No take-backs.
That was the motto that Drew lived by in all things, including his love life.
He’s a player, pure and simple.
He’s learned the hard way that women aren’t all hearts and flowers. Sometimes their sexy bodies and beautiful faces are just a pretty shield to hide the crazy, and he’s so freakin’ over crazy.
Been there, done that. He has the divorce papers to prove it.
Karma hits like a bitch.
Aspen needs a break. A long one that doesn’t include anything with a Y chromosome.
Not even one as tempting as her new neighbor who just moved in across the street. Men are trouble with a capital freakin’ T, and she has the ankle monitor to prove it.
The last man she gave her heart to was a police officer. A man whose life was dedicated to protection, and he was supposed to protect her heart—not break it.
She decides right then and there that she’s done with being the better person.
Everything happens for a reason.
A rash decision—undoubtedly regrettable, undeniably unforgettable. In the heat of the moment, Aspen’s actions with a tire iron and her ex-boyfriend’s brand new SUV land him in the ER getting stitches and have her seeing the inside of a jail cell for the first time.
It’s just her luck that the whole town is there to witness the result of her poor decision, including her police officer brother and the neighbor that already made it more than clear she was more trouble than she was worth.
House arrest never looked so good.
Hide your crazy.
Drew enjoyed the show, though. For the first time in a year, he’s thinking about his life, and how it would be a lot more enjoyable with a woman like Aspen at his side.
Maybe crazy isn’t so bad after all.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Lani Lynn Vale is completely blowing us away with this series. It really couldn’t be any better.

Aspen has been seriously burnt by her boyfriend/fiancé, and being the awesome badass that she is, she gave him a little taste of his medicine and now has the electronic bracelet to prove it.

Drew just moved in next to Aspen, and having dealt with more than his share of crazy from an ex-wife and a rebellious teenage daughter, one would think that he would try to stay away from Aspens’ special brand of crazy or at least trying to resist his attraction to her, but no, from the very first moment he meets her, he acknowledges she’s special, and that given the chance she will become his world. Now, he just had to convince her of that…

Drew and Aspen together were simply superb! I could have loved this couple more than I did, and they’re one of my favorite of Lani’s pairings.

Drew is every bit of the stereotype of the image of hot firefighter. Tall, packed (wink, wink…) and über sexy made for one very difficult to resist package to resist. He knows what he wants, and there’s nothing sexier than a man fighting for what he believes it’s his future.

I was forty-two years old, and never once in my life had I had a woman affect me like this woman did.

Aspen tried to resist Drew, understandably, after the disaster with her cheating cop of ex-boyfriend, but all her sassiness and kickass attitude could keep him away. And with that sizzling chemistry between them, and his sweetness and devotion to her, who could resist?!  

“Every day I wake up beside you, I know that it’ll be a good day. I know, that as long as I have you, I’ll have something to look forward to. I want you to know that I adore you, Aspen Ridley. You’re so fucking beautiful, sometimes my heart aches to look at you. Today, when I told my fellow brothers that you were mine, I felt this huge weight lift off my chest.”

Drew was absolutely extraordinary! Sure, he came with a crazy ex-wife and a troubled teenager, translating in a bit of OW drama, but that was completely overshadowed with his amazing attitude and devotion to Aspen. Never once did I doubt how dedicated he was to her, and how much she meant to him, and he gives us snippets of it, over and over again.

She just fit me so perfectly, her walls wrapping me up snugly and sucking my entire length in. It was like two puzzle pieces snapping together.

Especially with the woman of my dreams in my lap helping me keep warm.

Isn’t he swoon-worthy?! This never-ending sweet and hotness combo in all his Alpha ‘badassness’ made him one of my all time favorite LLV’s Hs, and an immediate entry to my top of ‘best book boyfriends’! He was just that amazing! Sigh…

As per Lani’s style, this book is packed with all the delicious elements that get you hooked from the very first page. From emotional to funny as hell (OMG, that build-yourself dildo scene was!!! LMAO!!!) , thrilling to tender and caring, sweet to ultra sexy moments, we really had everything in this delicious reading journey. In my view this one, had a bit of less emotional load than the others of the series, and more hilarious and naughty moments, which worked just as perfectly and the previous ones, like a bit of a breather in this outstanding series.

Of course we got a look into the other Kilgore Fire Department men – and women-, some that we’ve known from the previous installments, and some new, who made for some enticing secondary characters. Specially in the rolling in the floor laughing department. They are a fantastic group together! I seriously can’t wait for next book, with PD’s story, Controlled Burn. October can’t come soon enough! <3

“I love you because you make me feel happy. Because you make me sleep well at night. Because you make me laugh. Because, when I wake up beside you, you make my heart race. Things like that.”
