Katie Dane wants nothing more than to get back to grad
school and continue her studies in French literature.
Instead, she is stuck managing the Hair of the Dog with
little success. Her dad is taking time off from the bar
after having a heart attack and her mom is going to make
sure he stays stress free by whisking him off on vacation.
The longer Katie is at the bar the more she realizes the
financial trouble it is in and the responsibility weighs
heavy, especially since she has no clue what she's doing and
no one else in the family is pitching in. Help comes
unexpectedly in the form of a handsome customer who comes to
her rescue as bouncer, bartender, and friend (with
benefits?!?!?).
Ryan Blake, on leave from San Gabriel Fire Station 1,
wanders into the rundown bar looking for a drink. He's
immediately attracted to the beautiful though surly
bartender/owner. With time on his hands while he tries to
earn his way back into the Fire Station, he is happy to help
Katie anyway he can. He's also hoping for a chance to see
what's beneath that prickly exterior. Ryan's hot for a woman
who doesn't seem to want anything to do with him, is there
anything he can do to change that?
As with the first book in the Bachelor Firemen series, HOT
FOR FIREMAN is populated with colorful characters,
complicated family dynamics, and hot hunky firemen. I liked
Ryan in the first book and really enjoyed getting to learn
more about him. Who doesn't love a sexy fireman with a soft
spot for women in trouble and children, a tendency to be in
the right place at the right time, and the will to come to
terms with his own struggles? Katie has a fiery personality
that plays off Ryan and her family effectively. I struggled
somewhat with the plot in that Katie did some things I
thought didn't make much sense. I'm sure that some of the
actions were supposed to stem from desperation and
inexperience but the sense of urgency wasn't well
established and just left me scratching my head. I enjoyed
a few laugh-out-loud moments and a bachelorette party to
rival all bachelorette parties.
Katie Dane knows better than to mix business and pleasure,
but her new bartender, Ryan Blake, is simply irresistible .
. . and besides, she doesn't plan on working there much
longer. That's if things go according to plan. But they
never do, do they?
Ryan, the sexy heartbreaker of Station One, is determined to
rejoin the force. Tending bar in the meantime seems like the
perfect idea, especially when it means he can spend his
nights working next to his sultry new boss . . . if only the
bar didn't keep catching fire.
Throw in a grizzled career criminal, a luscious-bodied
barfly, a Bachelor Fireman bachelorette party, a flash-fire
romance, and a million-dollar money pot, and suddenly
playing with fire never seemed so much like falling in love.
