Fire isn’t the only thing heating up this department, and time is running out; possibly for all of them. Will Hallie manage to save her department, and her crush, before it’s too late?
HalliePeople have always told me that a woman can’t do a man’s job. We belong at home, in the kitchen … or so they say.But I made it, and I’m here. I passed the fire department’s strenuous testing, and I’m now I’m … made it, and I’m here. I passed the fire department’s strenuous testing, and I’m now I’m the first female firefighter to make it onto the Lakewood Fire Department’s staff.
But there’s a problem—a big problem. The men don’t want me here, and neither does anyone else. The only real support I have is from our Captain, Tate Becker, and earning my crew’s trust is a task I feel I might never be able to accomplish.
Falling for my capital? I don’t think any of us saw that coming.
Tate
Hallie earned her spot on my squad regardless of my men’s feelings towards her. She’s determined, sassy, and she knows exactly what she wants.
I like that in a girl.
But just when we think the guys might actually accept this newcomer, Hallie is framed, and our department’s trust is shattered.
The worst part? I think it’s one of our very own.
Proving Hallie’s innocence means finding the real culprit, even if it kills me. I’d do anything for my crew, but Hallie is more than just that …
Because I think I’m falling for her, hard, and I won’t let her go down for this.
Saving Becker is part of the Heroes with Badges series universe, but can also be read as a standalone. It’s a full-length steamy romance suspense that’s all about first-responders doing what they do best. It features no cheating, no cliff-hangers, and a happily ever after ending that will keep you flipping those pages WAY past your bedtime!

Tate Becker is the new fire chief of Lakewood Station House 1. Taking over Chief Davis’s spot has him filling some pretty big shoes. It will be a challenge.

Then on an emergency call she risks her life to save one of their own. Things suddenly start to fit in to place. But when an arsonist starts setting fires, only one person is on the list to blame. Can Tate and the crew prove her innocence or will she go down in flames?
OMG! This book was freaking awesome. I was hooked from the very first chapter. This book is full of suspense, thrills, danger and love. This firefighter story is unlike any I have read before. Amber Thielman did an outstanding job writing this novel. Not only were the characters engaging, they were intriguing and lovable. Each character played a very important part in this story.
Overall this book was a steady paced read. Never rushing through, Amber Thielman takes her time telling the tale of forbidden love, blackmail and the fight to belong. You will be hooked from the beginning. You will not want to put it down. You will become invested and feel as if you are there with the characters. Feeling their pain. Their loss. An action packed thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat. I know I was biting my nails anxious in what was to come. So come on and join Tate and Hallie as they fight for their love and her freedom.

Hallie, through hard work and persistence, has managed to be the first female firefighter assigned to a city firehouse. Chief Davis and Becker are over the area she works at. Not everyone is happy she is there, especially some higher ups in the government. Breaking things off with her fiancé seems to trigger a rash of problems in her life. Now she is being framed for the arsons and more. Loved how her crew wanted to help clear her and fight for her, even though they were not all ready for a female on the squad. Hallie and Becker are having feelings for each other and when she is in trouble, he and Kyle go to extremes to find out the truth. This has many parts that are edge of the seat situations. Loved the ending and how it played out.

Another compelling page turner from Amber…
Strictly speaking this should be book #2 in the series as the events took place before #3. That said, they all read as stand alone novels so it’s not a problem. The hero is the heroine’s boss but there’s more than admiration & attraction brewing & they are both in toxic relationships. The heroine faces gender prejudice but she’s as good as the male firefighters who eventually accept her after some cruel & even dangerous hazing. The hero is an admirable leader but he’s falling hard & fast for the feisty female member of his team. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
The third book in the Heroes With Badges series a well written story that kept me turning pages.

This book is amazing! The story of Hallie and Becker is full of love, broken relationships, achieving your goals and a bit of intrigue. Hallie and Becker meet when she is sworn in as the only female firefighter at the station where Becker is the Captain. Both are in relationships at the time but can’t seem to get each other off their minds. No one in the station wants her there, except the Chief and Becker and it will be a rough time for Hallie. A broken rule at a fire will have her saving Kyle’s life and earning his gratitude. The guys at the station will treat her a bit better but trouble is on the horizon. She catches her fiance cheating, she gets attacked outside a bar and fires are being blamed on her. She will be arrested and it will take Becker and Kyle working together to figure out exactly what is going on. A confession by someone she least expects will leave her worried as she has no proof. Eventually, the proof will be found, the guilty parties will be held accountable and Hallie and Becker can move forward to their happily ever after.

This is a story about prejudice and judgement Hallie Harper has worked hard and finally achieved her goal of completing the academy and becoming a fully trained fire fighter and she has been stationed at Lakewood Station House 1 The only problem is that her fellow firefighters the mayor and even her own fiancé don’t want her there the only person who gives her any support is Fire Chief Tate Becker he loves the drive that she has for the job.

Can he find the real culprit Meanwhile Hallie has broken off her engagement and Tate realises that he needs to free himself from his girlfriend because he wants her as his. Can they prove her innocence and can they have a future together
Hallie put all her effort into becoming a firefighter and proudly joins the small town Lakewood Fire Department. Unfortunately, the only one who supports what she has done is her Captain, Tate Becker. Everyone else on the team, the Mayor, and her fiancé are all set against having a female firefighter, despite the intense vigorous training that she had to go through, exactly the same as they had. As she does the job, she begins to win some respect from some of the team. But when she is framed as an arsonist, if she cannot be quickly cleared of this accusation, she will endure more than just loss of her job! Will any of her team members try to help clear her? Can they find the real arsonist and whoever is accusing her?
This is an active story line. I focused on the big picture, but there is a love story also involved. Just for the record, this anti-women theme is for purposes of this fictional story and not the way it is in, I hope, “real” fire departments. (I am a member of our Fire Company and we have many female EMTs and firefighters.) Grab your copy and see how Hallie copes with fitting in and whether they can find out who is still acting against her.
I enjoyed this story so much because we have a woman firefighter and she is feisty. I was a little put off that almost everyone on the team was against her being there. Talk about misogynists! But I fell for Tate and their chemistry was fire in and of itself. There is suspense and danger and the tension had me burning up.
Loved this book! I actually read Saving Kyle first and I could not wait to read about Beckner. Loving this series!

Great story of instant attraction and the lengths someone will go for the person they love. When Hallie joins a small town Fire Station, she meets resistance from everyone except her Captain and his superior. She goes about trying to do her job and slowly wins over many of her teammates who originally fought to get her to quit. That support is just what she needs when she finds herself being framed by unknown forces for arson. Many twists, turns and surprising will kept me guessing until the very end.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.
Well there’s nothing like macho men hating on women for making and joining the fraternity of firefighters. Hallie passed all her tests with flying colors and the men and the Mayor didn’t like it. Neither did her fiance Jeremy. But when fires starting happening and she was blamed, things took a terrible twist. She felt alone and no one supporting her. There’s plenty of danger, fires, death and betrayals. But at least there was a HEA. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
If you enjoy books about firefighters, be sure to check out the twist on this one. It’s on my TBR list.

This is a stunning masterpiece! I was hooked from the first word. I absolutely loved it! I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
Well written story with nice story line and plot. Likeable and well described characters who develops well through the story. The story flows nicely of the pages with a nice pace.
The story has a lot of action in it but also heartbreak, passion, steamy scenes and unexpected twists. I like that the author has taken a different theme such as a female firefighter in a small town and what issues this brings up.
Worth the read, captivating and enjoyable story.
