From the international best selling author of 'Spoilt' …...
It may be a bit of a cliché to say that all firemen are hot, but Captain Jared Montgomery is in an intensely smoldering class of his own, which makes him somewhat explosive to handle.
When he first met Charlotte at the vet's where she worked, he immediately judged her to be breathtakingly beautiful, flirtatious, superficial and shallow. He didn't like her but he couldn't get her out of his mind. She thought he was aggressive and rude, but she couldn't get him out of her mind either.
Then mutual friends and family forced them together at a wedding and suddenly they had a runaway fire going between them nobody was going to put out until the day Jared discovered Charlotte locking lips with Dr Shaw, the local vet and her boss.
She, of course, said it wasn't like that at all, but she would, wouldn't she?
And it might all have ended there if Charlotte hadn't nearly died in a fire and if Jared hadn't been the one to save her …..
If you like your Romance as straight as your firemen, this is the one for you.
I really enjoyed Spoilt...the 1st book in the series and was looking forward to reading Twisted Fire.
It was good to catch up on the characters from the first book and meet the central characters in the next book. I have a bit of a thing about Firemen so this book is totally up my street.
It took me a while to warm to Jared, the male romantic lead, but I think that's what the author wants...he's a real slow burner (pardon the pun) and at times he infuriated me (typical man!!) So, yes I found it pretty authentic!
The plot was easy to get in to and I found myself racing through the chapters. The sub plot to the romance between Charlotte and Jared is the 'Twisted Fire starter' I was pretty sure who it was and maybe just a few more red herrings may have built up the suspense, but it didn't spoil my enjoyment as I was already engrossed and invested in the characters.
This was a free download from Smashwords. I had an issue with the characters and the way they handled the situations. Neither Jared or Charlotte seemed very mature or willing to talk out their problems. I had a HUGE issue with Charlotte having to prove she was trustworthy even though she had never shown otherwise. If Jared couldn't keep her and Emma separated in his mind, I would've kicked him to the curb. I also thought it was sheer stupidity how Charlotte could think that he had slept with Emma AFTER asking her to move in with her. The whole Emma thing didn't really make a lot of sense anyway. Overall it was an ok read.
