This is my first read by Kacey Shea. I haven't read this type of book in a long while. This is definitely a long story that puts you through many different situations and emotions. I love how quarky Callie was. Oh gosh and when she mention period stained bunny panties, I lol'd! The story was surprisingly unexpected overall and I love when that happens from new to me authors! Kacey wrote something fresh.
Savannah does an amazing narration as always.

I was not expecting the twists and turns in this book. It certainly kept me on my toes. At first I thought this would be the typical woman falls for firefighter and they ride off into the sunset on a firetruck. I was so wrong.
Callie is set in her job, she works hard, has just bought a new home when she meets Chase, a sexy fireman. He is definitely not who he seemed to be and betrays Callie in the worst way. His family is something he never talked about with her, and kept things from her, important things, and because of that Callie finds herself in some situations that could have been avoided.
She meets a eccentric older woman Kiki whom she becomes great friends with. She helps Callie get through some rough times. Just when Callie has sworn off firemen she meets Ash, who works at the same house with Ash, is actually his boss. Ash and Callie become the best of friends and more. He is everything Chase wasn't and much more. He too helps her through some rough times, and helps her get over Chase.
I managed to read this in about a day, and couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the next book.

I made it 12 chapters, I just couldn't anymore with the main character. I get it she is 22 and immature but it just wasn't my thing. I really tried.

I don't know what I was expecting of this book but it definitely wasn't what I read and I mean this in the most wonderful way. I went through a lot of emotions with the story I laughed a lot, I shed a few tears, I was surprised with a few unexpected twists in the story, I got pissed off a few times and I swear if I read "You're the best, Callie" one more time there was a high probability that my kindle was going to fly out the window. Thankfully I didn't read it again so my kindle is safe and sound.
All in all I really enjoy the story... Now I would love to know if there will be something more between Jill & Cam?

When I read the blurb of Caught in the Flames I was expecting a super-hot firefighter romp and I got that, but I got so much more too. This was my first Kacey Shea book and I am so glad I took a chance on a new author. It was hot, hot, hot! I needed a fireman to come hose me off after this one. The added mystery/suspense aspect was an added bonus that kept me engaged and intrigued throughout the story. She definitely added her own spin to this trope.
I don’t want to go into too much detail because I don’t want to give anything away, but this book surprised me in the amount of feels that I went through. I was expecting an easy read that was going to require me to fan myself. And yes, at times I needed to fan myself. Shea is an expert at describing things. At times I could picture things so well in my mind I felt like I was right there watching them. But I also went through anger, frustration, heartache, humor, tears, etc.
I found myself rooting for Callie throughout this book. I wanted her to succeed—in her career, in love, in friendship. The side characters are all great too. They all add a little spice to the mix. I especially fell in love with Kiki. I want a Kiki novel, can we please get a Kiki novel?

I could not stop listening to this emotional, sweet and sexy romance. It captured me right from the exhilarating beginning, wondering what will happen to Callie. It then went back in time to help us understand how she ended up in that frightful predicament. Callie is a recent college graduate with a new job and a new home near a fire-station filled with hot, sexy firemen. Callie and her friends let loose and enjoy her new neighbors. But things are not always as they seem, and the secrets and plot twists had me questioning what would happen next. There are so many secondary characters who are quirky, supportive, and adversarial that add so much depth, intrigue and fun to this story. It is a long listen, and it did get a bit angsty at one point for me, but it quickly transformed into a beautiful story of life's ups and downs, true friendship, and recognizing true love. Callie's growth by the end of the book was fascinating, and touching. Savannah Peachwood absolutely nailed it as Callie. I love how she portrayed Callie's vulnerability, obsessive nature, pain, and growth into a confident woman, friend, and lover. Her voice changes were distinct and her intonations make you feel all the fun, passion, and intense emotions of this story. I was totally lost in her performance. This is my first listen to this author, and narrator, and I will definitely check out more of their work.
I have never in my life hated and a loved a book so much. I seriously thought I was going to DNF this book, because I hated the Callie so much. I’m so glad I stuck around
