SYNOPSIS:
Lucy
Levi drives me crazy, and not the good kind of crazy.
He’s smoldering hot and so d*mn sexy, it’s dangerous.
He’s a hotshot firefighter and nearly sets me on fire whenever he’s around.
Perhaps it’s an occupational hazard.
He teases me every chance he gets and tempts me to let down my guard.
I certainly don’t need a man.
But Levi’s more than a man. He’s a man on octane fuel—pure, raw, primal masculinity practically oozes from his pores.
One night of weakness, and I tumble into the flames.
It’s more than lust. It’s how I feel when I’m with him—safe and protected. I never want to let go.
I might get burned if I’m not careful.
Levi
Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and hate can always turn into love.
Or at least lust.
Lucy hates me. She especially hates how much I want her.
And sweet h*ll do I want her.
But she can’t be bothered to even give me the time of day.
I should give up the chase, but I can’t.
It’s more than a spark between us, it’s a bonfire.
Fate rolls the dice and lands Lucy right where I want her.
She needs my help, and I need her, every inch of her lush curves.
One taste, and I’m lost. I’ll do anything to have her and to hold her.
To make her mine.
*This is a steamy, full-length standalone romance with a guaranteed happily-ever-after. No cliffhangers. Nothing but steamy romance & HEA!
Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I’d had a thing for her ever since I moved to Willow Brook right after high school. She’d ignored me then and she mostly ignored me now.”
Levi has had a crush for Lucy since he met her, but she constantly shoots down all his flirtatious comments and offers to take her out on a date. So, it become their thing for him to rile her up with incendiary comments, and for her sharp tongue to shred him. However, underneath the flippant comments, Levi is intrigued by her and genuinely cares about her. So, when she’s in need, he’s offers her a solution and realises that he needs to tread softly, if he has any chance of winning her over.
“Just being close to him made me jumpy, restless, and hot and prickly all over."
Lucy keeps everyone at arm’s length, especially guys. She happy to sate her needs with random one-night stands. However, Levi is incredibly hard to shake off, add in the fact that she finds him insanely attractive. Her level of snark always seems to rise when he’s close by. When her circumstances change unexpectedly, he offers her a reasonable solution, although it tests the strength of her defensive barriers and restraint.
“My hand apparently had a mind of its own. Because I touched him without even thinking, reaching out and sliding my palm down his chest.”
Lucy is a contradiction. She looks like a little fairy but has a huge presence and fiery personality. She is really prickly and sharp-tongued, but pretty sweet and vulnerable underneath. She is carrying some heavy baggage around and it’s stopping her leading a full life. She’s hugely independent and incredibly stubborn – to the point of unreasonable, sometimes.
Levi is a good man. He’s got the measure of Lucy and I loved how much he wanted to win her over. He’s got a generous heart and a lot of patience.
“This…this thing with us. I hate that I want you. It’s annoying and stupid and you make me crazy. The good kind of crazy and the bad kind.”
There was a lot of electric tension between them, and I loved how Lucy started to see the real Levi and fall for him, in spite of the fact that she doesn’t like how he makes her feel.
This was a fab read that was sexy and sweet.
