About this ebook

The Temperature Is Rising...

Firefighter Cole Everett's life revolves around the firehouse. Committed to saving lives--and to the guys who always have his back in the most dangerous moments on the job--Cole's focus is a coveted spot on the Fairview Rescue Squad. When his captain asks him to mentor a rookie firefighter, he jumps at the chance, hoping it will help to prove his skill. But the new "guy" is none other than Savannah Nelson, a female firefighter as stubbornly determined as Cole is, and a whole lot curvier in all the right places . . .

Savannah won't let anyone extinguish her dream of fulfilling her family legacy and becoming a top notch firefighter--and she's happily surprised when strong-willed, sexy Cole is willing to give her the chance she deserves. Concentrating on the job isn't always easy when the heat between them flares higher every day, but Savannah won't give up--not even when one of Station Eight's veterans seems bent on trashing her reputation. To stop a string of possible arsons, Savannah and Cole will need to eliminate every distraction--but can they let their love go up in flames?

Ratings and reviews

Get ready for this summer’s blockbuster! Cole Everett left the family farm to become a firefighter, what he always wanted to do. Cole is ambitious, and he wants to be the best; he’s also aiming for a promotion to squad. When Station Eight’s Captain Westin calls Cole to his office, Cole hopes it’s about his promotion. And it is, conditionally. Before earning his place to the rescue squad, Westin tells him that Cole has a rookie to train. Fresh out of the academy and coming from a family of firefighters, Savannah Nelson is no less ambitious. Tall, gorgeous, the Texan is all cockiness; Savannah Nelson is FEARLESS! Kimberly Kincaid spins a glorious tale in such vivid details, I’m almost tempted to call it the movie blockbuster of the summer! And what a movie it would make! Right from the start, I knew that Ms. Kincaid really knew her stuff: never has a fire station felt so real to me. From the tight camaraderie between the firefighters and their funny banter, they all felt familiar, and all this with a few chosen words. Savannah doesn’t get preferential treatment from Cole, even though they were physically attracted to each other from the start, and I loved that. She is proud and too self-confident for her own good, and they have a few showdowns, and O joy, how it was so wonderfully believable. Savannah has to deal with unjustified animosity from an old-timer, there is arson, a cover-up, and of course the fabulous romance, and the author masterfully blends everything into a exhilarating action-filled book, with the romance happening precisely how it should. And kudos to Ms. Kincaid who did some serious research on firefighting, which makes FEARLESS positively enthralling, and speaking for myself, quite educational as well in the most entertaining way possible. What I loved the most is that everything that has to do with firefighting is not meant as the backdrop for a romance, but plays an integral part of it. The writing is low-key, descriptive, and quite elegant indeed. Do not miss this fabulous read by the equally fabulous Kimberly Kincaid! A winner all the way! I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

There is nothing sexier than a man in uniform. Except for a man willing to risk heart, career, friendships and danger in order to do the right thing. Cole is one such man. Upon introduction I didn't plan on liking the cocky guy with the wry sense of humor and sexual innuendos as much as I ended up doing. What changed my mind. The glimpses of the honorable man underneath. Savannah had all the odds against her. A woman in a man's world seeking to prove her skill and give her life in exchange for the respect of her peers, as well as honor a family legacy needed someone in her corner. Although he may not have started out as supportive, Cole must have saw the grit of fighter and the heart of a champion because he ultimately became her biggest cheerleader. Stories like Fearless are inspiring because the message they provide is powerful. Anything is possible to achieve, if in your heart you truly believe.

Everyone loves firemen, but to get the heroine and hero as both fireman, you know you are going to get a great story. Loving this series at Station 8. In this story you get Cole, who is up for promotion to the Rescue Squad and Savannah, a new recruit who won't let anyone stand in her way. The last thing Cole has to do is train Savannah. This is Savannah dream and family legacy to become a fireman. She is very independent and very capable of the job, ok so she can't cook. The last thing they expect is to have a sexual chemistry between the two, which is a big no no at the department. As things begin to heat up, they also discover some suspicious fire settings. A great read as always. Loved the dialogue between the two. Great research was put into this book, and I'm surely it was enjoyed. I highly recommend this book!!
