Shannon Stacey is one of my favorite authors for a lot of
reasons. I love her characters, I love reading about a
world I know nothing of in the firefighting books, and I
love her Twitter feed. All these things combine to make
her one of my go-to authors, and FULLY IGNITED did not
disappoint.
Scott Kincaid and the rest of his firehouse are preparing
for a new, temporary, leader while their commander is on
leave. What they were not anticipating is that the
temporary boss would be a lady named Jamie. Jamie, for
her part, did not anticipate falling for one of her
employees! They keep it secret for a while, as they have
to, but it obviously comes out in the open at some point
and the journey between those two points is fantastic.
Particularly entertaining is the fact that Scott is ready
for a wife. He has picked his requirements, made a list,
and started the process of mentally settling down. A bit
like a contestant on a dating reality show, he is not
there to make friends. He is there to get married. Jamie
is about four thousand miles away from that list of
requirements, and watching him wrestle with that is
amazing. We so often get stories where the ladies are the
ones with the list, and I really enjoyed the gender flip.
Plus, it's Shannon Stacey, so the sex is fantastically
described and the tribe surrounding the characters is
believable and warm.
FULLY IGNITED is great read for fans of blue-collar
contemporaries
with
great chemistry and delightful characters.
When Jamie Rutherford takes a temporary assignment as
lieutenant of Boston Fire's Engine 59, she doesn't
anticipate any problems. She's been in the fire service for
a long time and, even though she's fairly new to Boston,
she
knows how to make any firehouse her home. What she's not
prepared for is her reaction to firefighter Scott Kincaid.
Scott is looking for a wife. It's been a fun ride as a
single guy, but he's tired of being the third wheel, and
nearly losing his brother-in-law finally made him realize
just how much he wants a family of his own. When the new
guy
at the firehouse turns out to be a capable, confident and
very attractive woman, his plan is completely derailed.
Hooking up with a fellow firefighter has never been part of
Jamie's plan, but she's tempted by Scott—even though
getting
involved with him could tarnish the reputation she's worked
so hard for. And Scott can't stop thinking about Jamie,
despite the fact that she's his superior and not sticking
around. Chemistry can crush the best-laid plans, though,
and
while Jamie and Scott might not be each other's
future…there's no resisting the right now.
