The blaze that destroyed Daniel Quidell’s firefighting career scarred more than his body. Court cases, therapy, and five pins in his bones later, he’s a divorced single father working himself ragged to provide a good life for his son. But the strain leaves him exhausted—and overwhelmed.
Until Camille Frasier walks into his life.
Beautiful and empathic, Camille soothes Dan’s mind and eases the … mind and eases the pains of his body. But she desires more than a gentle hand to help her body to find its fire. And she hopes Dan will give her what she needs.
But some wounds don’t heal correctly. And no matter how much heat Camille offers, Dan feels trapped inside the cold box of his past. Is he strong enough to find his way out?

Love the buildup of the romantic story
I enjoyed this book very much. The characters seemed real with real issues, but still worked out a happy ending.
I liked the story and most of the characters. I liked that the author didn’t resort to that old worn cliche ending of the heroine getting pregnant in the end. I would have like to book better if there had been no preschooler in it. That tends to cramp a romantic moment. I was always worried he’d burst in on them while they were in an intimate moment. Little one, while cute, are neither romantic nor sexy. But I like the way Daniel was written, thought I didn’t always understand what was going on with the heroine. Still quite an enjoyable read.
Loved it! Realistic, compelling story. Pulls at your heart strings. In depth emotions.
I love this author! I love these characters. Daniel is a single father ex firefighter injured on duty. His injuries are on the outside and inside. He also has had to care for his brothers after his mom and sister dies in an accident. His father falls into depression after that so Dan picks up the slack. Camille is one of his son’s daycare teacher. I loved the chemistry between them. It is off the charts hot.
Camille also cares for Bart. I loved Bart. He is a very energetic and so smart. I think that she her falls in love with this little boy who needs a mother. Tom lived with Dan and Bart helping to care for Bart, but has recently moved out to live with Sammie his fiancé.
Of course, Dan’s ex-wife shows up to try and ruin things for Dan once again. She has never cared for Bart, but is willing to hurt them again to make everyone miserable. Camille stands by Dan thru it trying to help him keep her away from Bart.
I loved this and while each brother is different, they stick together and help one another. I love stories that build, and books that let you get a peak at other characters to see their growth. I would highly recommend this author.
I’ve enjoyed the entire series.
series is as good as the first. The characters are just as real. The setting just as believable. Daniel’s Fire focuses on the oldest Quidell brother who took the world on his shoulders when tragedy struck the family when he was in high school. Now he’s all grown up, with a young son, an absentee ex-wife, and a lot of pain and scars resulting from an accident that cut short his fire fighting career.
Enter Camille Frasier, the new art teacher at Daniel’s son’s preschool. The two of them have an instant attraction but neither one wants to jeopardize Daniel’s son, Bart. So, they take their time getting to know one another in little snatches of conversation before and after school over a period of months. When they finally get some time together away from school, things heat up fast. Even though the scenes between Daniel and Camille get steamy, I like that they keep Bart’s well being a focus of their attention. They work at forming a family and not just becoming a couple. That’s one of the reasons that I enjoy this series so much, it doesn’t shy away from the messiness and complications that often plague real life. I’m looking forward to the next book!
I really enjoyed Daniel’s Fire. It has a great plot, well-rounded characters, and lots of action to keep it moving. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a great romance novel.
