General Description:
Rosie and her sister are spending Valentine's Day at a spa, celebrating her sister's job promotion. However, once Rosie and her sister get into the spa's latest flotation treatment machines, Rosie realizes she is stuck. The fire department has to be called, but the salon refuses to get Rosie out right away as the machine is still expensive. Luckily, a fire fighter is there to comfort Rosie. How much can their relationship develop in the time she's stuck in the device?

The goods:
- I absolutely love and relate to Rosie as a character
- The scenario this is set in made me a bit nervous but i was here for it
- This gave me 'love is blind' vibes, in more of a dangerous situation, and I loved it
- The sister was definitely looking out for Rosie even if Rosie couldn't see it at the time and I love a good sister relationship

The loss of a half star:
- Maybe I'm just not a novella reader, but I needed more. I don't know if any novella will be a 5 star for me as they keep seeming to leave me wanting more!

Overall, if you're looking for a romance with a wonky scenario, this should be your next read!
