Rate this book
A piece of paper shouldn't be enough to send someone spiraling, but that's exactly what happens when he receives the SAVE THE DATE for his best friend's wedding. His best friend who he has loved for fifteen years... his best friend who now wants him to be the MAN OF HONOR at her wedding... his best friend who has no idea that he is in love with her. Yeah, that best friend. Kate always wanted to be a wife and a mother, while Zack vowed to never have kids because he didn't want to repeat the sins of his horrible father. Which is exactly why he knew he could never be with her. So he was content to be her best friend all this time... except now, the situation he's been dreading for years is about to come true. What's worse than Kate getting married to someone else? Kate getting married to someone else and asking Zack to be her Man of Honor at the wedding. Zack tries to hide away from the world and lick his wounds in private, but Kate has no intention of letting him drink himself sick. Whether he likes it or not, Kate is determined to get the truth from him, and she won't take no for an answer.

Dear reader, this is a quick, steamy, friends-to-lovers romance with a guaranteed HEA! Enjoy! ♥

The HEARTS ON FIRE series is a spinoff of the A-B-Cs of L-O-V-E series, but all books can be read as standalones.

Short & Sexy!

This was a great short story about two best friends who have fought their love for each other for too long. When they finally collide it is hot, sexy, and completely on fire! 🌶🌶🌶
Kate and Zack’s chemistry is off the charts and their love for each other is palpable. ❤️
I loved this story and can see a lot of potential for it to be expanded into a full novel if the author chooses to! 😍.

Burning for Zack

I am not familiar with the first part of "Hearts on Fire", but will read it now, as I enjoyed the author's writing so much.
Otherwise there isn't really a need for it, as the story works on its own.

Zack (a burning hot firefighter) and Kate have been best friends like forever.
Now Kate is getting married and has asked Zack to be her best man.
Which shouldn't be a problem, except Zack has a crush on Kate the size of Orion.
Needless to say, he just can't do it, stand there beside her and hand her over to her happy ever after.
But how to explain such a thing to his best friend, without giving his true feelings away?
And what if Kate would know, would it change anything?
Considering Zack doesn't want children, because of his bad upbringing, and Kate is desperate for a family of her own, does it even matter, that his heart in in flames for her alone?

Do this two have any chance at all?

If you, like me, enjoy reading short HEA instalove stories, you will agree, a lot of them are same old, same old.

That's why my heart really beats for the two love birds here, because it's a really good story, well written. I enjoyed reading it immensely.

I love steamy friends to lovers romance and Tilly Kane hit it out of the park with Burning Up. Receiving his Save The Date announcement from Kate sends Zack into a breakdown. He loves Kate fiercely but her desire for a family keeps him from admitting his true feelings. Will he confess his love and go after before its too late or will he lose her forever?
