About the book...

Firefighter Stephanie Díaz won’t let anyone stop her from becoming the youngest female fire chief in Denver. Not the jerks who’d like to see an ambitious Latine woman admit defeat. Not the ultra-bro firefighters she has to work with. And definitely not her ridiculously hot and often infuriating, fellow firefighter Eli Ward. Now Stephanie has the chance to prove to everyone that she’s got what it takes…but there’s one helluva catch. 

The Battle of the First Responders is a live, balls-out competition in the secluded Rockies and Stephanie has been selected—along with Ward as her partner. On the line are their reputations, a whole lot of cash…and the promotion they’ve been fighting for. Teaming up is the perfect chance to finally settle their never ending one-upmanship, but it also exposes the smoldering attraction they’ve held at bay. 

Now their days are fueled by a high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled competition. Their nights are filled with sizzling deep kisses that steal her breath away. But this sexy little fling is about to set off a five-alarm blaze she can’t control…

Alright guys, this book...in a word...is H-O-T hot!
Why?  Oh, I'll tell you why...and despite your first inclination, it's not just about THOSE scenes.  Nope.  Yes, they happen, and yes they are rather memorable (especially when you consider location!), but it's not the whole story!

We've got a leading lady and leading man that have worked together for years.  They are close as close can be, but they both harbor feelings for the other they will not simply act upon.  He's respecting her wishes, while she is warding off hurt, heartache, and professional disruption thanks to her experience with an a-hole in the past.  Is Ward anything like the one before?  N to the O...but, the heart remembers, and the mind wants to help it forget, so walls are built, and rules are put in place...but rules are sometimes meant to be broken...given the right circumstances, and, in this case, the right person.  

Watching these two battle through the obstacles set before them...like ACTUAL obstacles because of the reality show bit...was amazing.  Seeing their determination, drive, and skills on display, seriously gives you a new respect for the roles they fill...but, watching them get closer to giving themselves a chance...now that was TRULY spectacular.  If you don't combust from the sexy times as they occur, you will from the flood of emotions.  I know, I know...you want your read one way, or the other...but quite frankly, I LOVE the mix of BOTH!  It gives it balance. It brings it to life.  It shows that there are some things in life worth fighting for, some PEOPLE worth the extra effort.

It was a great addition to the Mile High Firefighters series, and a fun, heart-filled, rom com to boot!  Grant it, I would rather have shared a name with a character not heck bent on simply getting ratings, but it was a stellar read just the same!  😉
