Brooke O'Brien has never has a place to call home before, but the grandmother she never knew left Brooke a house in her will. Brooke's current assignment as a temporary EMT in Santa Rey, California was chosen so she could go through her grandmother's possessions before putting the house on the market. Zach Thomas was born and raised to be a fire fighter in the small town of Santa Rey, California. When Zach and Brooke meet outside the firehouse, the attraction is instant and mutual, but everyone knows dating a co- worker only leads to trouble. But the biggest obstacle they face is Zach's history of only short-term dating and Brooke wants a real relationship. Working the same shift in such a tight knit group makes denying their feelings that much harder. Everything gets just a bit more difficult after Zach realizes he needs and values Brooke's opinion and after Brooke decides she might like having a home of her own. What will come first? The end of Brooke's assignment or Zach's desire to be in a real relationship? FLASHPOINT is a fun book to read and would make a great beach companion. The secondary group of characters are just as engaging as the main characters, giving the whole story more depth. The romantic relationship between Zach and Brooke, the hunt for the arsonist, and the camaraderie in the fire house are well thought out.

SUMMARY

Zach Thomas risks his life battling flames every day. But since sexy EMT Brooke O'Brian joined the crew, he can't resist playing with fire. Brooke is feisty, a little uptight…and sexy as hell. And as Zach soon discovers, she's definitely hot stuff between the sheets. Still, every firefighter knows that the hotter the blaze, the faster the action's over…. After the whirlwind ride Zach's been taking her on, Brooke is ready to do anything for this man-in and out of bed! But she knows footloose and fancy-free Zach doesn't do commitment. So she plans to build up a five-alarm fire between them. The kind he won't ever want to put out…
