About this ebook

Single-Dad

Firefighter

Since my divorce five years ago, these are the two labels I've identified with. Now, I'm ready for more. Ready to give dating a shot, even with an eight-year-old daughter and twenty-four hour shifts needing my attention.

When Sydney has a snow-day and we have an epic malfunction in the kitchen, we decide to head to the breakfast joint we've frequented for years.Ê

Except today something is different.Ê

Our normal waitress, Emma, isn't all baggy clothes and ducking her head to keep me from seeing her face. Today? Today I feel like I see her for the first time, and damned if our gazes don't ignite a heat I've only felt while on the job.

Ratings and reviews

Sexy single dad and firefighter, adorable waitress who hasn't quite figured her life out yet, and a totally lovable little girl - add that to a low angst, sweet and sexy read, and Inflame is the perfect prescription for a book hangover. There are some emotional moments, but the romance is easy going and totally charming. We see the struggles of a single parent, the exhaustion, the need to put yourself on the back burner while doing what has to be done for your child, and it's all addressed wonderfully as Ash devotes himself to Sydney. Every little girl should have an Ash in their life. Every big girl should have one too, and Emma is the winner on that front. Of course, she's the type of character that you can't help but root for. She's still finding her own bliss, but she thinks of others first and fits perfectly with Ash and his ready made family. This is a great start to a promising series, and I can't wait to see what this author has for us next.

This book was so easy to read and get caught up in. In fact, it was over before I was ready to let these characters go. The story itself is a slow burn but the chemistry and connection between Ash and Emma is instantaneous. Ash is everything sweet and noble you could possibly want in the single dad firefighter. Emma has a giant heart and generous spirit that are exactly what Ash and his little girl, Syd, need. Sydney is an old soul in the body of a precocious child. She’s quite possibly my favorite part of the book. There are some big personalities in the cast of characters that surround them. I can’t wait to read more about Midnight Cove. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.

This book had me at single dad then throw in firefighter you have me sold. This was a fast enjoyable read. It had many sweet and fun moments. The scenes with Ash and his daughter warmed my heart. I loved that Emma is a baker. Plus she's super nice and kind which is what Ash needs in his life. There was a part in this book that had me tear up a bit. The characters are great and engaging. You could feel the connection between Emma and Ash. I'm really looking forward to more from this series!
