4.5 StarsI really love second chance stories and Jackie Barbosa seems to have quite the knack for writing them. Can’t Take the Heat packs a whole lot of story into a novella sized package and it is one awesome read! This book takes place over 5 days when firefighter Delaney Monroe is injured and her ex-fiancé is called because he’s listed as her emergency contact.It’s hard to review this book without giving away so much of the story but I will tell you that it’s been three years since they were together, while they’ve tried to move on it’s pretty evident that neither really has and in the aftermath of the accident they are forced to deal with one another on a different level.During this story it was easy to see that they were still in love and that despite the issue between them they were meant to be together. The love and care they show and the undeniable chemistry drives home this point.Both characters have questions, doubts, and some pretty amazing moments of clarity and I flat out loved watching them figure it all out. Yes, this is a super, short read and of course I wanted more (don’t I always) but this is an amazing story filled with awesome characters, a great plot, and a fantastic ending!Review copy provided for an honest review.
