Once upon a time… A sister told her brothers, “Eventually, a girl is going to come along and flip your worlds upside down.” She was right… …and Nate was the first to fall. After saving Remi from a house fire, Nate’s instantly drawn to her…like a moth to a flame. He should forget about her, the way he does with everyone else he saves. However, that’s easier said than done when he can’t … flame.
He should forget about her, the way he does with everyone else he saves.
However, that’s easier said than done when he can’t stop thinking about her or those pretty green eyes. They are almost branded into his brain.
It breaks his rules to visit her. Even if it’s to check she’s okay.
But screw it…Nate’s rules can go and burn.
The woman from the fire is more than he expects; funny, sweet and hot as hell.
Suddenly those careful plans he has in place no longer seem important.
Can Nate create something unique with the woman of his dreams, or will his past, jealous best friend and her crazy ex-boyfriend take the spark that is their attraction and make it disappear in a puff of smoke?

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This book is about a fireman and a fire woman that work together. Now would be the time to get the book. I will be getting more from this author. Thank You for writing the books for us to read.
It was another day on the job as a firefighter for Nate, until he crossed paths with Remi, and knew, without a shadow of a doubt, how his life had just changed for the better.
After being rescued from a fire that took her world and broke it into pieces, Remi thought her life was over. Until Firefighter Nate walks into her life, and proves himself worthy of her heart.
With her past coming back to haunt them, Nate and Remi prove that their love, even in the short amount of time they’ve known each other, is stronger than any evil that can hurt them.
This was my first book by this author, and what a read it was! I coudn’t put my kindle down, and I know you will enjoy this book just as much!
I absolutely loved reading Nate and Remi’s story. They’re adorable together. Elena did a great job talking about the job of a firefighter and really drew you into the story. I couldn’t put this book down, I can’t wait for Logan’s story
This is a fast paced read. Nate & Remi fall in insta love after he saves her. This book had me smiling so much! I enjoyed it. Hopefully we get a novella for Logan & Ally *wink, wink* Elena
A well written fast pace first book in the Once Upon A Player series! It is a captivating read that is well developed, relatable, and engaging; it is bursting with action, suspense, danger, humour, witty banter, and intrigue. The characters are strong and likeable; their chemistry is intense and off the charts. A Must Read!

In The Fire
Lets talk about Nate, he isn’t just the average man, No he is the sexiest fire fighter in the area.
When a call comes in for a house fire, Nate is on the scene and can’t believe the sight in front of him. There she is trapped in the room and he knows he has to do all he can to save her. Once she is to safety there is something nagging at him and he can’t stop thinking about her.
Nate just has to know if she is alright, so he goes to check on her and if it wasn’t bad enough when he saw her in distress, he is a goner when he sees Remi and knows the pain she is in. Somehow he just becomes just what she needs at the moment, a shoulder to lend on and a hand to hold.
But just when things look like they could progress, Remi has a past that may just come back to haunt her and she doesn’t even realize it. Nate also has a problem that he is oblivious to as well, and that problem just might cost him a possible relationship.
Just like the protective man, Nate vows that he will protect her, but can he really save her from the unforeseen danger on both sides? I mean after all he is one if not the best fire fighters in the area.
If you are looking for danger, romance and action this is the read for you.
Elena Matthews is (was) a new-to-me author and if I’m being honest here, what attracted me to Forever Nate was the cover (hot) and length of the book. I’m an avid reader and there is a lot of romance fiction being published on the daily and I have a lot of go-to authors so if I’m going to take a few hours away from them …. You feel me, right? Anywho, turns out my time was well invested. Nicely done Ms Matthews!
I don’t have much to say except I enjoyed the heck out of Nate and Remi. They had an insta-connection that was written well enough to be believable and their story unfolded nicely. I’m looking forward to more Once Upon a Player books and going back to reading the Our Forever books as well.
5 star review Forever Nate (Once Upon a Player #1) by Elena Matthews
Elena Matthews is a new author to me and I have no idea why that is. I really enjoyed this story about Nate and Remi. Although not a particularly long book Ms.Matthews certainly managed to pack a lot into it. This book is told from Nate’s point of view and whilst I enjoyed it, I would love to have gotten Remi’s as well.
After saving Remi from a house fire, he goes against his normal behaviour and visits her in the hospital where he immediately falls for her. Is there such a thing as love at first sight? For Nate there is for sure.
The chemistry between Nate and Remi is scorching and it only builds as the story progresses. I not only liked the main characters but found the secondary characters to be just as entertaining. Remi is dealing with an ex that will not give up and I loved how protective and alpha Nate became. It was also interesting that Nate had issues of his own he needed to overcome.
There was a good mix of romance and suspense that left me with a smile on my face and anxious to read the next book in the series which I believe is Forever Logan.
This was a great read I enjoyed the well developed and engaging characters and the storyline flowed smoothly from the beginning to the end.

I loved this book and can’t wait for the next book in the series, Forever Logan. I enjoyed the story from beginning to end. I read about 80 percent of it in just one day, I couldn’t put it down. I was a great start to a new series. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Nate is perfectly happy as a bachelor. His life is never end string of one-night stands. He swears he’s staying single, but his sister swears that one day her brothers are going to find that one woman who is going to shake up their whole world. Nate doesn’t believe it until he saves Remi from a fire. Next thing he knows he’s visiting her in the hospital and not even looking at other women. He’s decided that Remi is it for him. She’s his forever but Remi has some issues of her own and an ex that just won’t leave her alone and someone from Nate’s life that isn’t happy he’s with Remi. Will they be able to work through it all to find their happy forever?

Nate was a gorgeous firefighter that collected women way too easily. Very aware of his charm and appeal, he shamelessly used his appeal to get what he wanted from the opposite sex. I was a bit disappointed in him charming a nurse to get info on Remi, who he had valiantly saved from death, only to give her a fake telephone number instead of letting her down honestly.
This sweet slow burn romance between the hero and rescuer Nate and sweet Remi had an adolescent feel to it as their dialogue was quite simple and ordinary. I was never really convinced of their connection or passion even though the storyline tried to convince me of their deep chemistry.
All in all a sweet romance.

Alpha Insta Love at its finest! Whew! Forever Nate is a great story!! Watching Nate and Remi not only fall in love, but overcome all the obstacles to keep that love was beautiful! Cannot wait for more from this author!
This is the first book by this author. So I went in not sure what to expect. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
From page one, I was hooked.
Nate is content with where his life is at, being single and being able to have endless amounts of flings/one night stands and not having to worry about much, but that all changes when Remi comes into the picture.
Remi and Nate ticked all the right boxes for me. Nate saved Remi from her house when it’s on fire, and instantly he can’t seem to get her out of his head, so he pays her a visit at the hospital and they become fast friends, but these two had a connection stronger than that and it’s really the moment they fall in love with each other.
This was told in Nate’s POV, and though I normally like a duel POV and I don’t often come across a male POV that I really really really enjoy but this one I did, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to see Remi POV.
This was a fast-paced, install-connection/love romance, that had my attention right from the beginning. Extremely well written and easy to follow, I couldn’t put it down!
