I am normally pretty leery of books about fire fighters having run as a volunteer firefighter for several years plus taking a lot of advanced training and classes. But Ms. Andrews obviously did her research with this book about fire fighting and the mind set required of this job.
Logan and Bella have a past but only Logan remembers it. Bella was in an accident about a year after they broke up that left her seriously injured and suffering from amnesia. She has lost 7 years of her life that will not return according to her specialists. In those missing years, her romance and break up with Logan are included.
Bella happens to be in Brisbane where Logan is a firefighter. She is now a paralegal for her father's law firm and is there on business. One day while on her lunch break, she happens to sit across from the firehouse where Logan is stationed. He recognizes her but she has no clue who he is. But one thing about firefighters is that they are persistent. And thus the book begins.
I actually made myself slow down reading this book since I didn't want it to end. The descriptions of Australia in the book are fantastic. The characters are well developed and the pace of the story is steady. This is a book you will want to re-read a few times.

Logan Knight is the son and the grandson of firefighters and he and his cousins are all firefighters in Brisbane, Australia. On the day of his grandfather's funeral he sees a young woman sitting outside the fire-station, imagine his surprise when it turns out to be Arabella Tucker, the girl he loved nine years ago.
Arabella has no recollection of Logan, she was in an accident and has amnesia. She doesn't remember that they moved in together or that after a tragedy she sunk into a deep depression and left him. But she does find the mysterious stranger very attractive and soon they embark on a hot and steamy love affair. But Logan hasn't been completely honest about their past, and it's gonna come back to bite him!
Grrrrh, all I seem to be writing today is "I liked it, but I didn't love it". I've skirted around what happened in the past, although it is revealed fairly early in the novel, to avoid spoiling but really that is all that happens. And they have lots of sex. All their talking seems to happen off-stage as it were, I have no idea whether they see anything in each other except animal attraction because there doesn't seem to be much connection. I didn't really connect to either Arabella or Logan, I was more interested in whether Logan's cousin Duncan and Ruth, the female firefighter will get together.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Bella has amnesia, and not the soap opera kind. Logan loves the woman she was but can't remember, can he love the one she is now? Of course he can. And along the way, they have fantastic sex, deep conversations, and deal with the repercussions of her accident and their second chance reunion with a twist. Not my absolute favorite of the author's work (that's the Sydney Smoke series) but it's good.
