News producer Melissa McGuire usually celebrates her
grandmother Nelly's birthday at the buffet at the Bombay
Deluxe so she's not sure why Nelly asked to meet at the San
Gabriel Hilton. Melissa is also wondering what special
event would attract so many women. Turns out it's a
bachelor auction. Nelly has a pocketbook full of cash and
is determined to buy a date for Melissa. Melissa, who can
find her own dates thank you, wants nothing to do with the
auction. Grandma is determined and bids on Ryan Blake, one
of the famous Bachelor Fireman of San Gabriel.
Ryan, uncomfortable dating a grandmother, convinces Fire
Captain Harry Brody to take his place. Harry, having
planned the perfect date for the geriatric set, arrives to
find Melissa waiting for him. It turns out she's the woman
he was instantly attracted to after a brief encounter at the
auction.
They have a wonderful time but Harry isn't looking for a
relationship and Melissa is looking for a poet or artist,
not a rugged fireman (however hot he might be). They are
convinced they are all wrong for each other. If only Nelly,
and fate, felt the same.
THE FIREMAN WHO LOVED ME is a sweet, emotional, and slightly
spicy story that will please fans of contemporary romance.
This debut novel is a promising start to a new series
featuring the Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel. The
firefighters are all sexy, honorable, and dedicated. Ms.
Bernard has crafted complex back-stories for each of the
characters that add depth to the plot. Melissa and Harry's
personal lives allow for subplots and secondary characters
that strengthen the emotional pull of the story. Melissa
and Harry make sense as a couple. I was drawn in by watching
their differences pull them apart and bring them together. I
look forward to reading more stories featuring the
Firefighters of San Gabriel.
Fearless, smoking hot, and single: meet the Bachelor Firemen
of San Gabriel. These firemen might be heroes, but it's
their bad luck in love that makes them legendary.
News producer Melissa McGuire and Fire Captain Harry Brody
couldn't be more different, though they do have one thing in
common: they're both convinced they're perfectly wrong for
each other. But when Melissa's matchmaking grandmother wins
her a date with Brody at a Bachelor auction . . .
Sparks fly. Passion flares. Heat rises. (You get the picture.)
Add a curse, a conniving nightly news anchor, a stunningly
handsome daredevil fireman, a brave little boy, a couple of
exes, and one giant fire to the mix, and Melissa and Brody's
love may not be the only thing that burns.
