From a USA Today Bestseller comes a new series about single parents! Single-DadFirefighterSince my divorce five years ago, these are the two labels I’ve identified with. Now, I’m ready for more. Ready to give dating a shot, even with an eight-year-old daughter and twenty-four hour shifts needing my attention.When Sydney has a snow-day and we have an epic malfunction in the kitchen, we decide to … in the kitchen, we decide to head to the breakfast joint we’ve frequented for years.
Except today something is different.
Our normal waitress, Emma, isn’t all baggy clothes and ducking her head to keep me from seeing her face. Today? Today I feel like I see her for the first time, and damned if our gazes don’t ignite a heat I’ve only felt while on the job.

This was a really sweet and quick romance. No really over the top drama just sweetness. Emma has a crush on Ash in high school and when he finally notices her years later she jumps on the chance. They were adorable together and his daughter was just icing on the cake for me. This looks a promising start to a new series

I am a huge fan of Laramie Briscoe and enjoy her stories very much. They are sweet, romantic and charming with great characters and Inflame hit all that and more. A single firefighter dad, his adorable daughter and the woman who he suddenly sees in a very different light! This was a great quick read and I devoured it!
Ash and Emma have known each other for a long time but seemed to circle each other for years. Emma noticed Ash and crushed on him, but Ash was busy doing his thing. But now may be their time. I loved both of these characters and Ash’s daughter so much. Ash was strong, determined and caring. Emma was trying to find her way and Ash was a huge help. They had great chemistry and I loved watching them navigate life and their budding relationship. I loved Inflame by Laramie Briscoe and cannot wait to read more of this series.

