GENRE: Contemporary Romance

BLURB:

Nugget, California, is remote, picturesque—and the perfect place to fall in love. Even when you’re trying desperately not to… Dana Calloway is tired of being second choice. No question she was her parents’ consolation prize, and now she’s placed second in the race for a guy’s heart—a guy she could have sworn was The One. Is it any wonder such a normally type A person accidentally burns down her house in one distracted moment? 

Cal Fire arson investigator Aidan McBride came to Nugget to do a little soul searching about his commitment phobia. But there’s only one available apartment in this tiny town, and the headstrong woman who just had a house fire needs it too. Of course, there are worse things than sharing living quarters with someone so beautiful… 

Dana’s determined to resist her sexy new roommate, but it isn’t long before Aidan realizes he doesn’t have a commitment problem when she’s around. And the hotter things get in their apartment, the brighter the blaze when someone finally ignites that first spark…

My Review:

I loved this book, is very romantic with a veil of mystery.

After a fire Dana has lost her home. The only place where she can go live is the apartment of Aidan, a firefighter who recently moved to Nugget. The chemistry between them is very strong....

Dana is tired of being always the second choice, both for her family and for her ex-boyfriends. She wants someone to love and who will make her feel really important. Maybe generous and charming Aidan may be the perfect one for her.

The characters are many and all likeable. I love Nugget, this warm Californian city where everyone knows everyone else and are willing to help each other even if some people are a bit pushy

It 's the seventh book in the series and can be read as a stand alone. This was my first book to read in this series and I know I will be going back to catch up and read the rest.

It's a truly enjoyable and engaging reading, really hard to put it down

EXCERPT:

Aidan hadn’t even officially started at Cal Fire when he’d gotten called out on the boomer. That’s what they called a good working structure fire. He’d just completed his six-week training at the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s academy in Ione, a Gold Country town only slightly larger than his new home, Nugget. Although a seasoned firefighter and arson investigator back in Chicago, he didn’t have experience fighting forest and wildland fires.

That was all about to change.

With California in its fourth year of record drought, wildfires burned at breakneck speed across the state. And Cal Fire was responsible for protecting thirty-six of California’s fifty-eight counties, meaning millions and millions of acres.
