“I’m not happy after I lose a bet and have to get lunch for all the guys at the fire station—until I see the smoking hot girl behind the counter.” This was excellent. Quick, steamy, and romantic.
Hot. Hot. Hot! This is a book to set your eReader on fire! Anders is smokin’ hot and Sydney has just what he needs. If you’ve ever had the kind of kisses that curl your toes, you’ll understand why Sydney has it so bad for Anders. Really savor stories I can “eat up”!
I received an advanced reader copy from the author in exchange for my volunteer review.
I love “Playing With Fire”! Anders is not the best with social situations but this fireman does just fine with a woman who inspires him to be brave. Funny, witty, great dialogue, interesting characters with fiery sweet chemistry – a surprisingly clever short romance that delivers on all levels!

This is the 11th book in the Zaftig Dating Agency series. This one is about Sydney, our curvy young woman, and Anders, our hot, older firefighter. As with the previous books in the series, a friend approaches the agency because Anders does not have much of a life outside of work. When Anders first meets Sydney, there is insta-love, insta-lust in the air. It is obvious they will get their happily ever after. I really enjoy the way Ms. Fox has written this series of books and I look forward to the next.

Hot firefighter with a pizza.
Now that’s a fantasy.
Anders is 36, a firefighter who losses a bet and gas to pick up lunch from the deli.
Sydney is 23 and works at the deli. She’s fending off another dude and Anders instead asks her out.
Super short, sweet with a bit of spice.

Her day went from really to to freakin’ amazing when her sexy firefighter walked through the door
Playing With Fire is the story of Anders Stone and Sydney Damon. Anders is thirty-six years old, is a firefighter and is in need of a woman that will be his right match. She has to be able to take his tough and rugged side and also his sweet marshmallow interior. Sydney is twenty-three years old and is going to school to get her Masters degree in Speech Pathology. She has worked part-time at Dean’s Deli since high school. She is also a beautiful strawberry blonde with a curvy figure.
Anders was referred to The Zaftig Dating Agency by his fellow firefighter Josh, who is also a good friend. Josh makes a bet with Anders where the loser has to pick-up lunch for the crew the next shift. Anders loses which makes him visit Dean’s Deli to pick up the order and introduces him to Sydney. Lucky for Sydney Anders comes into the deli when he does as she is dealing with a man who she went out with once and who thinks she “owes him” something. Anders ensures that the guy backs off and then he slowly stakes his claim to Sydney by asking her out. Sydney went from having a really bad day to having one of the best days she ever could. But her days are only going to get better from this point forward if Anders has anything to say in the situation……………as he has fallen hard for her.
This is another wonderfully OTT sweet and slight sexy salty short story in the Zaftig Dating Agency series. I completely enjoyed reading this book. It is a definite must read!!!

Anders is a firefighter with a soft side. Sydney is a grad student working in a nearby deli. Mona believes them to be a perfect match, and, as usual, she’s absolutely correct. Andres is Sydney’s hero when he rescues her from the idiot looking for a date in the deli. She knows she’s gonna break her rule about sleeping with a guy too soon the minute he shows up at her house with dinner. (Hot fireman with a pizza? I’m pretty sure I’ve had this dream before.) This book is almost too short, but otherwise a very enjoyable short read.

This is a short,fast paced story with strong characters in Anders and Sydney. The author gives them an instant attraction and connection with a steamy chemistry. She moves the story quickly and smoothly and brings her scenes to life with her detailed and descriptive writing. I enjoyed reading their story.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Playing with Fire by Jane Fox. Sydney is a very lucky girl! And Anders is just right for her. I love how the this series is set up (quick run in, meet and greet at just the right time, fate, coincidence) it’s so sweet that they have good family and friends that are willing to nudge the couples a little (secretly of course). Good short story with mild drama, passion, charming characters, insta connections, and plenty of passion. This is book eleven in the Zaftig Dating Agency series and can be read as a standalone.

Sometimes fate needs a little help getting deserving people together. Welcome to the files of the Zaftig Dating Agency, where alpha men find the women of their dreams! The potential match this time is between Anders Stone, a 36-year-old firefighter; and 23-year-old Sydney Damon, a grad student, employed by Dean’s Deli Notes, and working on her Master’s degree in speech pathology.
Anders is coaxed into a bet with Josh at the firehouse regarding the winner of a fight. The loser of the bet will buy lunch for the entire station. When his pick goes down in the 6th round, the guys tell him he needs to pick up their phoned-in lunch order the next day at Dean’s Deli on his way in. As he walks in the next day, a guy at the counter is hassling the pretty woman and grabs her wrist roughly. Behind him, Anders tells him to listen to the lady, as the man swings around to punch him. However, Anders is 6’5” and the man ends up staring at his muscled chest and quickly backing down.
Anders pays for the lunches, then asks if Sydney would like to have a drink with him sometime, no strings attached. She smiles and gives him her number. Two hours later, she agrees to the date! Is this the start of their HEA? Will the jerk at the counter come back and give her trouble? Grab your copy and see how things work out for them in this sort but enjoyable story!
Anders is a bit gruff and anti social so his friend decides to help him out a little. Sydney is a college student working at a deli when Anders walks in leaving her speechless. These two have an immediate attraction with one another and soon they become inseparable. This was another short and sweet story about finding love with a little help.
