Audrey

And so scorching hot.
But there’s something in my past I haven’t told Kane about.

Dear Reader,
Fire alert! This little hot instalove novella is about an alpha firefighter claiming his curvy woman. It can be read as a standalone, but is best enjoyed with the rest of the Lighting The Alpha’s Fire series. Get ready for a smokin’ hot hero, a sassy heroine, and a lovey-dovey happy ending!
xo,
Kate

Kane and his dog Atlas meet Audrey outside the pet store. She is a young woman who is attacked to him right away and Kane is smitten too. As their relationship progresses, there is some drama and lots of great heat with these two characters leading to their HEA.
Kate made me swoon over this extremely sweet (and steamy) romance. I love Kane, he has to be one of the kindest male characters ever. The way he treats Audrey is just drool worthy. Audrey is just as kind and feisty. Now there is a 20+ year difference between these two, so if you think that may bother you please tread lightly. Otherwise, get ready to have your heart swell and your body to melt with this book. I loved every minute and look forward to reading about the other firemen!

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this quick story about Kane and Audrey. He’s 55 and had retired from the fire station as chief, now he volunteers. Audrey is a cashier at the local grocery store. She meets Jane and Atlas, his dog, when she’s on break from work one day. It’s an instant connection. But due to their age gap, they are both worried. Great HEA in the end.

This was a short, sweet read about a curvy young woman, Audrey, and a hot older man, Kane who meet and are immediately drawn to one another. Their instant, over the top attraction leads them on a few dates. I think one of the things I liked most about this book was that Ms. Hunt chose not to dwell on our heroines size.

4.5 stars. This is an older man, younger woman book. Audrey is walking past a pet store while on her break. She meets Atlas and then his owner, Kane. They are both instantly smitten with each other. The book is short and to the point with just enough intrigue to keep your attention.

The Chief and the Checker Extraordinaire
Kane Adams is fifty-five years old and retired last year as the Fire Chief, letting his now son-in-law be promoted to the position. He has been widowed for a long time and devoted himself to his only daughter Brooke and his work. Since retirement he has settled into a routine with his dog Atlas, being a volunteer fire fighter (where he gets to see more hands-on action now) and doing things around the house. But when he meets Audrey, curvy gorgeous Audrey, his heart stops and a needs was reawakened in him that had been dormant for a long time.
Audrey is twenty-seven years old and works at the neighborhood grocery store as a cashier. She is happy with her life for the most part. But there is one thing that is a pain – her manager Paul, who has a thing for her and hovers to no end around her at work. When Audrey lays eyes on Atlas she almost clutches her heart because he is so pretty. But then Kane walks out of the store and she really feels like clutching her heart. From her POV he is a “total beefcake” even if he is older.
After Audrey pets Atlas and she and Kane have a quick chat, as her break is ending, Kane decides to go pick up a few groceries and makes sure to go through Audrey’s checkout lane. Kane is back at the grocery store the next day going through Audrey’s checkout lane again. Only this time he asks her out for the date for the next day and she accepts. For their date Kane takes Audrey to dinner and then a play. They discover they do not have a lot of things in common but their conversation is still easy and they are more than comfortable with each other. The second date is even more fun as they go to the batting cages and then dinner at the taco truck. But the evening ends with them going back to Audrey’s for popcorn and watching My Girl Friday as Kane had never seen the movie before. They do sleep together but just cuddle sleep. The fun stuff happens soon after and their chemistry is explosive. But Paul is not to be deterred which is when Atlas comes to her rescue with Kane not far behind. Let’s just say that that German Shepherd is territorial and as far as he is concerned Audrey belongs to him, which Kane backing up that sentiment entirely.
This story is fast-paced, romantic, fun, a little drama, sweet, and very hot with a wonderful story-line and fantastic characters. Both Kane and Audrey are two people who do not see age when they look at each other……………they just see each other and know that they were made for each other. But let’s not forget Atlas also as he definitely knew Audrey was good people.
Kane is the father of the girl in the first book but you can read this book as a stand-alone. Kane meets Audrey outside the grocery store she works at. Audrey has a creepy boss, he gets handled. I loved this book. I loved the addition of Atlas his dog too. Kate is definitely one of my favorite authors. I highly recommend her books. I can’t wait for more.

Kane
This is the second book in this series. While it isn’t necessary to have read book one “Blaze”, why wouldn’t you?!? Come on- these stories are about Hot Firefighters!! I finished this one on my lunch break….definitely made the rest of the day easier to take. Kane may be an older man but he can still start fires with one smoldering look. What I really liked about this story was the reaction by Brooke about the relationship between Kane and Audrey. She didn’t rant or rave but stated she needed time.

When you love someone, whether family, friend or paramour, you love them for who they are – age has no relevance. My parents were 25 years apart, and I’ve lived that particular scenario firsthand. Audrey and Kane are pleasantly surprised to find themselves in love again despite the years between them. It matters not to them so they pursue their lives at their own pace. Sweet, short, but no less than a wonderfully romantic and satisfying read!

I really liked everything about this book but I was a little uncomfortable about the big age disparity. I felt that an age difference of almost 30 years was too much. I can see an age gap of say, 15 years, but anything more than that gets into the ick range for me. Other than that, I had no problem with the book at all. The chemistry was good and the story flowed well with no awkward or lagging sections.

Cute novella of older man falling for a younger woman. A very sweet read, with just a touch of drama to keep the plot moving along. I enjoyed the outcome of both the drama aspect and Kane getting a second chance of love with Audrey.

I enjoyed this so much! It’s an older man, younger woman romance but age is just a number. If you read the previous book in this series, this is Chief’s story after he retires and it so sweet and also about having second chances. I devoured it in one sitting.

Second start for the Chief! This is about Audrey and Kane. Kane has just retired from being the Fire Chief when his daughter’s boyfriend and now husband was going to accept another position elsewhere. He is now working as a volunteer and his dog Atlas is something else always by his side. He is also a widower. Audrey is a cashier at the local supermarket and she was walking outside during her break when she noticed Atlas and his owner the Chief. She was mesmerized by them both. Note that the Chief is much older than her, but they were attracted to each other immediately. As we all know age is just a number that counts for experience. There are some funny scenes in the book, but more than anything it is all about love at first sight. The way they feel for each other is something neither of them take for granted. This becomes the first for Audrey in love in family but a second chance/start for the Chief.

Instant attraction. Instant heat. Instant sizzle. In this Kate Hunt novel, we join Kane and Audrey as they find love. An older man, younger lady romance that is hot and does not leave you wanting at all…and of course, true Kate style, it also involves the perfect HEA.
Highly recommended quick read.
