Fired Up #1
Firecracker
My life changed the night I rescued a six-month-old baby girl from a burning warehouse.
No one could find her parents, so I decided to foster her.
I named her Mora, and she was my energetic little firecracker.
I needed to hire a nanny to look after Mora while I was at work. The most promising candidate was one Margot Vimyridge. In the email, she sounded like a grandmotherly type, so I agreed to an interview.
I didn’t expect my new nanny to be so gorgeous, young, and have a heart of gold.
But she was so good with Mora, I had to offer her the job.
Unfortunately, my girlfriend wasn’t too happy about my decision.
Even worse, Margot had a secret, one she refused to tell me.
Could I placate my girlfriend, figure out my nanny’s secret and look after my new foster daughter without losing my mind?

There's nothing like a hot firefighter with a good heart. Perfect weekend read, but I want the Author Jackie Wang to make this novella a full length novel, just because I'm greedy and want more of them. Actually I could do with a trilogy.
This story is fast paced but didn't miss a beat. Very quickly I was attached to the characters, and their unique situation. A foster father, a parentless baby, and a woman who won't let life push her down. Sounds like the perfect family in the making... but of course nothing is that easy. I won't give anything away but it is a HEA and I loved it!

*I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.*
This was the fourth book I've read by Jackie Wang and I've enjoyed all of them. She has this way with her writing that pulls you in and keeps you engrossed from the first page to the very last one. Her descriptions are near-perfect, so when reading, you get the feeling that you’re there with the characters; a talent that I absolutely love in an author but have found to be lacking in books lately.
Henry Livingstone is a 28-year-old firefighter who risks his life to save a baby girl and decides to foster her, much to the dismay of his girlfriend. When he has no help taking care of the child he names Mora, he advertises for a roommate/nanny. Enter the heroine. Margot Vimyridge is 21 and I liked her from the onset. She’s petite, or ‘fun-sized’ as Henry calls her, smart, kind, and extremely likeable. A world traveler, which made me jealous, there isn’t anything that gets her down, and there’s a lot that life has thrown at this poor girl.
This book was a quick read that made me laugh (baby translator, anyone?), had drama that made me cringe, and contained a steamy sex scene. Just a head's up, this is an insta-love novella, so if you don't enjoy those, this may not be the book for you; if you do, pick it up! While I usually don’t care for insta-love books, I’ve read a lot of dark books (and textbooks) lately and a quick HEA was just what I needed!

Henry "The Hound" Livingstone is a fireman and one good at finding people left behind. When he rescues a baby from a burning building he wants to help her while they try and locate her family.
Knowing he needs help he hires a nanny, Margot Vimyridge, to help him while he is at work. But the Canadian is not what he expects at all.
When Henry's girlfriend, Aayana, decides she wants to be involved after all will it be too late? Will Henry discover the secret that Margot is hiding? Will they find Mora's parents?
This was another awesome and quick read by the author!
I loved Henry and how much he felt like he needed to help baby Mora regardless of what anyone else thought. I was surprised but not so with the reaction from Aayana as she was obviously not expecting Henry to do what he did.
I loved Henry meeting Margot and how shocked he was. Too funny!! It was obvious there would be some "sexual tension" in the air as it makes perfect sense in close comfort!
I was definitely surprised at the secret and then the huge restaurant scene made me so mad!! I was thankful that Henry found her in time after the home scene! No spoilers! Lol!
Loved it and can't wait for the next one!

Henry is a firefighter with a 6th sense. He senses fire victims that others on his team can't. His skill found an abandoned infant in a raging warehouse fire. Henry immediately felt a closeness to her and decided to take the baby under his wing against his girlfriends wishes. Margot has a positive outlook on life. She cherishes each moment and embraces the little things in life. She's good with kids and couldn't refuse Henry's offer to watch Mora. The two grow close quickly and their relationship escalates despite some bumps along the way. Firecracker is a novella but I wish it was longer! I wanted more and felt some parts were rushed but overall I enjoyed the story!!

This was a really cute short story. Henry is a firefighter who rescues an infant. He isnt able to stop thinking about the baby and decides he wants to foster her. His girlfriend is not at all supportive of it. So he decides to hire a nanny to help him out. The nanny ends up being a wonderful person and sparks fly. There are several ups and downs along the way. Henry is a great guy and we could use more people like him. Highly recommend. Well written with a fun storyline.

A firefighter rescues a 6 month old from a burning building and instantly falls in love with her. But, when the parents cannot be found and Henry wants to foster her (Mora), his girlfriend storms out refusing to help. So, in comes the nanny, Margot, a sexy young woman with a secret....
This was a beautifully written storyline with a HEA! The characters were all relatable. The devotion of both Henry and Margot to baby Mora was heroic. Definitely a muat read!

This quick read has a sexy fireman, a rescued baby and a sexy nanny. When a heroic firefighter rescues a baby and then decides to be her foster father, he has no idea of the drama this will cause to his life. The young attractive nanny is great at her job but his girlfriend sure isn't happy he hired her. This insta-love romance is hot, sexy and fun. A great read. I am voluntarily reviewing an ARC copy of this book.

Henry fosters an infant girl who he rescued from a fire, much to the chagrin of his self-centered girlfriend who promptly moves out until he comes to his senses. Henry has to hire a nanny, and Margot is perfect for the job. This is a wonderful short story with a lot of heart and a sweet focus on what it takes to raise a baby. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
Loved this book! A quick and easy read that was a delight from beginning to end. A sweet novella that is practically an insta love story. The story between Henry and Margot is so sweet, and while it was a fast read it worked as it had love and drama. The story was told from the point of view of Hwnry and while it isn't common to find a story from the male side I really enjoyed this tale. I am so happy that Henry and Margot got their HEA in the end.

Great novella with a touch of paranormal! Henry's sixth sense brought him to Mora, and he can't resist keeping her until her parents are found. Margot is so great with Mora, but she and Henry are also drawn to one another. Can they survive the blaze of their attraction? Loved this short and steamy read!

This book has:
- Great characters

- A cute baby
- Just enough angst

Firecracker by Jackie Wang
Rate: 4/5⭐️
Spice: 1/5🌶️
In the story, you get to follow Henry as he goes through not one for two life changes. Did he kick on more than the bargain for or are these life changes worth it in the end? It was a short and sweet Novella and I enjoyed it from beginning. The only thing I wish was the chemistry between him and Margot but other than that very well done!
