Olivia Burke is on her way to a conference and a visit to her best friend. She is determined to start living her life again and with her friend's support she thinks she might just be ready to do just that. Then her new-found determination is put to the test when she meets Owen at the airport bar just before she leaves town.Owen Maxwell, a FDNY Firefighter, is heading out of town to spend a boys' weekend with his buddies before one of them settles down for good. He takes his job and his family seriously, but he has no plans to settle down anytime soon. But then he meets Olivia and all that changes in an instant.This was such an interesting story. I loved that both Olivia and Owen had to fight their instincts to protect themselves before allowing the chance to connect to someone else, but what I loved the most was that the initial connection though paired with intense attraction was much more than physical.Their flirty banter and honest interactions along with that magnetic chemistry that always ran under the surface made their connection even stronger in my eyes.Zoe Norman did a great job in bringing their hesitations, fears and desires to the page in a way that truly displayed how deeply their conflicting emotions were.All in all, a romantic read that although steamy it also had all the elements of a sweet read.
