Caitlin Tyler doesn’t do bridges–she just doesn’t know it until she lands her dream job and freezes halfway across her new town’s towering death span. Cue the cocky, infuriating fireman who goads her off the bridge. He’s hot, but he’s also exactly the kind of guy she wants to avoid…which she manages to do for a whole four hours. Lt. Shane Hendricks is only two weeks away from leaving Dry … leaving Dry Rock. He sure as hell doesn’t need to get involved with a woman he has to rescue twice in one day. The fact that she’s clearly annoyed by him doesn’t deter him from throwing down a challenge–one that proves hard to resist for all the wrong reasons.
They’re moving in different directions. Leaving should be easy, but falling for Caitlin might be the one fire he can’t put out…

3.5 I actually read this book a while ago and thought I wrote a review, apparently, I didn’t. So, I’ll try to do that now. This book is full of humorous and quirky characters.
The small town fire department is tight and they’re about to lose one of their own to the big city of Denver. They don’t see a way they can keep Shane from going. That is, until a call comes in about a jumper on the bridge.
Caitlin isn’t really a jumper, she’s just got a couple of hang-ups. Before Shane leaves town he decides he has to help Caitlin get over some of those. By the time he’s done he’s not so sure he wants to leave anymore.
Her Sexy Challenge is a sweet story that is a quick and entertaining read.
Her Sexy Challenge by Sarah Ballance a fancy four-star read. I have really enjoyed other reads by this author so knew I couldn’t miss this one, hunky firefighters what more could you ask for. Dry Rock sounds like a nice place to live, idyllic a river to dip your toes in a hot firefighting department all that it needed was a bookstore to pick up all the goodies and Caitlin Tyler seems to bring that. This is a sun story with some great romance and steam, I didn’t give it five-stars as I really enjoyed it but I didn’t devour it like I have other works by this author.
When Caitlin and Shane meet, she has just followed her dream and opened a bookstore in Dry Rock and he is going to Denver in two weeks to follow his dreams. So the timing is not good, to say the least. But attracted to each other they have a steamy fling. Will Shane stay in Dry Rock for Caitlin, when he has dreamt for 20 years to step into his father’s footsteps?
I love fireman-heroes and Shane is is yummy. I enjoyed this romance!
There are some secondary characters I can’t wait to read about (Lexi and Matt). – 2017
Loved it !! love all this authors books
Please keep writing these light-hearted books.
loved it.
Such a lovely story! Who wouldn’t want a hot fireman saving you from your fears! The characters are likeable and relatable. Their journey to happiness is heartwarming.
Not one for the ages, but didn’t expect it to be….dopey characters, dopey dialog. Of course he didn’t do what he was supposed to….it wouldn’t be a romance if he did!
This was an easy read, which I appreciated. The storyline was fairly original but I had a hard time getting attached to the leading characters. Overall it was an ok read but I wouldn’t rush back for more.
I loved the bantering and the way the characters resisted the inevitable falling in love! Couldn’t put this book down until it was finished. A great read!
So it’s funny in spots. Romantic in spots but I found that they fought their feelings too much. I would have liked to see more of them together as a couple. But not bad of a story.
seems like this was written by an over active teenager
Very well-written book.
Not much of a story line, just about sex.
DNF. The “Hero” was a huge jerk. He made fun of her for her fears that were legitimate! As a firefighter he should have had just a little bit more sensitivity towards the people he’s trying to help, instead of mocking them about it to their FACE! I couldn’t get past his awful attitude enough to continue reading. I don’t like these kinds of people in real life and I sure and hell won’t read about them as if they are any kind of hero. I refused to finish since my blood pressure spiked every time he opened his mouth.
Enjoyed the numerous passages which had me laughing out loud. Hated to stop reading if only for a few hours. Scene of wedding very appropriate.
This was a nice entertaining short read.
I loved Caitlin’s quirkiness and Shane was so hot and funny. I thought they were well matched and a great romance. I liked the twist to the HEA.
Her Sexy Challenge by Sarah Ballance
This is Caitlin Tyler and Shane Hendricks’ story.
Oh my goodness! This is a fun and sexy romance. I fell in love with Caitlin and Shane’s characters. The banter between Shane and Caitlin was so much fun. The supporting characters were a great addition to the story too. Will Caitlin and Shane give in to the hot chemistry between and take a chance on love?
I love how this author incorporates a fun and steamy romance with a touching story. Shane’s group of friends seemed like a great bunch of people to spend time with. A wonderful read and a great way to escape from everyday life that will leave you smiling.
FYI, contains mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Ms. Ballance’s talent lies in her understanding of the three H’s. With humor, heart and heat she sets out to charmingly seduce readers and seldom does she ever miss the mark. Laughter has the power to heal, uplift and unite. Heart brings commonality making it easier to relate to the words on the page and the characters that bring them to life. Heat gets a reaction and draws readers in to the connection between the main characters. Put these three vital factors together and you get an irresistible tale like Her Sexy Challenge, an addictive and entertaining bundle of fun.
