***Twins for the Mountain Firefighter: A Redemption Romance (The Mountain Firefighter Series Book 2)by by Melinda Curtis
5 stars
I purchased a copy of the clean novel A Son for the Mountain Firefighter: A Redemption Romance (The Mountain Firefighter Series Book 2): Logan and Thea by Melinda Curtis and this review was given freely.
Initially sad and heartbreaking this ultimately heartwarming story is the struggle to find love,family, and healing after bad childhoods, after depression, and despite dementia.
Irritable and grief stricken after the loss of his twin sister Deb to cancer and his nieces to their unreliable father, confirmed bachelor, assistant superintendent of the Silver Bend, Idaho’s Hot Shots, Logan “Tin Man” McCall returns home not only to find his nieces Tess and Hannah but also their nanny Thea and a dog.
Logan McCall was devastated by the death of his twin. He felt inadequate and empty. He can’t bring up his late sister’s daughters when he feels like this. He has a hole where his heart should be so he let the girls go live with their father. Thea Gayle was hired as their nanny, but their uncaring father left them broke and homeless. They have no where to go. Thea takes the twins to their Uncle in Silver Bend. Will he be their savior? Logan is a broken man. He’s withdrawn and bitter. He’s afraid to let light and love in his life. I felt sorry for him. He may be a brave Hot Shot Firefighter but he’s unable to let himself feel emotions. Any attempt to reach him is futile. It made me sad. Thea is a lovely caring woman. She protects the girls and tries to make them feel safe and loved. She tries to help them. It’s a hard job when Logan fights her every suggestions. She’s a brave woman who has been deeply hurt. I couldn’t stop reading this book. It’s such an emotional journey. I wanted the twins safe and happy, but I wasn’t sure it would happen. Melinda Curtis touched my heart with this story of redemption. I cared for Logan, Thea and the girls. This story was beautiful written. I’m enjoying this series and can’t wait for the next Hot Shots to find his future.
This is book #2 in the Mountain Firefighter series. This is Logan and Thea’s story. Both characters have issues with family and their past. Thea shows up with Logan’s sister’s twins on his doorstep, and no where to go. Logan is dealing with depression,anger, and regrets. I loved this story from the start. Great read. I look forward to the next installment in the series.
Twins for the Mountain Firefighter is a nice addition to the Mountain Firefighter series. It can also be read as a stand alone novel.
I appreciated that the author clearly showed the emotional issues that the twins were going through, along with the sadness that Logan was dealing with. It was hard to watch as Logan doubted his ability to be a parent to the girls because of his own father’s horrible actions, however it did make Logan’s growth throughout the book even sweeter.
Thea was a fun character who worked hard to try to be there for Logan, his aunt, and the girls, while also providing help and a healthy emotional response to this family.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
A Charming Romance.
A young woman mends the hearts of a broken family. When her employer has been missing for weeks, nanny Thea finds herself and her twin charges evicted with nowhere to go, except for an uncle that the twins haven’t heard from since their mother’s death. Thea finds an introverted, grief stricken man in a dark cheerless home but her bright optimistic outlook on life, slowly draws everyone out. Sweet and clean.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book gifted by the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thea Gayle sat outside the apartment she and her twin charges, twins Hannah and Tess, were just evicted from. She is the girls’ nanny hired by a very A.W.O.L. deadbeat dad. She is broke! The deadbeat dad hasn’t paid her and she doesn’t know what she is going to do. She did know that she was going to take care of Hannah and Tess as she has come to care for them. When they mention they lived with their Uncle Logan in Silver Bend, Idaho when their mother was alive Thea knew she had to take them back there. Little did she know that Unle Logan was the man she would fall for.
Logan McCall was very surprised to see his nieces at his home when he returned with his fellow Hot Shots from fighting a wildfire. He knew he should never have let their father who abandoned them and his dying wife take them away but he had been so torn up with grief that he wasn’t thinking straight. His sister Deb named him as the girls’ guardian. He was really surprised to meet their nanny. Little does he know at their meeting his life is about to change in a big way.
Twins for the Mountain Firefighter by Melinda Curtis is the second book in her Mountain Firefighters series. I was unfamiliar with the concept of Hot Shots until I started reading this series. I have really enjoyed learning about them. Ms. Curtis has written an emotional story that tugs at the heartstrings. I like how she depicts the lives with ups and downs of her characters especially Thea and Logan. This was a very enjoyable read and I look forward to the next book in the series.
I read the first book in this series and really enjoyed it. Because of that, I knew who Logan was (a fellow Hot Shot crew member) and that his sister was dying of cancer. I also knew that the sister had twin girls and were worried about what would happen to them when their mom died. This second book picks up the story with Logan’s sister having died and Logan having gone into a tailspin emotionally. The twins have been sent to their deadbeat father because of that and they are being looked after by a nanny, Thea, who is wonderful but their deadbeat father is nowhere to be found and Thea doesn’t know what to do so she heads to Idaho to look up Logan because she’s broke and needs to hand off the twins! I loved Thea’s character. She was the glue that held this little family together, no matter what they threw at her! She stayed when so many would have left! They were pretty mean to her but her optimism and cheerfulness and love just kept on coming! I also loved Aunt Glen’s character! This is a “feel good” book and shows you how much one person can make a huge difference. I loved it!!!
I am truly loving this series so far. I just can with this book though. The author takes two broken people who both feel very unlovable for very different reasons and sends you on a journey to find there happy ever after. This book had my emotions all over the place the author has you laughing and crying and literally you don’t want to put the book down because you want to know what’s going to happen next. I loved the twin they were feisty and they were your typical sisters they fought with each other but at the end of the day they had each others back. I really loved this book, I loved that the author kept it clean and its suitable for all. This book was quick read and you won’t regret grabbing it so worth the read. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.”
“Twins for the Mountain Firefighter” (The Mountain Firefighter Series Book 2) by Melinda Curtis is a terrific read. I loved Logan and Thea’s story. This book hooked me from the start and I couldn’t put it down. This story is the first I’ve read in this series, and I will definitely be going back to read “A Son for the Mountain Firefighter” (The Mountain Firefighter Series Book 1). This story is full of hot firefighters, romance, entertaining characters, close friends, family, overcoming loss, new beginnings, and more. This story had me laughing at times and crying as well. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series with this interesting cast of characters. I highly recommend to all fans of romance, firefighters, family, and series.
