REVIEW: A Firefighter’s Christmas Gift by Vivian Arend

KaetrinB Reviews / Book ReviewsCanada / category length / Christmas / Contemporary / Firefighter / single mother2 Comments

Dear Vivian Arend, I was so happy you decided to branch out into holiday novellas as well as your full length romances. Although, A Firefighter’s Christmas Gift is really more category-length than novella, clocking in at around 140ish pages. There is something special about holiday novellas to me. I expect ... more >

REVIEW: Hot Response by Shannon Stacey

JayneB Reviews / Book ReviewsBoston / Boston Fire / Contemporary / Firefighter / paramedic2 Comments

Gavin Boudreau lives for the job, but he also believes in “work hard, play harder.” As the youngest guy in Ladder 37, he figures he’s got plenty of time before settling down becomes a priority. Soft, pretty women who aren’t looking for promises are exactly his type, and he’s comfortable ... more >

Dear DD Ayres, I wanted to like Explosive Forces much more than I actually did.  Unfortunately, I didn’t buy one of the book’s central arguments and the romance was a little fast. (It does end in a HFN which was more fitting for the characters so it didn’t end up ... more >

REVIEW: Controlled Burn by Shannon Stacey

JayneB ReviewsBoston / Boston Fire / Contemporary / dysfunctional family / family relationships / Firefighter / hockey2 Comments

Rick Gullotti lives the good life. He fights fires, dates beautiful women—though none long enough so they cast wistful glances at jewelry stores—and has great friends. And thanks to helping out the elderly couple who own his building, his rent is low. But when concerns about their health lead him ... more >

REVIEW: Heat Exchange by Shannon Stacey

KatiB+ Reviews / Recommended ReadsBoston / Boston Fire / Contemporary romance / Firefighter2 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Stacey: Your books generally work very well for me, and in the interest of full disclosure, I should say that we are friendly on Twitter. When I realized you were writing a book that is my personal catnip: Boston-set, about firefighters, and the trope “in love with my best ... more >
