I received this book for an honest review.
This series gets better and better. I enjoyed seeing Metclaf and Marissa’s story. This is a great love story of two people who came together, drifted apart, only to find their way back to one another.
Metcalf went through a dark patch in his life as he watched a man burn alive. Then his wife left him and moved away taking their son with him. He has his life back together with his ex-wife drops their son at his doorstep and arsons are starting back up again. Metcalf now finds himself paired with Marissa to find out who is responsible for the arsons.
Marissa is a little leery of starting things with Metcalf. For starters they are now working together as a team on an assignment and two he left her once for his ex-wife. Will dealing with everything Metcalf has going on in his life and dealing with work be too much for Marissa? Will she stick it out or turn the other way?
I enjoyed the passion between these two and the love both of them had for Ashton. Being able to catch up with the other firefighters was a bonus. Marissa’s brother, Isandro, will learn to knock before entering his sister’s house from now on or he may get more than he bargained for…LOL. I loved Bulldogs overprotectiveness when it comes to Marissa but loved hi protectiveness over his best friend more.
I enjoy Brandy’s contemporary romance books just as much as her paranormal books. She never lets me down her females are never weak and her males are alpha without being over the top. I am already ready for the next hot firefighter.
Favorite lines:
“Hey, like I said, don’t chew him up and spit him out and I’m fine with it.”
“Whatever, go back to your woman, Bulldog.”

“What do I win?” she whispered.
“What do you want?” he murmured.
“A do-over.”

“What do you want?”
He trailed his fingers along her tight abs. “This. You and me. Want to see what’s between us.”
