He looks like he belongs on stage, stripping out of his firefighter uniform, not running into a burning building to save me. But thank God he did. When the smoke clears and my eyes focus on my savior, one look at his gorgeous face and tattoo-covered muscles, I know he’ll be too much for me to handle. It’s a good thing I never have to see him again, right? Except, losing my home to a fire means … fire means finding somewhere new to live, and guess who just happens to be my new roommate? Hayden Flynn. The filthy-talking firefighter who’s been front and center of all of my dreams lately.
Our attraction is undeniable, but it’s the adventures he takes me on that has me falling for him, each new experience chipping away at the wall I’ve been hiding behind.
He wasn’t supposed to see past my scars.
He wasn’t supposed to break me apart piece by piece, then put me back together again.
He was just supposed to be a firefighter. I didn’t expect him to end up saving my life, in more ways than one.

I really enjoy this book, it was a quick read, in insta-love but also a slow burn romance… yeah that was kind of weird. But I think it was the best way to describe! It was also a story where can teach you to give yourself a second chance, to love yourself despite your past and how to give a chance to someone to help you heal.
Adele has a tragic past and after go to rehab and start a new leaf of life, she decide to end her relationships two years. He was good to her but she felt that she need to learn who she is. Until, one day, she accidentally set her house on fire and the gorgeous firefighter Hayden Is there to save her. Their attraction is instant, but they thought they would never see each other again.
Hayden live and breathe his work, he loves all of it, specially the adrenaline. He can’t stop thinking about Adele, even some time after he save her. Until one day he gets home and find his new roommate, Adele.
From there on, while she tries to avoid her attraction to him and also to spill the beans of her tragic past, they start to get to know each other better, growing a relation of friendship. It was kind of beautiful how even without knowing what was going on with her, he was able to catch some little informations and slowly help her heal and made her more confident.
Towards the end, I was really surprised about the twist and I had my heart in my with what would happened to him or them for that matter. However, I wish it was elaborated because while I was still trying to figure out what happened to him, suddenly there was an epilogue and bye. There is not to say the ending was bad, because it really wasn’t! I love to pieces their happily ever after, they both deserve everything, even more so Adele

Readers first met Adele in Cocky Bastard as she is Chase’s sister and I am glad she got her own story. Adele has not had an easy life which has made her leery of letting go. Hayden is the sexy and flirty firefighter that is up for a good time. After a slight mishap with some candles, Hayden winds up saving Adele and from that point on, he cannot get her out of his mind. Adele has been somewhat of a homebody because she has trust issues because of her past. Forced to find a new place to live, Adele get a whopper of a shock when she realizes that Hayden is her new roommate. This is one sexy, slow burn to love as Hayden works to break down the barriers that Adele has formed. I volunteered to read a copy of this book.
I am absolutely in love with Hayden and Adele’s story. When am unexpected accident happens Adele meets Hayden, she never expects tobsee him again until she discovers he’s her new roomate. Their attraction is absolutely off the charts. Louise does an outstanding job in Filthy Firefighter! I read it all in one sitting and highly recommend it! Definitely 5 stars!
Filthy Firefighter by Emma Louise is part of the Cocky Hero Club Series, but can be a standalone book. This is the story of Adele and Hayden. Hayden is a firefighter who is focused completely on his work until he lays eyes on Adele. Adele meets Hayden when he comes in to save her from the fire that is burning in her home but he starts a fire on her inside that she never had before. Thinking to not see him again because he has her running hot she ends up being wrong when they end up living together. Hayden pushes her beyond her comfort zone but neither can stop the sparks that are flying. Enjoyed their story.

I gobbled this one right up. It’s one that can be read in one sitting. I loved Hayden. He is yummy and charmer. He easily charms the reader that’s for sure. Adele’s back story is going to break your heart. There are a few emotional moments that brought tears to me eyes. I truly loved the epilogue. It’s the cherry on the top of this book. I would recommend this one!
Loved it. While I would have loved it to be longer it was still perfect as it was. The storyline was brilliant and the characters were easy to read about. The chemistry was off the charts and the passion was amazing. I would definitely recommend this story.
Adele is unhappy in her relationship with her sweet but totally boring boyfriend. She breaks up with him and is enjoying a bubble bath when her apartment catches on fire. Hayden is a firefighter and attracted to Adele when their eyes meet. The two never expect to see each other again until Adele ends up being Hayden’s roommate. A steamy, sexy read with a hot dirty-talking firefighter and a woman that needs excitement in her life.

