The book puzzled me at first. It seemed like the only reason the female lead had broken up with her boyfriend was fear, so I could not understand why Katy would go for Nick when she suddenly felt better. She had decided to break off her engagement with her long term boyfriend, also a fellow doctor, when her father had died on the job. So why would someone who experienced the loss a firefighting parent choose another firefighter over the safer ex-boyfriend option?On the other hand Nick and Katy embark on a hot, steamy, and very fast romance that seems to go against everything she is. As the story unfolds and they both are faced with the fact they don’t know each other well, Katy’s fear returns more than once, yet for some reason she goes against it. Tidbits of her past with her ex reveal a relationship based on a lot of competition, both in their careers and in their private lives, versus a relaxed, easy going relationship with Nick.I thought the book to be a bit slow in the first half, as it focused mostly on Katy, Nick, and how they made their relationship work in the middle of their crazy lives, both working long, stressful shifts. Add to that Nick’s mom being terminally ill and a pissed off ex-finance, and things start to get complicated after that. With danger lurking around the corner for Nick and Katy’s frequent realizations that she does not really know him, the reader ends up questioning if and when these two will find their footing. I ended up loving the unusual plot line for a romance and I am looking forward to book two as this is, you guessed it, a series!
