Firefighters. Set in Australia. Throw in that awesome cover (yeah, yeah, I know. But we all do judge, and you know it!), and seriously, what's not to love here?Flirting with Danger is the first book I've read by Claire Baxter, but it definitely won't be my last. I just couldn't put this one down! I was completely drawn into Jasmine and Aaron's lives and was in no way ready to leave them when the book was over.I really enjoyed their progression from coworkers to friends to something more. Even though the novel takes place in a relatively short time frame, it never felt as if their relationship was rushed. I could clearly see why certain things were happening along the way in developing the plot, yet the events never felt contrived-very skillfully done.Both the hero and heroine had a considerable amount of baggage going into their we're-not-dating relationship, and for the most part it was believable. I thought Jasmine was perhaps a little quick to forgive her mother after so many years, but on the other hand I was glad that she finally did, so am willing to overlook the abruptness. I liked how Ms. Baxter gradually showed us-and Jasmine-just how different the reality of Aaron was as compared to the public image.All in all, I am definitely looking forward to seeing more from this series. There's quite a few firefighters left, so I'd love to see them all get their HEAs! (Out of fairness, naturally. Not just because I want to read about hot firefighters. Honest.)A- for a highly entertaining read.received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
