Blurb
Her brother told me to stay away from her. Her brother can go f**k himself!
I2527m a firefighter. When it comes to doing my job, I2527m the best around.
Am I cocky? You2527re damn right.
Wild? I was. I2527ve tried to clean up my act. Was doing a pretty damn good job of it too until I ran into Stephanie Frost after all these years. The heat from fires don2527t compare to what I feel when she2527s near me.
Her brother2527s a troublemaker who2527s been in and out of prison. He2527s even told me that he2527ll kill me if I don2527t stay away from his sister. He2527d be pissed if he knew she2527s been squirming underneath me every single night.
Now that I2527ve got a second chance, I2527m not giving her up this time.

Review
Stephanie Frost and her three-year-son Andrew are stuck
in their burning apartment, but a fireman rescues them. Though she2527s more
concerned for her son than anything, she2527s shock to see Matt, her ex-boyfriend
and now rescuer, again.

Matt Porter hasn2527t seen Stephanie in eight years. After
she broke up with him, he became a homeless alcoholic and hit rock bottom, but
finally dragged himself back to his feet. Now he2527s sober and works as a
fireman. He loves his job, but his rocky relationship with Stephanie puts
everything he2527s worked so hard for in jeopardy.

I liked Matt for the most part. He2527s protective,
considerate, and completely adores Stephanie and her son.

I couldn2527t connect with Stephanie, and I definitely
didn2527t like her family. Years earlier, her brother Lance robbed a store, shot a
person, and left that person paralyzed. Stephanie and her controlling family
never seemed to care that her brother did anything wrong or felt bad for the
person Lance shot. Instead, they accused Matt of ratting out Lance to his
policeman father (which Matt didn2527t do), and Stephanie dumped him for it. In
doing so, Matt2527s life went completely downhill and nearly ended at the bottom
of a bottle.

Matt and Stephanie had a lot of chemistry, but Stephanie
was trapped under her brother2527s and her abusive ex-lover2527s thumb. She wanted to
please her family and keep the peace more than she cared about her and Matt2527s
happiness, and I just couldn2527t respect her.

The story is told in first person, duel H/h POV. It needs
an edit to fix some spelling errors and inconsistencies. There are also a few
unanswered questions, but nothing major that affected the overall plot.
