This was an enemies to lovers billionaire romance.

I loved how the author skillfully wove the suspense elements into the love story. Great characters. Highly recommend!

Stuck with the Grumpy Firefighter is a steamy, frenemies-to-lovers, second-chance, office romance. Rayne is a sassy paramedic who has decided to move back to her hometown after her fiancé of 5 years cheated on her a month before their wedding. Drey is a hunky, grumpy billionaire and former firefighter. The two have a complicated past, and she doesn't expect him to be her new boss when she takes the head paramedic position at the firehouse. She loved him when they were in high school, and he walked away. As they work together, feelings both good and bad resurface. This book had it all, romance, mystery, drama, and suspense. These two had insane chemistry. It was so hot. I'm surprised my Kindle didn't melt. But the hot and cold with Drey upset me at times. However, after a lot of the drama was resolved, we got the most amazing HEA. This was my first book by this author but not the last. I loved it!.

WONDERFUL, STEAMY and UNFORGETTABLLY FANTASTIC book Meghan has right here for us. I had some tears in my eyes at times because some of what Rayne goes through. It is very realistic, and I feel bad for her. This was one intense and romantic book, and I loved reading it. Any type of Paramedic/Firefighter Romance books draws my attention because I myself am a Paramedic. This book has a lot of Romance, SUSPENSE and SURPRISES that make you both Sad and Happy.

Best of Meghan Blake's books, so far. The plot had tension, mystery, corruption, and romance. The main characters receive a second chance at love while dealing with an ex-fiance, a frisky employee, and an unscrupulous businessman. I loved the HEA. I received a copy, and I'm voluntarily giving my honest review.

Second Chance Fire

Rayne moves back home to start fresh after finding out her ex wasn't who she thought he was. However, she is now working for Drew, her ex from high school which only adds to the drama of this story. What an exuberant plot with twists that were unexpected yet truly heart pounding.
