Can they keep their attraction under control?

After working as a firefighter for the past ten years, burnout is real for Thea Martinelli. But just when she’s ready to hang up the hose for good, she’s offered a position as the station’s new social media coordinator. It’s a move that would keep her on the squad and off the truck.

Librarian and social media coordinator Simon Osman is shocked to learn his new responsibilities include showing Thea – his high school crush – the ins and outs of digital engagement. And the fact that she doesn’t even remember him? Not helpful.

But as the chaos of the holiday season unfolds, Thea and Simon find that the closer they work together, the hotter their attraction burns. Are they willing to risk everything they’ve worked toward…for each other?

I'm not sure I can remember the last time I read a book featuring a fire fighter, let alone a female fire fighter, so its to be a bit of a shame that at the start of the book Thea is hanging up her hose, and agrees to become the social media manager for the county's fire service. 

And the man giving her the training is the current social media manager at the library, Simon, who fancied Thea like mad when they were at high school and from their first re-meeting its clear those feelings may still be present. 

It starts fairly sweet but then the spice really does ramp up, and I loved the dynamics between Thea and Simon. 

There are great fire safety videos being made, which seem to put the pair in some wonderful positions! 

This is a really enjoyable story that I romped through. 

Thank you to Mills and Boon and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
