Shea Brighton’s Ablaze is a sexy, one-night stand to fake relationship, contemporary romance written in K. Bromberg’s Everyday Heroes Worlds project.
We agreed to a single night. Now we’re dating and living together. How the heck did that happen? One night changes everything.
Izzy Raymond doesn’t stay in one place, and Matteo Delgado doesn’t do relationships, but their sizzling attraction couldn’t be ignored. One night and they’d go their separate ways. The perfect solution.
Until fate, family, and flames throw them back together.
Asking Matteo to be her fake boyfriend went completely against their “one night only” rule, but what else could Izzy do to convince her matchmaker mother to focus on something else? And when flames light up the night sky destroying her apartment, her sexy firefighter fake boyfriend comes to her rescue in more ways than one – he offers her a place to stay.
Except living together tests the already tenuous control they have over their mutual attraction. One they finally give into. Over and over again. Until they find themselves sharing much more than they’d ever intended and discover a parallel history that threatens to derail everything.
Can they push through demons of the past to grab hold of a future together?
Potential trigger though this is a romance with a Happy Ever After, this book deals with themes of cancer and loss.
Shea Brighton has immersed herself in the fictional worlds of her favorite authors for years, never thinking she'd join them in their story-telling journey. However, life leads you to places you weren't expecting. That's what happened to her a few years ago, and her writing pursuit began.
Shea makes her home in Virginia, having left her native New York years ago. You can usually find her watching some sporting event on TV (though baseball holds her heart), visiting a certain Mouse, winery hopping with her friends, or curled up with a book.
Izzy asks Matteo to be her fake boyfriend for a while even though they agreed to only see each other one night. Her mom had been trying to set her up and she's tired of it. Somehow she seems up moving in with him and they get to know each other better. Their story is a sweet one.
This was a very interesting read; she is trying to complete a bucket list and he is one of the things on that list. He is not happy about the auction until he hears her voice, he becomes instantly interested to know who won the date. As they get to know one another they start to learn more about themselves and how to overcome their past hurts.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A beautiful well written story. Izzy and Matteo's story captured my attention right from the start. A geat storyline that got me crying about 80% into the story. Wonderful characters that hopefully will get a story.
"A pretty brunette approached the microphone, laying a stack of papers on the podium. “Ladies and gentlemen…” The soft yet commanding words quieted the room almost instantly. “Welcome to tonight’s auction of the bravest men and women from Edisonville and the surrounding counties. I’m Sophie, your host for tonight.” Sophie is a blonde.....
