About the author
Margaret McHeyzer
51 books1,180 followersNEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF UGLY AND MISTRUST
I’m a two-time New York Times bestselling author for my stand-alone books Ugly and Mistrust. To date I’ve published over 30 books!
I’m first generation Australian born and live in Sydney with my husband, two daughters and my rescue-dog, Kingston!
I love to write stories to connect my readers to my strong, courageous characters…with some spice sprinkled between the pages.
The characters I write about can pop into my mind anytime and anywhere. From the shower, to washing dishes, playing with my puppy or even in my dreams. My characters can sometimes be intrusive, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Thank you for taking this journey with me and I truly hope you love reading my stories as much as I love writing them.

I really liked this one but not as much as the first book.
Alec was kind of an asshole and then both of them getting together didn't have that one thing.
Don't know what that thing is because it's not there.
But it was a good read and I'm looking forward to reading Rhett's book.

the brother delivers
I love the way Margaret McHeyzer weaves a story within a story, within a story! So much going on in the pages of this book! Alex is such a proud man… proud of his profession, proud of his family and the family he fights fires with, protect and rescue! It took a garage door falling on his ankle to slow him down, and take a good look at his life! His physiotherapist has her own troubles within her life! Working 3 jobs to save money for her brother’s drug rehab… she is a force to herself! The story touches on drug use, scary individuals wanting their drug money… and her brother hitting rock bottom! Through it all love continues to grow and triumph! It’s called undeniable love!!

So many feels!
Never one to any away from hard topics, Ms. McHeyzer has done it again! There are some dealings with drugs and sterility but they are done masterfully as always. Loved Alex and Serena! Can't wait for Rhett! A definite recommend!

Ahhhhh I love Alec and Serena, such a hot strong couple. They were definitely meant for each other.
I love the Morgan family and the dynamics. The banter between the brothers and their mum Elise are on point in this book…..I loved it.
It was so nice to hear more of Dean and Joanne in this book and the continuation of their story.
I would of loved to have read more of Jordan’s story and how he ends up, so hoping to read this in the next book.
There was so much to love about this book. The emotional highs and lows and the way Margaret weaves stories within a story are amazing. Can’t wait to read Rhett’s story!

I enjoyed this read. Alec is the middle child. The brothers and their mother are absolutely amazing, the support and kindness they’ve shown towards Serena. When she needed help and financial help they without asking offered. Alec used to be shallow dating women purely for their looks, he likes pretty arm candy. However it only lasts a short time because he becomes bored. With Serena she’s an amazing person and it doesn’t take him long to fall.

An exciting story
Wow this story was powerfully written with another problem that families go through and the author brings out a lesson we all should remember that could help us or maybe a friend.

Alec: A Firefighter Romance
I loved reading Alec’s story, very raunchy too, but whatever the family vibes are everything anyone could wish for. On to the next Brother’s story.

Good story, poor editing.
The storyline is great and deserves a #5 rating but the poor editing brings it down to a 4. Love her books but wish her proofreader would do a better job.

The second Morgan Brothers novel and I enjoyed it. Much the same storyline as book one ‘Dean’, this book dabbled in drug abuse and a plus sized leading female which I quite liked.
They say Alec is an a$$, I say he’s misunderstood. Serena is guarded but strong enough to pull him into line. I enjoyed reading a small part of the continuation of Dean in the story, as well as being introduced to the next couple, Rhett and Dani.
An enjoyable read with hot sex scenes that will leave you squirming 😜
