Mini Audiobook Review: Thank you so much to Harlequin for the gifted copy of the book! 
 
I had not realized that this was a sequel when I received this book and I took a chance that this could be read as a stand alone and good news it could! 
 
 I thought this was a cute book and let me tell you I don’t know why but I was not expecting it to be as spicy as it was! And I felt like it happened fairly quickly which made it feel relatable as oppose to other romances where there are dates and build up for it to happen. In this one it just seemed like they were working closely one day and bam suddenly they were flirty and touching. 
 
I will say I thought it was fresh to see the female character be a firefighter and not only that but deal with the very real issue of burn out. I cannot imagine someone in that field and in this case Thea was one for 10 years, the stress and the fatigue of the job. It would take its toll on anyone. I was happy that the firehouse was able to find her a new position that should be less stress.  
 
I primarily read this via audio. It was just over 7 hours which made it such a quick listen. Moniqua Plante did the narration and I thought she was perfectly fine.  
 
I just didn’t feel super connected to the characters as much as I thought I would which is such a bummer!
