I loved it! A fresh, funny, fiery hot romance from author Danika Bloom. I’ll be back for the entire six pack.
I love a firefighter romance and First In did not disappoint. The sexy times are hot and often humorous. The characters Nick and Sophie are complex people with real emotional wounds. I also enjoyed learning more about how a volunteer fire department works – always fun to gain some knowledge alongside the steamy bits. Will definitely read the next in series – Second Breath.
Thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series and can’t wait to dig into the next. Wonderful plot with strong heroine with great comeback lines that made me laugh out loud and a swoon-worthy hero whom I loved watching as he fell hard for this vivacious and spunky fire fighter. Danika Bloom is my new go-to author for romantic stories chockfull of memorable characters that I will think of for some time to come.
I chose this book to try a new author and I’m hooked. The story was so good, with humor, heart and real feelings. The steam was spot on!

This is the 1st in a new series and is Nick and Sophie’s story. Nick is a career firefighter, and when he is on his way to an interview for the Chief’s position, he comes across an accident where he takes control of the scene until help arrives. Sophie is a volunteer firefighter who has her eye on a promotion, and when she spots Nick, she is drawn to him. When Nick wins the position, he finds out that Sophie was going for the same job and feeling bad he gives her the deputy position. The chemistry between these two is off the charts and undeniable. This is a well written story which is filled with emotions, family, and love, which leads to a steamy page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I recommend.
A wonderful well written enemies to lovers type romance. This engaging storyline is witty while filled with adventure, action, drama, steam, and secrets in a smooth flowing story as they learn to trust and communicate to a HEA. The characters are interesting and have great sizzling chemistry. I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC.
Nick and Sophie are vying for the same chief of the fire department job in her home town. He is career so he gets it and she is second in command now. After just having her dad die, this is another major letdown. Her brother puts her through the wringer with a court case and the Sophie secret – one you will not believe. The romance stops for a while but comes back with strength. Suspense and surprises hit as a dear friend says bye. So many tear jerker moments and good hardy laughs. Loved the action and situations. Very well done.

Standalone HEA a steamy story
I LOVED this book!! The storyline was terrific and wonderful written. The characters were all developed beautifully. Poor Sophie had so much going on in this book; loss of her dad, loss of her promotion, threat of losing her home and a change in every childhood truth she held dear. Nick is the one who takes that promotion, but there is so much more to the man then just a hot firefighter that took her job. The development of these characters and their feelings for each other totally makes this book amazing. The end of this story is beautiful and an amazing conclusion to a terrific book. Also, the donut scene is HOT. I won’t look at donuts the same again and I’m not sure that I want to.

This steamy, small-town firefighter romantic trope, built around the relationship between career firefighter Nick and resident volunteer firefighter Sophie, is an emotionally-filled, action-packed narrative, with enough secrets and drama to draw the reader in from the very first word.
Highly recommended.
This was an interesting and exciting romance between Sophie who was wanting a paid position being offered over several volunteer fire departments and Nick who was a firefighter on a career path. When they meet and are immediately attracted to each other, they don’t realize that he’s the one that filled the position that she wanted. Then family drama on both sides and emotional insecurities help to keep Nick and Sophie doubting themselves and each other. Good emotional read

This is book one in the Mixed Six Pack series. It’s a small town, firefighter romance. Each book in the series is about one of the brothers finding love. I really enjoyed Nick and Sophia’s story. In this book you meet Dylan and Josh who you meet in this book and have their own stories to tell in books two (Dylan) and three (Josh). There’s a lot going on in this book for both characters, through in some misunderstandings and lack of communication and you have yourself a big mess in nothing flat.
Nick is the least successful of the children in his family, according to his dad that is. Nicks brothers are in high powered successful jobs and his dad is all about the prestige and bragging rights. Nick is trying to fast track his way to chief and taking a job as a chief of a volunteer fire department in a small but growing town is his way of getting the experience to get a chief’s job at a regular fire department. Sophie is the youngest of 9 children and the only one that came home to take care of her father when he got sick. Her older siblings are horrible. She gave up finishing her nursing degree to come home and be her father’s caretaker giving up a job and a fiancé. She took a job as a volunteer firefighter to help make some extra money and thought she was a shoe in for the chief’s position. Unfortunately for her Nick is the one given the position. They’re attracted to each other and for Nick Sophie is different than any woman he’s dealt with in the past. Can these to make a relationship work? Or are they doomed to fail?

I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book and I really enjoyed it.
This is the first book in The Mixed Six Pack series, it can be read as a standalone story. This is the first book I’ve read by Danika Bloom and I will definitely be reading more. An interesting storyline that filled with plenty of family drama, steamy chemistry and witty banter.
The characters are all incredibly likable and relatable, wonderful story.
