PLAYING WITH FIRE is the next book in Hot in Chicago series about a family of foster firefighter siblings. I love this series! Alexandra Dempsey is the only female among these foster siblings as well as the sole female firefighter with Engine Company No. 6. Because she feels like she has to prove that she belongs with Engine No. 6, Alex finds herself front and center in the media's eyes because of some recent antics. Those antics bring her in direct contact with Chicago Mayor Eli Cooper. Alex and Eli are a combustible mix. They push each other's buttons, which brings out all the sexual tension between them. Alex and her brothers may not be blood relatives, but there is no mistaking the love and protection they have and show for each other. Alex is headstrong and sometimes allows her emotions to get the better of her. Eli goes to bat for Alex and saves her job even though she uses every opportunity to make him look bad in the media.

Now the situation has changed when Alex and her unit are called to a fire where she ends up rescuing Eli. During the process of saving Eli, Alex breaks procedure that puts her life at risk. So it looks like Eli ends up saving her. Eli sees an opportunity to boost his political ratings so he makes a deal with Alex. Eli has a secret from his past that he has never shared with anyone that is painful and could possibly derail his political career. Alex will eventually learn that Eli has not been totally honest with her. It's obvious that these two love PLAYING WITH FIRE because of all the sparks shooting off of them. They bring out the best in each other.

The Dempsey siblings have strong personalities that will keep you entertained and waiting to see what the next one will do. These are standalone novels but a great series to read.

SUMMARY

From popular romance author Kate Meader comes the second novel in Hot in Chicago, a brand-new, sizzling series that follows a group of firefighting foster siblings and their blazing hot love interests!

As the only female firefighter at Engine Co. 6, Alexandra Dempsey gets it from all sides: the male coworkers who think she can’t do the job, the wives and girlfriends who see her as a threat to their firefighter men, and her overprotective foster brothers who want to shelter their baby sister at all costs. So when she single-handedly saves the life of Eli Cooper, Chicago’s devastatingly handsome mayor, she assumes the respect she’s longed for will finally come her way. But it seems Mr. Mayor has other ideas…

Eli Cooper’s mayoral ratings are plummeting, his chances at reelection dead in the water. When a sexy, curvaceous firefighter gives him the kiss of life, she does more than bring him back to the land of the living—she also breathes vitality into his campaign. Riding the wave of their feel-good story might prop up Eli’s flagging political fortunes, but the sizzling attraction between them can go nowhere; he’s her boss, and there are rules that must be obeyed. But you know what they say about rules: they’re made to be broken…
