Sally Thorne’s writing is not for me. This book has a few moments where it was funny but I mostly cringed and got the ick from the very rescue/savior man talking down to a scared toddler except she’s 25. The firefighters were lowkey sexist for a book published in 2024. Also new fear unlocked of being stuck in a tube or car trunk. And why did they have a woman narrate the whole thing, get a man next time for the male parts. That’s just my audiobook pet peeve. 

If you’re looking for cute firefighter romances, read Amy Lea’s Influencer series. Skip this one!