I received a review copy of the book before release for an honest review.
I really love this authors stories. She writes these amazing characters that are fun, sweet and romantic and perfect together and who live in small towns and have known each other for years, it makes a warm and wonderful romance and this is a brand new series of hers.
This is about Ash and Emma. Emma had a hard time growing up and as soon as she was 18 she left home and got an apt and job and thats where she is today. She works at a diner and at the library and doesn’t have huge career aspiratons. But she had a MAJOR crush on Ash n high school though he didn’t know she existed.
Ash knew Emma in high school but he was with Courtney who he ends up married, divorced and now is a single dad. He knew Emma in high school but they did not KNOW each other. Now he sees her and wants to get to know her.
This is a novella length story but it was pretty wonderful. Full of warm characters who don’t have too many hang ups and just want to get to know each other and spend time together. Its a fun story and very romantic and Ash is fantastic as our hero. While the ex is around she is with someone else and there are no major dramas there which I kinda loved.
Ash is a single father to his six year old daughter Sydney and a firefighter in Midnight Cove. Emma works at Bridget’s as a waitress and has had a crush on Ash since high school. An unexpected incident forces Ash to take Sydney to Bridget’s to eat. Emma and Ash have amazing chemistry and encourage each other throughout the book. An extraordinary storyline that was well written and detailed characters that you can’t help but love. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Inflame is the first book in a new series from Laramie Briscoe. I enjoyed Ash and Emma’s story. If you’re looking for a fast-paced sweet, not a lot of drama book, then give Inflame a try. Laramie’s writing is good.
Goodness, what a grand start to a new series I know I am going to love. You know that Ash is going to treat Emma well by the way Ash treats Syd, you can feel the love between father and daughter. The chemistry between Ash & Emma jumps off the page. This is a quick read that will grip your emotions and leave you with a smile on your face.
This book had me at single dad then throw in firefighter you have me sold. This was a fast enjoyable read. It had many sweet and fun moments. The scenes with Ash and his daughter warmed my heart. I loved that Emma is a baker. Plus she’s super nice and kind which is what Ash needs in his life. There was a part in this book that had me tear up a bit. The characters are great and engaging. You could feel the connection between Emma and Ash. I’m really looking forward to more from this series!
The Midnight Cove series is starting with a BANG!!! Holy heck that was hot. I had to fan myself. Laramie you know how to pull me in with your words. I devoured Ash and Emma’s story. Loved every second of it. The heartache, the growth of Ash, Emma and Syd. I can’t wait to see what happens in this series. Hopefully get more of Ash and Emma as well.
Sweet, quick read with great characters. Ash is a divorced single dad of an adorable 6 year old girl and Emma is the quiet girl from high school that has always had a secret crush on him. Ash finally saw what was in front of him and made his move. It was a bit slow but not so slow build up with no drama and very beautiful moments. I loved how nothing was rushed between Emma and Ash and how his little girl was number one in everything.
Great start to this new series you get so much in this quick read…. you get the sweet, sassy, hot read.
I loved this story so much!!! I mean you can’t go wrong with a single hot dad who’s life revolves around his daughter and he is a firefighter to boot…lord have mercy!!! Emma and Ash have known each other since high school. She has always had a crush on Ash for about that long. Emma is shy but when she sees him come in for breakfast one morning she seizes the opportunity to see if there could be more between them. Ash has been beginning to see Emma in a new light….he wants to see where this goes but wants to make sure that Syd is top priority even more so since her mom has come back to town and wants to see Syd after not seeing her for 6 months. I enjoyed the banter between Ash and Emma….it was so sweet to watch them fall for each other. The relationship that developed between Syd and Emma so sweet….it was clear that they absolutely adored each other. This author knocked this story out of the park and I highly recommend this read to all. I can’t wait to see what she comes out with next and you best believe I will be one clicking that book asap. Well done!!!
I was looking forward to this one as soon as L.B. announced it, I couldn’t wait to dive in… and I was NOT disappointed! Ash and Em were awesome! L.B. gave her usual slow burn… with lots of swoon worthy moments… heart breaking realities… and can’t-help-but-love-them characters.
Ash is a single dad an hot fire fighter who takes care of the adorable Syd on his own… he struggles with the lack of involvement his ex-wife has in their daughters life but he is ready to hit the dating scene again… after 5 long years.
Em works part time at the local diner and library ….but neither of these jobs are her passion. When she takes a leap and connects with Ash she realizes where she should be in more ways then one.
Ash and Em’s story is short and sweet… and another one of LB’s books that makes me believe in HEA’s!! Definitely one of my top 3 faves when it comes to L.B.’s works :)… can’t wait for the next book in the series, I hope it’s Gunner’s book *fingers crossed*
Great start to a new single father series. Love this one a lot. It is Hot!
I enjoy this author’s style of writing so I had to see what lay behind this one. This is a start of a new series so I got in the right place. This place is a tight community with characters that dot the town. In this one we get to see Emma and Ash go beyond the occasional meeting thanks to her job to something else. The daughter has a play in it with her being raised by Ash. Love reading about single dads who get it. The journey with these two is sweet and hot enjoying the emotions it can pull out. Great beginning and a quick one to read.
This is a pretty quick read about a single father giving it his all and suddenly realizing there is room for more in his life…if he takes the chance. This is also the story about the quiet girl from high school that admired the star athlete from afar knowing he would never notice her….but one day he does. Sometimes the stars take awhile to align and then the rest is up to you to grab opportunities that could change your life.
This author has a writing style that I enjoy. I find her characters well fleshed out and relate-able. I love that even in this story she takes the high road when it comes to the past and present meeting. Great read.
Wow what a great read this was! Emma and Ash have both been so lonely lately, looking for the forever partner. Stuck in routines and life as a single dad one morning he finally takes a good long look at Emma , that is all it takes and he is a goner. These two are so sweet together, she is such a perfect match for him and his daughter.
Ash is a single dad and firefighter. He has an eight year old daughter named Sydney. Emma is a waitress at the restaurant Ash and his daughter visit. One morning Emma is no longer hiding behind baggy clothes. Ash takes notice and things heat up between them. I liked the relationship with Ash and Sydney and there wasn’t OW drama with his ex. This was a sexy, sweet,and great read.
This book was so easy to read and get caught up in. In fact, it was over before I was ready to let these characters go. The story itself is a slow burn but the chemistry and connection between Ash and Emma is instantaneous. Ash is everything sweet and noble you could possibly want in the single dad firefighter. Emma has a giant heart and generous spirit that are exactly what Ash and his little girl, Syd, need. Sydney is an old soul in the body of a precocious child. She’s quite possibly my favorite part of the book. There are some big personalities in the cast of characters that surround them. I can’t wait to read more about Midnight Cove.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
Oh. My. God. I am obsessed! OBSESSED I TELL YOU! Inflame is dream read for anyone who loves a hot, sexy and sweet single dad. When I say I flew through the pages it’s an understatement. I didn’t put this baby down once reading every bit of it in one bliss filled sitting. I just may be addicted to Ash. Ok, I’m definitely addicted to Ash.
With Ash’s sexiness and sweetness making for a lethal combo there’s no way you won’t be falling in love with him. Then you’ve got the endlessly adorable Emma who’s had a crush on Ash since high school. Just as sweet as he is and with the type of personality that has you rooting for her to get the guy you can’t help but love her just as much. Inflame will fill your heart up with all sorts of warm and fuzzy happiness!
Being a single parent and a fire fighter doesn’t leave much room for dating. Since his wife left him and their daughter, he’s both mom and dad. When Emma catches his eye, he’s sees her in a totally different light. When they both decide to take a chance on love, it’s a flame that burn bright and hot. This book is definitely slow burn material and will leave you smoldering even after it ends.
