I didn't mean to end up between two firefighters, but it just sort of happened...
Liam. He was my high school crush. The guy I always dreamed about. And when he opened the door, I thought fate was finally on my side.
Until I saw who his roommate was.
Gerard. He was my first love. The man who broke my heart. And when I saw him again, I wanted to punch him in the face.
But I'm stuck with them both, Because they're my new roommates. They're gorgeous, hot-as-sin and beautifully inked. Gerard wants his second chance. Liam wants his first.
Oh, and someone is trying to kill me. Did I forget that part?
Yeah...

And I ask you... Who doesn't love a sexy man that devotes his life and time by saving others? How about two of them? Wouldn't you love to be the woman that claims their hearts and souls? I, personally, feel that Mrs. Callahan is the queen of sexy firefighter romances and Blaze and Bind is exactly that. This release has a deep storyline and the engaging characters just make you enjoy it all the more. Rachel has a love/hate relationship with her Brother, however, the one good thing he's done for her is introduce her to his best friends; Liam and Gerald in High School. After a few years, Rachel meets and falls for Gerald, however, he threw away what they could of had, with no explanation and no contact. Now, her Brother is causing trouble again and when she attempts to fix yet another problem caused by him, she runs into his roommates. Liam, her first crush and Gerald, her first & only. What transpires keeps you glued to your Kindle and engrossed all the way through the drama as well as their HEA. Mrs. Kelli Callahan has created another sizzling MFM read.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader's copy of Blaze and Bind in exchange for my honest/voluntarily given opinion and I highly recommend reading this book as well as anything written by Mrs. Callahan. It was like Christmas all over again and this release was my gift. I truly love the writing style of Kelli and I am positive that you will too.

Rachel can not believe her brother Billy had done it again!! He was always doing something that left his family to bail him out but this time was the final straw. He had ran off to Vegas and got married and wasn't coming back, which leaves dad with a big bill as dad signed the lease on Billy's flat. Billy just doesn't think. When Rachel goes over to the flat she finds Billy had room mates but not and old room mates. They were Billys old school buddies. Liam she had always had a crush on and Gerald. Gerald and Rachel had history. Unfinished business. Rachel had lost her virginity with Gerald and he promised her he would always be there. But once they had slept together she never heard from him again and she never trusted another person. well im going to stop there because I dont want to give any more away but believe me this book is awesome. I got totally lost in this book. I really cant recommend this book enough.

Rachel is trying to clean up another mess made by her irresponsible brother when she makes contact with Liam, her high school crush & Gerard, someone she has history with. Both of them are firefighters, good friends of her brother's & his roommates that he has screwed over for the rent. As a short term fix, Rachel moves in to cover her brothers part of the rent & some of the guys portion since her idiot brother skipped town with their money. Relationship missteps are brought out in the open, new relationships are beginning to unfold & Rachel's brother's problem becomes their problem bringing danger to anyone connected to him. It also puts Gerard's honor on the line when he has to make a shady deal with a high profile criminal to keep everyone safe. Great story! I really like the crime solving aspect. It pulls my interest. The build of the relationship allows you to empathize with what the characters are feeling. It's also hot & steamy which makes for a full story.
Who doesn’t like a sexy firefighter?? Well what if there were two, tempted?? Rachel’s brother has once again left their father. He’s left town and the apartment that his father co-signed on and now the rent is due. Rachel has offered to help her dad figure out what to do so he can go on vacation. When she goes and meets with the landlord to see if they can work something out, she finds out that he has 2 roommates that neither her or her father knew about. She decided to go up to see if maybe they can pull their wait with the rent that is due. What she doesn’t realize when the door opens is that she knows the guys who live there. Liam is someone she had a crush on in high school and then Gerard is the guy she lost her virginity to. A little awkward? Maybe, but wait till you find out what happens next.. To do that though, you have to read the book. It’s a well written book with strong characters that I thought was very enjoyable.

This is a steamy hot story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Short story and that was a good thing. Blaze and Bind by author, Kelli Callahan is an ok book for a ménage a trois. The storyline just holds up because there's only twenty chapters. Twenty-one and the book's in trouble. It's all about getting the goody nerdy girl, Rachel in the apartment with the two guys, Liam and Girard, roommates of her loser older Billy. Billy has taken their rent money and eloped to Vegas. The only solution Rachel comes up with so the guys won't be evicted (which they wouldn't) was for her to move in with them. And, the rest of the scenes write themselves. In conclusion, if your are into this genre and relatively short storylines then by all means this book should give you reading pleasure and enjoyment. I am volunteering to leave a review of this advanced review book.
When Rachel goes to her older brothers apartment to try to get him out of trouble, she runs into her teenage crush. Liam was her brothers best friend and is now his roommate. And hes even hotter now than he was in high school. Even worse, their other best friend/roommate is the one who took her virginity and broke her heart. Rachel has to team up with these two hotties to try to clean up the mess her brother made, which puts the three of them in danger. And the sparks start flying! Rachel has to try to decide between her old crush and old love....or does she? This was a really good storyline with lots of action and heat. Kelli Callahan is fast becoming my favorite reverse harem author. Each book I read by her gets better and better,

