Charlie
I don’t believe in fairytales. I sure as hll don’t have time for them. I also don’t have time for Jesse Franklin—hotshot firefighter, too handsome for his own good, and cocky to boot.
He’s also rude. Whatever. As I said, I don’t have time. My life is complicated and messy. There is zero room for anything, most certainly not Jesse who I can’t seem to kick out of my mind.
Then, he goes and does something I never expected. Ever. My life suddenly gets more complicated, and this time it’s all about a fairytale.
This is a full-length standalone romance with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

She has a lot on her plate, dealing with the recent deaths of her father and sister, adopting her sister’s teenage daughter, her mother has dementia and she is working full time. Charlie doesn’t feel like she has any room in her life for anything else but sweet, sexy firefighter, Jesse, may just have her rethinking that.

He isn’t looking for love or any kind of commitment but when he meets the new doctor in town, he can’t ignore the attraction he feels toward her. When he finally sees the doctor let her hair down, literally and figuratively, he sees another side to her that makes her all the more enticing. Jesse knows she has a lot of baggage but is determined to make her see that he is more than willing to help carry the load.
Will Jesse be able to prove to Charlie that she does have room in her life for love?
This story had it all – sweet, heartwarming moments and swoony, hot and sexy times between Jesse and Charlie. I loved the relationship that builds between these two as well as the bond Jesse forms with Charlie’s mother and niece. I loved how this book is set in a small town in Alaska and all the small town feels of the community. This is not the first book in this series, but can be read as a standalone. This is my first read by this author and I really enjoyed her writing style and will definitely check out her books in the future.
