When Ethan Blaise became Fire Chief at Station Seven, he set aside any ideas of having a relationship outside of work, let alone marrying and starting a family. He had one at the station house. While attending the wedding of one of his own firefighters, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the woman catering the event. Warm and giving, she calls to a part of his soul that has been dormant for … for too long.
Making and keeping a date isn’t easy when you’re on call at all hours of the day for emergencies, but he’s determined to try because she’s everything he’s ever wanted and never knew to ask for. Falling for her is only too easy, having a relationship? Well, that’s hard.
Viviana Martenz has shouldered burdens alone for so many years. Raising her daughter on her own and struggling to make ends meet, she’s never stopped giving to others in honor of those who have helped her along the way. Becoming a caterer was an accomplishment supported by so many friends along the way and she’s determined to make it work. There’s no time or need for anything else, until she meets Ethan. In one amazing man, she finds a silver fox with a heart of gold.
Even with their crazy schedules keeping them apart, they find whatever time they can to see each other, building on the connection they feel.
When a part of Viviana’s past pushes back into her life, will Ethan be the rock she can lean on? Can Ethan get past her determination to conquer obstacles alone?
Don’t bet on the Chief of Station Seven to remain a bachelor for long. Not when his heart and soul have given Shelter for Viviana.

This is the second book I’ve read by Reina Torres & I really enjoyed it. The characters were wonderful yet realistic. Reina yet again did a good job of staying true to Susan Stoker’s characters. I enjoyed watching the relationship between Chief Blaise & Viviana bloom. I felt this book was more romance than suspense, but still enjoyed it.
Sometimes accepting help is a sign of courage
I connected so much with this book. The author was her normal fantastic self and took us on a journey that was so close to real life it was hard to believe it wasn’t. I felt like I was reading a book about myself, well plus one kid and minus finding a man as I am still working on that. But you could really feel the emotions of the struggle to make it, the need to connect, and the HEA when it finally comes. i was really blown away by this latest offering by the author and can’t wait for the next one.
Ethan is the Chief at Fire Station 7 and Viviana is a caterer. While Ethan’s at Sledge and Beth’s wedding he sees Viviana who is catering the wedding and falls for her. Loved the instant attraction he felt for Viviana and how Viviana’s daughter Aylin played matchmaker This is a beautiful love story filled with romance, steam, drama, suspense, humor and a great ending.
If you’ve been reading this series you’ve already seen the rest of Station 7 get their HEA and now it’s Ethan’s turn, the Chief. Ethan first see’s Viviana at Sledge and Beth’s wedding. You see lots of firefighters, a teenage daughter playing matchmaker, a crazy ex and this book is full of romance, action and laughter. It’s a wonderful wild ride of a story and a total winner you will NOT want to miss!!!
An instant attraction romance between a hot, older firefighter and a single mother with a high school senior daughter. An ex-husband brings the drama and action to the story as he wants to keep his past life hidden. I enjoyed the story, the plot, and the characters.
this is a wonderful, emotional book filled with great family inspired scenes, as well as ones at the fire house. it also has plenty of steam and action that will keep you on your toes.

I was sent an arc of the book for honest review
What a ride. Story of second chance at love with its ups and downs. I could feel the Chemistry between the characters. I cried and laugh at times throughout this book. I hated to see it end because I felt like I was in story like a friend who was allowed to join the dinner party. Such a wonderful book. Great job Reina Torres
What an exciting read! I’ve smiled, cried and read on as it has adventure on every page. There’s firemen, food, romance and deep caring for those we love. Also, in this story is the reminder that happiness can be found at any age; work ethics are still in our daily lives; and, family is precious. I loved Ethan; I admired Viviana; and, I appreciated all that Aylin was becoming as a young woman. This book held so much value as the story unfolded and I can’t come close to telling the author what this story-line meant to me. It spoke volumes in heartfelt meaning. Thanks to Ms. Torres for sending me an ARC so I could love this book as much as she enjoyed writing it.
Emotional love story that keeps your heart racing with joy as Viviana’s daughter tries to play cupid for her mom and Chief and fear

A must have for your library! I can not wait to read more by this author. I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance copy of the book from the author.
As the Chief at Station 7, Ethan Blase’s family is his crew, and he never had time for love. Meeting Viviana and her daughter, Aylin, changes everything…
I really enjoyed this book and was happy to hear from the guys at Station 7 again. This was a wonderful, surprise read and I can’t wait for Aylin and Rook’s, story. I hope that the other firefighters at Station 7 that work different shifts from Penelope’s crew also get stories, but hey that’s just a thought…..
Thanks for sharing and blessing us with your talents.

So happy that chief Blaise got his story and HEA. he is an amazing guy and leader and always taking care of others. And the same goes for viviana. She has taken care of her daughter alone and built an amazing catering business on her hard work and amazing food. They were adorable together. And loved how Aylin helped it along. She was perfect little heart string pull that the story needed. And she was the daughter he didn’t know he wanted or needed. Loved the story. Can’t wait for more.
Ethan Blaise and Viviana Martenz are absolutely perfect together. I loved her sassiness and flirty, playful manner. Seeing him struggle with navigating the dating scene was quite charming. They’re no youngsters but that doesn’t mean they don’t light up the pages. Add in Viv’s daughter, Aylin, who’s quite a firecracker, the jerk ex-husband, a political campaign, a life threatening event, the crew from SAFD Station 7 and you’ve got an amazing book.
This has to be one of my new favorite books ever!
They are so perfect for each other and it is amazing!
I love how there isn’t a ton of angst and craziness, sometimes you just need a “relatively” easy HEA. LOL
This is a great second chance at love story and I can’t wait to read more from Reina!

Ahhh! What a sweet, sexy, and overall feel good story. Ethan Blaise and Viviana were adorable and yet sexy together. Great combination. Add in Aylin, Viviana’s teenage daughter and the light hearted and touching moments come into play between her and her mom and her and Ethan. Aylin’s relationship with both of them was so sweet to read. And there was a touch of suspense which kept me riveted and dying to know the outcome. Could not put it down.
