A fireman romance with a tall MC? Yesssss.
It was a sweet story, albeit a bit silly in parts, like when Deja's house was burning and she was thinking about how hot the firefighter who came to save her son was, like, PRIORITIES??? There were a few moments like that which brought my rating down a little.
Also, the writing didn't quite work for me as well here as it did in some of Denise Essex's other books, not sure why. It felt a bit clunky and kept me from fully getting into the story.
But I did like it overall, especially Marshawn, he was so easy to picture and I loved how he knew exactly what he wanted and went after it with his whole heart.
