Delia is a cop asked to partner-up with Colin, a fire marshal investigating for a string of arson fires. Not only is Colin handsome and sexy, he's also Delia's ex. The only man that she truly wanted to submit to, but was too afraid to act on her desires with when they had a relationship a year ago.Colin never forgot Delia and if he was being honest with himself his one regret in life was letting her go. Their attraction is still simmering right under the surface of their working relationship and now that they have to pretend to be something more, he's determined to not let her go again.Now this is more like it!I loved this story. The characters were complex, their chemistry was off-the-charts HOT and the whole mystery bit behind the fires was interesting too. Jodie Griffin did a great job in bringing to the page how deep the connection between Delia and Colin was. I could easily see how much they cared about each other. It came across with every dialogue exchanged, every look and every touch. Although both Delia and Colin were conflicted about their emotions for each other and about wanting something more between them, they couldn't help but be drawn to each other whenever they were in the same room.I liked that Delia was a strong character, yet had a vulnerable side to her. She was independent and strong-minded, but she had the desire to give up control. Colin was interesting to get to know too. I enjoyed reading his thoughts, needs and wants. I His reaction to Delia's desires were a treat to read and I admired his determination to give Delia what she needed. He was a strong alpha-male type, but had a big heart when it came to Delia. Dominant but tender, sexy and vulnerable too, Colin was an amazing partner for her. I enjoyed them both very much!The writing was entertaining and drew me into the story not only because of the romance but because of the mystery too. I was curious to know what the hell was happening and the motive behind the fires. I enjoyed the little moments when they discovered the evidence that led them to suspect this had something to do with the BDSM lifestyle and enjoyed even more their undercover work.It's always great to visit Bondage & Breakfast and this time was no different. The events that took place throughout the story, the emotions the characters revealed, the resolution of the conflict and its aftermath were wrapped up together very well to make this an awesome read for me.Forbidden Fires was a fantastic, sexy read with interesting characters, hot chemistry and a mystery that kept me riveted. This is the third book in the Bondage & Breakfast series but can be read as a stand alone too. This is my favorite book in the series so far. I believe the next one, Forbidden Obsessions , tells Gabe's story. I'm curious to know more about the sexy Dom owner of Bondage & Breakfast. I can't wait!I received this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange of my honest opinion.
