Even though I was easily able to guess the plot twist, Out of The Frying Pan had endearing main characters, fun side characters and a sweet romance that carried you through the entire book.

Yes, I almost made it, but just couldn’t be bothered when the author threw a third out of nowhere rando POV in the mix (all three rando POVs? Have books upcoming in the series. Only reason they’re included.) The first 40% or so read pretty well, but then things got both over the top and stilted, somehow. Tempted to give it 1 star, but I'll leave it unrated. It seems to work for most people.

I'm checking out now. Firefighter Dean is convinced he can't ever have a relationship because being a firefighter comes with long hours and dangerous conditions. I cannot stand the whole martyr complex in characters. Oh, woe is me, I'm destined to be alone forever because my job is slightly inconvenient to a stress-free relationship! Boo. Hoo. His Commander is married. Many of his colleagues are married. Firefighters the world over have figured out how to have their careers and a family life. Cops, doctors, and military members too. Ffs, you could be a librarian and be killed by a runaway bus on your lunch break one day. Just admit you're scared of commitment and be done with it already. Sheesh.
And I don't even know what Oliver's story is. Busy restaurant owner, bad breakup, yadda yadda. Whatever. Nothing so far has given me anything to get invested in.
