Chloe English has just packed up her life and moved to Ribbon Ridge, Oregon. Shortly after getting in her new home, she watches it burn to the ground. Volunteer fireman, Derek Sumner, is going to take care of everything, though. That is, if he can conquer his own set of demons. Oh, and if Chloe can get over her aversion to a career man.Aside from Derek’s weirdness towards his old home, he seemed amazing to me. I loved that he wouldn’t let Chloe not give them a chance. I also absolutely loved his views on work and family. Of course, it’d be hard for him not to have great views after spending so much time with Rob & Emily Archer, the couple that adopted him as their own. I LOVED Rob and Emily! They had so much, but it was apparent that their families were worth more than anything to them. Plus, it wasn’t just their families that they were good to. They were kind, loving, and helpful to everyone. I wanted to move in!The one downside of the story for me was Derek’s reactions to his old home. I thought something more dramatic had happened to him with the way he behaved. I really thought there was going to be something more to his odd behavior. I know grief can show itself in many forms, but it just didn’t seem realistic to me.Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the story as a whole. The romance was super sweet, and I can’t wait to read Only in My Dreams, Sara Archer’s story! Oh, and I LOVE the adorable cover! 4 STARS!!!!Warnings: this story contains some language and sexual content not suitable for minors.*I received a copy via NetGalley and Intrepid Reads in exchange for an honest review.*
