When a tv producer from the big city, who happens to have small town roots, meets a hot firefighter who's known for leaving women at the alter, you know you're in for a story that's both fun and hot. And this one definitely was. With great characters and fantastic writing, you always know that Lauren Layne will deliver a story that that'll capture your heart. Luke and Jordan's story was charming and sweet while at the same time swoony and sexy. Another perfect summer read from Ms. Layne. 
 I loved the fact that this story really revolved around discovery. Like peeling back an onion, we slowly discover Luke's past and begin to understand why he's been to the alter three times yet never been married. He's very closed off and secretive about his past when we first meet him but thanks to his meddling friends and family, and his attraction to Jordan, he begins to open up and we discover the sweet, tender man underneath the crusty exterior. This was definitely a slow burn relationship and I enjoyed watching these two do the dance - the wonderful banter, the misunderstandings, and the undeniable attraction that brought sizzle to the pages. 
 I enjoyed the small town aspect of this story as well. The secondary characters were great and they definitely helped move the story along. Their true friendships shone through and made the whole town feel like one big family. As I've said many times, to me, great secondary characters can make a story that much better and this was very true here. This is the first book in a new series and I'm definitely looking forward to the next book. There's nothing better than a fun, slow-burning romance and this book definitely delivered!
