Review:
Second chance romance FTW!
I’ve really been enjoying Annabeth Albert‘s Hotshots series, and her latest, Feel the Fire , did not disappoint! Luis and Tucker were childhood best friends, then something more, then planning for a possible future (always a bit up in the air, given their age and a likely lack of support from Tucker’s family)…when Luis had to move. Long distance didn’t work, life happened, and now it feels like it’s a lifetime later when they’re thrown together again, this time for work. But they’re adults, right? They can just be respectful coworkers, right?
Riiight.
Even though it was also as hot as heck, I really appreciated how adult this romance was. Spending time with Tucker’s coworkers (former and future–I hope!–characters in the series) helped Luis to overcome much of the prejudice he had toward the area from growing up there. Tucker’s twin boys were really accepting of their dad’s new relationship, and even before the story began the three of them joined his ex-wife, her new husband, and their daughter for weekly dinners. It was just wonderful to spend time with people who yes, may have been hurt and/or hurt each other in the past but were able to get past it all and just enjoy their relationships.
Also–I mentioned that Tucker and Luis were super hot together? Yes? 😉
Bring on the next firefighter couple; I’m ready!
