Hot to the Touch by Jaci Burton

2.0

A lot of superfluous writing in this book. There was significant time spent describing the meals the characters prepared, and a whole two chapters about Jackson's parents deciding to sell their house and find their dream home, which was barely leveraged into something relating to the MCs (i.e. Jackson asking Becks if she has a dream home in mind). There was also a couple fairly long sequences where Jackson and the other firefighters were responding to an emergency call and—while heroic—neither scene had anything to do with the regular plot. Jackson didn't, for example, help the passengers in a car wreck and have it make him think of his original parents. Besides Becks' insecurity and Jackson's emotional distance, there was pretty much no other tension in the story.