Phew. What a ride! I enjoyed the first part of the book. I definitely liked the themes presented and the heroine’s struggles. I liked the writing. But close to the end, everything started unraveling. It’s a personal preference, but there’s only so much tragedy I can endure in a book deemed a romance. I didn’t enjoy that ending. Yes, we finally get our HEA but, man…that was just way too much! We were going at high speed and then, a crash..because what else can you expect?
If high speed is your speed, then hop on! Just bring a helmet to ride this filthy firefighter story
A slow burn, quick and steamy read. Hayden is a filthy talking firefighter and rescues Adele from a fire. She then becomes his roommate. Both have some emotional baggage but find themselves healing together. A great story that brings the flames.
Filthy Firefighter is fun, flirty, sweet, sexy and seriously unputdownable!
Adele is having a hard time leaving her past where it should be, letting it define her present and possibly her future. Her insecurities hold her back while she tries to reinvent herself, making her life too safe and boring.
In a twist of fate, Hayden ends up saving Adele from a house fire, and then when they become roommates through a second twist of fate, he saves her in a completely different way…forcing her out of her comfort zone and burning through those walls she’s constructed.
Hayden is the whole damn package…a filthy talking, cocky risk taker who’s hot hot hot and flirts with Adele relentlessly, but it’s his sweet and caring nature that will really make you swoon.
Their burning chemistry just may make your kindle too hot to handle! They end up being just what the other needed…the everything they never knew they wanted. I freaking loved this book so much that after reading the last word, I immediately wanted to start it all over again!
An endearing and emotional story that is beautifuly written. Along with the emotional side of the story this has witty and flirty banter between the two main character’s that i found to be absolutely perfect.
I couldnt get enough of Hayden, he is a dream man. I loved how he was with Adele, he is everything she has needed to be able to love herself and start living. Adele really doesn’t give herself enough credit for what she’s been through and overcome, Hayden comes in to her life and makes her realise she is strong, beautiful and worthy.
A beautiful couple, i could read more from them.
I absolutely loved Filthy Firefighter, I mean who doesn’t like a dirty talking gorgeous firefighter….yeah, me either!! This is Adele and Hayden’s story, and what a story it is, it’s not a long book but it packs quite a bit in, I do wish it had been longer, but it was really good!! You will love this book and will root for Adele and Hayden the whole way!!
FFirefighter by Emma Louise is part of the CHCWorld, books written by various authors, inspired by V.Keeland and P.Ward’s books.
Every book in this world can be read as stand-alone.
This is Adele and Hayden’s well written story.
Adele is a single woman and has had a real bad day. To top it off, she lights her bathroom – literally. Hayden is a firefighter and in her case, a knight in not so shiny armor. But he has a weakness for damsels in distress. All in all, a great read, entertaining, well written. 4,5 stars.
I loved the storyline, it gave me all the feels. I read the book, cover to cover in one sitting – I had to know what happens next.
I connected easily with the characters and loved the excellent writing.
3.5 stars
Adele meets firefighter Hayden when he’s rescuing her and is surprised when he ends up being her roommate when she finds a new place to live.
I thought the set up for this story was really cute and liked getting to see Aubrey and Chance – Adele is Chance’s sister. The book is on the shorter side and I think I would have enjoyed it just a bit more if it were longer. The plot felt a bit rushed, but it was still a fun read.
Thank you to the author for providing an ARC for an honest review.
Guilt and shame hard things to live with, for Adele they were a weight that had her drowning. Knowing and feeling responsible for her brothers missed time with the woman he loves she tries to find her own footing while hiding. When she falls asleep waking to a smoke filled room the last thing she expects is to have her future rescue her.
Hayden the hot firefighter does what he does best, but when he sees the beauty that he just pulled out of the smoke filled room in his arms he is thrown for a loop.
Now the two are thrown together through some unexpected fate. Getting through the self incriminations and insecurities is hard for her but losing the man that she loves is even harder. Adele and Hayden learn that love is worth fighting through. With Chance and Aubrey cheering them on they bring us a beautiful romance that yes includes Pixy the goat! Another hit for CHC world!
Filthy Firefighter by Emma Louise, a Cocky Hero Club standalone, was such a fun, steamy and delightful read. A slow burning romance with a hot and charming firefighter and a woman not ready to open her heart. When Hayden is one of the firefighters to save Adele when her home is destroyed by a fire, she finds him irresistible. Good thing she never has to see him again, right? Life had other plans. Now roommates, neither can deny the chemistry they share. As they spend time together and get to know each other, walls begin to fall, but can they see what they share before it’s too late? Filthy Firefighter by Emma Louise was such a fun read. It was sweet, charming and sexy all at once.

Happy reading!
Wow!! What a beautiful, emotional journey of finding oneself!
Hayden and Adele’s story is truly amazing. After meeting by accident, fate steps in.
Hayden is a 5 alarm hot ass hell firefighter who is determined to know a blue eyed hot red head. Adele is amazing, she has come so far in her life but lacks confidence.
When an rental space come open, well then the flames are truly sparking.
But with comes the hot fire of chemistry, can these tow contain the fire or will is smolder and burn.
Absolutely loved this from a new to me author. I will most definitely follow her from this point on!! Bravo!
Love these Cocky Hero Club books. This story is about Hayden the sexy firefighter who saves Adele from a burning building. This book was beautiful, sweet, well written and really enjoyable.
Hands down my favorite of the Cocky Hero Club Novels so far. I am in love with Hayden completely. He is the perfect Cocky Hero. A lot alpha man who falls for his woman hard and fast and stops at nothing to have her add in that he is a tattooed firefighter and the cover there is no better than this book. Set in the Cocky Bastard world of Chance and Aubrey we get the story of Chance’s sister Adele who has seen her fair share of bad things and feels more than a little unworthy. Seriously though such a great addition to this wonderful, fun series