Quite surprising mix of a menage, mafia and firefighters story. I loved the steamy romance side, with a bit of mafia suspense that endangers the main characters for something they did not do. For this kind of story, it's pretty well written. Rachel finds herself cohabiting with a former one night stand (Gerard) and her her brother who fled without paying his rent, to get married to Vegas, but also, to escape his debts with a mafia, what his family does not know. Between the attraction that Rachel has for the two men and the pressure on her family because of her brother, the story is quite tense, but strangely, remains pretty "cute" I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This was a hot read. Rachel has always thought about her older brother's friends but they never gave her the time of day. Rachel knows her brother refuses to grow up and take responsibility for anything but this last one is major. Rachel's brother Billy has managed to get himself in debt with a major loan shark and has skipped town. Rachrl's Dad is on his way out of town on a much needed vacation so that leaves this mess with Rachel. She only thought she had to clean up her brother's rent payment. She also learns that Billy has roommates, her high school crushes. This is a great story of how three people find live and the sacrifices and things they are willing to sacrifice for happiness.

Smoking hot - pun intended! Rachel and her dad are always bailing her brother out of trouble, and this time is no exception. She heads over to his apartment to try to get an extension on his rent since he left town, only to find out that he has two roommates. She never expected to come face to face with his two best friends, now smoking hot firefighters! She had one hot steamy night with one, but when he never called she figured he was a jerk. Now she ends up with two men that she is attracted to, while trying to figure out how to deal with the mess her brother left. They both want her, and they have shared before, but what will Rachel say? This is a suspenseful, sweet and sexy story that will leave you needing to get hosed off!
I love Kelli Callahan’s stories and this is the best one of hers so far and I’ve read quite a few of her books. Rachel’s brother ran off from paying his rent so she’s had to go and clean up another one of his messes, Rachel goes to see her brothers roommates and when they open the door she gets the shock of her life. Liam was her childhood crush then she saw Gerard he took her virginity and he also made her distrust men, but her brother has gotten involved in owing a crime boss and now all of their lives are in danger. This is such a fantastic story a 5 plus ⭐️ read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.
Damn these 3 end up in a bind not of their choosing. Liam, Gerard and Rachel have to deal with the fallout of Rachel's brothers actions when he takes from a loan shark. Gerard and Rachel have a past and not one that ended well, Liam has always been Rachel's crush with them both being her brothers friends. These 3 come together with sparks flying and a determination to have that happy ever after they have been looking for definitely did not disappoint yet another great MFM book that is set to have your pants on fire.

Rachel is tired of her father having to clean up her brother's messes. Liam is trying to get himself out of debt. Gerard is trying to keep his life straight. One person is determined to destroy them. Will Rachel give the men a chance? Will Liam finally get what he wants? Will Gerard find a permanent solution before it is to late?
This was a steamy read! I liked the fact that Rachel, while scared of a repeat, didn't let the past hold her back anymore. I loved how Gerard was determined to do whatever he could to protect those he cared about. Loved how Liam was determined not to screw up once he had his girl! Good read!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review Rachel finds out from her dad that her brother took off without paying his bills, again. Rachel goes to his brothers apartment to try and resolve with the landlord and finds that her brother has 2 roommates. When she tries to speak with them, she finds they are 1, her old crush and 2 the guy she gave her virginity to Oh, and they are both hot firefighters, Great story and love the twist about the money her brother owes and ran away from. Another hit from Kelli.

Of all the books I have read in this series, this is my least favorite. The story was interesting and very steamy, but the male characters just didn't resonate with me as the others in the series have done. Billy was a total waste and still managed to not take any responsibility for his actions and slide through unscathed. Liam and Gerard were marginally better, though they also were total tools in the earlier flashbacks making it difficult to empathize with them.

This book in the series also reads nicely. The chemistry is good and together with the tension and drama the book is complete. The characters are well described and the timeline, together with the retrospective, are easy to follow because it is all well indicated. Although there is not a lot of firework at the station in it, it is not allowed to suppress the reading pleasure. Sex scenes make it hot. From me 5 stars.

Oh my! This book is an exciting read that gets hot and heavy with some heart stopping moments, that was very hard to put down. There is a lot of drama, forgiveness, suspense on how things are going to be resolved, great descriptive sexy panty melting scenes and the right balance between romance and drama. If you have never read any of this author's books, I will recommend you start now because you will not be disappointed.

This was a scorching hot MFM book about firefighters and the woman of their desires. Rachel had a past history with both the guys, and after her brother takes off and leaves she moves in with his two friends to try to pick up the pieces. Things get hot and steamy quickly, and the three have a hot, sexy ménage relationship together. This book was a very interesting read and had its share of drama and twists and turns to make it a page turning read!!
