Great story, too much descriptive sex for my tastes.
Good reading!
Excellent
loved the series
I liked the story line. 3 siblings, 3 different outlooks. 3 different stories and outcomes. Life changing experience did just that changed 3 lives and the relationship with 2 other siblings. Thumbs up !!
This is a real insight into the lives of firemen and the people that love them..
Enjoy the inspirational fire fighter dramas and heartaches.
Captivating story with great characters. Great job of handling tough subject matter.
I liked this book. The characters went through the usual struggles as they do in any romance story, but they finally got together. I am always up for a good romantic story with a happy ending.
Very angsty complicated relationships but they all get resolved in the end. 3.5 Stars
I always love to read about firefighters because I have the utmost respect for them, who else will run into a burning building to save complete jerks, so I loved this book. The trauma that they must experience I can only imagine. I’ve worked in EDs and ICUs and they are pretty challenging but pale in comparison to the valiant work and tremendous …
Predictable – boring – no real plot.
OMG! What a book!
Loved the characters and their stories. Very enjoyable read!
Such a well written and moving story! I enjoyed the intertwining threads from the three siblings lives and the outcome for their futures.
Big brother Mitch has been trying to keep his marriage together for his kids, crazy things unfold before he realises that being together with his wife isn’t best for his kids.
Jenn and Grady are best friends …
This is a wonderful read, loved the characters! I want to read more by this author.
Realistic, flawed people who overcome issues to find love.
It’s part of a series of people involved in the fire and police departments in Hidden Cove. It’s current versus a romance set in Victorian era, it’s believable, and if you read more than one you feel like you know the characters.
At times, I couldn’t put it down. Great read.
Unfortunately I cannot recommend this book. It did not finish reading it, because it is filled with blasphemy of the God Almighty. It is a great pity as the story appears to be full of drama good and bad.
