I’m the station’s youngest fire chief, a grown man, and fully in my right mind—which means I’m not going to fall for the One Who Got Away.

That’s not the kind of person I am.
Second chances are like skipping leg day—I don’t do that. Ever.

But I wasn’t counting on Naomi buying me at the firefighter charity auction. Now I’m forced into a month of dates with the one woman who cuts through my defenses like no one else, and I’m starting to think maybe she’s right…maybe we are different people than the teenagers who failed at love.

Maybe this isn’t a fire I have to put out.
Maybe for the first time in my life I can relax and just…let it burn.

Or maybe we’re both about to learn that fire isn’t something you should underestimate—especially the kind that burns between a man and a woman.

My Review  5 STARS

**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This book is a small town romance along with a second chance at love that sweeps you away with the characters and the changes that have happened to them since they last saw each other fifteen years ago.

Naomi and Jake have changed in many ways since they split all those years ago.  Naomi left Jake without a goodbye, because she knew that he was the one thing that would stop her from leaving to fulfil her dreams.

Coming back to her hometown, Jake is now in charge at the Fire Station and Naomi is liking her wounds after things went south with her fiancé.  She is back with her broken sister and her brother who has also suffered, they are now looking after each other while their parents are away and have a really good sibling bond.

Naomi is a strong character and I not afraid to take the hard subjects even if they are hard to talk about, whilst Jake shows he can grow and give second chances to the one person that he has never really stopped loving.

This is a wonderful read with really great supportive cast that you just can't help but root for.
