A great story with great characters. Some laughter some tears some heart pounding danger. Great read
a good book with soul and passion.
Love all of her books
Very well written. The writer makes it feel as if you can connect with each and every character. I didn’t want to stop reading once I got started.
She is an amazing author, it’s like watching a movie,have read all her books.
This was a great book from beginning to end.
Very good book
Good read for light entertainment.
Action packed. Several stories blended into one book. Great look at firefighters, family dynamics and of course love.
Very entertaining book with believable flawed characters!!!
It is an easy read and does just what I wanted it to do- entertain me and pass the time.
There are times when you just want something that ends happily and leaves you feeling good.
Did not appreciate the bad langue. Stopped as soon as it started.
Ms. Shay writes books with warm, believeable characters. The storyline is this one was charming with just enough grit to make the story realistic.
This part of series, but you can read them individually
This book is over 400 pages so you really get to know the characters. Of course they each have a dilemma which needs attention. You learn the drama and trauma of being a firefighter which gives the story added dimension. It’s a great story which kept me reading and I was sad to see it end. However there are follow up books.
Good character development and the three branches of the story was graceful. Totally sympathetic main characters and complementary minor characters.
Shay never disappoints
Really looked like it would be a great story but unfortunately mostly porn. Couldn’t even read it
I’ve read this book several times and will read even more. I always enjoy her books.
This book was a little different from most of the romances out there. Above and beyond the romance was a well researched story that kept the reader involved, awaiting the conclusion. The follow up in the series was even more involved and instructive.
