I work alongside firemen every day, so I’m used to putting up with musclebound brutes, but I’ve never encountered one who can get under my skin—and set my heart racing—quite like Blaise.With a string of arsons plaguing the city and someone apparently trying to intimidate me into giving up the investigation, I guess it might not hurt to have a man like him watching my back…
Torched: A Rough Firefighter Romance
By piperstone
I would give this 3.5 stars. It was ok, but there was something off with this book. I don’t know if I overlooked important pieces of the mystery, or what. I kept trying to pull the pieces of the investigation together and it just wasn’t gelling for me.
Blaise and Genevieve’s relationship was steamy and intense, but the romance was not the primary focus of the book. I would have to give it more thought, but the beginning of the book and the way Genevieve was feeling did not connect with the end of the book to me.
I would recommend you read this book and judge for yourself. It was not a bad read, but there were parts that did not hold my interest.
Wonderful suspense romance!!!
This is a great story with wonderful down to earth characters. Genevieve is in Charlotte to start a new job as fire investigator and she ends up having a run in with Blaise at a local bar. They have an intense sexual encounter and then part ways. They end up being brought back together by a mutual friend, but still don’t exchange names. Then they find themselves thrown together through their jobs, because Blaise is a firefighter and of course Genevieve is now the city’s new fire investigator. There have been a lot of arsons recently and the fire department is under scrutiny and possible budget cuts. This is a wonderfully suspenseful, steamy read and I highly recommend it!
