Great Plot But The Characters Make This a Five-Star Romance
~ Review by Norma D
This is the third book I’ve read by the same author and all of them share some of the same traits: they are incredibly absorbing, fast-paced and filled with real characters who it is easy to sympathize with and root for. They are classic romances but, in some ways, also feel like you’re reading a mystery or thriller because the plots are so filled with twists and turns and surprises that I found myself unable to wait to see what would happen next.
The story begins with a wedding, always a romantic start, and then gets really interesting from there. Again, the characters are the things that set this book apart. They are well written and fully formed, real people with both good and bad traits. They are, just like real people, complicated and that is what makes them so engaging. I should also say that the women the author features in her books are different from so many in traditional romance novels. They are not passive and do not wait for things to happen to them. They have brains and wills and aren't just pretty adornments.
For anyone who loves romance novels but also loves heroines that are modern and relatable, I highly recommend this book…and the entire series.

Excerpt:
The glistening body kept coming closer and closer. Ana laughed and turned to the side. There was no way she was touching that oil drenched body.
He was shirtless and wearing a fireman’s uniform, minus the shirt which he had just discarded. His pants were being held up by suspenders. His head was covered by a yellow hard hat and he had an axe over his shoulder.
She laughed and looked over at Kelly beside her who had a policeman dancing for her. He too was shirtless and on the waistband of his pants were a pair of handcuffs, and his head was covered with a cop hat.
The cop grinned and hooked his thumb through the cuffs and the room shrieked. Way to go Stefano, Ana thought.
She looked back at her fireman who had now gotten rid of the axe which Ana was glad to see had just been a prop. He twisted his body like a pretzel and glided towards her.
Stefano came into her line of vision and started snapping, snapping and snapping more pictures. She tried to hide her face, but when she realized there was no choice really, she made a face at him then turned back to her glistening fireman.
At least she had forbidden Hope to take pictures. All the girls knew that pictures wouldn’t go down well with the guys, so had all nixed the idea. However, it looked like Stefano was taking matters into his own hands.
Ana watched her fireman as he pulled his pants off and the women in the room went crazy. It was deafening.
Whoever made that bikini thong needs to be put in jail. Ana’s glanced in shock, then immediately looked towards Kelly who was laughing at her. She heard laughter from Jes and Evelyn who were both to the right of Kelly.
The doctor in front of Jes had lost not only his white coat, but his shirt scrubs and now just wore his pants and a stethoscope around his neck.
In his hand he was holding a large gizmo that looked like the one doctors used when you went for a pap smear. Ana shivered just thinking about how cold that apparatus was.
Her fireman reached over and pulled her from her chair. The women shrieked and encouraged him.
Ana tried to distance herself away but he placed her over his shoulder and continued dancing while she hung there suspended over his shoulder. This couldn’t be happening. She didn’t know where to touch. His back, his thong or his butt cheeks.
