This is a short firefighter love story. Kate and Tod are longtime friends but after a drunk kiss, Tod starts to see Kate in a different light. Kate has a secret crush on Tod from the start an can not believe that Tod has a feeling for her. They start steamy romance but someone is trying to hurt Kate will Tod be able to save her. This book or style of writing was not for my taste so I didn’t like the book very much. The characters are ok but I couldn’t relate to any of them. The story not for my liking.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for NetGalley
This is such a clever story mixing crazy romance, a culprit, crimes and blooming love. Such a delightful read!
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Who would have thought that the womanizing firefighter and the innocent baker would fall into love and lust. That’s exactly what happens in Flash Point, the third and final book in the Holding Out for a Hero series by author Shelli Stevens. This story takes place in the small, coastal town of Wyattsville, Oregon, and the Wyatt brothers are the stars along with a great cast of characters.
Todd and Kate have known each other since childhood. They are friends, however, Kate has secretly crushed on Todd for years. They share a kiss a while back, which ends up having a lot of meaning to both of them. Their friendship develops into a hot fling, which turns into much more when they almost lose each other.
This is a engrossing read, and the author balances the plot and sexy times with ease. Overall, this is a well-written friends to lovers romance with a captivating couple and a neighbor who is full of surprises.

A quick sexy read that I so enjoyed. Kate, known as the sweet girl has always had a crush on Todd Wyatt, a hot firefighter. She has decided he would be the perfect person to be her first, so begins the seduction. Todd is known for his one night and leave them but he soon realizes that one night is not enough with Kate.
A fast paced story that can be read in one sitting. Great character development. A hint of mystery when Kate’s bakery is vandalized. Loved the epilogue of tying the series up. I thing Todd is my my favorite brother, I have such a soft spot for firefighters!
He is the youngest of the Wyatt brothers and I have been waiting for Todd’s story. He doesn’t believe in happy ever afters not after been burned in the romance stakes once before. Kate owns the local bakery and she is almost like a surrogate little sister to the Wyatt boys but she has harboured a crush on Todd for years She just can’t get him to notice her and also an experienced man like him wouldn’t be interested in a virgin like her. Even when she drunkenly kissed him he still didn’t take her seriously or did he. Todd hasn’t been able to forget that kiss from Kate ever since it happened and when she offers him a one night stand he is all for it only problem she stole his heart at the same time. With lots of misunderstanding clouding the way will they get a HEA You will have to read to see.
