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.
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…
