Jamie Lansing and Smith Greyson have been friends for years. He frequents her bar, they bowl together, and conversation is easy. As a straight-laced romantic, this firefighter/construction worker doesn’t fit her idea of Mr. Right. Yet there’s an undeniable attraction between the two. It’s evident in their playful banter and harmless flirting. She firmly believes he’s not the one for her, but one dance changes everything, and their friendship rockets to a whole other level.I am ashamed to say, this is the first book I’ve read by Lauren Blakely. I know, I know! I’ve been missing out. Burn for Me is fantastic! It’s the best balance of sweet and sexy! It’s a story where wine-and-poetry meets beer-and-Mad Libs. Really…Mad Libs!I loved the characters, especially Smith and his dirty mouth. He’s swoon-worthy for sure! I love the chemistry between Smith and Jamie, though she really frustrated me at times. She’s stubborn, and there were a few moment where I wanted to yell at her. But if I’m having that kind of reaction to a character then you know I’m deeply invested in the story.This novella is fast-paced and fun, romantic and steamy—it’s a perfect summer read! I hope we see more of Smith and Jamie in the future!
