An enhanced firefighter prison breaks and kidnaps a doctor, trying to prove his innocence. Teague is complicated but is essentially a good man. Alyssa is a great FMC - tenacious, smart and kind, and I loved her fire. Their romance has sexual tension in spades, and the complications of the relationship are worked through realistically (in romancelandia terms 😂).
But Teague can really blow hot and cold, though he's very protective of Alyssa and cares a lot for her. And she's patient with him, but always calls him out on his bullshit. The chemistry is great, and there's a good journey of trust building. And she lets him know that he's worthy, and she's determined to protect him. There's plenty of action with a quick moving suspense plot. Teague's plans are a little too wild, almost wtf at times, but it makes for good entertainment.
