a single dad who is also grieving. 𝑉𝑎𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑎 𝐸𝑑𝑤𝑖𝑛 brought the perfect sassiness to Ainsley's character. I absolutely loved her voice and it flowed beautifully! Together these two brought Lachlan, Ainsley, Rose and all the characters to life in the best way! 

If you love emotionally gripping stories, small towns, second chances, hot single dads, and the perfect amount of spice, don't miss this one. It's the start of a new series that will captivate you emotional and physically, and keep you wanting more. I can't wait for the next book!
