Alyssa hates Clearwater, the little town that she and her twin sister grew up. She has horrible memories there but had to fly down to settle her mother's affairs since her passing. The first night there, rather than stay in a hotel, she decides to spend the night at her mother's house.
She wakes up to flames.
Thankfully, she's rescued by the local fire department. When she goes in to thank them, she sees a face she didn't think she wanted to see ever again: Jake. He was a bit of a bully in school to her, but she couldn't help having a crush on him all the same. Neither of them are happy to see the other.
In the meantime, she befriends Jake's two best friends, and they get to know each other better. Things progress with them while Jake denies any feelings he has for her.
Something happens around 3/4 the way in the book, and it's a bit emotional to read. Things take on a new light. You see things in a way that you didn't see before. It makes you wish Jake and Alyssa had communicated better when they were younger. In the end, though, things worked out better because now she has a relationship with multiple men who she grows to care deeply for.
The writing was excellent, each character had their own unique personality, and there are twists in the book you don't see coming. I'd read it again!

Shared By The Firemen by Cassie Cole @cassiecoleromance. First off, I am a fan of Cassie’s & this book was no different! Cassie is one of those authors I know I will love anything she writes. 🤩
Man, that childhood enemy to lovers as adults was hot with Jack & Alyssa. 🥵 Mateo, Liam, Jack & Alyssa were smoking! See what I did there? 😂 I loved this book! No 3rd act break up!
I received this #ARCBook early and for my honest review.
