The Line series by Ms. Kincaid is a must read and the latest novella, Pushing the Line,  is no exception!Harper McGee is an artist and lover of adventure. "She was more of an extended-stay-till-she-got-bored kind of girl." She is in Brentsville for the funeral of her beloved Grandmother Isabelle, known as Izzy to her friends and customers. She was the owner and candy maker for Luscious, a candy store known far and wide for it's sweet treats.  Harper's plan is to settle things and be on her way, but after a visit with Izzy's attorney she now finds herself the new owner of Luscious, and her grandmothers brownstone.  Her first thought? Find a realtor!  She stops to take a look at the candy shop, and is confronted with a kitchen full of smoke. She immediately calls 911, and decides to try and keep it contained. Wrong decision! When the Fire Department arrives, the kitchen is pretty well involved, and Harper has "eaten a lot of smoke."  The firefighter is forcing her out of the kitchen, but she ducks, and runs back to grab something. His patience has run out, and he grabs her and throws her over his shoulder.  As she is being carried out, her first thought?  "Wow. Firefighter Guy has a seriously tight butt!"Aaron Fisher is the "Firefighter Guy." He has lived in Brentsville his whole life, and was very fond of Izzy and her salted caramels.  He is furious and frustrated that this young woman would endanger her life for some antique candy molds, and amazed when he discovers she is Izzy's grandaughter.  The shop is saved, but sustained a lot of fire and water damage.  Now Harper has to repair the shop before it can sell. More time spent in Brentsville!  She contacts the contractor recommended, and who shows up?  Firefighter Guy, who supplements his income helping with his friends business.This story of the wanderer and the homebody is a delight to read. Some characters from previous stories make an appearance, but in my opinion, this can be read as a stand alone. After saying that, it's much more fun to read all the books in order.This novella has lots of laughs, hot fire fighters, and ~sigh~ lots of candy talk.  You might want to keep something yummy close by while reading.I received this novella from the publisher for an honest review.Pat Fordyce
