Complimentary copy provided by author/publisher for an honest reviewWhen life has dealt you blow after blow, can you really find yourself in amongst the rubble?  I cannot imagine Eve's pain and what it felt like to have what you thought was your life change in an instant. To learn that your husband and father of your children was with another and leaving you for them, then to return to the scene of his confession alone during Christmas! Eve really needed to move on but little did she know that she was about to be handed a whole new obstacle in the game of life.I really thought this was such a sweet romance blooming between a very sexy and damaged Fire chief, Jake, and Eve. Jake also has demons from a past failed marriage. Together they are fire but their insecurities are quick to douse the flames that spark between the two. As I read I could totally see as an ongoing episode of a soap opera!There is something there…hope.Drama sceneLust and realizationMore dramaUs, the readers are but viewers here, screaming at the characters to see that he loves her and she loves him, “Oh no don't take it that way”,” You are being an ass” and then some tears and angst.I loved how that this is not your fresh out of High school or college virginal woman meets domineering and rich man. Although Eve comes from money, Jake is your everyday hark working guy and they both are in their 30s with children. Temperamental, strong headed, and both had given up and fallen victims to life's mundane routines. Did I mention Jake is scruffy and a sexy fireman that wears jeans with boots and plaid? *wink*The author also did a wonderful job addressing some common issues such as cheating, divorce, children of split families in a tasteful and realistic way. She didn’t shy from them but embraced them and made them an intricate part of the story. I just loved both Eve’s and Jake’s love for their children and vice versa.You will find this a nice read that will make you want to curl onto the couch next to a cozy fire with a glass of wine. Just enough steam, drama, and twists that leads to a wrapped up ending with a hint of more to come!4 *WINK* READBook Flirts by Jessi
