Summary & Review

Well this was an interesting story that I did NOT expect. I decided to go into this one blind – I didn’t read the blurb and had never read this author’s work before. I simply decided to try this based on the cute cover/title and the fact that James Cassidy was one of the narrators for it (#FanGirl).

But wow – this is not the cute RomCom I definitely expected. 😂 I mean, don’t get me wrong – it has cute moments and RomCom elements, but this is mostly spice. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! I just wasn’t expecting most of the story to be a night of fun between the FMC and MMCs (who are firemen. So yeah, there’s that🔥).

So this story follows Abby, a social media influencer who focuses on small businesses and her community. She has a meet cute with a farmer’s market vendor who helped rescue her from a situation with a crappy ex-boyfriend. But when she returns later? He’s gone – already packed up for the day. That’s a bummer, but at least she has other things to keep her busy. Such as delivering the items she collected to donate to a local fire station.

Well imagine her surprise when that adorable fella is a firefighter at that very station! Jasper, the fireman and farmer.

But that’s not all! Oh no. There are two other extremely attractive firefighters also working at the station that day – Major and Wade.

Abby and the three firefighters play games and get to know each other. Intimately. 😉

For real, though, the story was cute. A solid 3 star read, making it a perfectly good story based on our rating scale. The narrators all did a wonderful job bringing Berlin Wick’s story to life.

The bloopers at the end were also a fun surprise! I didn’t know that was going to happen, but I definitely loved it.
