A steamy, opposites attract, second chance romance.She does NOT need a man to rescue her. He disagrees.Harper Peters wants three things. An accomplished man, funding for her treatment center, and to catch a glimpse of that hot firefighter on her morning runs. Even a doctor needs her guilty pleasures. When she falls and breaks her knee at the feet of the very fireman she’s been ogling, she has no … fireman she’s been ogling, she has no choice but to accept his help. The only problem is, she doesn’t want help. Especially from a flirty man who doesn’t fit her dating criteria.
It’s been years since Jakub Wojcik failed to save his wife’s life, but he’s still not ready for a relationship. When the pretty jogger falls at his feet, he can’t resist the urge to help her—it’s what he does. But keeping a cool distance from the feisty doctor isn’t easy. Her uptight manner radiates a need for tenderness that he—surprisingly—wants to give.
As the heat between them rages, Jakub realizes he’s risking his heart on a woman he can’t protect, and Harper is losing hers to a man who doesn’t fit her plan. But sometimes love finds us when we least expect it . . . and need it the most.
A Beautiful Fire is the 4th book in the Love at Lincolnfield series, heart-warming, hot page turners about the love lives of men and women who work at a Chicago hospital.

The book is a good romance read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry. The story is an enjoyable read.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The story was ok but I found it difficult to connect with the characters.
Harper is a doctor of looking for love. Based on her relationship with her father, she has come up with a list of desirable characteristics for her future partner. I didn’t like the fact that she shared this list with Jakob on their first date when he didn’t really fit any of those traits. Granted, he asked what her list was, but hasn’t she heard of discretion? Also, she doesn’t practice what she preaches. She had dropped a former boyfriend, who even though ticked 90% of the positive boxes, did not communicate often enough for her. Yet, she herself did not communicate with Jakob, even though they were now dating, when she decided to move to another city for a month for her job.
Jakob is a widowed firefighter. I guess I like more alpha males as I found him too uncertain. I am all for consent, but the first time they are making out, he kept asking if it was ok to kiss her, to touch her. I found it to be a mood killer.
I received a free copy from Netgalley. This is my honest review.
