*ARC from NetGalley in exchange for honest review*
I didn't love this. I think I would have liked it better if it was one continuous story. I liked them, they were a nice frivolous read. But the instalove in these were a bit much to get over. In the second and third one, the characters knew each other like 12 seconds and decided they love each other. The third one they were together for a couple months, but that character and relationship development was cut out.

poisonivy70's review against another edition

Anthology set in a small town’s volunteer firemen.
The Good, the Bad and Everything In Between
-Anthology: there are three interconnected stories (Fiery, Flare, Flash), which helped to keep things moving along. Of the three, I would say the most excitement found was in Paige and Cort’s story (Flare).
-Sex o’ plenty: There’s plenty of sex scenes, even some A-play (and not just with the m/m romance).
-Reading earlier books might have been helpful: when Fiery starts, there are alot of characters thrown into the mix and I quickly realized that I was missing some familiarity with them. This could still work as a standalone, but it was a bit disorienting at first.
-Lack of tension: There was plenty of sex, but I lacked that sense of connection between the characters, and any urgency. In each of them, I genuinely felt as if I was following random people who liked each other and were attracted to each other sexually. And that’s it.
Sex is sex, but passion is what really fuels a romance for me. That feeling of “if I don’t have you I’ll die,” that intensity, is an integral part of any story for me. Here, it was pleasant, and yes, even sexy at times, but I didn’t think any of these characters were yearning for each other.
The Bottom Line
If you’ve read the previous books in this series, this may work for you more than it did for me. For a book on firemen, it was lacking a bit of heat.
