The PremiseGrace is a fixer. She's good at it, too. In her acupuncture practice, she fixes the community of Darling Bay, and in her personal life, she's rescued her sister too many times to count. Her love life, though . . . Grace doesn't think she needs help, especially not from a man whose very nickname is unhealthy.Tox Ellis is the hazmat expert at the Darling Bay Fire Department, and he knows about harmful substances. He knows what gases to keep apart to prevent explosions. Why, then, can't he seem to stay away from Grace, the woman who seems to think he needs fixing?My ThoughtsI enjoyed getting to know both Tox and Grace and the connection between them was set up in a lovely way. I tend to gravitate towards stories that allow me a glimpse into the hero’s mind, because I like being able to see their interest and connection with the heroine, and that was definitely the case here.  Tox and Grace are developed in a natural way, I liked the flow of the writing and the humor.I did think that the time frame for the romance was a bit too condensed and would have liked to have seen it developed more.  Other than that initial exposure to Grace’s practice as an acupuncturist, there was very little follow up with that and I was interested in seeing more.  It felt as if there was no resolution to Tox’s health and Grace’s issues with control.The Bottom LineSweet little romance by an author I’m not familiar with, but I was inspired to check out the other book in the series, so I’d say that it’s worth the time to check this out.
