Love this book. It was HOT. This is the book if you want something HOT to read
Sparks that turn into Flames….
I am declaring this book a 5-alarm fire read. Noah Hughes and Cara Murphy are so hot they could start a fiery blaze with the chemistry they have together. Cara is a school teacher who loves her job and doesn’t have time for a half decent social life. But all that changes when she hooks up with Noah. Noah is a firefighter who is a gorgeous hot firestorm. He is a widow raising his son, a son who is his top priority in his life.
Cara and Noah start off being “friends with benefits” but that all quickly changes. They both have been hurt and have erected many firewalls to keep that from happening again. Their relationship with each other puts Cara’s career in jeopardy. They both realize they need to make some difficult life altering decisions that could change their lives completely. This is my first read by Julie Morgan, but definitely not my last.
Julie Morgan is a new author to me and I was super excited to receive an arc for Misadventures with a Firefighter. This did not disappoint!
Cara is career driven woman and having had her heart broken once, all her focus is on reaching higher in her career. She has goals and nothing is going to keep her away from getting there. Noah is the hot as hell firefighter every woman lusts for but his focus is on the happiness of his son after being widowed.
After a passionate night together, both are surprised when they see each other again under circumstances that could cost Cara her future. Sparks go off between the two and they can’t help themselves but are they putting Cara at risk?
This is a hot, sexy read as well as heartwarming and I loved every second of it. There are also some moments where one character gets you heated and not for good reasons. There is definitely some drama in here and I was left happy at the end.
*ARC received for my honest review*
This book definitely lit my fire! Debra @ Janise’s Jivin’ Book Blog
You never know where or when you could be meeting your forever person. This story has some really cute moments but it mostly has a ton of sizzle and heart stealing moments.
Cara has some trust issues with men little does she know she should also be looking in other areas of her life. She is fun, spunky and focused on her career but Noah makes her wanting to take chances.
Noah has experience his own heartbreak but is willing to push for having Cara’s time. Even when he gets a surprise.
The characters in this book range from your gonna love them to I want to put them in time out!
It was a great read and I look forward to reading more of Julie Morgan’s work.
Loved this misadventure. Always love the firefighters but Noah sounds like a real keeper. Cara wasn’t looking for a relationship but when things fall in your lap you can’t ignore them. Meeting Noah is the best thing for Cara and Noah finds out she is the best thing for her. They have an amazing relationship and continue to let it grow.
When the Misadventures series first started, we all knew there would be growing pains. Well seems those pains were all for the good if we can take anything from Misadventures with a Firefighter. Julie Morgan brought us into a relationship unknown and hooked us with whit, compassion and lots of hot sexy action. What else could ya ask for?
Cara is independent, smart, successful and determined. But Cara has been hurt before and has shielded her heart from anything close to a relationship. Teacher or not, she knows where her future lies and is letting nothing get in the way of her achieving her heart’s desire. But hey, even with all that on her plate, a girl still needs to unwind.
Noah is all alpha male. Strong, hard working, and a dad to add on to it. Noah’s life has not been easy and while he is respected and loved by all, he still has his own battles. Firefighters deal with so much more than people realize. Thank goodness this guy has a way of releasing those tensions. Of course who knows what can come from a misadventure when you least expect it?
Learning friend from foe can be a very costly lesson sometimes. These two fortunately are able to learn and grow together through all the turmoil. Oh and did I mention the sex is amazing.
Misadventures with a Firefighter is one hot story. Julie Morgan brings all the sexiness. She also grabs the heartstrings and twist the hell out of them with all the activity between these two. Just a dang fun story and worth all the stars I can bestow.
Noticing a hot firefighter across a bar turns into a night fueled by passion for Cara and Noah. They both feel an instant connection with hopes of it becoming so much more. When one of her kindergarten students ends up being Noah’s son the relationship needs to end immediately. But the sparks do not end. Can the two hide their relationship to save her job? Will they end up with a HEA despite the rules and regulations that are against them? With characters that are totally relate-able and a storyline that might be a quick read but really packs a punch this is another great read in the series.
This was a quick read for me. Once I started it, I didn’t put it down. Noah and Cara are both damaged souls, very different reasons, but damaged nonetheless. The story is filled with a bit of indecision, inner and outer conflict and trust issues just to name a few. It’s also loaded with hope, witty back and forth, and enough heat that you’d need the firefighter to put out the flames.
Misadventures with a Firefighter by Julie Morgan is smoking hot and incredibly sweet. Firefighter Noah Hughes is a widower and single dad. Cara Murphy is a New York City kindergarten teacher with scars on her heart. But when these two get together it is HOT. I really enjoyed this story but recommend a fan and a tall cool drink.
HOOKED! This book had me hooked from the very beginning. and I could not put it down. I loved the easy going, funny, and steamy interactions between Noah and Cara. Did I say funny? Yeah, do NOT drink anything while reading this book. They both have things in their past, and present, that are standing in the way of a future together. Can they overcome them or will they let let the past continue to haunt them?
This book may be my new favorite by Julie Morgan.
